M. DE WITTE, Russian minister of
finance, and perhaps the most infiuen-
tial man in the empire, except the czar
himself, was fifteen years ago only a
station master in village on the rail-
road between Kleff and Odessa. He at
that time disobeyed an order relating
to the forwarding of troops to Bulgaria,
and was able to prove to his superiors
that he had acted properly in so doing.
This attracted the attention of the
president of the road, M.WychngradslSi,
who,upon becoming minister of finance,
took the young station master with
him to st. Petersburg.
