St Petersburg, July 27.-The em peror Is apparently convinced that he took the right course in suppressina parliament. A member of the nobil fly who saw the emperor yesterday informed The Associated Press to- day that his majesty displayed excep tionally high spirits. Two weeks ago when be saw him the emperor seemed to be under great mental strain ov. CT the situation. But, with "parlia. ment off his hands" and the govern. ment again free to pursue it's own policy q great burden appeared to be lifted from his shoulders. The oriRi. nal plan of creating an advisory council, the emperor having broken down Premier Stolypin's purpose, Is to form g reorganized cabinet con taining non-bureaucratic . elements which will be able to introduce the policy of strong handed reform proclaimed by the government. He has secured tentative acceptances from NJ. Guichkoff. the moderate member of the Moscow zemstyo, Prince Georgi Evgororovich Lvoff, of Tula; Prince Nikolai NIkolaietich Lvoff of Saratov; and NJ. Stakoyich, of Orel, upon condition that no less than half the portfolios are, to be given to non-bureaucrats and that a broad, conciliatory program of re. form'S will be proclaimed In the hope of calming the population. Some of those with whom NJ. StolypIn is ne gotiating are insisting that the pro- gram must include declaration in favor of placing the Jews and all in- habitants on an equal footing before the law.
 The official Rossia today summons the people to abandon their indifYer. ent attitude toward the revolution and strike hard for the government which is opening the doors to m era of reform" adding that mo govern ment has the right to try experiments with the country"
 Running parallel with these liberal promises NJ. Stolypln has issued an- other circular to the governors giv- ing them authority to arrest persons belonging to revolutionary parties and when found in possession of in- criminating documents to ''exile them to the utmost limits of the empire" 1" Transcaucasia has been placed un- der state of exceptional security.
 The decision regarding the pro- posed general strike is still in the balance. The conferences of the leaders are being greatly hampered by the activity of the police, who hound them from place to place. The hope of the leaders being able to bring about general Coup D'Etat however, is vanishing. The reports of the support to be expected from the army are disappointing and cer- tain faint heartedness is noticeable among the leaders, produced by fear of failure in the face of the imposing array of the governments military forces. A section of the constitution al democrats has withdrawn from all participation in the conspiracy. not being ready to sanction the open ing of civil war.
 Half a dozen government spies were found dead in the industrial section of St Petersburg this morn ing, political assassinations are ln- in Poland and small strikes are reported to have been declared in many places in the provinces: but, the peasant movement. so far as the reports show. is not gathering head way.
 Half of the Semlrovsky guard regi- ment has been sent to Cronstadt In view of the ugly temper of the sail- ors there.
