London, Oct. "a correspondent Of

sends the following;
The court is in revolt against the En-.
peror who Is vaeillating between coun.
sells to grant Constitution with Count
Witte as Premier and the advice of the
reactionaries to proclaim a dictatorship
under General Count Ignatieff. a mem.
Der of the Council Of the Empire.
One of the most ominous factors in
the situation is the feeling among the
Firms. There are 1000 troops in Fin
land, the 5000 reservists sent there hav-
ing been brought back because they de-
yeoped revolutionary tendencies.
Should the Fins revolt the Govern.
ment could not reinforce the garrisons,
because every soldier is wanted here and
the navy is unreliable.
