washington, June S.-After being told by Secre-
taries Root and Taft that the United States gov
ernuent could not accede TO their requests TO ap-
point Supervisors Of the coming election in Panama

the alternative plan of having confidential agent

HINT AT APPROPRIATION

St Petersburg, June S-The Associated Press
learns that the Russian government is seriously

granted only in exceptional cases, for example.

Democratic party, however desirous of finding a

gle iota Of the programme drafted at the last
congress of the party
Inc popular expectation that change of min
istry Is imminent WAS fostered by the simulta-
neous departure Of Premier Goremykn, several
leading members of the Council of the Empire
and other trusted advisers of Emperor Nicholas
for q conference at Peterhof this afternoon
though the connection Of this conference with
the tenure of Office of the ministry remains to
be proved.
The Cabinet whole, not summoned
and the results of the conference have not been
announced but ministers with whom The AS
sociated Press correspondent talked tonight
again asserted that they did not expect imme
date developments.
Peter B. Strives paper, the "Duma," to-day

majority, but later. under pressure from Cen

Minister of Finance.
The rejection of the demand OF the workmen-
peasant group for immediate consideration of
the death penalty abolition bill, in defiance of
the ministry. furnished test vote of the gov
ernment's strength in the lower house of parlia-
ment to-day, but it was able to muster only
scanty one-fourth.
The radical leaders had intended to force
other test vote on the project for the immediate
formation of local agrarian commissions.
which would serve thousand little parlia-
ments in organizing and arousing the people, but
defeat plainly foreseen that they ac-
quiesced in shelving the project in committee
though only after venting their feelings in
other passionate debate.
No progress was made to-day in the general
debate on the agrarian question. The radical
tactics are now, apparently, to take advantage
of every opportunity of making campaign
speeches for circulation in the provinces where
full reports Of parliamentary proceedings are
widely spread.

although it might be called fair, is far
from bright. Six varsity men We're

be greatly felt, the loss to tie tine sid
be especially severe. as it will be hard
to find men to fill these positions salts

that some player. who has been relied

Of material can be obtained from the

Freshmen mainly that the varsity will
depend for its new material, and it
will rest in a great measure with them
whether or not the team shall attain
its last years standard.
That the new rules will make a
decided difference in the play. there is
no doubt: but just what effect they
VIII have on football affairs at Maine

according to the rules the defence re-
mains as strong as ever while the Of

Speculative operators wer of two minds
in trying to explain the movement of

the easing of the money rate was less
pronounced than had been hoped for and
gave less promise of pcrmanence owing
to the continued cases of drain upon the
New York money supply. Over 5000
