3 THE MORNIXG OKEGONIAN, MONDAY, JUNE 25, 1906. CHORUS AGAINST CABINET SWELLS Three Parties in Russian Par liament Add Voices to the Volume of Protest. SITUATION IS IMPOSSIBLE Ex-Minister Yermollofr, a Wily Pol itician, Says the Government Must Yield, as Any Other Action Would Be Futile, ST. PETERSBURG, June 31. The Con servative Centrist party in the Council of the Empire, organized recently with f3e purpose of attempting to supplant the Goremykln Ministry by a Cabinet chosen from the Octoberlsts, the Democratic Re form and the Constitutional Democratic parties, have Joined in the chorus de manding the resignation of the Cabinet. M. Yermoloff, ex-Minister of Agricul ture, gave out an Interview today, saying the present situation Is impossible, and that it is evident that if the actual Min istry can do nothing for the pacification of the country it should be replaced by a Cabinet in which the more moderate ele ments of Parliament are given places. The situation, M. Yermoloff added, is so tense that any attempt of the administra tion to array Itself in open opposition to Parliament can result only In calamity and disaster. Soft Words for Parliament. . M. Yermoloff, who is a shrewd politic ian, has now nothing but honeyed words for Parliament, whiuh, though containing revolutionary elements, he says. Is the true reflection of the sentiment of the country, and evidently he is laying wires and working for action between the ma jorities of the two houses of Parliament, under a responsible Ministry. He is thought to have his eye on his old port folio In such a Cabinet. Though M. Yermoloff and his party, in the programme published today, adhere to nominal opposition to the general prin ciple of expropriation, they concede the necessity of satisfying the land-hunger of the peasantry and adopt) the idea for the creation of local commissions for the solu tion of the problem In accordance with local needs, thereby Indorsing the prin ciple on which all factions in the lower house the Constitutional Democrats, the Group of Toll, the Poles and the Conserv ativesare tending to concentrate. Resolutions for the Jews. "With regard to the Jews, M. Yermoloff believes the Semite question can be settled by the abolishment of the pale and the granting of equal rights to Jews; but he favors certain restrictions in the purchase of land by Jews, holding that It is neces- sary to regard the sentiment of the Rus sian masses, which will be alarmed unless this Is done. M. Yermoloff laughed at reports of the dispersal of Parliament, which he says will not only be fatuous, but faltal to the court factions. He expressed confidence that the government would soon be striv ing to effect an understanding with Par liament.' Should the sentiment of the Centrist party be formally accepted by the Council of the Empire it would be Impossible for Emperor Nicholas to disre gard ft. Goremykln Wants to Quit. There are indications that Premier Gor emykln is wearying of his position, but the retirement of the Cabinet Is appar ently not a matter of the immediate future. The reports of the Parliamentary Com mission and Minister of the Interior Stolypln's representatives, M. Frlsch, on the conditions at Bialystok have borne prompt fruit. General Bader, who as governor-general and commandant of the troops, was accused of laxity in restoring order, has been supplanted by General Bogaieffsky, the resignation of Governor Kister, of Grodno, has been accepted and the slated promotion of Perfect Shere matieff Is said to have been abandoned. MYSTERIOUS SOUND OF GUNS. Garrison: at Moscow Believed to Have Been In Revolt. MOSCOW, ine 25, 9:6 P. M. (Special.) According to reports In circulation In this city there has been a fierce fight be tween mutinous troops and loyals on the outside of the town, in which the au thorities' were compelled to use artillery to put down the rebellion. Up to the present time It has been Impossible to .confirm the report, as all persons are forbidden to approach the fortresses and the authrlties absolutely decline to dis cuss the matter. ' The report originates from the fact that about S o'clock this evening rifle firing by volleys was heard, which increased in violence as the moments went by, and was soon added to by the loud noise of field guns In action. It has been ru mored for several days that the garrison of the city was on the point of mutiny and a report was in circulation that a mass meeting of soldiers was to be held this afternoon. Hence the rifle and ar tillery firing Is believed to indicate that the mutineers met and the authorities were Interfering. . to LAYS THE BLAMfc TJPOX WITTE. Russian Cabinet Minister Says Par liament Must Be Dissolved. LONDON, June 25. The Dally Tele graph this morning publishes an article written by a member of the Russian Cab inet, in which it is contended that it was the government's indecision and inaction in the Autumn of 1904, when it would have been easy to win over the loyal