No Doubt of Its Having To Do With
 Change Of Ministry.
 St. Petersburg July 4.-(2:40 a. rn.) )- A meeting of the cabinet, called by Premier Goremykin after his return from his visit to Emperor Nicholas at Peterhof began at l0:30 o'clock last night. the ministers having been un- able to assemble during the day. and
 No authoritative announcement for the calling of this extraordinary mid night conference or It's decisions Is ob- tainabie at this moment. but there Is little doubt 1t was connected with the change in the ministry. though indi- vidual ministers declined to admit that explanation.
 Hints dropped by constitutional dem ocratic leaders indicate that overtures for their participation In a ministry at the present stage have to do with a mixed cabinet under the leadership of former Minister of Agriculture Yermaioff.
 This. however, Is regarded as utter ly impossible. their unvarying answer mp to the present time being that nothing but parliamentary and re- sponsible ministry under constitu- tional democratic premier will suffice; but the Associated Press has strong ground to believe the constitutional democrats in spite of their protesta- tions. will participate in ministry under Ivan Shipoff. formerly minister of finance, if the latter can be in duced to accept the premiership.
