WITTE WILL WIN
IN EITHER CASE
EMPEROR MUST SOON MAKE HIS
CHOICE BETWEEN THE PRE
MIER AND DURNOVO—NICHOLAS
IS STILL VACILLATING.
St. Petersburg. April 10.—That tile re
sult of the elections has precipitated a
crisis Involving the Immediate downfall
of Tremler Witte or Interior Minister |
Durnovo seems absolutely confirmed. The
former spent over two hours with the
Emperor last night, reviewing the situa
tion and pointing out how Impossible it
would he for the government to defend
itself before a hostile Parliament with
M. Durnovo In the cabinet. The Iimperor
as usual 111 such crises, is vae.illating. Ir
respectively of his personal feelings to
ward the premier, lie desires Count Witte
to remain In power, yet he hesitotes to
dismiss if. Durnovo, whom lie praises
as having saved Russia from a revolution.
General Trepoff and General Count lgnu
tieff. the most prominent of the reac
tionary courtiers, are constantly singing
Durnovo's praises. As showing 'how
strained are the relations between the
premier and tin Interior minister, it is
pointed nut that M. Durnovo has not
attended a cabinet meeting for almost a
month.
Count Witte lias cleverly seized the mo
ment to force an Issue between himself
and his rival, when. Ill addition to the ver
dict of the people at the polls against
the governments repressive policy, the
question of the big foreign loan hangs
in the balance. Count Witte realizes fully
that much of the conftdence In Russia's
solvency among financiers abroad is due
It) the fact that he Is at the helm and
that if he goes the chances of the loan
vanish Into thin air.
An aide ile camp to the Emperor, be
longing to the anti-Witte coterie at court,
said to the Associated Press today:
“The Emperor is hypnotized with the
idea that Witte alone is capable of se
curing a loan abroad. For tills reason
if for no other, he does not dare to al
low him to depart.?
The Emperor's decision probably will
not be officially known until the Easter
honors are published. At the present
juncture, no matter what may he the
result of the issue. Count Witte stands
to win. Should he defeat Durnovo the
country In common gratitude Is bound
to applaud, but If he fails and leaves
Durnovo to face an angry Parliament,
his very defeat in such a case will help
to save his reputation in the eyes of
Ills countrymen, it is doubtful, however,
whether anything could be done to re
habilitate Count Witte sufficiently to give
him the leadership of the opposition.
