Effort to Check CarnivaI

st. Petersburg, Dec. 16-Every de-
velopment goes to show that the gov
ernment is resolved to make an at
tempt to repress the agitation now ex-
isting throughout Russia and to re-
store order in the empire at any cost
Every move made by the reactionaries
has already met with open defiance.
The liberals, incensed at Count Whites
contemptuous reply to the Zemstvo
resolutions. are contemplating a plan
to hold elections for constitutional
independent government The liber-
sals contend that there are unmistaka-
BILE signs that the government Is pre-
pairing counter revolution and they
openly charge that Count Witte has
elected to take up the cause of the
court against the people and that all
hope from him is ended.
Moreover. the belief is expressed
that the present agitation marks the
end of Witte as premier. and that he
will be unable to survive the court in
trigues against him. However, there
are many differences of opinion, and
many believe that Witte must be re-
tanned under any policy because his
disappearance as premier would be
the signal for the final collapse of
Russian credit abroad.
Members of the liberal party point
to the remarkable reception which
was accorded q deputation of the par
ties organized to sustain the autocracy
at Tsarskoe-Selo yesterday The
members of this delegation included
Vladimar Gringmuth, an editor OF
Moscow, who prostrated himself at
the feet of the emperor. Prince
