Members Of Parliament Return.
st. Petersburg. July 25.-Over 100
of the Russian members of parlia-
ment who Monday issued an address
to the country. reached the Finnish
railroad station here from Wborg at
three O'Clock Tuesday afternoon. A
crowd OF several thousand persons
gathered there before the arrival of
the train, but heavy force of gen
darmes promptly hurried the people
into the streets, whence they were
driven away by mounted gendarmes.
Several arrests of suspects were
made in the crowd, but the orders of
the police, evidently, were limited to
preventing demonstration, the cav
airy in neighboring barrack not APP
pearing. The last car Of the train
was occupied by the members Of the
Group Of Toll and had red flags flying
from the windows as it rolled into
the station. Prince Dolgoroukoff and
M. Naboukoff headed the members
~ they marched out in body
through lines Of police A few
friends who managed to obtain adj
mittance to the station greeted the
parliamentarians warmly, but they
feared to indulge in any demonstra-
ton which might have justified the
arrest Of the members, who fully ex-
peotsd to be surrounded and marched
OF to prison. They appeared grave
but resoIute. On the train 1t had
been arranged that the members of
the various groups, II not arrested.
should hold caucus Tuesday even
ing and confer on the next step.
There seems practically no differ
ence of opinion now. They have gone
too far to retreat. They stand ire
yocably committed and must march
on. The only difference Of opinion
is as to what the next step will be
and how far 1t will go.
To Distribute Address.
Before leaving Viborg 1t was ar
ranged through underground revolu-
tionary channels to distribute the adj
dress to the country, hundreds Of
thousands Of copies of which have al
ready been surreptitiously printed.
The members Of parliament therefore
have already opened an alliance with
the purely revolutionary organize
lions. The opinion Is also nnani-
nous that they must have immediate
recourse to the only weapon at their
disposal. namely, general political
strike for the purpose Of paralyzing
the government. Word has been re-
ceived here that the Moscow work
mems council will be ready Sunday
or Monday. and q tentative decision
to call q strike Will be taken on Sun
day. A telephone message from Mos
cow says that a great popular demon
stration, organized by the leaders Of
the workmen as preliminary to the
strike, occurred In the streets there
Tuesday. but In pursuance Of the
plan care was taken to keep within
peaceful limits and there was NC in
tsrfersnce on the part Of the police
or troops.
Plan Military Dictatorship.
The way has been prepared for q
military dictatorship by proposition
now under consideration at Peterhof
to create an advisory council to assist
the emperor. President Stolypin, Gen.
Trepoff and others conferred with the
emperor upon this subject On the
surface the scheme is to form such
council out Of the members of the
council of the empire and conserva-
tiyes and liberals like NJ. Shipoff and
NJ Guckoff. and also, possibly, sew
eral constitutional democratic lead.

the population of the sincerity of the
