Troops Cause Hasty Decision.
Until the last moment 1t seemed that the
desire for unanimous adoption of the
manifesto would be wrecked. There were
sharp differences between the constitu
tional democrats and the revolutionists,
the latter wishing to proclaim the house
in perpetual session and abrogate the
allegiance of the people. while the con-
stitutional democrats favored the declara-
tion of pacific general strike without
resort to revolutionary measures as pro-.
test against the Emperor's dissolution of
parliament.
The psychological moment which
changed the minds of moderates. was the
arrival of Governor Rechanberg with the
court command to disperse or to take the
consequences. when even the most con-
servative Of the constitutional democrats,
such as Petraiitsky and Professor Hert-
zenstein who had made speeches favoring
moderation, struck hands with the radi-
calls Aand the whole assembly foreswore
amendment or debate, and adopted the

mise on the election of permanent execu-

Michaelstakovitch and the Polish dele
gates. every member present signed the
address. the Polish delegates stating that
they had no credentials to advise the
Polish nation as to the future tactics and
that they cannot participate in directing
the Russian people, but that all their
synlpathies were on the side of Russian
revolution.
Immediately after the announcement of
Reichanberg that the meeting of the mem
bers of parliament must dispense, a de-
tachment of infantry was marched past
the Hotel Belyedere to give emphasis to
the threat TO employ troops 70 enforce

The constitutional democratic cohorts in
tend to go to st. Petersburg in body in
the morning, but many OF the radical
members, fearing their arrest on their ar
rival at the capital, will remain for the
present in Finland or return by round
about routes.
The address which bears remarkable
similarity to the manifesto framed by
the council Of workmen last November
which landed its authors and editors of
eight ST. Petersburg newspapers in cells
of the fortress of st. Peter and st. Paul,
strikes the government in its most vul-
nerable point by declaring that the adj
ministration and not parliament is re-
sponsible for the delay In the settlement
Of the agrarian question, and by pro-
claiming a cessation of payment of taxes
and OF military service and reputation of
future loans.

IDEA OF TROUBLE
CITIZENS THERE ARE PAYING NO
ATTENTION TO THE THREATS
MADE AGAINST AMERICAN RAIL
ROAD EMPLOYEES.

Monterey, Mex, July 23.-Newspapers
received from the United States during
the past few days have caused much as
tonishment here with reports of an i'm
pending movement to drive Americans
and other foreigners out of the country.
The foundation for the story rests simply
on the fact that a certain organization
among the railroad men of this country
has posted notices that after September
l6 all American railway employees must
leave the country.
Nowhere is it regarded as a serious
matter.
In Monterey there is no possibility OF
any trouble.
Governor Reyers. governor of the state
of Neuvo Leon, will act in concert with
the federal authorities to prevent any dis
turbances. Stories to the effect that
Americans are leaving Mexico in fear
of their lives are exaggerated.
Americans engaged in business here re-
gard the reports circulated as being alb
surd.
