Professor Goremykine declared tliat the proposed Agrarian solution was unconditionally inadmissable. Goremykine unequivocally disclosed the Ministry's intention to adhere to the old methods of repression. Correspondents show that tho Ministry has constituted itself a wall between the Sovereign and the people, but as the Czar displaced Count Witte in order to avoid an immediate conflict with the Duma, Goremykine is likely to share the same fate.
