The CABINET CRISIS

ST. Petersburg, May 11.--A solu-
ton of cabinet crisis, whereby Pre-
mier Stoypin and his co;eagucs in
the cabinet will retain their post, VIZ
arranged at conference between the
premier and the emperor, which con
tiuued until ] O'Clock his morIing
(Tuesday). Stnlyp,n returned TO st,
Petersburg from Tsalskoe Selo an
hour later, bringing the text of the
imperial rescript, expressing the cen.
fidence of the monarch IN the minis
ters, and his gratitude for their ser
vices, and explained the motives lead
ing to the rejection of the naval staff
bill. The rescript will be published
in the official gazette today.
The crisis was solved in a manner
peculiarly Russian. The emperor re
fuse ed to sign the bill providing for a
naval staff, because he considered f.
an invasion of prerogativcs and he
decliacd also to accept the resigua-
tions of the cabinet ordering the min
isters remain at their posts. The lat
ter after reiterating their represen-
tations OF the impossiblity Of render
ing useful services under these condi-
tions, decided that their duty, accord
ing to Russian precedents was to
continue in their present offices.
The rejection of the staff bill was
announced in the customary way by
the secretary of empire at a session
of the counsel of the empire last
evening. Under the new conditions.
the ministry cannot be considered
stable, it being pointed out that the
prerogatiye of the drma is merely
to vote money and dissolution is
expected at no distant date.
Failing to secure the acceEylnco of
his resignation, Stolypin, 1t is under
stoop, presented a request to the en-
peror for an extension OF his vacation
from which he only recently returned
ostensibly because he had not fully
recovered from his illness, but actual
Iy to escape the embarrassment OF
facing the duma.

Another matter to be inquired into
is the making of affidavits for voters,
1t is suspected that here has been
more or less recklessness by some
people in swearing in men who were
challenged at the polls, and a false af,
fidavit in such case is just as seIl-
GUS as perjury under any other cir

so construed hitherto by some of the
active workers at elections. The mum.
ber of such affidavits was very much
less at the recent election than at
former elections. They ranged from
none at all in the Sixth ward to less
than fifty in the others, whereas they
were IN in the hundreds in some of

Washington, May 10--There Is trr-
mcil in the war department and
abundant promise OF reproduction
in that branch Of the military es alb
lishmcnt Of the decentralization which
prevails in the navy department, The
bureaus chiefs maintain that the gen

attributed to the general staff which

1t sought to reduce tne number Of
junior officers attached TO that body;
that its facilities for sdoing much

Members of the general staff viewed
This step with alarm. Nothing came

was ruled out of the bill on a point
of order, and not restored by the sen

1t was then expected that curb

the general staff, instead of which It
has gone on doing various things
which the bureau chiefs, who are
heads Of special staff corps, regard

One OF the usurpations is the tax.
ing over by the general stalf of the
estimates for equipmen; ana supplies.
which were formerly handled by the
bureau chiefs.
The general staff Is working on a
comprehensive scheme which con
templates a reorganization as well rs
an increase of the army and makes
some radical changes, which the bu.
reau chiefs and representatives of
the line do not regari as necessary.
1t has been decided by the general
staff that the army in time of peace
should comprise an enlisted force Of
135,000 men, an increase of over So
600. This provision IS no; likely to
be received with favor by congress.
Another feature like.y TO arouse
CONSIDERABLE opposition is the consoli-
dation of the quartermaster's depart
mont, subsistence depar'men, and the
pay department into a general supply
branch, the head of which shall be a

Other Sans of Trouble.
This is an old plan which has been
suggested to congress on other oc-
casions. and has met with opposition
generally on the ground that it simply
adds another wheel to the machinery

There are other subjects which
have been taken up by the general
staff, to the manifest dlsapprOval Of
the bureau chiefs, and there are signs
of trouble which it VIII require firm
action on the part of the secretary of
war to adjust without creating in the
war department the nuDDub which
has been raised in the navy depart
ment over bureau consolidation and
