1t is said that De Witte is deep in the
court intrigue of Russia and that it is
this fact which binds him to the czar.
That he is eminently qualified for the
part he is now playing is evident by
his rise from the state of mere rail
road clerk to that of the financial mas

in Tiflis about 40 years ago and is
really without education, except such
as he managed to pick up for himself.
He began his career as a humble en-
ploye of government railroad and
rose rapidly as much by his capacity
for intrigue as by his acknowledged
