LEADERS OF REVOLT
TO KNOW FATE SOON
NEW CABINET FORMED,
SAYS NEWS AGENCY.
No Bitter Feeling Nor ClamOr
For Vengeance Against
Leaders of Revolt.

Petrograd, Sept. 15.-Gen. Korni-
lof, leader of the recent rebellion
against the provisional government,
and Gen. Lokomsky, the commander
OF the northern front, who refused
to take command of the Russian ar
mics after Korniloff was deposed
have been arrested.
News OF the arrest of Gen. Korni-
lon was first conveyed in telegram
received by Premier Kerensky from
Gen Alexieff, the chief of staff. So
far only the following details have
been received:
At 10 o'clock last night Gen. Kor-
niloff and Gems. Lokomsky and Ro-
manovsky and Col. Pleustchevsky-
Pliuskhem were arrested.
The members of the commission
of inquiry are due at Mohilev at
midnight and the arrested persons
will be given into their hands. Such
other officers as the commission Sc
lects also will be arrested.
"All the troops at Mohilev are
true to the provisional government
and recognize my authority"
Crisis Solved?
Russia's political crisis has been
solved after an all-night's confer
ence, it was announced today by the
Russian official news agency.
A new cabinet has been formed
and it's composition will be made
public tomorrow.
Exciting Public Opinion.
The question of the probable fate
OF Gen. Korniloff is exciting public
opinion. Indications are that the
government must face serious diff
culties over the matter.
A feature of the conflict is the
crediatble absence of bitter feeling
and clamor for vengeance. Having
re-established capital punishment at
the front, however, the government
If ii spares the rebel commander
must face the reproach that it exc
cuted common soldiers for less Sc
rious offenses and il would be vir-
tually impossible to impose the
death penalty in the future. Against
this are the facts of Gen. Korniloff's 8
brilliant services, his chivalrous and
personal character and the happy
circumstances that there has been
no bloodshed so far.
There are indications that the
government is seeking way out.
AS an instance. NJ. Kishkin, the new
minister of the interior. declares
that the government has decided not
to take extreme measures against
Kornilofr, as it does not wish to ap-
pear revengeful.
Tangled Story.
"The story" NJ. Kishkin said. sis
so tangled that only an inquiry by a
commission can elucidate the truth.
Meantime, we have reason to be-
ieve that the revolt was due to n
misunderstanding with Korniloff's 9
emissary to Kerensky, Vladimir
LVoH, who has not the reputation Of
being responsible man"
The newly completed cabinet
again is smelling pot. The news
papers report that representatives
OF the Social Democrats and the So
cial revolutionists visited Premier
Kerensky and announced their par
ties would withdraw If the consti-
tutional democrats were taken back
into the ministry
