THE INFLUENCE on m. de WITTE,

Vienna, September 8th. According to a telegram from St. Petersburg, the news that General Kuropatkin's man force had to evacuate Liauyang has greatly upset the military authorities in Russia. They are trying all means to repress the more liberal party in the administration, who are inclined to oppose ihem, taking advantage of the Russian failure at Liaoyang. It is certain that there will be a great struggle between the two paries over the war budget, which will have to be discussed in the near future. Mi de Wiite has strong in Aluence in economic matters and everything of this kind has to be submitted to his decision,
