Homiakoff, in a letter to the newspapers, expresses his own :md his colleagues great mortification at reading the British labour manifesto, and protests that an insult to the members of the Duma is conveyed in it. An inappropriate contrast is set up in the manifesto between the representatives of the. Russian,people and the Sovereign. The cordial welcome extended to them warrants the conviction that the manifesto does not express the opinion of the nation. In the House of Commons the At-torney-General, in reply to. Colonel Carlile, characterised -the articles in a certain newspaper, inciting the murder of the Czar on the occasion of his visit to England a? highly reprehensible, hut in view of the.. anpronching visit, it was at present inadvisable and unnecessary to state the Government's intentions in regard to prosecuting the newspaper.
