Stolypin demanded The suspension of 49 Social Democratic Deputies nnd the arrest of 10 others, pending enquiry into a plot discovered at Ohsol’s residence to overthiow the existing system of government and establish a Democratic Eepublic by means of a military revolutionary fighting organisation with ramifications throughout the Empire.
