Partial Amnesty Offer Sparks Mixed Reactions in Lower House
In a tense session President Mouromtseff led as ministers, excluding Premier Goremykin, prepared to discuss amnesty for political prisoners except those charged with murder or robbery. The debate featured protests over suffrage omissions, a new procedural rule enabling filibusters, and a Conservative peasant bloc motion that was decisively defeated.
