ST. PETERSBURG. June 1s.-In spite
OF the governments left-handed denial
that It intends 20 order parlis-
mentsry recess the Rech today expressed
the fear that coup d'etat is imminent
and appealed TO the country to mr. ats
voice heard in favor OF the disT 's2f
the ministry and a prolongation a
existence Of Parliament An official Il,
has been given out of the report r.
members Of the ministry participated
the sessions of the Trepoff Star Chambe
at Peterhof which II Is understood, has
absolutely decided that Parliament must
be aot rid OF and Is only hesitating in
regard to the method. Three ways are
proposed: First. to order a recess Of Par
lament for three months: second, TO dis
solve Parliament and order new elections
based on universal sufferage, In the hope
that the temper OF the Parliament thus
elected will be different from the present
body; third, to declare the council of the
empire or upper house the representative
body until a new Parliament is elected.
There are two features Of the situation
which make the court camarilla pause
the early necessity for more money and
the dismay over the growing disaffection
of the troops.
Nicholas Bore ConcilatOry.
Though rumor is busy with the success
OF the reactionaries at ePterhof. reassur-
ing information has been received from
the palace tonight that Emperor Nicholas
has decided to send a senatorial commits
sion to the Baltic provinces TO investigate
the complaints against the activity Of the
military authorities and to learn whether
they are justified in claiming that execu-
tons and martial law cannot be aban-
doned.
Metropolitan Antonius, entertaining MEM

the majority.
AEParian Commission Elected.
The election of the agrarian commission
of ninety-nne today indicates the second
stage Of agrarian legislation in the lower
House of Parliament. but the unwieldy
size of the commission and the reservation
OF eight places for members who have
ffot arrived, gives slight prospect of a
speedy presentation of draft OF a law.
The commission consists virtually of the
inner circle OF the strongest men in Par
lament. the constitutional democrats, NAM
ing among the members NJ. Petrunkevitch
Prof. Ilortzenstein, Prince Dolgourokoff
NJ Petrajivsky and Nicholas Lvoff; the
group OF tOfl, naming M Anlkln ana M
Alladin and the conservatives, Count Hey
den NJ. stakovich and Princes Georgi
Lvofr, volonsky and Urusoff. The makeup
OF MN. Petrajlvsky and Lvoff is evidence
that the constitutional democrats are not
irrevocably committed TO the project elabor.
ated by the party convention held on the
eve OF the assembling OF Parliament, the
deputies named having vigorously attacked
the provision for the rental instead of sale
OF appropriated lands as a step towards
naturalization. The Polish representatives
are unanimously opposed 10 this proposition
and it probably will be eliminated as 4
