PKTROUHA1), llarch l.j. 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
