Premier Refuses to Remove
Him and Ministry Then
Resigns.
ACTION is WITHDRAWN
Tchernoff and Foreign Secre-
tary Refuse to Stay-Gen.
GurkO Arrested.

PETRoGRAp, Aug. 5.-A crisis, the most
serious Russia has faced since the
revolution last March, was suddenly pre-
cipitated tonight by the reiterated de-
mand Of the Constitutional Democratic
party that NJ. Tchernoff. Minister OF
Agriculture. must resign from the
Cabinet. Rather than conform to this
tire Cabinet. except the vice-Premier
M. Nekpasoff. resigned. Later they with
drew their designations, except N.
Terestchenko, the Foreign Minister, and
NJ. Tchernoff
At the same time Gen. Erdelli, Military
Governor of Petrograd. was assassinated
He was treacherously shot In the back.
Gen. Gurko, who was commander OF
the armies Of the south until he pro-
tested, not long ago, against the inter
ference OF the Council OF Workmen's ana
Soldiers Delegates, has been arrested
The charges against him have not been
made public.
Another Cause Given.
The action OF Premier Kerensky and
his colleagues was duo in part also to d
complete failure OF the effort to bring
the Constitutional Democrats into tho
Cabinet.
A last attempt will be made to re-
construct the Ministry under Premier
Kerensky with the chief new members
taken exclusively from the Socialist and
Radical parties.
NJ Tchernoff. who is a Socialist, in q
letter to Premier Kerensky said he was
resignlng to obtain freedom OF action to
defend his character against the calumny
that he had been connected with the
German General Staff.
The Government accepted the resigna
tion. at the same time expressing the
conviction that N. Tchernoff would sue
| ceed In rehabilitating himself
Vice-Premier Nekpasoff informed the
Associated Press that some of the docu
| ments supposed to incriminate NJ
| Tchernoff already had been examined
He considers the charges against the
Minister Of Agriculture as not very
grave, but the Cabinet was obliged tt
accept the resignation Professionally.
