IMPERIAL UKASE ISSUED

St. Petersburg, June 5.-(2:10 a. m. The Russian Government has shown that 1t has not weakened in this hour of disaster. Instead of yielding to the stormy demands which the radicals hoped Admiral Rojestvensky's defeat would force the Government to grant, the Emperor issued a ukase Sunday conferring greatly increased powers on Governor General Trepoff, making him Assistant Minister of the Interior in place of Major General Rydzefsky, who is made a Senator, also chief of the de- partment of police and commander of the corps of the gendarmerie.
 General Trepoff is given the right by the ukase to close all assemblies and congresses. to suspend indefinitely all societies. leagues and other bodies manifesting hostile actions and to take all other steps necessary to preserve order so as to prevent interference with the established regime and to suppress the revolutionary propaganda.
 This ukase, which entrusts almost dictatoria1 powers to the head of the Imperial police to control the agita- tion now almost peremptorily demands ing a constitution, representative Gov ernment and the surrender of the vital principles of the autocracy, and to put down the disorders with which the revolutionaries are threatening the
 
 emperor. The document is of the deep est importance in the present state of Russia and indicates that the Govern ment, while steadily proceeding in It's plan for the fulfillment of the imperial promises contained in the rescript of March 3, is determined not to be swerved from it's purpose by the pres- sure of military and naval disasters, but in its own time and as speedily as possible to give the nation the legis- 1ative body on which the Bouligan commission has been working. In it may perhaps also be read the intima- tion that the war will continue and that the question of peace will not be sub mitted to zemsky zabor.
 NO Definite Plans.
 According to The Russ, the report of the result of the labors of the Bouli- gan Commission. which has now been printed and submitted to the commits sioners. does not embody a definite plan for the organization and functions of a new governmental body. but rather a collection and classification of the nec- essary data for the formation of an assembly. giving alternative views of the various points in dispute and leav- Ing the final decision in the hands of the ministers.
 The material gathered by the com mission has been grouped under five heads:
 First. historical survey of the forms assumed by popular representation Tn Russia; second. consideration of tho effect of the summoning of a popular assembly of the country under present circumstances; third. the extent to which suffrage shall be granted, wheth- CT on universal. educational or property qualifications, and whether classes and occupations should be represented: fourth, the extent of the assembly's rights over the budget: and. last. what provinces of the Government should be removed to the competency of the as- sembly.
 Thus nothing regarding the Imperial douma" has been predetermined. Min ister Bouligan reserving the right to give his opinion to his ministers.
