DECISION WAS REACHED TODAY
Revolutionary Committee Advised That
Attempt to Pull Off the Big Uprising
BE Delayed for Time-Emperor
Said to Be Feeling Hopeful Over
The Situation.

st. Petersburg, July 27.-At the JOINT
conference of the Russian revolution
ary committee, held across the Finnish
frontier this morning, it was resolved
not to declare a general strike at
present.
St Petersburg, July 27.-The emper-
or is apparently convinced he took the
right course in suppressing parliament.
A member of the nobility enjoying per-
eonal relations with the sovereign, and
who saw him yesterday, informed the
Associated Press today that the en-
peror displayed exceptionally high
him the emperor seemed under great
mental strain over the situation, but,
with '.parlianent off his hands," and
the government again free to pursue
Its own policy, a great burden appear
% to be lifted from his shoulders. The
original plan of creating an advisory
council, the emperor having broken
down Premier Stolypins purpose, is
to form a reorganized cabinet contains
will be able TO introduce a policy OF
.strong- handed reform" proclaimed by
the government. He has secured ten-
tative acceptances from several proml-
nent moderate retormiSts upon the
condition that no less than half the
portfolios are to be given non-bureau-
Gratis, and that broad, conciliatory
program of REFORM will be proclaimed
In the hope of calming the population.
Some of those with whom Stolypin is
negotiating are insisting that the pro-
gram must include an unequivocal
declaration in favor Of placing Jews
and all other inhabitants on an equal
footing before the law
The decision regarding the proposed
general strike is still in the balance.
Conferences Of leaders are being great
ly hampered by the activity of the po-
lice who all day yesterday and last
night bounded them from place to
place. The hope Of the leaders of be-
ing able TO bring about a genuine
coup de etat, however, is vanishing.
Reports of the support to be expected
from the army are disappointing. Ger
tain faint -heartedness is noticeable
among the leaders produced by fear of
failure in the face of the imposing ar
ray-of governments military forces.
A section of the constitutional
democrats has Withdrawn from all par
ticipation in the conspiracy, not being
ready to sanction open civil war. Half
. dozen government spies were found
dead in the industrial section of st.
Petersburg this morning. Political as
sassinations are increasing in Poland.
Small strikes are reported to have been
declared in many places in provinces,
but the present movement so far as re-
ports are shown is not gathering head
way The Seninovsy guard regiment
has been sent to Cronstadt in view of
the ugly temper Of the sailors there.
Official Rossia, in a rather pathetic
leading article today summons the
people who really desire to see Rus
sia regenerated to abandon their indif-
ferent attitude toward the revolution
and strike hard for the government,
(Which is opening the doors to era
of REFORM declaring No government
has the right to try experiments with
a country" Running parallel win
these liberal promises, Stolypln has rs
sued another circular to the governors
instructing them to keep close watch
on the population, to prevent meetings
tending to lawless acts and giving
them authority to expe1 dangerous
characters, arrest persons belonging
to revolutionary parties and when
found in possession of discriminating
documents to '15xile them to the ut
termost limits of the empire Trans
caucasia has been placed under a state
of exceptional security.
The determining factor in the decis-
ion was the advice of the revolution
airy military committee, which reported
the time was not quite ripe. 1t was
decided to energetically push prepara-
tions and address a manifesto to the
army and navy, peasants, workmen
and people generally.
