AGAINST COUNT wITTE.
Sentiment Developed at Caucus in
st. Petersburg Municipality.

ST. PETERSBURG, October "a strong
sentiment against Count Witte developed at
a caucus Of the st. Petersburg municipality
yesterday evening called to discuss civic
action in recognition of his services at
Portsmouth.
Suggestions that a banquet be given in
his honor and that he be presented with
the freedom of the city or an address were
rejected and a resolution was adopted de-
claring that he is not worthy of any spe-
cial honor because his services at Ports
mouth were only redeeming sacrifice for
the political mistakes. in which he has ac-
quesced and which were responsible for
the war"
The first act of the ministerial committee,
the sessions of which have been resumed
with Count Whites return, has been an Inn
pcrtant concession on the language ques-
ton permitting the commercial schools at
Warsaw, Riga and Reval to use Polish or
German as the language OF instruction in
