concerning De Witte. He often SAYS
that he has more faith in De Wittt
than In anyone else.
During all the things that hav.
been going to the reverse for Russia
Nicholas, aroused to do something
has sent for De WHITE.
But he has not acted on De Whites
advice. He has castigated him with
tongue before his courtiers on every
opportunity.
This is an extremely interesting
episode related by a writer of Rus
sian affairs. He asked a man high
in court: why does the car so
hate De Witte?"
ooh! White is 80 uncouth; he has
no manners at all, and steps on the
imperial toes at every audience.
Sergius De White is far too much in
earnest to be courtly: there is no
doffing of hats, no bending of knees
about him, and speak with bated
breath he simply can not, even when
in the presence of the great white
czar"
When NJ Plehve was assassinated,
De Witte expressed no horror at the
deed-he gave vent to a modified re-
gret-indicating that the cars min
lister only got what was coming to
him.
The same writer, quoted before,
says:
There is no touch of the lamb ia
NJ. De White; when he is struck he
strikes back, even though the striker
be his sovereign. There is probably
not another living Russian who
would have dared to denounce the
car as he denounced him, openly face
to face, for allowing Russia to be
dragged into the present war: OF
would have had the courage to tell
him, as he did, that the st. Vladi-
Mrs day massacre was a scrim.
which neither God nor the nation
would ever forgive"

More depends now in Russias criti-

Will go to Washington, or even on

De White, president of the council

referring to NJ. De Witte.
A writer conversant with Russian
affairs thus writes concerning Nicho,
las and De Witte:
Upon more than one occasion, in
deed, the cars demeanor towards De
Witte has been insulting in the ex-
treme. He has even gone so far as to
tell him openly that he does not trust
him: that he believes as little in his
patriotism and his loyalty as in his
craftsmanship and his diplomacy
Again and again he has tainted him

said that he has called HMM his

! lighting.

Mayor Pingree, after a terrific con-
test with private interests, succeeded
in having a municipal electric light
ing plant established in Detroit in
1895. II is controlled by a bipartisan
commission of business men and poll
tics does not enter into the manage
ment.
The board has asked from the city
, this year for operation and mainte-
nance of the plant on account of 1905
arc lights, S10s,216. This is $50 per
light. The cost per arc light in the
last report made by the commission,
including operation, depreciation, in
terest and taxes, was s6436.
Before the city plant was establish
ed the best offer that could be OBJ
tanned from a private company was
sl55 per lamp for a one-year con-
tract. sl24 for a three-year contract,
and $l02 for a l0-year contract.
The city plant cut far below those
rates. Including interest, deprecia-
ton and taxes, the cost per arc light
from the municipal plant was 500 in
1897. $50 in 1898, SIS in 1899 and
s66 in 1900. The plant has paid for
itself and the lower cost of the lights
has made possible the illumination
of the city on a much larger scale
than would otherwise be the case.
Employees at the plant work eight
hours a day, get higher wages than
are paid by private companies, and
have 10 days vacation each year with

lature permission to do commercial

Allegheny has a municipal electric
plant, established in 1890. 1t fur
nishes 1855 arc lamps per square mile.
Officials claim that Allegheny is the
best lighted city in the world. There
are 1900 of the street lights and 49,
600 ncandescent lamps for public
buildings. The plant is kept in fine
order, and the equipment is superior
to that of a majority, if not of all,
private companies operating under
similar conditions.
The operating expenses per arc
light last year were $55.92. Adding
high charges for interest, depreciation
and taxes, the cost per arc lamp il
brought up to sS2.56. Employees work
eight hours and get high wages.
Pittsburg, Just across the river,
gets its street lighting from a pri-
vate company, and pays 500 per arc
light. The same company sells lights
to other municipalities at two or
three prices, the lowest, 1t is said, be-
ing SIS per arc lamp.
City Controller ]. B. Larkin, who
has a national reputation as watch
dog of the treasury, has made a long
and a strong fight to secure lower
rates for Pittsburg. He was asked
how it came about that Pittsburg
paid 500, while Allegheny produced
lights so much cheaper and other
cities secured lower rates from pri-
waite companies.
The company" he said, charges
500 because 1t can get that price here
That is the only reason"
The same company charges Pitts
burg 81 per thousand feet for gas.
