St. Petersburg, July 22.-Russia'S s first parliament came to an ignominous end today, with the promulgatiOn of two imperial ukases the first dissolv ing the present parliament and pro- viding for the cOnvocation of its sue cessor on March 5, 1907, more than six months hence, and the second pro- claiming the capital of Russia and the surrounding province to be in a state of extraordinary insecurity, which is only infinitesimally different from full martial law. This measure of safety is to provide for the outbursts which undoubtedly will be provoked by this daring measure. It is now but a die tatorship.
 The texts of the two ukases, both of which are addressed in the stereotyped form to the ruling senate, are as fol- lows:
 ''aocording to paragraph 1O5 of the fundamental law, we order the inn perial parliament dissolved and fix the time for the cOnvocation of the newly elected parliament for March > 1907. Regarding the time for the new cleo tiOns to the imperial parliament, we will later issue special instructions. The ruling senate will not fail to take prop sr measures to place this in effect.
 NICHOLAS"
 "Peterhof July 21."
 The text of the second ukase follows: 'In consideration of a report of the council of ministers presented to us regarding the necessity in the future for the preservation of order and pub lic safety in the city and province of St. Petersburg. we consider it neces- sary to declare. in the above city and province instead Of the state Of rein forced security which now prevails there, a state of extraordinary inse- Cur1ty. The prefect of the city and the governor of the province are intrusted with the rights thereto appertaininrp The ruling senate will not fall to take proper measures to place this in cf- feet. NICHOLAS"
 "Peterhof, July 21"
 With these pithy but nomenJous or ders, which were promulgated at 3 o'clock this morning, Emperor Nicholas by a stroke of the pen set Russia back to where she stood two years ago. in the full grip of the autocracy and an irresponsible government wiplng out for six months. at least. the whole structure of parliament. erected at much cost.
 There is little doubt that the order for the cOnvocation of the new assem- bly, will still further postpone the time unless the new parltament promises to be more amenable than the present one The delay in fixing the time for the new elections seems to indicate a de cision to change the present basis of suffrage to perhaps a basis of universal suffrage. with which the advisers of the emperor hope to swamp the edu- cated liberals. the socialists and work men, with a vast mass Of the peas antry.
 The only uncertainty Is the coming storm-when and where it will break The advocates of the mailed fist he leve that by dissolving parliament and provoking a collision now, they win find the revolutionary leaders not pre- pared for an uprising, as at Moscow whereas further delay would merely give the revolutionists the time needed to organize and to continue the cor ruption of the army.
 There are no precedents Tn Russian history for the execution of an order Qf propagation, but Monday probabl, will find the palace in possession O the military and the surrounding streets held by the emperors guards.
