PREMIER W|TTE
WILL RETIRE
Resignation of Strong Man
of Russia Said to be in
the Cars Hands.
In Moderate Circles the Fall OF Count
Witte at the Present Time Would
Be Regarded as a Catastrophe.

St Petersburg Since the sitting OF
the council Of the empire, March 19,
at which Premier Witte made an enig-
matical statement, which was inter-
preted by many members of the coun.
ell as virtual declaration that his ca
reer as premier was ended and that
he would be succeeded by Privy Coun-
cilor Kokovskoff, former minister of
finance, the premier has not attended
the session Of the council, and his con-
tinued absence adds color to the ru-
mors of his retirement at an early
date.
1t is positively asserted that the
premiers resignation, based on the
grounds of i'll health, Is before the en-
peror This, however, is not admitted
at the premier's chancellory The gen.
eral belief In high quarters is that II
Count Witte retires 1t will not be M.
Kokovskoff. but NJ. Goremykin, former
minister of the interior, or General
Count Ignatieff, leader of the reaction
ary party, who will succeed him. The
combination of the reactionaries Is un,
derstood to be NJ Goremykin for pre-
mier and General Ignatieff for minis
ter OF the interior. In moderate cir
cles the fall of Count Witte at the
present juncture would be regarded as
catastrophe.
