NJ. Souovorin, Editor of the NOyoe
Vremya, Suggests it for
Russian Empire.
MESTCHtRSKY TAKES UP CRY.
Prince Says That A Cabinet Has Be.
come Necessary.-'Reiorms Must
Come From Above -

st. Petersburg, Aug 1.-The sugges-
ton Of NJ. Souvorin. editor OF the Novoe
Nremya, regarding the establishment of
a responsible cabinet, Is creating much
popular comment. Great significance
attaches to the freedom with which the
newspapers are discussing the matter.
The cry has been taken up by the re-
dictionary Prince Mestchersky, editor Of
the Grazhdanin, who argues that a
cabinet has become necessary.
NJ Souvorin this morning returned to
the charge In a signed article pointing
out the evils of the present system, and
saying that the rivalry between the
ministries Is causing chaos In the pub
lie service, each pulling its own way,
secure from criticism under the cloak
of personal irresponsibility.
Continuing, NJ. souvorin says Peter
the Great opened the window toward
Europe, now we need to open the door
and let what is best Of western prog
ress enter"
M souvorin also recalls the words Of
Alexander IL: Reforms must come
from above"
The introduction Of ministerial re-
sponsibility necessarily will involve the
greatest Importance being vested IN the
Office of president Of the ministerial
council, now an empty honor, TO which
M. White was relegated He would then
become the most Influential man under
the emperor. The creation OF a respon-
sble ministry would also necessarily
involve more freedom of the press and
more criticism.

MORE TROUBLE
FOR VENEZUELA.
First Official Action Regarding
Asphalt Company Has Come
To State Department.
CHARGES AGAINST COMPANY.
Are That II Has Failed to Garry
Out Certain Portions Of Its
Concession.

Washington, Aug, 1.-The frat official
action Of the Venezuelan government In
respect to the seizure Of the properties
of the New York and Bermudez AS
phalt company, has come to the state
department in cablegram from Minis
ter Bowen at Caracas. Mr.. Bowen
says that suit was brought by the
Venezuelan government against the as
phait company on the ground that 1t
had failed to carry out certain portions
OF It's concessions, especially those re-
curing II to dig canals dredge chan
nels In the rivers and export other pro-
ducts than asphalt. Because of the
companys failure In these matters, the
Venezuelan court urged the court to
grant an embargo similar to the Amer
lean lnJunction), and to appoint GUS
todian or receiver. The court granted
this application, laid the embargo and
appointed A, ID. Cameras custodian.
He sailed on a Venezuelan warship to
the nearest asphalt lakes before the
notice of suit was served on the de-
PENDANT company.
Minister Bowen explains that while
the statutes of Venezuela authorize en-
barge proceedings such as those In the
case of leases, this would scarcely APP
ply to the New York and Bermudez
asphalt properties, which are held I'M
der concession.
The custodian, Mr. Cameras seized
these properties on the eth, ultimo, and
remains I'm possession. Prof John Bas-
set Moore and John ID. Lindsay of New
York, as attorney representing the
New York and Bermudez company,
called at the state department today
aud had a long conference with Acting
Secy, Loomis and Solicitor Penfield in
regard TO the protection OF the COM
pany's interest against such Arbitrary
proceedings as those that have taken
place. While the asphalt company is
an American corporation, the bonds Of
the company are held to the extent Of
about million dollars in England;
giving the British government the right
to Intervene 20 protect Its citizens in
terests. Mr.. Bowen is sending by mall
a detailed statement OF the events lead
Ing up to the seizure, and ms the state
department is anxious TO secure some
further Information as to the complex
tiles Of Venezuelan law fitting this case,
Il probably win await the mails before
