RADICAL MEASURE FAILS
Address to the Country That Does Not
Challenge the Government.

st. Petersburg, July 20. = An ad
dress to the country setting forth the
attitude of parliament on the agrarian
question and the reasons for the de-
lay in the adoption of solution of the
problem was adopted by the lower
house at o'clock this morning, but in
an emasculated form, with changes
designed to minimize the revolution
airy features of the document as an ap-
peal to the people against the govern
ment, and to shift the emphasis to a
note of pacifieation, in which the peas
antry are exhorted to refrain from eX-
cesses and violence, and to await par
hament's decision in the matter.
The vote was taken at the close of
sitting that lasted continuously for
twelve hours, in which it seemed prob
able that the address would be reject
/ ed entirely by the combined votes Of
/ the right and left wings of the house
against the irresolute center party The
/ address was only saved from this fate
/ by the abstention from voting of 101
members of the Group Of Toll and
/ sympathiZers with that faction. who IA
vored a more radical measure There
were only 124 votes, all Constitutional
Democrats, for the address and SO
against it. The minority comprised
Count Hayden and Michael Stakoyich
a marshal of the nobility, and other
members of the right. with a few ex.
tremists from the Socialist camp.
The session. which was a stormy
one, was marked at one time by the
withdrawal of the entire Group of Toi
as protest against the "reactionary'
attitude of the majority. Afterward;
the caucus Of the group determined tt
return to the chamber, but not TO vote
either for or against the address, or
the ground that they would be play
ing into the governments hands which
J ever way they voted. and instead Il
