CABINET STANDS BY MINISTER

ST. PETERSBURG, May 6.-The cam
paign against Premier Stolypin which re-
dictionaries and courtiers close to Emperor
Nicholas have been waging for the past
two years, and which broke out with es-
pecial vigor during the absence of the
premier, has been brought to a head by
NJ Stolypin himself, who has demanded
that the czar either disassociate himself
from these schemes or accept the resigna-
tion of the entire cabinet.
The decision centers on the bill creating
general staff for the navy, sanction of
which NJ. Stolypin has demanded as an
ultimatum. The bill itself is considered
of minor Importance, and the constitu-
tional question raised over its submission
to parliament is based upon an obscure
phase in the fundamental laws of the en-
pire.
Question at Issue.
The real question at issue Is whether
the opponents of NJ. Stolypin are to be
permitted to continue to sap the authority
Of the cabinet and weaken its prestige by
continually raising similar points.
AS the position of NJ Stolypin is too
strong for open attack, his opponents
hitherto have refrained from forcing a
decisive combat on the various issues. On
the eve of the premier's return to the
capital they decided to abandon the open
fight.
NJ. Stolypin. however, believed that the
time had come for q showdown. He was
supported by the entire cabinet.
Cabinet With Stolypin.
When the constitutional aspect of the
staff bill was first raised several mem
bers of the cabinet differed on this ques-
ton with Premier Stolypin and the ma
jority. But on the principal point at
issue all decided to stand or fall with the
premier.
.nder the peculiar view of ministerial
responsibility prevailing in Russia an adj
verse decision on the part of the emperor
by no means entails the retirement of the
cabinet. The cZar may reject their de-
cision and insist on their retaining office.
Numerous precedents for this exist. NJ
Stolypin himself on several occasions has
said he was obliged to bow to the wishes
and accept the policy of the throne.
