 St. Petersburg. July 23.-The grea news today is the adoption of an ad dress to the reople by the deputies tt Parliament who assembled at Viborg the language of which with its revolu tionary demands that tkey cease ts furnish money and troops to the Gov erDment and repudiate further loans affords pretext enough for the Gov ernment to lodge its authors in ths fortress if it feels strong enough. A rumor was spread tonight that thil course had beeh decided upon.
 large crowd gathered at the Fin land station tonight where the deputies were expected to arrive. But only s few appeared and these were not mo- tested and neither was there populai demonstration. Among the arrivals were President Mourontseff and Ivar Petrunkevitch. The former came on a local train entirely unattended. Ht the salutation of tho Associated Press correspondent by the mere raising oi his hat and hurried on to escape an interview. NJ. Petrunkevitch, filled with the revolutionary spirit, claimed for the Constitutional Democrats the care for the text of the appeal.
 Copies of the appeal to the people are in the hands of all St. Petersburg news papers, but 1t will scarcely be printed tomorrow, for the reason that a de- tachment of police is posted at the door of every newspaper printing office in the city with orders not to permit any papers to leave the building until au- fIforized by the censor. The aiithori- ties hope by equally vigorous measures to prevent the publication of the appeal in other cities and in the meantime to nailify the fears of the people as to the possible effect of the appeal
 Police tonight are posted at the lodgings of NJ Sedeinikoff and M Tyn awaiting the return Of these revolu- tionary delegates who already have in- vnlved themselves by seditious acts since the dissolution of Parliament.
 TheasreR Almost Empty.
 The tfeatreB ana other places of Amusement were almost empty tonight, the public fearing conflict between crowds and military and police. Sever ei encounters took place In various parts of the city but they were all of petty character.
 A few days may witness a provision al government, composed of an eniarg- ed council of ministers with the inclu- sion of conservative members of the dispersed lower House of Parliament, councillors of the Empire and men influential in the life of the Empire who can be induced to accept minis tries without portfolios and contribute their authority and advice to the hard pressed government. This Is the so- lution to which Premier Stolypin and ihe members of his cabinet who realize the enormous nature of the task of tid- ing over the country during the tenn pestuous era that Is now dawning, are turning, and 1t was the subject of de- liberation at. the meeting of the cab. met last night and again this evening.
 The Associated Press IS informed that majority of ministers have become converts to the idea and that It's adop- 'tioa depends upon the success of M (. etolypin in Inducing men like former Finance Minister Shipoff. Court Hey den, former Commerce Minister Tim iriazeff and M (sDchkoff to compromise their future by aliytnk themselves with such a Kings council" Sh!poff and Guchkof already have been appointed.
 The Associated Press also Is informed that a ukase will soon be issued fixing the date of elections for Parliament for the first wetk in December, Russian style, and that as an additional guar antee that the principle of popular rep resentation will not be abandoned. an- other edict will he issued proroguing inc council of the emppire until the convocation of the new Parliament without, as was prophesied Sunday night, calling new elections for elect i've members, meanwhile tho masses of the Russian people, slow of thought and action. have not yet reused themselves to the gigantic upheaval which Is sure to follow the dissolution of their Par liament.
 Coup d'Etat Has Effect.
 The Governments midnight coup d'etat is already having the effect of uniting the discordant clements of the opposition and it requires little pers- picacity to see that an era of repres- sion and all which it entails will drive liberal and revolutionary alike to sup port the most desperate measures
 It is already clear that resistance will ba made According to the last ad- vices from Viborg, the members of Par lianent who fled to Finland, intend to defv the sovereign. They are virtually refusing to recognize the decree of dis solntion. a three hours session in the dining room of the Hotel Belvedere be- inc held last night under the presi- de1cv of M.
