St. Petersburg, May 21--The threat ened storm over the emperor's refusal to receive the delegation from the lower House Parliament appointed to pre- sent to him It's reply to the speech from the throne. has been averted. The lution to proceed with the regular orr der of business and the discussion Of the agrarian question.
 The moderate leaders of the consti- tutional Democrats after laboring with the hot-heads until the early morning hours succeeding in convincing them that 1t would be fatal blunder to pre- cipitate a conflict upon a false issue and resolution was prepared pointing out that the importance of the address consisted in it's contents and not in the form in which 1t is transmitted to the emperor. Some of the constitutional Democrats frankly expressed the opin- ion that the house itself committed an error in appointing the deputation when the law specifically provided that communications from the house should go through the president The emperor's action in refusing to ! receive the deputation created much popular excitement.
 Fear of n Rupture. The papers voiced the fear that ft meant a rupture and crowds collected about the Tauride palace before the opening of the session of parliament today
 While his majesty's act Is in strict conformity with the correctness and Journalism which have characterized his career. nevertheless his failure to seize. the occasion to meet the peoples repre- sntatives dirctly is sure to produce a bad impression in the country where the burden of the popular outcry has always been directed against the bureaucratic intermediates.
 When President Mouromtseh on calI- ing the lower house to order today briefly announced what had happened. Novogorodseff of Yekateronnoniay, presented a resolution urging the ne- cessity of overlooking minor incidents and getting to work on the agrartan question.
 Alladin. the leader of the extreme left. contented himself with pointing out the obstacles put in the way of harmonizing action by the crown. Pro- lessor Maxim Kovalevsky of KharkoR. concluded the debate by reviewing the procedure in Great Britain and Ger many, showing that there was no occa- sion for the house to take offense. The reso :tion of Novgorodseff. urging the necessity for overlooking minor incl dents and getting to work on the agra rian question was unanimously adopted. after which the house proceeded with the agrarian debate.
 Ownership of the Land.
 The project adopted by the conven- ton of the constitutional Democrats, laying down the general principle that the land belonged to those who titled 1t, was formally presented. but was tenn porarily laid aside to permit the organ ization of committees to examine cre- dentiaIs and investigate the election or members.
 No ministers had been present in the nf o'clock in the afternoon.
 The distinction of making the first remarks in the lower house from the ministerial benches fell upon Charles von schanebach. comptroller of the empire. when the house after recess called up the interpolation addressed to Interior minister Stolypin, May IT, in regar to the imprisoned political or- tenders NJ Stolypin was not present and M. schanebach in his behalf said that NJ stolypin would be ready to reply in a day or two.
 After an hours discussion the house adjourned without fixing any date for inc next session. which probably will be Thursday.
