We scraped the money into a sack

and his Attorney General is called to.
the testimony, which is believed to be suf--
ficient for successful criminal prosecution
of former Commissioners of Insurance,
Lopez, Lambert, Durham and their sub
ordinates for having received the actu-
ary's fees. Especially during Durham's.
administration attention is called to the
payment of large sums to dummy en-
ployes. Radical changes in the methods.
of conducting the insurance department
are recommended to the Legislature. 1t
was shown that Durham's man, Erb, had
drawn at least Sl41,OOO in fees and over.

ST. Petersburg: Information has
reached the Associated Press that the
desperate struggle which has been rag
ing In the government between h re-
dictionary and the progressive forces Is
approaching a elimination and must
end within a few days In the ~resiKna-
ton either Of the minister of the inte-
rior, Durnoyo, who is leading the
movement for thoroughgoing repres-
sion, or OF Premier WHITE n several
other members Of the cabinet.
The question at Issue is n with
drawal of the extraordinary powers
conf'ded In governor generals. which
In many cases, 1t is alleged, have been
exercised for the repression not only
OF political disorders. but of the polit-
lcal activity OF the parties. The dis
cussion has reached sue an acute n
passionate stage in the cabinet that no
other issue than the fall of one fac
ton or the other is possible. The
chances OF victory incline to the side
Of Count Witte,I who insists that the
governor generals must be deprived
81 their extreme power within a fort
Night In order to remove the restric-
lions upon a free electoral campaign.
Minister OF Agriculture Kutler, the

excellent authority, has resigned.
Rumor Is busy with other changes
&c follow the first break in the cabi-
net OF Count White. The most persist
emit story Is directed at the premier
himself. who. according to general re-
port, liz credited with having bluntly
informed Emperor Nicholas that he
must choose between him and Minister
OF the Interior Durnovo, who during
his control OF the police machinery
OF the empire has been pushing re-
preston to the extreme and throwing
oil the elements OF society into oppo-
lsition to the government.
The Associated Press was authorized
Friday at Count Whites c~hancellory to
deny positively the report that Count
White had resigned; but the words OF
an ofiicial high in the premier's conf
Idence that he could vouch for the fact
that lat the present moment h re-
pert Is untrue" indicate that there
may be something In tho wind.
