It insists cn universal suffrage and Ministerial responsibility to the representatives of the nation as the only means of impressing the demands of tho country on a monarch Dot answerable. It asks for abolition of the Counoil of Ministers in its •uo Viuwujlnuus'UJOuoolOiiUrTif pi-fci cages, with compulsory expropriation of private lands. It awaits a full amnesty as a pledge of the Czar's and people’s mutual agreement-

The Council of the Empire is overwhelmingly agalast a full amnesty. Hope of a peaceful solution is dimmed.
