thirty-six hours, hss kept the city In a
turmoil
Refuse to Use Force.
The government evidently considered
it unwise. for the safety Of the city, to
oppose the disturbers with violent meth
DDS until il is absolutely necessary.
The government adopted the same
course with respect to the Socialist
Lcnine some weeks ago. realizing that
the movement had little sympathy with
a majority OF the population and de-
cided it better not to msrtyriie the
Maximalist faction or to run the risk OF
precipitating a serious clash with the
possibility OF far-reaohing consequences
Support In Plenty
There Is little doubt that the govern
ment has enough loyal support easily to
suppress an uprising There were al
ready signs tonigh, that pressure will be
exerted,
The cabinet situation tonight appeared
as follows:
Deputies approached Premier Lvoff
with proposition to reform the oabi-
net based upon the imposition OF their
own policies in the new body. The pre-
mier rejected the suggestion and in re-
ply offered TO secure the retirement OF
the remaining bourgeois members and
to permit the council to assume all re-
sponsibility Of the government This
proposal in turn was rejected by the
deputies and after a long conference II
was agreed TO let the matter rest as it
was for the present, NJ. Skobelcff, min
lister OF labor, spent the day visiting
labor headquarters and factories coun-
selling moderation to the workmen.

FINAL II. c. L. BLOW!
NO MORE FREE SEED
FROM CONGRESSMAN

Washington, March 12.-Since the
home gardening movement began
thruout the country as a means to
meet the increased cost of food, the
department of agriculture has been
swamped with hundreds of thousands
of requests for free seeds.
Officials of the department say that
unfortunately they have no seeds to
distribute. The free seeds provided
by congress are distributed as mem
bers of congress, them selves. direct.
and this wears supply of about $500
900 worth was long ago exhausted.
No more free seeds will be available
until late in the summer.

CABINET IN CRISIS
Predict End of Premier BRAND
Rule Is Near.
Committee Opposition Reveals
Fight Now Is Open.

Paris. March 1.-THE attacks of
the opposition in parliament have
produced a situation of such char
acter that both the friends and the
adversaries of the government admit
today that it cannot continue. Gen.
era1 opinion is that the opposition
which has been resorting to obstruc-
ton by refraining from voting must
overthrow the cabinet and assume re-
SponSibility for solving the problems
which form the basis for its assaults
on the ministry. or else it's attacks.
Premier BRAND is in a situation
with reference to the parliament SINH
lar to that which preceded his first
1all from power in February 1911.
There is a well grounded belief that
he may again be obliged to retire.
Committees Arc Against Him.
A public vote in which deputies and
senators are obliged to take respon-
slbiiities before the country gives the
government majority. Both houses
seem to be with Mr.. BRAND yet the
committees are against him and they
are as they were in 1911 making it
extremely difficult for him to conduct
affairs. He himself, explained in a
recent debate in the chamber how the
committees and interpellators in both
houses were taking the greater part of
the time he needed for the conduct of
the war The day after the premier's
return from Rome he was obliged to
speak three hours before the budget
committee explained what would be
the authority given to the new under
secretaries if state.
The members of the army commit
tee. the foreign relations committee
ana the naval committee of the cham
Der announced that they would re-
quire NJ. Brands attendance before
them for further detailed explanations
regarding the high command of the
army the Greek situation and other
question that already had been de-
bated during the secret sessions of the
chamber and senate.
Turn Down His Plans
The budget committee refused to
accept the governments scheme for
new taxes and the committee on leg
islation reported unfavorably on the
premier's request for authority to act
by decree On urgent questions, the de-
crees to be regsarized by legislation
afterwards. The gravity of this de-
Nelopment appears when it is recalled
that the request made by Premier
BRAND was really a part of his min
isterial declaration to the chamber
after the formation of the new cabinet,
constituting a part of the cabinets
program. The opinion is expressed in
some quarters that NJ. BRAND would
have failed long ago had it not been
that the opposition was not able to
gree on a successor.

GO HIGHER YET!
Wheat Is Now Cheap to What 1t
viii Be, Experts Say.
MiIIers Already Finding the
Supply Alarmingly Low.
BY JOSEPH F. PRITCHARD.

Chicago. ILL.,. March 12.-MfllerS IN
all sections of the country report
great scarcity of desirable wheat with
trouble in securing supplies to meet
the moderate demand for flour.
The best grades Of 1915 crop are
selling considerably above the 81 level
and one of Chicago's best judges OF
conditions says that before another
crop of wheat is available there will
be so much increased difficulty in
getting supplies that the present price
of wheat will look cheaper
In referring to this scarcity of grain
f. W. Wagner x Company, refers to
the fact that writers are educating
the United States to a knowledge of
United States wheat scarcity.
The United States is already trou-
bled with high cost embarrassment.

majesty a sufficient advertisement of

tailed government report makes a

Mr.. Stow says further:
Il figured the visible commercial
supplies at los. 100000 bushels On the
basis of the average of past exper-
fence, but the official report puts this
supply OF country mills and elevators
at only S9.614.0 900 bushels.
The Supply Figures.
THE wheat supply on March /. as
shown by official figures. was: Farm
stocks, 101, 1865, 900 bushels; visible
supply. 4916.00 bushels; country
mills and elevators, S9,614000 bushels.
Total supply. 255, S95, 900 bushels
The requirements March l to July
!, are for consumption about III, 000,-
600 bushels and for seed about 10000
000, or domestic requirements of 2o7,-
600, 900 bushels, leaving for export in
four months and carry-over stocks on

bushels. In 1903, the year of small
supplies. the c3rry-over stocks alone

Both corn and oats sold at higher
prices last week and the prospects are
for still fryther advances in both
these grains. The trade VIII like con-
time large as the country is taking
