GRANTING OF AUTONOMY LIKELY TO LEAD TO DISMEMBER- MENT OF EMPIRE. 8t. Petersburg, Nov. 14.—The forma proclamation of martial law through out Russian Poland and the promulga tion of the government's intention t¢ suppress the Polish movement to se cure autonomy almost created a panic on the bourse, imperial fours agait falling to 86. Industrials seem tc have no bottom, The city is full of rumors to the ef fect that the imperial ukase was is sued over Count Witte's head at the instigation of the reactionaries, whick is equivalent to the count’s retirement but it can be stated with positiveness that the action was taken on the premier’s advice. Count Witte fayor ed and impressed on his majesty the advisability of restoring Finland’s con stitution and reversing the policy of the Russification of the grand duchy But te surrender autonomy to Poland after all the old gievances of the Poles had been redressed and they had been placed upon an equality with Russians the count considered would only be a prelude to an attempt to set up the ancient kingdom as a separate entity aund would involve ultimately either the dismemberment of the empire or the necessity for bloody suppression such as marked the revolutions of 1821 and 1863. It was regarded as wise, therefore, to take the bull by the borns and let the Poles understand that the separate government would not be tolerated and that until they came to their senses further efforts to place in operation the reforms mani- festo would be suspended. both Germany and Austria have given Ru assurauces of support, but of what nature cannot be learned. Whether or not this is true, both Ger- many and Austria naturally are inter- ested, cach of them having a Polish problem on their hands, in not raising the Polish hopes of a restoration ot the encient kingdom of Poland and the present movement in Poland certainly will not receive the sympathy of the governmeuts beyond the western bor- der.
