I'm consideration of a report of the

United States regarding the necessity
in the future for the preservation of
order and public safety in the city and

Il necessary to declare in the above

walls there, state of extraordinary
necessity.
"The prefect of the city and the gov
ernor of the province are entrusted
with the rights thereto appertaining.
1.-The ruling senate will not fail to

(signed) NICHOLAS.
"Peterhof, July 21, 1906"
With these pithy but momentous or
ders, which were promulgated at 3
o'clock this morning, Emperor Nicholas
by a stroke of the pen set Russia back
to where she stood two years ago, in
the full grip of the autocracy and ir-
responsible government, wiping out for
six months at least the whole struc-
ture of parliament erected at much
cost.
There is little doubt that the order
for convocation of the new assembly
will still further postpone the time un-
less the new parliament promises to be
more amenable than the present.
The Coming Storm
The delay in fixing the time for the
mex elections seems to indicate a de-
cision to change the present basis of
suffrage to perhaps basis of universal
suffrage with which the advisers of the
emperor hope to swamp the educated
liberals, the Socialists and the working
men with the vast mass of peasantry.
The only uncertainty is the coming
storm-when and where 1t will break.
The advocates of the mailed fist"
believe that by dissolving parliament
and provoking a collision now, they
will find the revolutionary leaders not
prepared for an uprising as at Mos
cow, whereas further delay would
nearly give the revolutionists the time
needed to organize and to continue COR
ruption of the army.
There are no precedents in Russian
history for the execution of an order
of prorogation, but Monday probably
will find the palace in the possession
of the military and the surrounding
streets held by the emperor's guards.

Gus adjourned before the news of the
dissolution of parliament was received,
