PRINCE PETER
VERY POPULAR
Russians of All Glasses
Pleased With His Selection
to Succeed Won Plehwe
DAWN OF A NEW ERA
Jewish Newspaper Believes
He VIII Not Be Influenced
by the Bias of Race

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 10.-The
Russian press unanimously approves
the appointment of Prince Peter
Sviatopolk- Mirsky as Minister of the
Interior. All the papers speak of the
critical character of the present situa-
ton and express the opinion that the
selection of such a man as Prince Peter
will do much to relieve the internal
conditions. The Novoe Vremya, in an
editorial, summarizes the general tone
Of the press as follows:
I'VE are now passing through an his
torical crisis which may influence the
destiny of the Russian empire. AS the
military situation in the Far East be-
comes more complicated an opportunity
is offered to our enemies at home, who
are always quick to take advantage OF
reverses experienced by the Russian
National Government. Therefore. we
must show hearty cooperation in the
hour OF trial, repel our enemies
abroad and disarm the discontented
elements at home. In order to accom-
plish the latter task we must retain
all the good, especially the two institu-
tions which can develop only if al
lowed to work Independently. Decent
relations must be the aim and one of
the first requisites. it is certain. will be
liberty Of the press and freedom of
speech, which are the lightning con-
ductors of public opinion. Prince
Sviatopolk- Mirsky's knowledge Of pro-
vincial life and his humane attitude
are the best guarantee Of his success. "
The Novosti, a conservative Jewish
organ, says:
Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky's appoint
ment creates the most agreeable i'm
preston throughout Russia. His past
career has enabled HI to become ac-
quainted with the needs of the nation.

hope that the new Minister is destined
to exert benefcent influence in the de-

FIREMEN SAVE
SCORE OF LIVES
Rescue Women and Children
From Burning Five-StOry
Tenement in New York
LADDERS TOO SHORT
Little Tots Are Dropped
From High Windows and
Caught in Arms of Men

NEW YORK. Sept. 10.-More than a
score Of women and children were res
cued from a fire in a five-story tene-
ment-house at sol Tenth avenue early
to-day. The blaze started under q
stairway on the second floor and spread
quickly TO the roof.
One woman was confined to her bed
by illness and the flames had reached
her room when a fireman stove in the
window and carried her down the fire
escape. Her husband and children, who
had remained in the nat, were carried
down extension ladders by the firemen.
So quickly did the flames spread
through the tenement that the families
living above the second floor had no
time TO gather their clothing.
Twelve families occupied the second
and third floors, and all had narrow
escapes, losing everything they
possessed
The most sensational rescue Of the
FIRE was when a mother and two chill
dren were taken from the ledge Of a
fourth-story window. 1t was made
after q conspicuous show of bravery
and resourcefulness on the part Of two
ladder men. The woman and children
had been driven from their apartment
by the flames and were clinging to the
ledge crying for help when the firemen
arrived on the scene. When a thirty
ive-foot ladder was thrown UP against
the side Of the burning building 1t fell
four feet short Of the fourth-story win
dow. There was no time TO make a
change and the two men rushed up the
ladder.
Balancing himself on the top round
while his companion firmly grasped his
legs from a more secure position below
the ladderman caught the children as
the mother dropped them into his arms.
Other iremen had taken positions on
the ladder by this time and the rescued
ones were passed safely down from
their dangerous position.
