THE CzAR AND WITTE.

NJ. Witte, after his audience of the
Emperor of Russia at Peterhof, return
ed last evening to st. Petersburg and
drove directly 10 the foreign Office, where
he was clOseted for three hours with
Foreign Minister Lamsdorfi
A sensational report was current early
this morning that NJ. Witte might not
90 to Washington after all. According
to the story mis- audience of the EN-
peror was anything but smooth, the
Car rather resentiug NJ. Whites plain
spoken ideas, and indicating that under
the circumstances he would prefer that
Baron Rosen should act a. chl"f pleni-
potentiary. The Emperor is even said
TO have intimattd that Count Lamsdortl
exceedGd d his authority in officially an
nouncing to the Washington govern
ment that NJ. Witte would occupy the
first position.
NJ. Witte is said to have left the En-
peror in an ugly frame Of mind, and to
have frankly Informed Count Lamsdorfi
that it would be impossible for him to
undertake the mission. 1t was only by
the greatest effort, the story says, that the
Foreign Minister succeeded in persuad-
ing HIM not to fatty refuse, and the
question IA TO whether he would go 10
Washington is said to be still open.
At Witte's personal solicitation M.
Korotovitz, one ofthe ablest young diplo-
mats who formerly was secretary OF the
Russian Legation at Peking, will be at
tached to the Russian mission.
Spontaneously all parties recognized
that NJ. Whites selection made for sue
cessful termination of the peace negotia-
lions. The mere fact that the Emperor
at last yielded to the pressure for Whites
appointment was accepted as being COM
plete assurance that he was sincerely de-
termined to end the conflict and make
peace if possible basis was obtainable.
Every influence which chlmpioned M.
Wite was for peace, while, Oh the con-
trary. in every instance those who op-
posed him were for prOlOngation OF the
struggle.
France, through Ambassador Nslidof,
strongly urged him for the post, but the
main credit for NJ. Whites selection be-
longs TO Foreign Minister Lansdorfi, who
never ceased to press foT his selection
Count Lamsdorh and NJ. Witte are now
in close alliance, and when NJ. Bouligin
retires from the ministry of the interior
all the ministers will at least be in har-
mony. especially should Prince Sviato-
polk Mirsky return to the head of the
ministry Of the interior.

The Russian Troubles.

The Russian authorities are exerting
their utmost to conceal the fact of the
growing dissensions and, in several in
stances, open rebellion in the army.
A regiment of sappers stationed at a
small village in the mountains near
Tifls. Caucasia, has rebelled, and It is
reported the soldiers have murdered all
the officers and joined the revolution
lists.
The situation is daily becoming more
critical, and it is said the Gar, urged on
by the autocracy, will make General IRE
hof minister of the interior in the hope
that his policy Of oppression and tyranny
may be successful. TrehOf, though real
izing that he is marked by the terrorists,
is utterly fearless.
The government censorship, now un-
der his direction as assistant minister of
the interior, has been revived with all
its pristine vigor. A blanket order has
been issued positively prohibiting the
publication of any news relating 10
strikes, disorders or revolutionary ac
tivity.
A band ofterrorists fully equipped to
manufacture bombs and forge passports
was captured in house near the Fon-
tanka canal Thursday night, The po
lice surrounded the building occupied
by the desperadoes, but the inmates
fought them of with revolvers. After
the police had received reinforcements
the whole gang was made prisoners.
Several of the policemen were wounded.
The St. Petersburg correspondent OF
the London Daily Mail says that the
threatened faminein central, eastern and
northern Russia will far surpass those OF
1891 and 1897. The crops of winter
and summer grain, peas, beans and
cattle food have totally failed. The mis-
fortune is increased by the fact that all
ahle-bodied men have been summoned to
ioin the reserves, women, children and
aged men alone being left The women
in MANY villages have marched Ia bodies
TO the police stations, which are the
temporary quarters of the reservists, and
demanded that their husbands be restored
TO them. The government is doing
nothing to relieve the distress, despite
the repeated representations of the zem-
stovs.
