TO Information which has reached the

ignatlon TO the Emperor with a clcar-cut
intlmaton that the latter must choose.
and at once, between him and Minister
OF the Interior Durnovo. The Emperor.
according to report, took the resigna-
tion under consideration and returned no
answer.
Since his return from Tsarskoc-S -Selo on
Thursday OF last week. when he pleaded
with Emperor Nicholas to heed the voice
of the people and grant Il written con-
stItution, Premier Witte has brought all
possible pressure upon the Emperor TO
divorce himself from the reactionary
cabal and align himself unreservedly with
the new school
Every new election has made It clearer
that the idea that the Imperial Parlia-
mcnt could be held by leading strings Is
utterly futile and after receipt OF the
returns from twenty-cight provinces and
Moscow Count Nitte apparently felt
strong enough To play his final card and
force the issue.
