AT ST. PETERSBURG TODAY
Negotiations for the Formation of
Ministry
FORMALLY OPENED WITH THEM
Through Intermediary of Former
Minister of Agriculture Yermo-
loft, Leader of New Center Party.

ST. PETERSBURG, July TO-
The refusal of the constitutional
democrats to participate having
rendered it impossible to form a
coalition ministry, the emperor and
court, in face of the rising spirit of
revolution in the country and the
constantly extending evidence of
disatfectionin the army, seem atlast
ready to turn to the constitutional
democrats as the only means of
paclfying the country, as foreshad
owed in the interview with Gen.
Trepoff.
Negotiations looking to the formation OF
"a ministry composed of constitutional dem
ocrats have been formally opened through
the intermediary of former Minister of Ag-
Ticulture Yermolof, leader of the new CEN
ter party. but the first propositions of the
government failed completely. owing to the
impossibility of the constitutional dem
ocrats accepting the three conditions i'm
posed namely, the abandonment of the
principle of the forced appropriation of
land. full amnesty for political prisoners
and 10 agree to a summer recess of parlia-
ment
To have accepted such conditions, the
constitutional democrats declare, would
have made them guilty of treason, entirely
destroyed their prestige in the country and
have only angered instead of tranquilizing
the people. The constitutional democrats
intend 10 stand by their guns, and believe
the government must shortly accept their
terms. The Rech the organ of the consti-
tutional democrats, thinks that victory is
not far distant, and says:
No Sham Surrender.
There must be no sham surrender The
substitution of real for imaginary con-
stitutonal regime remains the only hope of
successfully fighting the extreme elements.

population cannot be downed until the
future is guaranteed"

speelal 70 The journal.

Mariana, Nov. 19.-The Christmas
murder case which has Greater such
widespread public interest was called
for trial Monday morning before Judge
Carter at Mariana.
The defendant, VIM. d. Christmas,

nails of west Florida, is represented

w. B. Farley, of Mariana, and Espy
and Farmer, of Dothan, Ala.

fed that he heard of the murder and
driving to the Christmas house, en-
tered and found the bodies of Mr.. and
Mrs. Christmas and little boy, that
Mr. Christmas had probably been dead

blow on the head from some blunt
instrument; that blood was splashed
all over the floor and walls, and also
on the window.

mitted and asked the witness to point
out to the jury location of the various
articles of furniture in the room, after

Arrived Yesterday Morning
to Investigate Condi-
tons Here.
AND WENT DIRECT TO THE NAVY
YARD, WHERE THE CUSTOMARY
SALUTE OF THIRTEEN GUNS
WERE FIRED - ADMIRAL is
BROTHER-lN-LAW OF PRESI-
DENT ROOSEVELT.

Rear Admiral William S. Cowles,
chief of the bureau of equipment, ar
rived in Pensacola early yesterday
morning, coming erect from Wash
ington, and without stopping in the
city proceeded to Palafox wharf,
where he boarded one of the naval
tug boats and went to the navy yard.
His arrival there was announced by
the firing of the customary salute of
thirteen guns, the salute of a rear ad-
miral.
The visit of Admiral Cowles at lis
time is for the purpose of making an
inspection of the yard so as to fully
acquaint himself with it's needs so far
as his department is concerned. He
spent yesterday and last night as the
guest of Capt. Bicknell, and will prob
ably depart during to-day on the re-
turn trip.
The storm of September damaged
the yard to a greater extent than any
other government property and
large amounts of money will be neces.
sary to equip the beached vessels Of,
ter they have been fioated. This has
not yet been accomplished in the case
of any of the vessels, with the excep.
ton of coal barge and the Spanish
floating dock, but it is anticipated that
within short time some of the gun
boats will be launched and be ready
for repairs and overhauling. To put
these vessels, in seaworthy condition
again is going to require large ex
penditure of money, and Admiral Cow
les desired TO acquaint himself with
conditions so far as his department is
connected with the yard and vessels.
Admiral Cowles, who is brother-in
law of President Roosevelt, has many
friends in this city. He visited here
three years ago as captain of the
battleship Missouri. and was in com
mand of that vessel when the explo
sion occurred in one of the turrets at
target practice, which caused the loss
of so many lives This is the first
time he has visited Pensacola since
that awful catastrophe.

Passenger Agent Lurton Re-

Effect From Louis
vile.
THE RESULT OF PROTESTS FROM
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND
UNITED COMMERCIAL TRAVEL
ERS-WAS TO HAVE BEEN DIS
CONTINUED ON 25TH.

AS a result of the united protests
of the Chamber of Commerce and the
United Commercial Travellers, the or
der issued by the Louisville and Nash
vile and the Seaboard Air Line to dis
continue the Pensacola and Jackson
vile accommodation train, has been
revoked. This information was re-
ceived yesterday by Division Freight
and Passenger Agent Lurton. and the
train, which was to have made its last
trip out of Pensacola on the afternoon
of the 18th, will be continued for an
indefinite time.
This news will be received with
much pleasure by hundreds, not only
in Pensacola, but all along the line of
the p & A., for the train leaving here
each afternoon and returning the fol
lowing forenoon is a source of great
convenience to those travelling over
that division, and especially the
commercial men. 1t also allows the
wholesale houses of the city to get
out shipments of goods by freight al
an early hour after receiving an order
as the train IS a mixed one, and car
ries out each day a large amount OF
freight consigned to towns along the
division.
To discontinue the service meant g
heavy blow to Pensacola and early
last week, when the Chamber of Com
MERGE learned of the intention of the
Louisville & Nashville, L, took prOmp
steps to enter a protest, which wa:
forwarded by the local officials to the
head officers at Louisville. Saturday
night the United. Commercial Travel
ers entered a similar protest, and yes
terday the announcement was made
that there would be no change.
