WILL NOT DISSOLVE DONNA

Paris, July 20.-The Journal says it
is in a position to affirm that in the
course of a recent interview at Schoen-
brunn palace, near Vienna, between
the emperor of Austria-Hungary and
the German emperor, their majesties
deliberated upon what means to adopt
in case of the outbreak of a revolution
in Russia.
Emperor Nicholas was advised of
the general nature of the 'delibera-
lions.
1t was decided in principle, the pa
per says, that Germany and Austria
would intervene in Poland with armed
forces in case Emperor Nicholas found
it impossible to maintain control of
Poland, the. three emperors thereafter
acting in concert for the maintenance
of the status quo Of their respective
Polish possessions. The Journal fur
Their asserts that this understanding
amounts to regular holy alliance be-
tween the three emperors.
Dictatorship Discussed.
London, July 21.-The Times st. Pc
tersburg correspondent says that the
temper of the court and government
is markedly reactionary and that the
dismissal of parliament and the
declaration of dictatorship are being
seriously discussed.
Address Is Adopted.
st. Petersburg, July 21.-An address
to the country, setting forth the atti-
tude of parliament on the agrarian
question and the reasons for the delay
in the adoption of solution. was
adopted by the lower house. but in an
emasculated form.
Trust Cossacks Only.
Gov. Gen. Kanlbars of Odessa has
been overwhelmed recently with ap-
peals for military assistance from land
owners in the districts of Kherson,
Yekaterinoslav and Poltava against
the peasantry, who are organized and
led by revolutionists.
Cossacks only are furnished for
such duties, as the loyalty of the reg
ular cavalry and infantry is not to be
depended upon.
Hundreds Are Killed.
The troops arrived and tried to dis
perse the mob with volleys of mus
kerry. Many hundreds of the peasants
were killed and wounded, but the
horde stubbornly refused to retreat.
The approach Of masses OF peasants
by other roads made the position of the
troops nntenable and they retreated,
leaving the estates defenseless. The

The railway stations are packed
with refugees and landlords and their
families are camping by the roadsides.
Dragons Kill Eighty Peasants.
Companies of the Ismalovsky regl-
ment of the Imperial guards have been
| placed at the railway stations between
st. Petersburg and Moscow to pratect
them.
Private telegrams say dragons kill
| ed eighty peasants in the village of
! Tamboff. while 1900 people were hold
| ing peaceful meeting and discussing
! the land question
| Leaders Are cresfallen.
st. Petersburg, July 22.-No further
action regarding the proposed address
to the people was taken by the lower
house of parliament yesterday. The
Constitutional Democrats appeared to
be heartily sick of the whole episode
| and anxious to drop the subject if the
government is so minded, and there is
a disposition to shelve the address by
/ indefinite postponement of the ques-
ton as to the manner of it's publica-
1 ton. Prof. Milukoff and other leaders
OF the Constitutional Democratic party
| pointed out that the document is not
technically an appeal to the people,
but might be considered as an "expla-
tor" addressed to nobody in particu-
lar, and, from this standpoint. harm
4 less.
There Is no question but that the
tiasco has enormously shaken the
! prestige of the Constitutional Demo-
Gratis, and the leaders of that party
/ are crestfallen over having been in
duced to play with such edged tools.
Will Not Dissolve Douma.
j Prof. Milukoff told the Associated
Press that he believed there was no
longer any reason to apprehend the
dissolution of parliament, as the gov
eminent would rather seek to profit
by its discussions. The Peterhof cir
/ cles are reported jubilant over the
discontinue Of the Constitutional
i Democrats.
