Prince Troubetzkoy, president of the
Moscow zemstvo, has written a letter to
Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky. minister of
the interior. declaring the empire is ON
the verge of a revolution. He says:
A Revolution Not a Riot.
"Eussia is now in Il state of anarchy.
me revolutionary movement nov pro-
ceeding is not a simple disturbance by
the youth of the country. 1t is a move
ment which reflects the attitude of
public opinion dangerous and ever ter
ilble, not only for the people. but for
the emperor. Therefore it is the duty
oN every rue Russian citizen to DO
what he can to prevent the impending
calamity. Recently 1 had the happi-
ness to see the emperor. l reported
10 him truly in all sincerity the present
state of public opinion. l tried to ex-
plain 10 his majecty that what is now
proceeding is now a simple emeute
QioD, but Il revolution. The Russian
nation is being dragged into a revolu-
ton which ii does not want and which
may be prevented by the emperor if
he shows confidence in the people. My
strong belief is that If the emperor will
himself unite the national forces
around him he will relieve Russia from
the terrors impending bloody revolu-
ton. If he viii! not do so the nation
VIII support his autocratic power
Wittc Looming UP.
With the increasing complications.
NJ. Witte, president of the ministerial
council, looms up as the strong man
/" whom the emperor will turn in tho
present crisis. 1t is remarkable that
the dispatches from the front are abb
soiuiaiy silent upon the subjec. of the
.ar!1iy's reception of the news of the
fall OF Port Arthur. indicating that the
announcement has been withheld.
