 From Moscow it is reported that refugees have begun returning to iPetrograd. Doubtful elements in the provinces, who certainly would have backed Gen. Korni1of had he succeed ed in his revolt, are passing resolu- tiens in support of the Provisional government.
 The new cabinet is rapidly pro- gressing toward completion, trough friction again aaaa arisen between the constitutional democrats and the socialists. The constitutionai demo- crats at a meeting last night announc- ed to Premier Kerensky that the gov ernment must take lesson from Gen. Kornilofrs revolt by removing the takes that caused it. Otherwise, they
 
 would be repeated by some one else.
 The revolt, declared the constitu- tionai democrats, undoubtedly was the fruit of extreme dissatisfaction existing in the more conservative classes.
 Foreign Minister Terestchenko. ac- cording to an announcement by the Russian official news agency, will re- main in the recognized cabinet, sue ceeding M. Nekrasoff as minister of finance.
 The permier has commissioned M Kishkin to negotiate with the Moscow industrial circles for their support ot the government and, if possible, the enry of business men to the cabinet If this plan succeeds the cabinet un. doubtedIy will be much strengthened and the bad results of the revolt may speedily be 9remedied.