Zems-tvo party to co-operate with the government in its work of reform, that Bowed the seede of the present trouble. The delay consequent on this inaction, he says, led to the formation of an al liance of the reform party and a group of terrorists and anarchists, a fatal step which "I am convinced will strike the Russian emancipation movement barren for many long years to come and be fraught with unending calamities to the nation." The Minister proceeds to refer to the great hopes raised by Count Witte's call to power, and the subsequent disappoint ment at his failure because of his vacil lation and inconsistency. He complains that Wltte. Instead of declaring ruthless war against the revolutionary terrorist party, actually contributed toward ty ing the Gordlan knot between the modern opposition party and the terrorists tighter than it was before. Witte's policy, in fact, the writer con tinues, led to the election of a parlia ment of a revolutionary character, rep resentative not of the Russian people, but of the stump political lawyer of the pop ulation, and hence its dissolution is mere ly a question of time. Dissolution is in dispensable, not because the provocative parliamentary debates tend to revolution ize the country, but because the present opposition of the chamber is discrediting of the people. In conclusion, the Minister argues that a return to bureaucratic absolutism 13 impossible. The tremendous difficulty of the present moment lies In the full recog nition of the absolute necessity to renew tbe womout framework of the govern ment by means of real national represen tation and by enlisting the co-operation of men of the soil, even if they are chosen from the present parliament, the sole condition being that they shall be opposed to unnatural alliances with the revolution ists, who must be fought perseveringly and pitilessly. . Massacre of Jews Planned. ODESSA, June 25. It is reported that the police are clandestinely arming the worst edements of the city populace a nd advocating the massacre of Jews, which it is now reported is fixed for the mid night of Wednesday. The authorities of the city have been appealed to by the leaders of the Jews, but they have re fused to curb the hooligans. It is under stood that the Modllnskl and Lublinski regiments have refused to do police duty in the event of street rioting. The transport Nijnl Novgorod, bound from this city to Sebastopol, which sailed Saturday morning, returned here late last night. The crew mutinied and refused to go further and the commander was compelled to put the vessel back to port. Wltte Holds Ministry Responsible. LONDON, June 25. The Times St. Petersburg correspondent says Count Witte has telegraphed Emperor Nicholas that the Bialystok disaster, for which he holds the Ministry responsible, has com pletely neutralized his efforts to concili ate foreign opinion. Policemen Killed by Terrorists. WARSAW. June 23. In the suburb of Wola this afternoon a band of terrorists killed two policemen and wounded an other policemen, who were sitting dining In a restaurant. An hour later the same band shot and killed a police sergeant. Officials Shot In Streets. ST, PETERSBURG, June 24. Two high police officials and a policeman were shot dead In the streets of Plotrokow, Russian Poland, today. : BOUND UP WITH FULTON SMITH OF MARION KEEPS HIS OWN COUNSEL. Not Ready to Say Yet Whether He Will Vote for People's Choice for United States Senator. SALEM. Or., June 24. (Special.) T. B. Kay and Dr. J. N. Smith, elected to the State Senate from Marion County In the recent election, are noncommittal on the question whether they will support the people's choice for United States when the Legislature meets next Winter. When this question was put to Dr. Smith im mediately after the election he replied that he did not wish to state his position until the returns were all in. When seen after the returns had been completed he said that he is not yet ready to say whether he will support the man In dorsed by the people or not. He says he made no pledges during the campaign and will make none now. He remarked, how ever, that he did not see much of an out look for a member of the Legislature to do anytnine else than support Mr. Bourne. Mr. Kay says that he thinks a man who took the pledge during the campaign is under obligations to vote for Mr. Bourne for Senator, and can do nothing else, but since he made no pledge he feels at liberty to vote for whomever he wishes when the time comes. He does not know now what he will do. In his primary petition Mr. Kay said that he "intends to vote for the people's choice for United States Senator," but he did not pledge himself to do so. In political circles it is generally said that the course Dr. Smith will pursue will probably be governed largely by the interests of Senator Fulton in 1008 and 1909. Smith is primarily an admirer and supporter of Fulton. Fulton will come up for re-election in 1909 and presumably will have