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. .

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.

Parents of the Elopers Get the First
Word by Telegraph After
the Event.
PHILADELPHIA, June S4.-(SpeclaD
The romantic elopement of George H.
Stetson, son of the late John T$. Stetson,
and Miss Helen G. Lewis, daughter of the
manager of the Weldener stock farm, and
their subsequent marriage in New York
Friday, is the social sensation of the

ple's action having Just gained publicity.
There 'were no parental objections 'to
the -union, excepting that it was the wish
of both families to have the marriage de
layed until the lovers reached a more ma
ture age. The young couple met Friday
afternoon, went to New York, were wed
and telegraphed' the news home. Mr.
Lewis read the telegram and without a
word handed it to his wife, who was
chatting with a visitor. It read:
"We are married. Expect us when you
see us."
Almost at the jsame time Mrs. Stetson
received a similar message. The latter at
once summoned her carriage and drove
to the Lewis home, wheer a consultation
was held. Yesterday the bride telephoned
to her mother and convinced her of the
marriage and of her happiness.
The bride is pretty and a noted horse
woman, her fearlessness and adept riding
attracting much attention at the horse
shows. The groom is actively engaged In
the affairs of the great Stetson Hat Man
ufacturing Company. Under his father's
will, he has an ample allowance, which
will be increased because of the marriage.

IMPORTED YELLOW FEVER
Single Case Is Reported at Missis
sippi River Quarantine.
NEW ORLEANS, June 24. One case of
yellow fever was reported today at the
Mississippi River quarantine station, 95
miles below New Orleans. This is the
first case of yellow fever reported in
Louisiana this year by the State Board
of -Health. The patient is a Cuban sailor
who arrived at quarantine June 18, on
the steamer Holstein, from Havana. The
Holstein is still detained at quarantine,
having been disinfected. No other cases
of elevated temperature have yet ap
peared on the Holstein.
Dr. C. H. Iron, president of the State
Board of Health, said to the inspecting
party that he does not believe yellow
fever is epidemic in New Orleans or In
Louisiana. The existence of yellow fever
at Rio Janeiro and also of two cases of
bubonic plague at that port were re
ported to the state board by officers of
the steamer Sallust, arriving here today.
The Sallust was disinfected at quaran

TRADE DF UNITED STATES
FOREIGN COMMERCE IS GREAT
EST WITH EUROPE.
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.
