Nov. 27.—One I of the most commanding figures and I farsjeing statesmen of the empire* whose opinion Is of the highest value* but who has declined to permit the use of his name, In conversation with the Associated Press today expressed the distinct conviction that nothing in the nature of a radical change In the ex- luting order of things would result from the Zemstvo congress. This Htatesmsn, U can be stated, is a firm believer In the principle of autocracy ns the best system of government for the realisation of the dreams of the Hlav race, and what he believes to be the great destiny of the most populous nation and vastest empire In the world; but he has himself In fact favored a liberal policy, and Is now* too practi cal-minded not to appreciate the fac tors which threaten the present regime. Still he does not believe that anything I like a crisis now confronts the govern- I ment. In his opinion everything de- [ pends upon the war. “The war/* the statesman said, “Is a | big Interrogation point for Russia. Her future at home and abroad Is In- I volved In the Issue. The internal slt- I uatlon Is very complicated. The ac- 1 tlon of the Zemstvo representatives is I a symptom of the disease from which I Russia suffers, but these few men have I not necessarily made a correct dlag- I nosls or offered the true remedy. Their I Is in no case the verdict of the people | but only the opinion of a class. “The real representatives of the I Russian people, could they assemble and could they argue, would probably enunciate a program quite as repug nant to the Zemstvolsts as to the sup porters of the present program. The men who assembled nc.e last week do not propose true representative gov ernment. They would really substi tute the rule of class autocracy for Imperial autocracy. The Russian peasant, who represents four-fifths of the population, with his inborn sense of devotion to the emperor, would doubtless prefer the letter to the for mer. Were I a minister and working for the good of the country. I should prefer to obey-the mandates of the emperor to those of a bogus parliament professing to speak l*y authority of the people. If 25erp»i •'o-riected repre sentatives should sit In the council of the empire they would be equally so spurious os representatives of the people. Neither the country nor the people are prepared for true repre sentative government. Anarchy would take the place of govf-.nment and the empire would crumble to pieces. Bo far as the program of the Zemsvolsts is concerned, I am cure neither the emperor nor the govo. ament believe In It; but this does not mean that liber alism Is to end. The policy repre sented by Von Plehve in my opinion can never return. Prince Bvlatopolk- Mlrsky is a courageous, sincere man, and stands for a b.oad and liberal policy, but a constitution now is out of the question. I will not discuss what may occur In the future, but I repeat, everything depends on the war. Its outcome will deteimlne whether there will be a crisis, nnd it* character. Japan, I believe, would now welcome peace, and so would lussla also, but 1 cannot see how it Is possible for them to come to terms. Therefore, the war must go on. When It ends an answer to all these questions will come." An Important Result. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 27.—As soon as the new Russo-German treaty Is ratified, Russia expects to open ne gotiations for the revfslon of commer cial treaties with other powers. One of the most Important results doubt less will be the ending of the trade war with the United States which arose over the Imposition of a countervail ing duty on Russian sugar a few years ago. Russia retaliated, imposing the maximum duty on American goods, practically destroying the growing Russian market for American manu factured goods. The loss to American trade has been 110,000,000 annually. SPECIAL NOTICES 1 INTERNATIONAL KEROSENE ENGINES Stationery, Portable, Marfa* for Lighting.