to make the race before the people in the general election In 1908. If Fulton gets the popular indorsement In 190S he will want the Legislature to abide by the popular vote, hence it would not be to his interests to have a bad precedent established now, say the poli ticians, and they expect Smith to vote accordingly. But things may shape up differently before January comes around, and Fulton's interests may be adverse to the people's choice scheme of electing Senators. It may seem better to him to take his chances with the Legislature without first seeking a popular Indorse ment, and in that case his friends In this Legislature would line up on the anti people's choice side. While Kay was a supporter of Fulton In the Legislature of 1903, and is friendly with him now, it Is generally thought that he Is not bound up with Fulton so strongly that he will let Fulton's Interests affect his vote In the Legislature of 1907. WHAT SOLDIERS NEED. Provide Recreation for the Men in the Philippines. (From a letter by the Rt. Rev. Charles H. Brent, Bishop of the Philippine Isl ands, to the Spirit of Missions.) I visited Camp Stotsenburg and Cavlte prior to my coming south. I am Im pressed in going about the army posts, especially those which are more or less permanent, with the fact that the atten tion given to the amusements of the sol diers is inadequate. In almost every in stance the officers do their utmost to pro vide recreation for their men, but the funds at their disposal are insufficient. It appears to me that the War Department ought to be especially generous in Its ex penditures for such an object in the Phil ippine Islands. Men who are compelled by the Government to live in enforced celibacy and amid surroundings which produce temptations of extraordinary power, ought to have extraordinary safe guards thrown about them by their coun try. While I do not believe that environment is a god, yet my experience teaches me that when you have to deal with boys or with characters that are underdeveloped and have no inner resources, wholesome recreation is a tremendous moral force. Although our project of the Columbia Club was originally based on observation and general principles, its effect on the young civilians of the community has been such as to convince me more than ever of the need of the War Department affording soldiers every facility for ra tional amusement.

Enlargement of Business With Asia Is at Expense of Trade With the Continent. WASHINGTON, June 24. An analysis of the foreign commerce of the United States, contained in a bulletin issued by the Department of Commerce and Labor, says that in the fiscal year 1906, 48 per cent of the Imports Into the United States was drawn from Europe, 20 per cent from North America, 13 per cent from South America, 14 per cent from Asia. Of the exports from the United States in the same year, 67 per cent went to Europe, 17 per cent to North America, 4 per cent to South America, 8 per cent to Asia, 2 per cent to Oceanlca and 1 per cent to Africa. A comparison with the figures for ear lier years shows a gradual decline In the share of our Imports supplied ty Europe and in the share Europe takes of our exports. This Is due largely to the en largement of our trade with the Orient. Imports from Europe have grown from !84,000,000 In 1895 to 541,000,000 in 1905; from North America, from J134,000,000 in 1895 to $227,000,000 in 1905; from South America, from ni2.0000.000. to I161.000.000. but the bul letin adds that in 1906 they will fall about 114,000,0000 below those of 1905, chiefly on account of a reduction in the quantity of coffee and India rubber imported. From Asia the imports have grown from $78, 000,000 to 1163,000.000 In 1905. Exports to Europe have grown from 628,000,000 in 1895 to 1.021.000,000 in 1905; to North America, from 08,500.000 to 260, 500,000; to South America, from 33,000,000 to 57.000.000, and to Asia from $17,330,000 to $128,500,000. The sections in which the exports of the United States make the least progress are within the tropics. La Grande License Is $1000. LA GRANDE, Or., June 24. (Special.)

MEXICO CITY, June 24. At Huitman, State of Queretaro, a parish priest named Garcia Is charged with having called the Indians In his town together by ringing the church bells. When a large crowd had assembled they marched to a "shop kept by the Rodriguez family, of well known Liberal opinion. The shop was looted and the mob then marched to the house of the Prefect of the village, who was stoned. Governor Coslo, of Queretaro, sent 200 rurales to the scene of the riot. When the people of the town learned of the approach of the troops they assembled in the church and the troops upon arriv ing entered and arrested the congrega tion. The priest, who offered resistance, was taken from the altar. Judge Luis Isla heard the case and discharged the priest, and It Is said act ed in an Illegal manner, not taking the deposition of the clergyman as required by law.
