Goremykin, has declared that the proposed agrarian solution was unconditionally inadmissible, and that Ministerial responsibility was outside the Duma's competency. M. Goremykin has unequivooally disclosed the intention of the Ministry to adhere to the old methods of repression. Correspondents snow that the Ministry has constituted itself a wall between the Sovereign and the people. But as the Czar displaced Count Witte in order to avoid immediate conflict with the .Duma, M. Goremykin is likely to share the same fate.
