the foreign office officials appealed

AleXieff, by skillful intriguing. had
secured the appointment of vieeroy

best province away from him he
could protest that IL destroyed his
viceroyalty and that would disgrace
him.

of court favorites had gone into COM

set in motion important movements.
AS a matter of fact Russia is stand
ing at the parting of ways. She
must either have a new form of gov

The autocracy founded by Peter

OF Finland in greater degree than
the czar was autocrat OF Russia. The
classification policy was Bobrikoff's
own and his personality was 40 dom
mating that he was able to overrule
all the cars impulses toward great
err leniency and all the occasional ef-
forts from st. Petersburg to make
the Russian rule more tolerable 70
the Firms.
Bohrikoff played his own game,
and played it strictly TO the limit.
Now Finland has nothing To look FOR
ward to but the rule of some other
petty tyrant. bent on making a record
for himself independent of st. Peters
burg authorities. Russian centrall-
cation does not centralize.
Another petty tyrant who has been
out of control is Pobodonotzeff pro-
curator of the Holy synod He also
is bent on making record independ-
ent of the central authority. His
was the egregious communication
OF Tolstoi, and the raid on the Ar
menian church, by which the Russian
government deliberately stole $35,-
100000 belonging TO the Armenian
organization. and by so doing made
every Armenian in Russia an enemy
of the cars government.
Another tyrant who made himself
petty car was the governor of the
Caucasus province, who was nearly
assassinated six months ago by two
of his enraged victims. Today the
Georgians are admittedly discomfort
ed.
A similar state of affairs exists In
Russian Turkestan, where the rebel
lion was stamped out only few
years ago Since then the local Rus
sian satraps have been comandeering
camels and other supplies wholesale
from the natives, with some wild
idea of having them ready for an In
vasion of India, and the result Is the
natives are ready for another re-
bellion.
Plehve's campaign against the
Jews is matter of recent history
The discomfort in Poland is notorf-
Gus. On all hands, even in the heart
OF holy Russia Itself, there is discon-
tent at local tyrannies and even signs
of general dissolution.
IT strong man, the ear could set
the Russian house in order and bring
discipline out of chaos. But'the ear

BARON ROTHSCHILD TO BUILD
MODEL DWELLINGS IN PARIS

particular Importance from the fact
that it is the first effort of the kind
seriously made in France. 1t was
vaguely hoped that parliament
might, at some time, vote special
appropriation for this purose, but
the day seemed so distant that not
very much had been done even in
the way of getting architects plans
and ascertaining the best models for
the dwellings. The consequence is
that these details are still undecided
in regard to the Rothschild initia-
tive, and the ten members of the
Rothschild committee will have to
devote their first deliberations to this
point before active work can be in
augurated.
The municipal authorities declare
themselves relieved of a great anXi-
ETY. by the generosity of the Roths-
childs in coming to the rescue of the
lower classes. Recent modern i'm
provements in various outlying dis
tricts of Paris, which have embel-
lished formerly hideous neighbor-
hoods and have been acclaimed as
an evidence of progress, have had
unfortunate effects for the workmen
by increasing the land values and
consequently sending up rents and
taxes and the prices in local shops.
1t is estimated that at the present
moment $4,000 Partisan families,
comprising from three to ten per-
sons, are living in single room for
each family; and $4,000 such faml-
lies live each in two small rooms.
The result is not only unhealthiness,
which encourages tuberculosis and
the spread of all epidemics, but the
home becomes an object of aversion
to the men, who escape in the eve
ming to take refuge in barrooms.
With the long foresight of the ex-
perienced fnancier, Alphonse de
Rothschild has estimated that the
day will come when the income from
his houses will have supplied the
neighborhoods with all necessary res
taurants, baths, etc, and that the
proceeds, for a time, are to be de-
voted to combating tuberculosis in
the public schools.
Statistics show that 1 ) per cent
of all the pupils in the Paris free
primary schools have tubercuiar
tendencies. Physicians and proper
food will be supplied to combat this
trouble, and, if necessary, sanatoria
will be established and extended UNI
til the evil has been overcome, giving
a sound future generation to enjoy
the model dwellings provided for the
present suffering generation of Par
isian workmen.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-07-28

PARIS, July 2S.-What Peabody
did for London, the Rothsehilds now
propose to do for Paris, in erecting
model cheap dwelling houses for
workmen. Two million dollars has
been presented by the Barons AL
phonse, Gastave and Edmond de
Rothschild to the municipality for
this purpose, and the proceeds from
renting out the apartments, instead
of being devoted to the erection of
more model dwellings, as Peabody
specified, will be used in Paris to
found cheap restaurants, baths, no.
tells, amusement places, and all that
can transform the workmen's neigh
borhood into a healthy, comfortable
and agreeable locality.
The Baron A1phonse de Roths-
child, who is the head of the family
in France, originated the scheme
