Two Hundred Members Of outlawed Body Gather In viborg and Issue Manifesto to People-Advse Them to Refuse to Raise Taxes and Re- cruits For Government - Emperor Relieves Premier Goremykin and Ap- His Stead - Powers Approximately Those of Martial Law Placed In the Hands of Rulers of St. Petersburg. Public and Private Meetings For bidden and Newspapers Suspended. St. Petersburg, July 9. With the imperial ukase dissolving parliament, which has been promulgated, the cur tain rose upon possibly the last act in the great drama of the Russian revo- lution. The people and the govern ment now stand face to face, and upon the loyalty of the army depends the immediate issue.
 In St Petersburg a squadron of Cos SdChS IcluSSu lO ulSpClCC pouy Oh revolutionists and turned against its officers. They were placed under ar rest. The revolutionists say that this incident shows that when the time Is ripe the whole garrison will rise in re volt.
 Even should the government, howev CT, succeed in getting on the lid" the victory probably will only be tenn porary and simply confine the steam for the final explosion. No one doubts the severity of the storm which will arise in the country in response to the emperor's dispersal of the men whom he welcomed two months ago in the Winter palace as the best men in Russia But the die Is cast. The government has elected to fight, and the capital bears eloquent testimony of the preparations made to repress the masses by force. The city is pack ed with soldiers and resembles an arm- ed camp. .Ia. a-...
 Troops Fill Capital.
 Troops were brought in and disposed of according to plans previously adopt ed. The re-enforcements include four infantry regiments of the Chevalier guard, hussars, mounted grenadiers and battery of machine guns. The troops occupy railroad stations and the bridges across the rivers and ca nals, and the patrols of both police and gendarmes are everywhere doubled.
 An imperial ukase relieves M. Go remykin of the premiership and ap- points as premier NJ. Stolypin, who also retains his' present post of min- ister of the interior. Minister of Agri- culture Stichinsky has resigned.
 The imperial ukase dissolving parlia- ment says that a new assembly shall be elected to meet on March of next year.
 Hundreds of Arrests.
 The work of gathering in revolution ary agitators began immediately after the ukase placing St. Petersburg in "a state of extraordinary security was promulgated, and hundreds of arrests were made.
 The powers conferred upon NJ. von der Launitz,. prefect of police, and NJ. Zinovieff, governor of the province, are little short of those of petty dictators. 
 without process of law, newspapers are forced to suspend publication and persons deported by administrative or der without trial. Public and private meetings are forbidden. Those arrest ed may, if it is desired, be tried by military courts and summarily eyecut- ed. There is little real difference be- tween "extraordinary security" and full martial law.
 The Social Democrats and the Group of Foil In the douma have all along recognized that when 1t came to a con- f1ict the burden must be borne by them in the beginning, and the most elab- crate preparations have been made to repeat the tactics of last fall and para lyze the country with general strike. They confidently believe the loyalty of the troops has been so shaken that the military supports of the govern ment will give way and that when put to the test the army will be divided against itself
 Expect Peasants to Rise.
 Although the news of the dissolution of the douma spread like wildfire among the members of the various po- litical organizations, the masses here generally are hardly awake to the mo- mentous event. The news travelled fast in the country, and the general ex- pectation is that the peasantry, accept ing the dispersal of the douma as the final blow to their hopes, will rise en masse
 While NJ. Stolypin, who succeeds NJ Goremykin as premier, undoubtedly is a much stronger man than his prede cessor, he probably will be unequal tc the task of piloting the country through the ravnlutionarY unheaYal which is
