A RUSSIAN DIPLOMAT
COUNT MURAWEFF, TIE NEW MIN
ISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

Well Grounded In the Diplomacy Of His
Country, LobanoG's Successor Has the
Traditional Russian Dislike For England
and Germany and Affection For France.
In picking out his new minister of
foreign affairs the young czar Of Russia
has chosen a man who is probably the
best equipped to carry out the policy
which the late Alexander III handed
down to his son and which Nicholas is
dutifully pursuing. Count Muravieff,
who has been recalled from his post at
Berlin to take charge of the foreign re-
lations, is born diplomat. Besides
abundant experience in the diplomatic
service of the czar, he has one quality
which Nicholas appreciates most Of all
in those who serve him. That is reti-
cence The new minister Of foreign af-
fairs knows when to say nothing. OF
course such knowledge is useful in all
walks of life, but to the diplomat it is
almost indispensable.
Count Michael Muravieff is 90 years
old and therefore fully matured men
tally as well as physically. He is tall,
dresses with exquisite neatness and
taste and is as much addicted to the
wearing of monocle as is Joseph
Chamberlain. 1t is a singular coinci-
dence that the heads Of the foreign Of
fees of two such great European powers
as England and Russia should each af-
feet the single eyeglass.
Nothing will be more agreeable to
Count Muravieff than 10 reiterate to the
ambassadors sent by the German kaiser
to st. Petersburg that Russia regards
Germany with q constantly suspicious
eye, for the count does not love the
kaiser. There are several reasons fol
this, one of them being that when AL
exander III decided to cut loose from
Germany he sent the news by Count
Muravieff, who, as the bearer of bad
tidings, was not received with much
cordiality Moreover, he had served al
Paris under Prince Orloff, and the Ber
lin court seemed extremely dull to hin
after his stay at the brilliant French
capital.
Count Muravieff belongs to one o
the most aristocratic and Influential
families in Russia, and he brings to til,
office a social prestige equal to that o
! his immediate predecessor, the lat
Count Lobanoff. His is not an old title
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1897-03-04

came merchant in a small way. There
Lyman went to school until he was ID,
when, as there was large family, he
started out to make his own living. He
was first employed as o clerk in q coun-
try postoffice Seeing little hope Of ad-
vancement, however, he left the employ
Of Uncle Sam and entered the Oneida
Central bank at Rome He began his
career as a banker in very humble
way. His position was that Of office
boy and Junior clerk. His salary for the
first year was 800. He waited another
half year for raise, but when it was
refused he resigned. He had the west
ern fever, and he started for Chicago.
With very little money, no friends
and one or two useless letters Of intro
duction in his pocket he tramped for
many weary days about the streets Of
the young metropolis of the west, But
young Gage did not so to Chicago to
starve. Failing to get situation in a
bank, he took job in lumber yard,
and for more than a year worked as
lumber "shover. " Then he was pro-
noted He was made night watchman.
Next he was taken into the Office and
made bookkeeper. A change in the firm
displaced him, however, and he once
more went to handling lumber.
All this time he kept haunting the
banks and asking for a position. Final
ly one bright day in 1858 he happened
into the Merchants Savings, Loan and
Trust company just when bookkeeper
was needed, and he was engaged a6 a
salary of $500 year. In six months he
was made paying teller and later as
sistant cashier. He remained with this
bank for ten years and then went to the
First National bank to fill similar po-
sition. Since then his progress upward
has been steady. in 1882 he was made
vice president of the First National,
and he was promoted to the presidency
in 1891.
During the more than 40 years Of Mr..
Cages residence in Chicago he has
come to be recognized as a public spir.
tied citizen in the full sense Of that
much abused term. Generally he has
appeared in the role of a haImonizer.
On more than one occasion his calm,
conservative Judgment has been a need
ed leaven in the midst Of crowd Of
impetuous, hot headed enthusiasts. Oh
this nature were his services in connec
ton with the Worlds fair, and he il
credited with having saved that great
enterprise from being wrecked in {
storm of angry conflict between the na
/, tional commissioners and the local di
rectors, of whose board he served al
,, president. The list of his other public
| services is too long to enumerate.
Personally Mr.. Gage is a tall man
l whose commanding figure would be i'm
,, posing were it not for the kindly ligh
| which glows from his eyes and his milk
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1897-03-04

however, but is of comparatively recent
origin. His grandfather, General Mich
olas Muravieff, first Won distinction for
the family by winning, through the
conquest Of the Amur province, nearly
the entire Siberian territory for the en-
pire. He was created a count for this
service, but afterward his record was
somewhat clouded by the cruelty which
he exercised in suppressing the Polish
insurrection.
His father, who was governor of the
Baltic provinces, was a most liberal
and moderate man, however. Another
member of the family has distinguished
himself too. This is a cousin Of the
count who acted as state prosecutor in
the trial of the nihilist charged with
the assassination of Alexander III and
who did his work with so much justice
and skill that he was warmly commend
ed by the government.
AS diplomat Count Muravieff is
known to have almost as little liking
for England as he has for Germany.
He is an enthusiastic admirer of the
French, and the task of preserving the
entente cordiale between the two coun-
tries will be q most congenial one. In
Vienna, where he also served as a mem
Der of the Russian legation, he is we'll
liked Both at Vienna and Paris he has
reputation as AN ideal host, who gave
most excellent dinners. Although a
good judge of wine, he has never been
known to lose his head, failing which
has caused the recall Of many minis
ter in disgrace. His manners are always
gracious, but he made a, confdant of no
one. The tremendous secrets which Rus
sian diplomats have to carry around at
times were always safe with him.
His appointment has been credited to
the influence of the dowager empress,
but this is probably mistake, for the
tzar himself has known Count Mura-
vieff intimately for a number Of years
and had doubtless decided upon him for
the important post long before the ap-
pointment was made. 1t is probable
that the czar delayed choosing for the
position of minister CT foreign affairs a
man whose prejudices had such de-
cided leaning toward France and against
Germany that he might personally Wis
it France and see if matters were as
they had been represented to him. Hav-
ing satisfied himself that France was
ready for an alliance, he hesitated no
longer,
While Russia's foreign policy will be
to treat the kaiser as n stranger, this
will not apply to the allied princes of
the German confederation. The latter
will be treated with marked courtesy
and will be encouraged to resent any
interference by the kaiser with their
sovereign rights At this kind of a
game Count MrEayieff will be perfectly
at home. @. j. BowDEN
