PETROORAD.—Who ar0 the mys
terious powers behind M. Sukhomll
noff? What Is the secret document
on which he relies to clear him of
the charges of graft, treason and
gross neglect of duty?
Again these questions form the
chief topics of discussion since the
duma has been prorogued, stopping
short a mass of accusations voiced
against the former Russian war min
ister. Answers replete with political
scandal are whispered among the
few on the “inside,” and some of the
sensational allusions made in the re
cent duma sessions could not be pre
vented from finding their way to the
public ears.
Sukhomnlloff was removed last
month from the council of the em
pire by imperial ukase. The formal
charges placed against him is that
he is responsible for the lack of am
munition, which is blamed for the
great defeat of Grand Duke Nicholas
last autumn.
Sukhomllnoff has been arraigned
before a judicial tribunal of the
council of the empire, but the hear
ings have been in camera. A higli
commission whlrh investigated the
shortage of ammunition charged
SukhomllnoCf with illegal acta and
submitted a recommendation for his
indictment to the czar, who ap
proved it.
The thing that mystified the itua
lian capital, however, is the fact
that, despite the apparent over
whelming evidence against him, ti.e
ferraer war minister seems to ne un
concerned about the charges acn'nst
him. He is seen daily in all pub it
places, always smiling and carrving
his head erect, displaying a manner
ol complete confidence and rer
taintly.
If utterances made in the djmt.
are to be bel'eved, there seems to
be, indeed, a “higher power” behiprt
the accused general.
After the grave charges had be-'n
published against him, a war council
decree approved by the czar was is
sued naming a Russian town in Fuk
him linoffs hono'. This is one 01
the highest hon-rs bestowed by the
emperor, and it was done in the
face of the accusations of treason
against the recipient.
ThlB extraordinary event was fol-l
lowed by the declaration In ttx^
dams by a socialist that it confirmed
the rumors that Hukhomlinoff had
in his possession a carefully guarded
letter, the contents of which mean
his complete vindication. The as
sertion caused a sensation in the
duma. but was not contradicted.
Nation-wide indignation has been
provoked by it, and there is'a power,
ful movement on foot for a thorough
investigation.
"The people will stand no wihte
washing of this man, but demand to
know the whole truth, no matter
who is involved,” shouted one of the
deputies when the case was dis
cussed.
Deputy Polovcoif is quoted in the
official duma report as saying with
reference to Sukhomllnoff:
"This criminal, who lured us all
into their terrible war through his
mendacious assurances that we were
prepared, this man who tore the
laurel from the Hussian army’s fore
head and trampled it In the mire of
corruption and treason—where will
the government throw this scoun
drel?”
Another member of the duma de
clared that formerly the country had
only figured with the incapacity of
the ex-war minister, "but now we all
know that he knowingly lied when
he spoke of supplies of*ammunition
and war material.”
This member charged Sukhomli
noff with having ordered the de
struction of great quantities of guns
of an older, type shortly before the
outbreak of the war,’ and even after
ward destroyed a mass of material,”
although he knew that Russia was
not provided sufficiently with infan
try rifles.” At a time when the Rus
sian army suffered a great lack of
guns and ammunition in Poland and
Galicia, the deputy asserted, Suk
homlinoff prevented the sending of
supplies by the allies, “thus sacrific
ing millions of human lives and the
greater part of Western Galicia.”
