the question Of replacing the retiring

to suppress an uprising There were
already signs tonight that pressure will
be eXerted.

ed as follows:
Deputies approached Premier Lvoff
with a proposition to reform the cabl-
net based upon the imposition of the'-
own policies IN the new body. The
premier rejected the suggestion and In
reply offered to secure the retirement
Of the remaining bourgeois members
and 70 permit the council to assume all
responsibility OF the government This
proposal in turn was rejected by the
deputies, and after a long conference
it was agreed to let the matter rest ms
II was for the present.
