CAR PREPARES
To ESTABLISH
A DICTATORSHIP

st. Petersburg, July A-The way has
been prepared for military dictatorship
by proposition now under consideration
at Peterhof 20 create an advisory council
TO assist the emperor. Premier Stoypin,
Gen. Trepoff and others were today con-
ferring with his majesty upon this sub
ject.
on the surface the scheme is to form
such a council out OF the members of
the council of ministers and the conser-
vative and Liberals. like NM Shipoff
and Guichokoff and also. possibly several
Constitutional democratic leaders. with
the purpose OF reassuring the population
OF the sincerity OF the governments fu-
ture intentions.
NJ. Stolypin evidently believes that the
plan Is achievable, but there is little
hope that either Guichokoff or Shipoff
will in any way make themselves respon-
sible for the energetic measures OF repres-
| sion which the emperor's coup d'etat en-
tails, and IL Is certain that none OF the
Constitutional Democrats will brave the
charge OF open treason in giving co-opera-
tion TO any government measure after the
stop 10 which they committed themselves
at Viborg.
The plan, therefor, which is foredoomed
TO failure seems to be a deliberate plot
OF the court camarflla TO induce the en-
peror TO entrust the direction OF affairs to
an advisory council and while nominally
the council would retain authority the
camarilla would gradually absorb its
power and exercise a virtual dictatorship
as did Count Boris Melikoffs committee
of public safety during the terrorism pre-
cedtng the assassination OF Alexander H.
NJ. Shipoff's opinion of the dissolution
can be judged by the fact that last night
he sent note to a Constitutional Dem
ocratic member OF the council OF the
empire asking for an invitation in the
event that the Constitutional Democratic
group of the council held a caucus.
MEMBERS OF DoUMA ARRESTED.
