St Petersburg, Juiy 19.--The belief that the adoption by the lower House of Parliament today of proclamation to the nation on me agrarian question will precipitate the long brewing con- fiict and plunz the country Into civil war is profo&4d
 All hope reconciliation between Parliament ahd the government is van ishing and <he government is evidently preparings<p take up the gauge of bat tie when kit Is formally thrown down. At the c5uncil held at Peterhof last night the camarilla came out strongly in favor of dissolving Parliament, but according to the best information. the Emperor hesitated and at the moment Qf8 8dtournment refused to agree to d
 istolution, though his hnai decision Was postponed.
 lion of the constitutional democrats Eeomprehending that the governm mt can hardly avoid the issue shrink from making the appeal to the country which my involve climb down. They serl- ously believe that the advocates ofE a dissolution of Parliament realizing that making the appeal would be equiv- alent to declaration of civil war cou.ft upon the active intervention of Austria ls officisl Rossia have agreed in princi- pie oil sending troops across the border to aid In the suppression of an agra rian uprising should the Russian gov ernment formally request 1t.
 The Rossia.s announcement created q tremendous sensation. It is stated that the decision of the two neighborihS powers was based on fear that the ex- ecutfon Of the peoples threat of confis- no AZ fw Tn R4IaNfQ vVn4tfA constitute a danger to them.
 The Rech which Joins in the appeal to Parliament not to take a step which might seem to werrant the govern ment in asserting that Parliament Is attempting to usurp the executive power says that if the government adopts the desperate expedient of eall- Ing In foreign troops to put down q riviI war the result will not be Inc same as in fs4s when Russian army saved the Hapsburg dynasty.
 Diplomatic Circles stirred.
 In diplomatic circles the report of the virtual revival of the holy allf- ance for the maintenance of the prin- ciple of the invioiability Of property also produced stir but the inquiry made at the Austrian and Ger. man embassies failed to elicit any con- firmation.
 At the foreign offlce the spokesman of Foreign Minister Iswoislsy laughed at the idea that Russia would Invite foreign troops to enter her territory Mir. Iswolsky was said to be, as much surprised as the public ct the story, the origin of which is not known here.
 It was positively stated that the re- port did not originate at the foreign offlce, moreover the statement was un- equlvocaiiy made that Russia knew nothing of any such arrangement be- tween. Austria and Germany These of ficial deniala seem to exclude the existence of e formal arrangement be- tween the three governmnts, but with the means at the disposal of the three monarchs for personal communication 1t Is possible that personal pledges covering certain contingencies may have been exchanged.
 When the debate on the address to the people was resumed the moderate faction of the constitutional demo- crats tested the temper of the House with a motion to postpone It's discus sion, but 1t was overwhelmingly de- feated
 M Petrunkevitch then offered substitute, the main purpose of which was to make it clear to the peasants that parliament maintains the princi- pie of payment for the lands dlstrib- uted. This was designed to split off the support of the members of the group of toll who advocate conflsca- ton, pure and simple.
