Russian Morning Papers Give Prominence to the Report. Has Advocated Complete Liberty ol Speech, of the Press and of Assem blyQuestion of Cabinet With a Responsible Premier Decrease ot Influence of the Grand Dukes. St. Petersburg, Oct. 24. It was per sistently reported in the clubs and In government circles that the emperor yesterday had appointed Count WItte premier with the portfolio of minister tt finance. All the papers this morn ing give prominence to the report. Since his return from the United States, Count Wltte has boldly ranged himself on the side of the Liberals and bas not only advocated complete lib erty of speech, of the press and of assembly as a necessary corollaray of the coming douma, but has urged the extension of the powers of the douma along the lines demanded by the re formers, as well as a broader franchise so ns to admit of fuller representation from the ranks of labor and the cul tured classes. The emperor, to whom the count personally outlined his views, dis played much sympathy with them and, it Is learned, favored a number of min isters suggested by the count, Includ ing General Trepoff, assistant minis ter of the interior, who now ranks as one of the most broad-minded of his majesty's councillors and who Is under stood to be working harmoniously with Count Wltte. The question of appointing a cabinet wl;h a responsible premier, to which a faction In the ministerial ranks has been offering stuborn opposition in special conferences, Is likely to be decided Wednesday next. The reception of the Countess Wltte by the empress yesterday Is consid ered a singular evidence of the em peror's determination to confide his fortunes to the hands of Count Wltte. No other Interpretation Is placed upon It in court circles, where the reception of the countess created a tremendous sensation. The countess Is a Jewess of ordin ary birth and had never before been received at court. When M. Wltte was appointed minister in the nineties the emperor was reported to have said to him: "Remember you are not married." The fixing of his wife's social status which has been one of Count Wltte's ambitions must rank as one of the triumphs of his life. The decrease of the Influence of the grand dukes perhaps made It easier for his majesty to turn to Count Wltte. The resignation of Grand Duke Vladl mfr. the emperor's uncle, as command er-in-chief of the military district of St. Petersburg, however, has not yet been accepted. In tendering his reqie nation' the grand duke wrote to the em peror substantially as follows: "I have served your grandfather, your father and yourself; but now that your majesty has disgraced my son I no longer have the heart to serve you." The. emperor Is said to favor even depriving Grand Duke Cyril of the title of grand duke, saying that he should be known simply as Monsieur Romanoff. Murphy and McCarren to Testify, New York.
