DYNASTY OF THE RoMANoFFs
First Of the Cars Was Chosen by
Representative Assembly.

Representative Assembly.
The Romanoff dynasty OF Cars, or
which the present emperor or Russia
Is a member, has ruled the empire
since 1913, when Michael Feodoro-
witch Romanoff was elected car by
an assembly OF representatives, fol-
lowing a national uprising. says the
New York Tribune. The previous
rulers, the descendants Of Ivan Ill,
who threw off the yoke of the Mon
gols in 1462, became extinct about
1892, and the country had been torn
by wars among the mobiles, and by
popular risings against them. 1t was
as the champion Of the last OF these
risings that the Romanoff dynasty
cane into power.
The steady growth of the Russian
empire began about that time. Michael
purchased peace from tho Poles and
devoted himself to strengthening the
empire, but under his son the terri
tory given the Poles was recovered,
and his grandson conquered the Cos
sacks and fought the first successful
war with the Turks. Another grand
son of Michael, Peter the Great, Is
considered in many respects the real
founder of the empire as modern
power. 1t was he who introduced
into the semi-Oriental customs of the
Russians of his day the Occidental
customs which have been so fruitful
source of trouble ever since. Under
Peter the empire wrested territory
from the Turks, Poland and Sweden,
and the internal administration OF the
government, as well as its foreign pol
icy, was placed practically on the
footing 1t now occupies.
The next period of rapid develop
ment in Russia came under Catherine
H. Q762-96), who assembled the throne
after causing the murder Of her bus
band, Peter III. She furthered the
spread of Western civilization in the
empire. enacted laws favorable to the
development of commerce and indus
try, and introduced administrative
changes. She was the guiding spirit
in the spoliation of Poland, and fought
the Turks in two successful wars. Her
son, Paul l., carried on constant fight
with his aristocracy, and established
the censorship Of the press and the
secret police system. He was prepar-
ing to make war on England when
he was assassinated by conspirators.
Alexander l., who assumed power In
1901, was lover OF peace, and abol-
ished serfdom in the Baltic provinces.
1t was he who fought Napoleon, and
led him into the disastrous invasion
OF Russia. The latter years of his
reign were less liberal, and his son
carried on reactionary policy. His
grandson, Alexander H., however.
proved the most liberal Of Russia's
rulers, and, while prosecuting the ex-
pansion of the empire in all directions,
Instituted many internal reforms. He
abolished the secret police, and was
said to be about to propose marked
changes in the form of government
when he was assassinated In 1881.
His son, Alexander Ill, took as adj
visers the extreme reactionaries and
autocrats. He was succeeded in 1894
by Nicholas H., the chief feature OF
whose reign has been the develop
ment of Asiatic Russia.

Makes Fresh Attempt to
End Eastern War.
APPEALS TO THE PRESIDENT
Urged to Take Action Looking To-
ward End Of War-Points Out That
He 10 Probably the Only Person
Who Will Be Heard WITH Favor.

Washington, Feb. 10.-President
Roosevelt was urged yesterday to
tnKe action looking to the termination
OF the Russo-Japanese war. The re-.
quest was made by the Inter-Parlia.
mentary union through the president
of the organization, Representative
Bartholdt, of Missouri. DR.. Bartholdt
explained to the president that the
consensus of opinion among the mem
bers Of the union and among European
parliamentarians with whom he Is cor
responding was that the president
OF the United States was the one man,
with the possible exception of the
emperor Of Germany, who indicated
no disposition to try to bring the war
to an end. who might be listened to
ON the subject with favor by Russia.
DR.. Bartholdt pointed out that, al
though Russia had let It be under.
stood that any offer OF mediation
from whatever source would not be
only unwelcome, but would be regard
ed as an unfriendly act, such an atti-
tude was in violation of the plain stlp-
ulations Of The Hauge convention OF
which Russia was not OILY party,
but Of which the car was the moving
power. The president gave DIR. Barth-
oldt no definite assurances beyond
promising to consider the matter
with Secretary Hay. 1t Is known to
be quite unlikely that this govern
ment will take any action looking TO
mediation until some assurances have
been received from both parties TO
the pending conflict that such action
would not be unwelcome.

verdict Is that IL the emperor has sue
