DECISIVE CONFERENCE TODAY

| The Associated Press was in
formed from high source in St.
Petersburg late this afternoon that
Premier Stolypin considers the
reorganization of the cabinet to be
an accomplished fact. The nego-
tiations are terminated and the
premier entertains no doubt of the
acquiescence of the emperor with
the conditions TO which he has
agreed, and an official announce
ment of the reorganization of the
ministry may be made tonight or
| tomorrow.
ST. PETERSBURG. July Silt is UNDER
stood that the question of the reorganiza-
ton Of the cabinet is likely to be decided
| at a conference between the emperor and
Premier Stolypin today. The premier has
already started for Peterhof with the re.
suit of his negotiations upon the subject.
A number of former octoberIsts who de-
clined to sign the viborg manifesto have
now constituted themselves into a party
| for the peaceful reconstruction of the min
| istry. Premier Stolypn agreed tentatively
to certain conditions which~they proposed.
and thereupon number of the Octoborist
! liberals offered to accept Office in the cabi-
| net.
| The Novoe vremya says this involved the
| retirement OF M. Chtchglovivoff. the minis
/ ter af ityGff QoH o1,o oh
of the empire. and M. Kaufman minister
of education and the entrance of Count
| Heyden as controller OF the empire, Alexan-
der Guichkoff. as chief of the department
of trade and industry Nicholas Lvoff OF
Saratov. as minister of agriculture: Paul
yinogradoff minister of education, and
| Anatole Koni. minister of justice.
The program contemplates the putting of
the liberal reforms into immediate exc
cution with the design of pacifying the peo-
pie of the country and preparing the way
for next years douma. II involves an
agrarian program looking to the expropria-
ton of land in extreme cases for the pur-
| pose Of correcting inequalities where the
| peasant lands have been divided and sep
| arated into private holdings, but maintain
ing the principle OF the integrity Of private
| property and the gradual abolition of ex-
ceptional laws. 1t provides for the aboli-
ton OF the death penalty. except in the
army and navy and in places where martial
law supersedes the civil administration with
| military authority
Premier Stolypin has given his first illus
tration of the modified mode of the govern
| ment in dealing with the members who
have arrayed themselves against him.
week ago he directed the commencem ment OF
| legal proceedings against those who had
Sie 1ad he arifa LATE h<.
announced that the government intended TO
| entirely ignore the action of the members
of parliament at Viborg and now he turns
again and announces that proceedings will
| be initiated, although he doubtless has no
| intention of forcing a trial
| He will probably hold the prosecution OF
| these cases over the heads of the accused
| to prevent them from becoming candidates
| for reelection to the douma.
