Nearly Two Years Ago Count Witte Told the Czar That Autocracy Was Bankrupt and Must Be Liquidated.
Special Cable to Review. }

Especial Cable to Reyiew.)
 By Count Alexander Stapanovitch Bielewitz
 ST. PETERSBURG, May IS.-Near- ly two years ago Count Witte told the Czar that autocraey was bankrupt and must be liQuidated. The con verse cry +Liguidate the eonstitu- ton" is now being raised by the hand ful of reaeri0naries who hold the Cars ear.
 The conduct of the Duma on one side and of Nicholas II. on the other today indicate clearly that the liqui- dation of the constitution is inevit- able and that Russia must endure an- other age of slavery before she at tains real and lasting freedom. The Duma. of course, may last another month two months, or even six months. That depends upon the measure of complaisancy shown by the "revolutionists' who compose it. But the moderation displayed by the 'reVOlutionistS' so far has been a severeer blow to representative in- stitutions than the fierce words and angry demeanor of the firsL -.~ma. The reactionaries have triumphed. They have made it plain that the Duma will be dissolved on it's first serious conflict with the government; and at the same time can boast that the Dumas timidity proves that it has not fighting population behind it. The Duma must in fact either continue its policy of keeping alive at all costs and thus gain the con tempt of the country or enter upon a conflict and be dissolved.
 The first of these courses is i'm possible. So liar the Dumas has passed no laws and has been able to avoid conflicts, but it has now ready and will pass within the first lew
