Premier Witte’s Illness

The Russian perplexity is further complicated by the fact that Premier Witte has been so overworked as to suffer an attack of paralysis in the arm. Inasmuch as he has been so afflicted once before, and his burdens are sufficient to crush a very strong man, it would not be surprising if he should fail altogether before long. Since his appointment to his present position, he is said to have worked practically night and day. So much is dependent on Count Witte just now, that if he were to fail altogether there would doubtless be a greater demoralization than ever among the people.
