ment is made that Rear Admiral Schley will
shortly publish his autobiography under
the title of "Forty-fve Years Under the
Flag About one-third of the book will

In the chapters which relate to the

necessary to refer to apparent inconsis-

author has endeavored always to avoid
unnecessary personalities. Through the
courtesy of Secretary Moody, recourse has
been had to official papers which were not
available before his accession to Office

be given to the narrative of Admiral
Schley's service in many seas

Prince Mirsky's Appointment Well Re
ceived at st. Petersburg.

ST. PETERSBURG, September 1O.-The
Russian press unanimously approves the
appointment OF Prince Peter Sviatopolk
Mirsky as minister of the interior. All the
papers appear to speak of the critical
character of the present situation and ex-
press the opinion that the selection of such
a man as Prince Peter will do much to
relieve the internal condition. The Novoe
Vremya, in an editorial summarizes the
general tone. of the press as follows:
I'VE are now passing through historical
crisis which may influence the destiny OF
the Russian empire. AS the military situa-
ton in the far east becomes more and more
complicated an opportunity is offered to
our enemies at home, who are always quick
to take advantage of any difficulties or re-
verses experienced by the Russian national
government. Therefore we must show
hearty cooperation in the hour of trial, re-
pei our enemies abroad and disarm the dis
cOntented elements at home. In order to
accomplish the latter task we must retain
all the good, especially the Zemstvo. insti-
buttons which can only develop IL allowed
to work independently.
Decentralization must be the aim and
one of the first requests it is certain, will
be- liberty of the press and freedom of
speech, which are the lightning conduct
ors of public opinion. The task of the
minister of the interior, consequently is
unusually difficult. Under our system the
personality of the minister plays an ex-
ceedingly important part. 1t is an adj
vantage to have a minister who has re-
ceived a military education, and who,
therefore, is not biased, and who subse-
quently acquired variety of knowledge
and experience regarding the material
and spiritual requirements of our peo-
pie. Prince Sviatopolk Mirsky's knowI-
edge of provincial life and his humane at.
titude are the best guarantees of his sue,
cess"
The Novosti, a conservative Jewish or
gan, says:
Prince Sviatopolk Mirsky's appoint
ment creates the most agreeable impress
sion throughout Russia His past career
has enabled him to become acquainted
with the needs of the nation, regardless
or religion or race. Let us hope that the
new minister is destined to exert benefi-
cent influence on the DEVELOPMENT of the
empire
