St. Petersburg, April 17.—Maxim
Gorky's reception In the United States
Is giving the Russian government con
siderable concern. A high-official here
made the following statement Monday:
In listening to Gorky the American
people should understand that He Is
not a liberal nor a reformer, but a rev
olutionist, pure and simple. He ls
certainly a writer of talent, perhaps
even a genius, and much tbat he says
regarding the conditions in Russia
doubtless Is true; but It should be
made clear that his object ls not re
form, but revolution.
'Mute. Aodrevn, who accompanies
him, ls not bis wife, she also is a
revolutionist, and M. Morosoff, one of
Moscow’s merchant princes, gave her
21,600,000 for the revolutionary cause.
When tbe government last summer se
cured proof of this faCt, he was given
24 bo'urs to leave Russia, or stand trial
here. He fled to Paris where he com
mitted suicide.”
M. Morosoff, of Moscow, who was
known as the “Russian cotton king,’
was prominent In the liberal movement
last year, and It ls possible that he is
the person alluded to In tne toregolng
statement, although no Information of
his expulsion from Russia or his sub
sequent suicide in Paris has reached
this country.
