people may be a signal for the coup d'etat
against Parliament. II is rumored that
the step has been decided upon and the
5trana prints a report that an imperial
ukase ordering the dissolution Of Parla"
ment, has already been signed.
The feeling OF general alarm is increased
by the fact that all night long guard
regiments have been marching into the
city from the guards camp at Krasnoye-

Instructions regarding the disposition OF
their troops in the case OF certain eventual
tiles An attempt was made to reassure
the public when this fact leaked out with
the explanation that these were precau-
tionary dispositions arranged in view Of
the threatening situation among the work.
dence seems conclusive that the govern

grayest emergency.
Decision Not Known.
So far as can be ascertained, however.
no final decision has been taken at Peter
hof the ministry. which believes II is
again back In the saddle, hopes 70 prolong
the status quo, while the court carnerilla
insists that the sooner the Parliament as
the center Of the evolutionary propa-

sides unite in the necessity for prepara-
tions TO meet the extra constitutional step
OF the lower house.

WA. how the change In the form Of the adj
dress. as finally adopted early this morn
ing. will affect the situation. Undoubtedly
the constitutional democrats did all they
could to amend the address, 80 as to avoid
the appearance OF Parliament entering
upon a revolutionary role. During the de-
bate they dwelt upon the point that the
address did not summon the people to sup
port Parliament against the government,
and instead of provoking the masses to an
uprising. II adjured them to remain quiet.
Nevertheless, they we're forced. owing to
dlssensions in their own ranks. to eliminate
a declaration In favor of the principle Of
payment for appropriated land, thus in a
measure confirming the idea prevalent
among the peasantry that the confscatlou
OF the land would be for their benefit pure
and simple.
May Disrupt Democrats.
The evident desire Of the constitutional
democrats TO extract the teeth from the
address drove the members of the grouT
