A remnant of the constitutional
democratic deputies, many Of whom,
after having collected arrears of sal,
airy and mileage due them, have
started homeward, are caucusing in

gone, neither the government nor the
revolutionists paying much attention
to the former dominant party in the
lower house of parliament.

Reasons for Dissolution.
St. Petersburg, July 26.--The of

night authorized to issue the follow

From the very first day of its eX
| istence the lower house of parliament
overstepped all limits of law. In its
reply to the speech from the throne
modification of the fundamental
law was demanded in the shape OF
suppression of the council of the en-
pire and the creation of a responsible
cabinet BY is agrarian program
based on appropriation of the land,
the house raised hopes that could not
be realized and weakened respect for
the property of others, already en-
feebled. In speeches of its membe- IS
the house consistently discredited
the government, which it even &C
cused of organizing pogroms and
disorders. BY sending deputation
to Bialystok, it openly aspired to
usurp the executive power.
Fourteen deputies appealed to the
people melting disorders. a step
which called forth no expression OF
| disapprobation from the house. In
the last moment of its existence the
house declared that the government
had acted illegally in explaining to
the population the nature of the agra
rian project proposed by itself, and
decided to address manifesto to the
people persuading them not to believe
in the government regarding the ques-
ton but to await its settlement by
parliament. Several members also
undertook 10 lrneys to the interior of
Russia wit e object of supporting
the agitation, their appearance being
followed by renewed disorders, Pc
groms and strikes
AN these causes necessitated the
decision to dissolve the house"
