WITTE AN OUTCAST.
Count Witte, Pathetic Figure at
The Opening of Russian Parliament

ST. PETERSBURG, May lO.--A pa
thetic figure in the scene at the palace
today was Count Witte, of whom the
Associated Press correspondent caught
a glimpse before the ceremony pacing
the corridor entirely alone. Later he
entered the thNnged hall clad in gold
and black uniform of secretary of
state, one of the highest dignitaries of
the court, which still remains to him,
and with the ribbon of the Alexander
Nevsky order on his breast, He took
his place in the ranks OF the old bureau
cracy. Former interior Minister Dur
novo was there, chatting animatedly
and earnestly with companions, but
Witte seemed to find cold welcome
from everyone, Finally he wandered
away and stood apart until the imper-
ial pageant had proceeded.
