But Car BalLs at Ultimatum of Demo.
cratic Party.
st. Petersburg, July 16.-The be.
ginning of q new week finds the ten
sion of the cabinet crisis unbroken.
The failure of the efforts to induce
Dimtri Shipof or some other member
Of the Conservative party to attempt
to form q coalition cabinet on the
ground that only ministry organized
from the Constitutional Democrats
would have chance of pacifying the
country, seems to leave the emperor
without recourse except to summon
the Constitutional Democrats to Office
upon their own terms, and the slate
makers are busy selecting the names
of those who probably will compose
the cabinet headed by NJ. Mouromt-
self, president of the lower house, OF
Prof. Milukoff.
Although everything indicates that
. triumph for the Constitutional Dem
ocrats is at hand, the delay is raising
serious misgivings as to the change OF
heart at st. Petersburg on account OF
the infiexible insistenee Of the Consti.
tutional Democrats upon three points,
namely: Recognition of the principle
Of appropriation, general amnesty for
political offenders and no summer re-
cess for the lower house.

ito deck, the heads of the Hill system
.arefully watched the work in prog

lubmia and the boat steamed along
close to the Washington shore to per
NIT Of close observation. The train
came on to Portland over the O. r.
An. and this morning carried the
narty cut to Seattle, and the return
trip will be made over the Great
Northern.
Says Country Looks Well
Everything looks we'll out here,
said Mr.. Hill at the Portland last
night. where he occupied the ''royal
suite"
'The crops seem to be large and ev-
erything has prosperous appearance.
The land here, when the timber il
gone, has the advantage over most
land in country where it is timbered
because when the timber is cut off the
land is good for all sorts of agriculture
and fruit
In speaking of the new road down
the north bank, Mr.. Hill said:
"lt is likely the Portland & Seattle
will be extended to Spokane. We can
not say definitely, but there are sur
veyors in the field and if We can get a
low grade, We will no doubt build.
I'VE could use the Northern Pacific
line from Pasco, but it is expected
that the line will extend from Port
land to Spokane. The Portland &
Seattle railway will be the best new
road that was ever built in the United
States -
When asked whether the new road
from Portland to the Sound would be
operated by electricity, he said he is
not yet sure.
For part of the way at least, II
will probably be electric" said he.
Il brought an electrical engineer along
on this trip to look the situation over.
Mr.. Hutchinson is interested in the
electrical problems in this country.

seems to be an improvement in the
parliamentary crisis in Russia, the
general situation throughout the coun-
try does not grow better. There are
many indications that it is becoming
worse. The many cases Of mutiny,
pillaging Of villages and other out
RACES have placed the troops and the
Cossacks on a helpless defensive, and
finally the adoption by the lower
chamber Of the douma of the funda-
mental provision Of the land 4 law call
ing for the appropriation of all state,
crown, church and monastery lands,
are representative evils.
As Witte predicted, the principal
difficulty il with the peasants in and
out Of the douma. Their land passion.
amounting to fanaticism, threatens to
throw the whole country into anarchy.
Deputations of landowners arrive daily
In St Petersburg seeking armed troops
for their homes. So rampant is this
land mania Of the moujiks that even
the artisans of Moscow and st. Peters
burg are dismayed, and the action of
the workmen of the. capital in protest
Ing against the sweeping demands of
the group Of toll, as tending toward .
fearful economic basis, shows how for
midable Is the Frankenstein they have
helped to create in Russia.
At present events are working de-
structively with greater vigor through
ont the provinces than they are work
ing constructively at the capital It
has become q question of whether the
constitutional element will be able to
restrain the fanatics at large, even if
administrative control is vested in the
douma. To such an exteant is the
peasantry imbued with the belief that
there can. be no absolute right of land
ed property except that Of peasant pro-
prietorship.
MilukoH Hailed a. Savior
Probably the most encouraging fea-
ture of the parliamentary imbroglio is
the rapid advance of Paul Milukoff in
the confidence of the lower chamber.
He has the good will Of all sections as
an individual. His course during the
past two months has impressed the
conservatives in the council of the
empire favorably. Constitutional Dem
ocrats feel that Petrunkevitch is most
deserving Of honor, but he is unable
to undertake the work of the premier
ship owing to his delicate health.
Mouromtsef is invaluable in the chair
of the lower house.
Il is significant that both the gov
eminent and the lower chamber desire
the moral support of foreigners. The
resolution of the parliamentariaas to
send deputation to send a deputa-
ton to the conference Of the inter
parliamentary union in this city July
% is the douma's reply to the act Of
Stolypin, minister Of the interior, in
sending to the diplomatic corps of tho
governments the report of the Bialy-
stock affair.
