The correspondent of the Publishers
Press today bad an Interview with one
of the most prominent reform ofllciala
who ia a close friend and co-operator
of Count Witto, in which he said:
"Witte has not yet tome into any real
power, fiefs being hampered at every
step - by1 reactionaries to whom the
Sear continues to listen behind Witto'a
bask; It ls a' great mistake to believe
that revolution In Russia is dead. It.
IS much alive? growing and gaining.
The reactionary J are responsible for
the disorders now going on in all the
provinces. They are trying to. prove
the people are unable to govern them
selves, if Witte had the power in his
hands he would put an'immediate end
-to rioting."
