tnat he is showing the clover hoof,

between the two stools.
NJ. Brianchianenoff is out with a
strong article IN tne SloNo, entitled
'.Witte Must Co." in which he asserts
tina the victory at Portsmouth has
been followed by defeat at st. Peters,
burg. His line of argument is that an
archy has been able to make Roadway

Russia is to have a constitution, or
whether the manifesto is only a tactical
move to lull them to sleep. 1t was
Whites first duty, according to the
writer, to remove this doubt, but it is
charged that he still maintains an
equivocal role.
