Held Up for the Present.
NAY BE DICTATORSHIP
The Ministry Delivers an Ulti-
matum to the Gar.
Will Resign Unless It Be Given
a Free Hand.

St Petersburg, July 21.-The acute
crisis which faced the committee
yesterday has passed. on Thursday
night a decision was reached to dis
solve parliament today and a ukase
to this effect was actually prepared.
but yesterday when it became appar-
ent that the constitutional Democrats.
although they had obtained q nominal
victory had virtually suffered a de-
feat and we're anxious to retrieve
their blunder, 1t was decided at Peter
hof not to Issue the ukase, but to
allow matters to drift along for the
present. This morning Interior Min
lister Stoiypin notified the chancery of
parliament that he would appear in
the house and answer interpretations.
The Nasha Shin says that the deci-
sien to postpone the dissolution Of
parliament was preceded by the re-
ceipt of what was practically an ulti-
matum from the Goremykin ministry
which demanded to be allowed to re-
sign or that it be given a free hand.
The prevailing sentiment at Peter
hof con inueS to be that a decisive step
to suppress parliament as a revolu-
tionary body will be necessary in the
near future, but there seems hope that
the open breach between the Left and
the constitutional Democrats with the
loss of prestige suffered by the lat
ter may so complicate the situation as
to render the task of the government
easier.
All chance Of the formation Of
ministry composed of Constitutional
Democrats is seemingly ended, IS it is
plain that the Constitutional Demo-
Gratis no longer control q parliame emit

can not be prolonged and many COM

are rapidly moving toward a dictator

serted that although without direct CO

prisoner in an effort TO settle the case
without the necessity Of a trial.
Still the divergent interests IN the
case are far apart. Thaw, his wi1s and
Mr.. Hartridge, his personal counsel, are
for trial where either justification on
the plea of the "unwritten law or emo
tional insanity is to be the defense. The
district attorney believes the ends OF
justice would be best served by trial.
Mrs. William Thaw and the firm OF

secretary Morley Warns Britain
Against Possible Danger.

London. July 21.-In introducing the
Indian budget in the house of COM
mons today, Indian Secretary Morley
sounded a warning note on the necessi-
ty of excluding India from the field of
party politics. Any false step in India
would send Great Britain in a confus-
ion infinitely mores dire and more de-
structive than the false step taken in
South Africa.
-India's case in the free trade con-
troversy can be put in a nutshell he
declared. Her prosperity and comfort,
the growth of her trade and commerce,
the solvency of India hang upon her
exports The United Kingdom takes 25
per cent of her exports while Europe
and the far east takes 10 per cent. Thus
when the people of Great Britain asked
India for preferential duties they were
asking her to discriminate against
three-fourths of her customers
Mr. Morley considered the time ripe
for an advance in the Improvement of
the system of the government of India.
With this object in view the viceroy
was appointing a commissioner to in
quire how far the extension of the rep
resentative element in the legislative
council could be expediently carried out
