A PACIFIC PORT, Aug. 4
The members of the Root mission
to Russia, which arrived here at
10 o'clock last night. arose this
morning for an early breakfast
and at once agreed to pose for the
moving picture men before leav-
ing at $3.50 for an automobile
tour of the city and bouleyarGs.
The commission arrived last
night and slept aboard the vessel
which brought them here.
Beyond the fact that the "voy-
age was delightful" Root, who
acted as spokesman for the party,
would say but little when inter-
viewed on his arrival. He de-
clined to discuss the results, or
any of the details of the commits
sions trip until after u report
had been made at Washington.
The party was carried across
Russia on the special train never
before used, except by tie impe-
rial family. The commission left
Vladivostok 10 days ago.
Learns of Sons Death.
Rear Admiral James H. Glen
non, a member of the commits
sion, received the first word here
last night of the death OF his son.
The city gave the commission
a public welcome. Among the
speakers at public reception will
be the governor and the mayor.
During the voyage across the
Pacific sharp lookout was
maintained for enemy submarines.
The transport mounts four five
inch guns with a secondary bat
terry of three-pounders.
Soldiers on Guard.
Maj. Stanley Washburn, one
time reporter on Minneapolis
newspaper and for the first two
years of the war a correspondent
for the London Times on the
French and Russian fronts, is a
member of the party. When in

burn caught himself several times
on the verge of expressing opin-
ions concerning the trip.

not reporter" he said.
During its stay in the city the
commission was watched by sew
eral score police and a number
of secret service operatives.
The dock where the transport
is tied up is guarded by soldiers
and a special detail of police.

RUSSIA'S
CABINET
IS UPSET
tUnited Press Leased wire.,

LONDON, Aug. Russia was
once again reforming her cabinet
today for the fourth time since
democracy overthrow absolutism.
Petrograd dispatches today en-
phasized that .the resignation OF
all the ministers and the later
withdrawal of those designations
of all but two of the Kerensky
cabinet members, was not due to
lack of support from the populace.
They we're impelled first by
cahrges approaching treason level
ed against M. Tchernoff, socialist
minister of agriculture forcing
that members retirement.
Out to Stay
Fchernoff did not withdraw his
resignation and he and Foreign
Minister Tereschenko were the
only two ministers who were out
to stay. Tereschenko is not a So
cialist and has occasionally ex-
hibited lack of sympathy for the
radical policies of his fellow cab
met members.
Apparently the charges against
Tchernoff were inspired by the
constitutional democrats, on
whom Kerensky had been working
in an effort to have them desig-
nate a party leader for the cab
met.
One report received today was
that an adjustment of the whole
ministry would be arranged to-
morrow at a conference which, 1t
was understood, Premier Keren-
sky had called between all parties
and Representatives of the work.

That the upheaval has not stop
ped Premier Kerensky's course in
depressing indictments was prov
ed in Petrograd dispatches detail
ing the arrest of Gen. Gurko, for
merly commander on the southern
front, and other officers, charged
with fostering the recent army
