VOTE TO CONTIMJr. PRESENT POLICY finpprt What is Good and Attack the Objectionable in Any Cabinet. 00 NOT EXPECT CZAR TO YIELD TO THEM la Fact They Do Sol Desire to Take Responsibility of Government Daring the Present Period f I n rest. ST. I ETETRSBURO, July l.-No definite statement with reference to the retirement of the Ooremykln cabinet was forthcom ing today. Emperor Nicholas apparently Is encountering trouble In finding a man to whom to entrust the reins of power and effecting an understanding with the liberal groups of Parliament. The constitutional democratic parliamen tary committer met this morning behind closed doors to discuss tactics under the , new situation. The Associated Press was Informed after the meeting that the com mittee adhered to Its former decision that nothing less than a fully responsible cab inet will be acceptable and that constitu tional democrats will refuse to take port folios In any mixed ministry. The leaders scarcely expect that these terms will be accepted at present. Indeed, they have alight derire to shoulder the responsibility of government when the country ap parently Is on the verge of a series of out breaks and disorders. Their present plan la to adopt towards any new ministry the aame tactics they have followed In the past, the acceptance of what Is good In the policy tl the government and unsparing Criticism where that policy does not square with their IdeB. The Immediate vote of a lack of confidence Is probable. It la Stated that Minister of the Interior Btolypln and Minister of Finance Kolov eoff will submit to the lower house of Parliament, probably tomorrow, a request for an appropriation of JfAono.onn for famine relief, one-half of which will be for dls trlbutlon during the current year and the remaining one-half next year. The mln laters reject Parliament's suggestion that relief be conducted through the aemstvo and other local bodies, declaring that the organisation of these bodies Is Insufficient and th.t only the administration is capable of efficient work. . .
