COUNT WITTE PREMIER.
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. Oct. 24. It was stated
that Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tarn

pnny, which owns wharfs and ware

was renorted that an attempt to sell
this nronertv to the city of New York
was mado some time ago and that
Mr. Murphy and Mr. McCarren will be
questioned on that point.
