St. Petersburg Nov. 2.-The imperial
decree creating cabinet ministers un.
der the imperial manifesto granting a
constitution TO Russia was gazetted this
morning and has already aroused crit
icism, as the machinery is extremely
complicated and smacks of the old
fashioned bureaucratic regime. The
relations of the cabinet to the council
of the empire, or upper chamber, and
the imperial douma, or popular cabi-
net, are not Yet clear because the pow
ers of these bodies are yet TO be defin-
ed under the manifesto.
Features Unsatisfactory.
Two features are especially unsatis-
factory. While the cabinet has not au-
thority to decide matters within the
competency of legislative bodies. no
measure of general importance" can
be introduced into the chambers with
out the sanction of the cabinet. and
another provision required is that when
the cabinet is unanimous the premier
must go to the emperor to receive in
struCtions This would seem to make
final authority go back TO the emperor
Army and Navy Excluded.
Moreover. all questions affecting the
imperial court and the domains of the
army. navy and foreign affairs are spe-
officially excluded from the competency
of the cabinet without direct imperial
authority
BY implication these great questions
in which the nation is vitally interest
ed, are outside of the competency of
the legislature. and therefore bound to
prove unsatisfactory.
