GOSUDARSTVENNAIDUMA, GOSUDARSTVENNAISOVET Czar Will Confer - These on Russia, Keeping Final Authority In His Own Hands By Associated Press. ST. PETERSBURG, June j 12.— The Russian experiment. in parliamentarism will begin In September. The Associa ted Press Is now in a position to make this positive announcement. . The em peror has already fflven his approval, to the scheme, now being finally but for mally reviewed by the council of state, for a legislative body consisting of a lower house called j the | Gosudarstven naladuma, or "Imperial Duma," and an upper house, Gosudarstvennalasovet, ior the present council of the empire, with power to formulate legislation, discuss the budget, interpellate ministers, etc., while reserving In the emperor's . own hands the final authority. . •;../'.; The elections will take place during the coming summer. Although ■ the scheme clings with desperation to, the essence of autocracy, it marks the be ginning of the end. The die once cast there can be no retreat and the quasi parliamentary regime which will be In augurated will prove to be merely a transitory bridge over which absolut ism must cross to constitutionalism. Peace and a constitution appear sim ultaneously on the Russian horizon. The proclamation of parliament, either In the form of a manifesto or as a ukase, will be promulgated within a few days.
