MIKADO WILL FORM
NEW CABINET SOON
Ministers TO Succeed Those Who
Resigned Yesterday to Be
Named on Tuesday.

TOKYO, July 4.-The designations of
tie cabinet were rendered at noon to-
day. There is reason to believe that
The Emperor has already instructed
Marquis Katsura to form a new
cabinet; but the announcement viii not
be made officially before July Z, and
possibly may be delayed until the ar
rival Of Prince Ito from Seoul July r.
The next cabinet will likely be largely
composed OF adherents of Marquis
Yamagata, and viii be constructed on
non-partisan lines.
A reliable forecast follows:
Premier Katsura viii combine the
premiership with minister of foreign at
fairs until the arrival of Count Komura
the present japanese ambassador at
London. who is regarded as the like
lest candidate for the foreign office
Another probability as minister Of
foreign affairs is Marquis Inouye, sec
rotary of the home department, and
formerly ambassador at Berlin.
The other portfolios will probably be:
Finance, Baron Hirata; war, Viscount
TerauChi: navy. Baron SaltO- home, n
Hara; communications, NJ. Namagata.
The others are uncertain. A we'll
known authority said that all rumors
that a change in the cabinet means
increasing miitarism are absolutely IN
founded. The new cobinet viii certain
ly follow the lines Of peaceful retrench-
ment.

life's ambitions.
With his wife lowering between life
and death. Mr.. Morris refused TO go 10
Denver and make fight for the honor
OF being temporary chairman Of the

Chicago at the bedside Of Mrs. Morris
at the Mercy Hospital Last night she

Ill. confident that the end was not near,
Mr. Morris has been prominent as an
attorney and political worker in Illinois
for many years. He has friends all over
the State, and when the Illinois politi-
clans. headed by National Committee
man Roger c Sullivan. went TO Denver
to make arrangements for the approach
ing convention they were ready TO make
a fight TO land Mr.. Morris as temporary
man
Suddenly this fight on the part Of iii

Hugh cecil is not proud. He VIII take

The Chicago rooters disliked him so ex-
ceedingly that when they found him
alone on a South Side street one day
they tried to kill him.
They failed. Like a prudenr general
Hugh Cecil retreated. He says he broke
pieces that John d. ROckefeller's Uni

But Hugh Cecil had business elsewhere
The British Cabinet feels just as
strongly concerning Hugh Cecil's meth
