LONDON, May 12-The Times st. Peters
burg dispatch says: 1.-The Cars manifesto
indicates clearly the direction his inter-
national policy will take, and iustifies the
skepticism which has prevailed in regard to
predicted reforms in a constitutional sense.
The change of form lately introduced
in the routine Of the committee OF
Ministers is an important step, ia
vorable to the diminution of Intrigue
and capable Of uniting Ministers other
wise working independently and responsibly,
but it does not establish anything for the
moment comparable with the Cabinet as
understood in England. The attention of
the government is TUNED to economical re-
forms and to the pressing necessities of the
empire, chiefly composed Of peasant farmers,
the majority of whom are reduced to a state
OF poverty and misery requiring immediate
relief. All talk of constitutional reform is
absurd and misleading"
