The old regime of eonservalives has been supplanted by liberals. II. Kcrcnski, the new minister of justice, is a so cialist. He accepted the portfolio on the stipulation that there should he absolute freedom of speech and of the press and full politicul amnesty. The cabinet has been chosen exclu sively from present and past members of the duiiiii. It was unuied by the executive committee of the duma in conjunction with oilier deputies nnd representatives of the working men and the soldiers which held nil ull- nijiht session. ' 1'rol'essor 1'itiil Milnukoff, the new foi'eisiii minister, informed the Asso ciated I'ress that the new reenne was determined on the elimination of Km peror iS'icholus nnd the regency of (Jiand lluke Michael. "We shall not ehanne these de mands," he said. "We shall have this or fall. We can accept nothim; less." The new cabinet contains men who led in the slrue,';le nnuinst the old (.'"Vernment and enjoyed full confi dence of the country. Professor Alilukoff nnd M. Sbin'aroff, the new minister of agriculture have become especially prominent as champions of the rights of the people. It is due to Professor MUukoff ihut the revela tions regnrdine; the political intrigue and corruption of the obi react ionaiy government were brought before the public. While the diimii and the working men's committee agreed upon the cab inet. Ihey still remained somewhat, at odds regarding the form Ihe new gov ernment shnll assume. The woi'king tneu's deputies wished lo leave this question undecided until after the holding of a constitutional assembly which will be charged with revising the present constitution, desiring lo call this assembly without delay. The duma group, fearing dangers to the country in the nbsence of a definite government suggested nbdiclion of Ihe emperor and the regency ol" (be Grand Duke Michael. The temporary agreement was accepted pending; the decision of ihe constitutional assem bly. The following ndditionnl cabinet appointments have been made: .Minister of trade commerce, A. I.
