RUSSIA AND CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY.
m* THE DUMA. By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyrigfet, ST. PETERSBURG, 26th March. M. Kukhoff, in his presidential address to the Duma, declared that constitutional monarchy did not, and could not, imply Parliamentary government in tho English sense in Russia at the present day. He foreshadowed Bills systematising national defence and co-ordinating national education. In 1905 a law was promulgated granting to the Russian population "the firm foundations of public liberty; based on the principles of the real inviolability of the person, and of freedom of conscience, speech, assembly, and association, and establishing an unalterable rule that no law shall come into effect without the approval ol the Duma, and that to the elected of the people shall be guaranteed the possibility of a real participation in the control of the legality of the acts of such authorities as are appointed by the Emperor."
