Group of Toll Submits Fiery Resolution
 To Doumn.
 St Petersburg, July 17--The lower house of Parliament today began con- alteration of the agrariau committees address to the country in answer to the governments agrarian proposals. Over sixty speakers asked to be heard.
 M. Aladdin, one Of the leaders of the Group of Toll. offered q substitute in sharper language in behalf of the group, urging the House not to appeal te the peasants to exercise patience. but to pledge Parliament never to agree .to any agrarian measure not containing asaciause providing for the forced exrrnpffAftpn Of land
 The house whfch tfroukhout the dis cussion was very animated. WAS ir- tenssiy stirred by a speech by Deputy Lednitsky, one of its best orators. who in moving that a manifesto should be addressed to the people. said par lament must not wait till towns and villages were In flames and the whole country engulfad by anarchy. The speech was greeted with enthusiastic cheers by the left and exclamations of astonishment from the center and right. M. Lsdnitsky then mounted the tribune and declared that the proposition erna- mated from him personally and not from any political group.
 Several constitutional democratic members argued that manifesto could only be contradiction on the part of parliament of an official colnmunica- tion in which the government had cat egorically refused to adhere to the principle of compulsory appropriation Deputy Obninsky said a manifesto would be premature and that such 6 step as its issue ought to be regarded as the last shell given an artilieryman to fire at the supreme moment, and not on the occasion of the publication Of a government communication so false and calumtnous as that was.
 The house then considered interpel- lations.

 Methods If Possible.
 

Washington, July 1T.--rhe evening of July IS probably will be fixed as tho time for an arinIStice In Central America pending the settlement Of the dispute involving Salvador. Guatemala and Honduras
 The state department received dis paptches from the City of Mexico, from Guatemsla City and San salvador. in dieating that all the powers involved In the war are willing to agree upon an armistice. but some difficulty in fixing the time when 1t shall begin has been encountered because of the scat tered condition of the warning troops and the scarcity of means Of communi- cation between the parts of the various republics It is stated by state de- partment officials. however. that to- morrow evening seems to bs arcepfa- ble to all tho powers.
 No further engagements have been reported to the state department and the officials here have no advices con- cesninni the report from the City of Mexico of neavy loss of life.
 Honduras was not party originally to the attempt of the United States to bring the warning nations together, but after 1t became clear that Hon duras was involved in the din1culties. the state department made overtures tO tttte IOtsfAt1 1tAN ttt~ t<kASf v - -At effect that JIon 1Lras would be govern ed by tho action of Salvador. which is It's ally
 Department in the Dark.
 Stats department officials are with out adyices as t. what question will be considered ky the representatives of the battling republics when they meet on the United States cruiser Marbie- head
 Neither has the department been told who the representatives of the belli- gerents will be. nor has the procedure which the envoys of the Central Amer ican countries will take for adjusting their differences been communicated to the state department. The natural means of settling the disputes would be to agree to arbitration and fix the cafdttfeHs under which the hooted questions are to De scoosidered.
 Asa country signatory to The Hague Conference. the United States is held by the State Department to be duty bound to exert every possible effort e bring about peace and it is maintained that the United States cannot be charged with interfering In any way with Central American affairs because 1t has made no attempt whatever to di- rect the negotiations. but has merely offered its good offices and exerted all it's influence in getting the fighting na- ttons to settle their differences by peaceful rather than by warlike meth ods.
