Witte Seen as Likely Interior Minister Rival to Mirsky
In St Petersburg January reports say M Witte may replace Sviatopolk Mirsky as Interior Minister and join Emperor Nicholas II councils. The feud with Mirsky grows as Witte pushes for reforms while Mirsky resists. Mirsky signals retirement within 24 hours. Witte had opposed inviting consultative classes but later aligned with liberal tendencies on distant issues. The dispute centers on ministerial power, reform scope, and treatment of Jews amid ongoing Kishinev fallout.
