DEBATE ON AeRARIAN BILL
Parliament May Find itself Adjourned
Before Committee Has Measure
Prepared.

ST PETERSBURG. June 1.-THE debate
on the agrarian question in the lower
house Of Parliament promises to continue
throughout the week, and when it is fin
ished the solution of the question will
hardly be much further advanced than
when the debate began, as the idea of Civ
ing instructions to the commission which
will frame the bill has been abandoned.
Whatever lighting occurs will come upon
the election Of the committee, which con-
sists Of twenty -eight members
While the commission will be supposed to
follow the general direction Of the views
expressed during the debate, its size will
make II easy to reopen a discussion OF all
the disputed points. Therefore there is lit
tie prospect that the bill will be ready for
submission before July ]. at about which
time It is the governments intention TO
declare Parliament adjourned until Sep
tember for the summer vacation.
The members Of the house dare not re-
turn to their constituents after a fruitless
session Of two months, and doubtless will
resist any attempt to adjourn.
Nevertheless, the house will be power
less II the government persists. The gov
ernments plan Is clear. The house having
failed to offer a solution OF the agrarlan
question, the emperor, under the authority
reserved to him by the fundamental law
will promulgate the governments agrarian
: -ogrsm as a temporary law, in the hope
. the peasants, disgusted at the failure
9rllament to give relief, viii accept

own in the autumn. The mere sd'
journmsnt Of Parliament against the protest
of the lower house of Parliament is sure &c
raise a popular outcry, with which the
government will have to reckon, and the
situation and temper of the country at the
moment Parliament adourns will determine
whether the government will have the cour'
age to attempt to execute the scheme.
The peasants are reported to have taker
possession of the estate of n. StakOvich
member of the lower house belonging t
the October party in Ryazan province.
ODESSA, June 11-Since the commence
nlent of the repatriation of the troops
which took part in the war with Japan
1890 men, including the Russian prisoners
from Japan, have been landed here ant
distributed throughout the interior of th'
country The most stringent precautions
were observed during the whole period IL
order to prevent the slightest intercourse
between the returning troops and th
townspeople, in consequence of fears o
mutinous demonstrations, as it was unde
niable that the troops coming home wer'
largely disaffected
The spirit of dissatisfaction was evei
more noticeable among the officers than il
the men. The former frankly expressed
the opinion that II Parliament can hold it
own until the spring it will be able 4
count on the army to support It's demands
