TO FORM NEW CABINET.
M. Rouvier Invited by President Lou
bet Today-Conferences.


PARIS, January 21-President Loubet
this morning sent for NJ Rouvier and in
vited him to form a new cabinet NJ Rou-
vier replied that he would consult with
his friends and make known his determi-
nation at the earliest possible moment
This is expected to lead to the formation
of Rouvier ministry after he has assured
himself that he has sufficient support to
command majority in the chambers
NJ. Rouvjer remained at the Elysee Pal
ace for nearly an hour discussing the sit
uation. NJ. Loubet manifested desire to
terminate the political dissensions which
are serving to keep the country in state
of excitement. The selection of NJ Rou-
vier will therefore be construed as an eff
fort to secure the conciliation of the vari-
Gus elements upon a less aggressive policy
than heretofore.
The president gave significant evidence
of his desire for moderation during the
visit of the parliamentary delegation which
expressed condolences on the recent death
of his mother. M. Loubet said he never
had greater need of comfort and sympa-
thy, and he was glad of the opportunity to
make an appeal to the representatives of
parliament for unity, concord and recon-
Citation which were so necessary today in
the superior interest of the republic and
the country.
During the conference President Loubet
asked NJ. Rouvier to secure the co-opera-
tion of NJ. Sarrien, and afterward M. Rou-
vier had lengthy meeting with NJ Sar-
rien This led to the inference that NJ
Sarrien will enter the cabinet, probably as
minister of justice.
1t is understood that M. Rouvier insists
on the government ratifyng the action of
the council of the Legion of Honor in dis
missing those making secret reports of the
lives of army officers This may arouse
controversy and cause delay.
This afternoon M. ROuyier called at the
foreign Office and conferred with Foreign
Minister Delcasse The latter's retention
at the head of foreign affairs Is considered
certain.

RUSSIAN ARMY AT MUKDEN.
Reported to Have Been Recently Rein
forced-Intense Cold.

TOKYO, January 81. - In well-informed
quarters here 1t is said that the Russian
army at Mukden was recently reinforced by
four divisions Its present strength is esti-
mated at nine army corps, or 100000 men of
all arms General Kuropatkins headquar
ters are II Fong mountain, in close touch
with the Mukden-Fushun line.
The Russians lately have been heavily
strengthening their wings. AT present two
and half divisions are facing General Oku.
two corps are before General NodZu, and
the greater strength of three corps con-
fronts General Kuroki and guards the coal
mines in the vicinity of the Fushun valley.
Between the opposing armies Is network
of trenches. Kurokis outposts are within
500 yards of the Russians intrenched along
the line of ridges near Kwantalien noun
tain. Cannonading and rife firing are con-
stantly taking place, but owing to the in
tense cold there seems to be no immediate
likelihood of a great battle.

PARADING THE STREETS.
Walkout of Workmen Involves Almost
Every City Industry.

The strikers are continuing their agita-
ton with unabated activity. Throughout
the morning they have been parading the
main streets of the center of the city and
closing every industrial establishment
The plan of the authorities is to prevent
the workmen tomorrow from entering the
city proper. The industrial sections beyond
the Narva Moscow and Nevsky gate will
be cut off and all the bridges will be
guarded. Several battalions of artillery
have been brought into the city.
The agitation hitherto has been carried
on with remarkable absence of actual vio-
lence, the committee of the union having
issued instructions that everything be done
as quietly as possible and that no personal
violence be offered the police. Street traffic

Senators in Doubt
Several senators with whom a Star re-
rOrter talked this afternoon concerning the
main outlines of the Hepburn bill expressed
considerab bic doubt as to whether it could be
passed by this session. They said that
there was conflict of opinion among the
railroads as to the advisability of the es-
tablishment of court of commerce. They
said also that the shippers might come to
the conclusion that there was a good deal
of legal machinery and possibilities q en-
tangling litigation in the act and might de-
mand smplification.
Taking it all together some Of the seaa-
tors who are in position to know .he tenn
per of the Senate were inclined 20 the opin-
ion that the Hepburn bill would have to
be thoroughly considered and At some
length before 1t could be said 20 be entirely
acceptable.

for the purpose of indorsing the following
propaganda: Equal political rights for all
