Quired his prominence by his own work,

southeastern part Of the empire born OF
parents comparatively poor, He had a
fair education and began life as clerk
IN a railroad office. This was at odessa
on the Black sea, He did his work well
and rose to be manager. Then he was
advanced to another road which ran
from Odessa TO Moscow and managed
that His ability here was such that he
was recommended again and again TO

railway man of the empire He was
then put in charge Of the board Of pub
lie works and railways, the position
now held by Prince Hllkon, and little
later on was made minister Of finances,
by far the most important officer in the
cabinet Of the cZar.

Siberian road, has extended the roads in
Turklstan, has put Russia on a gold
standard and has filed the treasury.
