ST. PKTKRSBURO, June 10. Despite
the ofllciul denial, belief that the retire
ment of the Goremykin ministry is near
at hand, was reasserted today by the
Reich, the constitutional democratic or
gan, which apparently is looking for
ward to installation of a cabinet more in
harmony with the lower house of parlia
ment. Liberal organs also give credit
to the report that the einpeior'iii' defer
ence to a nentinient in the' lowtr house
has decided to suspend executions pend
ing the enactment of a law for the
abolishment of them, but the rumor finds
answer in the dispatches from Warsaw
where' one man was hanged Saturday for
an attack on a policeman and four con
demned to death for sacking the town
ship treasury, and from Riga where the
court-martial of a band of fighting revo
lutionisto, has condemned seven, o sen
tences of twenty years imprisonment,

disorders "are" 'steadily Iprenfling In wide

SENATE VILL CONSIDER
THE STATEHOOD MEASURE
Conference Report on tie Statehood Bill Wil
Be Taken Up By the Senate This
Week-Sundry Civil Bill in
the House. .... '
WASHINGTON", D. C, June lO.-The
conference report on the statehood bill
will 1 taken up in the senate on Tues
day and much interest is felt on the
subject. Senator Beveridge who is in
charge of the report will probably call
it up, but Foraker has announced that
if the friends of the bill fail to, he will.
lead a fight to prevent an agreement on
the committee's reports. On Monday,
the majority report of the committee on
privileges and elections will be present
ed in the case of Senator Smoot, but
further consideration will be deferred
for a time and the seat will continue
the consideration of appropriation bills.
The Panama sea level bill will also be
discussed during the week as the oppor
tunity offem and it will be the policy
to vote as speedily as possible. It is
not expected the conference report on
the railroad rate bill will reach the sen
ate in time for further discussion this
week.
In the house the sundry civil bill still
has the right of way and if uninterrupt
ed, will be passed Thursday. Efforts to
have the Senate change its motion re
specting the railroad rate bill have fail
ed and this measure : will have to be
considered ia the house before a second
conference can be had. It ia planned to
have this occur today.
"' One of the early actions this week
will be the consideration of the agricul
tural bill with its worrisome meat in
spection attachment The plan is to
get this bill into conference at the earl
iest possible moment. Members of the
agricultural committee have become im
pressed with the necessity for haste in
any action to be taken. The committee
will take up the Beveridge amendment
on Monday and if possible begin in a
report to the house on the same or the
next day. A motion will be made to
disagree with all the senate amendments
and ask for a conference.
