IF ONE DELEGATE DEMANDS CON
STITUENT ASSEMBLY He
WILL BACK HIM.

Berlin. Nov. 8. - William Stead,
fresh from Russia, by way of Finland
and Copenhagen, stopped over IN Ber-
lin Yesterday on his way to Paris.
For an hour and half he poured forth
his vivid impressions of "hell pretty
we'll let loose" as he called it, OF the
things that he had seen and heard and
of the CHASTITY welter into which Rus
sian society has drifted.
"The coolest man in Russia is the
emperor" said Mr.. Stead. God grant
that he may keep his seat; that the
Liberals may gather about him and
that they may resist the forces of dis
solution. His authority is shaken,
passions are loose and things are like
~ to be worse. There may be fearful
slaughterings. AS an optimist, L
think a hundred thousand lives may
fall. If l were pessimistic, l would
say two millions. The situation is
something like this:
Police Are Indifferent.
"The police, gendarmes and Co.'S
sacks have been suppressing reyolu-
ton in the name of the emperor. Sud
denly, they say, the emperor goes over
to the Liberal side, and that he thinks
more of those who want to vote and
who are doing everything in the way
of meeting and agitation which the
police were taught to believe was I'M
lawful, than he does of them. Simply
human nature; the police and
gendarmes say:
"'Oh, very we'll, if the emperor's
new friends act like this, it is no con-
Germ of ours
"And when the police are Indifferent
the 'hOoligans' break loose and tory
ism in society also breaks loose. That
amass of ignorant conservatives which
only thinks of killing-the black hun
dred in Moscow-are Conservatives
who are offended by the Liberals
Getting the Upper Hand.
All through the. Russian empire au-
thority, as represented by the police,
Cossacks and gendarmes, is shaken.
as have said, and the forces that tend
to tear society apart are at work"
Mr.. Stead added that the army
could no longer be depended upon.
Several officers at Helsingfors had
sent word to the Liberals while hold
ing a meeting, that they need not be
afraid as the troops would not fire.
"The Liberals" he continued, care
unfortunately holding back from sup
port of the crown at a time when
every man who has good coat on his
back or a rouble in his pocket should
stand by the emperor, who has placed
himself on the Liberal side. The Lib
erals are unable at once to overcome
their distrust. The fuller liberties
have been granted too late"
Witte Gives Pledge.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 8. - Count
Witte has definitely pledged himself
to support the plan for the convoca-
ton of a constituent assembly when
the douma meets if a single delegate
raises the question. He is extremely
DESTROYS of winning the support Of the
zemstvoist party, which he does not
hesitate to declare stands nearest to
his political ideal, and which he evil
1ently regards as the strongest, safest
md most influential factor in the fu.
ure political life of the country.
Count Witte continues to complain
Utterly of the lack of confidence man.
'ested toward him by all the ele-
tents of the opposition at a time
hen he stands so much in need OF
he support of the Liberals.
Would Not Believe Christ.
The count added that he believed "if
hrist himself we're at the head of the
overnment, the opposition would not
elieve in him. and said that at the
resent iuhcture the only person who
yas seconding his endeavor to intro
uce the new regime in a completely
oval spirit was Gen. Trepoff.
Now that the crisis in Finland is
,irtually over it develops that the
evolutionary socialist had complete
control of the situation. The militia
n possession of Heisingfors and other
owns kept a firm grip on all means OF
communication and prevented the
news of what was happening reaching
The Russian authorities.
