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.

KANSAS CITY HAS DRY TIME
I, Id on Tight on Both Kansas and
Klssonrl Side of the
Line. v
KANSAS CITY. July 1. For the first
time in their existence, perhaps, all sa
loons In both the Kansas Cltys were closed
tight today. On the Missouri side It was
the usual Sunday closing that has been
carried on for months past by order, of
Governor Folk. On the Kansas side, where
the prohibition law has been openly vlo
lated for years, the closing was the re
suit of Governor Hoch's campaign to stop
the sale of liquor not only on the Sabbath
but on every other day In the week. Since
the Sunday closing order has been in ef
fect on the Missouri side 30.000 have weekly
gone to the Kansas side for relief, but
today none was Ip sight. The lid was not
only on In Kansas, but It was padlocked.
In Kansas, In order to emphasize his earn
estness In the matter, Assistant Attorney
General Trlckett had padlocks placed on
the doors of all Joint.

Saturday night and half nn hour later
there was a tender alongside to receive
passengers for England. Several who Irtd
planned to debark and hnd packed their
baggage decided at the last moment to
remain aboard. It was a fateful decision,
though not dictated by any fear. The run
across tho Atlantic had been pleasant.
There were cheery pnrtliigs when the pas
sengers for Imdon transferred to the war
ing tender, whirh steamed for the Devon
port landing, where the cxprean was lying
made up.
The train consisted of a powerful express
engine, three first-class corridor carriages
and one combination guard's van and
buffet. The passenger were soon entrained
and at 11:30 the express pulled out. It was
given a ch'ar track on the run of 230 mile
to Indon, on which the express generally
maintains an average speed of a mile a
minute.

head and the special was aoon speeding
swiftly through the night. It ran on surely
and without incident until it entered the
