Minister of Agriculture, but
Premier Says He Will Not
Sacrifice Him.
PETROGRAD, July 29. Negotiations
for the reconstruction of the, Cabinet
are delayed owing to the conditions
raised by the non-Soclallst parties and
also by the departure of Premier and
War Minister Kerensky for the front.
The Premier has decided that the
new Cabinet will be comprised of IB
or 16 members, all equal in power. The
Constitutional Democrats. M. Astroff
and M. Kishkln, both ministerial candi
dates, have banded to the Premier a
statement of the conditions upon which
they collaborate. Chief among these
are war by the side of the allies until
victory is gained, a definite home
policy In the struggle against anarchy
and postponement of social reforms
until the constituent assembly is con
vened. The Constitutional Democrats are
resolutely opposed to the Minister of
Agriculture, M. Tchernoff; they also
appear to be against the Foreign Min
ister, M. Terestchenko. But the Premier
says that he will refuse to sacrifice
either of these officials.
FCXERAL RESEMBLES PAGEANT
10,000 Cossacks March In Glitter
ing Array at Brothers' Burial.
PETROGRAD. July 28. (Delayed.)
Ten thousand Cossacks and represen
tatives of the Petrograd military gar
rison today marched in a brilliant and
colorful procession to bury eight Cos
sack victims of the Bolshevlkl uprising
of ten days ago. Glittering with the
purple and gold of the high priests'
robes and radiant with the bright
multi-colored uniforms of various
military organizations, including the
violet red of a Hussar regiment, lack
ing all conventional solemnity, the fu
neral cortege was decidedly more like
a pageant of the patriotic and loyal
forces of the city.
A short distance behind the last
hearse, attired In a suit of ordinary
khaki and - bareheaded, walked the
great national figure of the day
Kerensky. He was virtually without
guard and thousands of citizens eager
to see the face of the national hero
pressed in upon this part of the pro
cession and at times threatened to
halt or break up the parade.
recent proceedings in the British
House of Commons, says:
"Mr. Asquith's inquiry as to whether
we were ready to restore Belgium's
full freedom can only be meant as a
rhetorical question, for Mr. Asquith
must know that, aside from a handful
of dreamers, nobody thinks of hand
ing Belgium again to England and
France."
The Catholic organ, the Cologne
Volks Zeitung. attempts to prove that
the retention of Belgium and the an
nexation of regions in the east are in
dispensable to that protection of the
German frontiers which Chancellor
Michaells specified.
The Tages Zeitung adopts this con
tention enthusiastically. Some of the
radical newspapers, on the other hand,
seek to give the impression that the
government is so bound by the Reichs
tag resolution that the entente allies
have only to propose peace without an
nexation or indemnities to obtain it.

contractors than can be obtained In
Oregon. Will this rate be available to
all authorized companies here, and will
nsurance be placed through their resi
dent agents In this state? Before cir
cularizing the companies for informa
tion I desire advices from you.

Recommendation to Supreme Court
Based on Purported Expose of Ox
man's Alleged Perjury Attempt.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 30. A new
trial for Thomas J. Mooney was recom
mended by Attorney-General Webb to
day in a document filed in the State
Supreme Court, where Mooney's appeal
from sentence of death for murder is
pending.
Mooney was convicted February 9 of
murder growing out of the bomb ex
plosion here last July, which killed 10
persons, and was sentenced to death a
few days later.
The Attorney-General's action con
senting to a retrial was based on the
expose of Frank C. Oxman's alleged
attempts to suborn perjury in connec
tion with Mooney's trial. Oxman, a
star witness against the defendant. Is
now under arrest and awaiting trial.
After publication of letters from
Oxman to F. E. Kigali, of Graysville,
111., In which Oxman asked the latter
to appear as a witness against Mooney,
the Superior Judge who presided at
Mooney's trial asked Attorney-General
Webb to "confess error In the interests
of Justice."
AUSTRIA LACKS IN FAITH
Vice-Admiral Does Not Expect Vic
tory Through Submarines.
AMSTERDAM, July 30. Vlce-Admlral
Maximilian NJegovan, commander of
the Austrian fleet, in an interview
given to the Neue Freie Presse, de
clared he did not believe submarines
would bring about a decision In the
war. He said:
".At present the U-boats are much
spoken of as making England, Austria's
principal - enemy, uncomfortable, but
they merely are a means toward vic
tory. It would be a mistake to believe
from the experiences of this war that
big ships are useless, but for us the
essential type is that of light cruisers.
"If -we had a. great fleet, the war
with Italy would have been finished
long ago. Indeed, the war would never
have been possible."

SHIPS REAL WAR CRUX
"OBSERVER" CONTENDS RESULT
RESTS ON TONNAGE.
Outcome Depends I'poa Ability to Fur
nish America With All Vessel
Requirements Ho Sayn.
LONDON, July 29. The Observer, In
an article arguing that the Western
allies even without Russia are more
powerful than the central powers, says:
The real crux of the whole war is
to provide ships for American require
ments. We refuse for a single moment
to believe that the United States will
fail to rise to the crisis. The cause
needs every single tone of maritime
carrying power that the United States
can muster or launch later.
"No possible shipbuilding effort In
this country alone can provide the huge
additional tonnage demanded by com
ing American requirements. To get
fairly ahead of the submarines, the
United States must launch at least the
same amount of tonnage as that men
tloned by Lloyd-George In Paris, as
Great Britain s output for next year,
namely, 4,000,000 tons, and that within
the same time.
