revised to meet The promises made
last spring Unless this was done the
Prince announced that he would re-
sign. Count Witte even in advance
of the PRONUNCIATION of his formal APP
pointment as premier completely
dominates the situation.
Interesting details have been learn
cd by the Associated Press regarding
Count Witte's interview with Emper-
or Nicholas last week, at which it was
agreed that the time had come to
limit the autocratic power and give
the people a real share in the govern
ment of the empire.
The Emperor asked Count Witte to
speak frankly and after listening to
the statesman's exposure OF the situa-
tion, he appeared to be utterly un-
nerved by the deplorable state of af-
fairs and cried out that he was weary
of the struggle, and felt like leaving
all and fleeing to Barmstadt; hence
probably the origin of the report that
the Emperor was going abroad.
Count Wittc, however told the En-
peror that in his opinion not even a
republic could now save Russia from
anarchy. 1t was the Ennperor's duty
to the people and the country to face
the situation by meeting their wishes,
namely to abrogatc the autocratic
power and grant constitution by
creating a ministry responsible alike
to the Crown. and the representatives
Of the nation. The Emperor finally
accepted. requesting Count Witte to
draft "a project which, in skeleton
form. he approved last Sunday when
the CcrP1t agreed 10 ACCEPT the prem
icrship on condition that he could
namia the ministers and that they
should report to His Majesty only
