RUSSIA is AMAZED.
A WeakIlns Appointed to Take the
Place OF Premier Wltte.

st, Petersburg-The imperial re-
script announcing the retirement OF
Count Witte from the premiership,
which had been expected to appear In
the Ohicial Messenger May 3 and
which will mark the termination OF
the Witte regime, will not be pub
llshed, but to all intents and purposes
NJ. Goremykin has assumed the helm.
The first evidence of altered policy
Is the announcement of a change In
the plans for the opening of the ma.
tional parliament, the ceremonial of
which, according to semi.official in.
timation, will be cut to the minimum.
Possibly it Is considered that even
without the blare of imperial trmn-
pets and the glitter of pompous
opening, the parliament will stand so
much in the llmellght that its dlsso-
lutlon, II found necessary, would in
vOlve sufficient risk.
Goremykin's elevation to the prem.
iership has created amazement. He Is
not only regarded as reactionary,
but the general opinion is that he is
not equal to the task of facing the
coming crisis.
Count Witte will again assume the
role of a spectator of the great
events which are transpiring, return
ing to private life from which he was
summoned last summer to negotiate
the peace of Portsmouth.
While reasons of health are as
signed for his retirement, it must be
accepted as a victory for the reaction
lists at court.
Count Witte simply served the EN-
perors purpose as barrier between
him and the people during the trying
months of the revolution, and now
that the uprising is suppressed and
the treasury again replenished, the
count has been ANONYMOUSLY dis
missed.
NJ. Goremykin is considered to be
mediocre man of insignificant ap
pearance as we'll as capacity. lie
wears side whiskers and looks like an
English butler. While for some time
past he has been called liberal IL
was only in contrast with such reac
! tionists as Won Plehve and M. Sipia
| guine, the late interior minister.

Secretary eonaparte improved.

Baltimore-Somewhat alarming ru-
mors as to the condition of Secretary
of the Navy Charles j. Bonaparte, who
is confined to his home in this city,
having been brought to the attention
of his attending physician, DR.. Thomas
X. Brown, he made the following
statement:
Secretary Bonaparte's present in
disposition dates back to last Thurs
day, when he was at Atlantic City.
The attack was not sufficiently serious
to prevent his attending to business,
but showed indications of being of a
ptomaine nature. The attack on Mon
day was acute and Mr.. Bonaparte
suffered considerable pain"
At DR.. Browns request DR.. ]. M. r.
Finney examined the case as a pre-
cautionary measure and agreed with
Dr., Brown that there were no indica.
tions that would justify an operation
for appendicitis.

London, Eng.-The Irish members
of parliament have openly revolted
against the educational bill.
A meeting of the party in the house
Of commons on May 2, under the pres
idency of John Redmond, resolved to
vote against the second reading of the
proposed measure.
This decision greatly strengthens the
hands of the unionists who are united
against the bill and who will be snp-
ported by many members of the labor
party who are opposed to any form of
religious instruction in the state
schools.
