Baron Roman Romanovitch Rosen,
the new Russian ambassador to the
United States, was until the outbreak of
the present war the representative OF
the Car at the court of the Mikado, and
had advised his government of the prep
arations being made by Japan, but no
attention was paid to his counsels. Pre-
viously he had served as charge d'afaires
at the Japanese capital, and was consul
general at New York from 1882 to 1894.
Baron Rosen speaks several languages
and is an accomplished scholar and mu-
stefan. He is state councillor, cham
berlain of the imperial court and
knight of three orders-St. Vladimir, st.
Ann and st. Stanislaus. NJ. MuravieH,
who was born in 1850 is descended from
one of the oldest families of Russia.
Since 1883, when the Murayieffs came
into the landed estates in the province
of Novgorod which they still hold, they
have figured on nearly every page OK

years ago q secretary of state at st.
Petersburg, and in 1894 was appointed
president of the criminal section of the

Russia. He became minister of justice
in 1895. and since then has reformed the
judicial systems of Siberia and other

of foreign affairs, he was largely instru-

merly was japanese minister to the Unit

his duty to take the helm Of state at

Among the first Of our historic forest
fires was that Of Miramichi, New
Brunswick, in 1925. This started ear
ly one October afternoon and by mid
night had entirely devastated strip
of country eighty miles long and TWEEN
ty-five miles wide-a space as large as
the State Of Delaware in which every
living thing was killed, including the
fish in the streams. The loss Of life in
the Peshtigo, Wisconsin, fire Of 1871
was the worst this country has expert
enced. In burned area it was little
larger than the Miramichi, but at least
1900 persons persisted, and in connec-
ton with simultaneous and contiguous
fires in Michigan the total was 1000.
Ten years later great forest fires swept
Michigan. with an aggregate burned
area of almost 1900 square miles, de-
stroying more than 100000 worth
Of property exclusive of the timber It
self, rendering 5000 persons homeless
and destitute and killing no less than
400. The great Hinckley fire, which
ragged in Minnesota in 1894 was not so
large in area burned, but it resulted in
a loss of 500 lives and S25,000,0OO in
property. In 1902 eighteen lives and

GRAFT Is WIDESPREAD.
Reports Show that Officials Are Ac.
cused in Majority of States.

Reports Show that officials Are Ac.
cused in Majority of States. a
How widespread is the grating by
public officials throughout the United
States and the slow awakening of the
public to a realization of the extent to
which officials are protiting by the funds
of the taxpayers and from the extortion
of brides and perquisites from those who
would enrich themselves at the expense
Of the community, is revealed by dis
patches from the various States in the
Chicago Tribune.
From time to time within the last few
months have come scattering kilograms
telling of the indictment of public officials
for the betrayal of theiN trusts, of the
failure of banks through Encouragement
that sometimes barely escaped criminal
prosecution, and the league of supposed
enforcers of the law with those who
break the laws. But probably there has
been little realization of such widespread
extent of graft throughout the nation as
is revealed by the investigation summar-
lied in the Tribune.
The reports from correspondents show
that in fully two-thirds of the States of
the Union graft is prevailing on a whole
sale scale and that the fragrant offenses
have aroused the victims to demand and
infiict punishment.
In me States it is found that legis-
lators have been guilty of accepting
brides In California they have been
expelled and one has been sent to Jail.
In other States, as in Arkansas, they are
under indictment. In many, as in New
Nf
barter and SALE
In New Orleans and other cities it is
found that the police are leagued with
criminals to prey upon the law-abiding
citizens, and in others, as in Philadel-
phia, politicians have grown rich from
the earnings of disreputable dives. In
scores of cities the city administrations
are being investigated by grand juries
who are uncovering corrupt practices
that were suspected but now revealed.
Prominent citizens are being brought
to shame before those who had been
taught to regard their probity as above
reproach, and they stand before their fell
low citizens as perverters of justice and
instigators of violation of the laws for
their private profit. In Oregon Senator
of the United States has been convicted
and Congressman are on trial.
The inquiry develops that in only
eleven States is there no charge Of graft
or investigation threatening. But among
those exempt are Colorado, which was
recently the scene of tremendous ballot
frauds; Delaware, whose electorate is no.
toriously corrupt; Kentucky, where, how
ever, Governor was shot not many
months ago to prevent his Inauguration;
Mississippi, where more than half the
citizens are disfranchised; Montana,
where politics is a mere struggle be-
tween rival copper kings. Of those ex-
empt only six really stand with clear
skirts, viz, Georgia, Iowa, Maine, Mas
sachusetts, Michigan and North Carolina.

and men who had in former years served

were many others who willingly would
have paid a tribute of honor and respect
to Mr.. Hay, but it was the wish OF his

man could have been given than the

the arrival of President Roosevelts train

Associate Statistician Discharged by
Secretary Wilson.
Edward S. Holmes, associate statisti-
clan of the Agricultural Department,
was summarily dismissed by Secretary
Wilson. as a result of the investigation
into the charges of leak in the cotton
crop reports. Holmes is said to have
received $4,000 from New York cotton
brokers for advance informal ton which
would affect the cotton market.
Secretary Wilson made public his re-
port on the investigation made by secret
service agents and it discloses a scandal
Gus state of affairs, which will be correct
ed by a new method of making up the
report in the future.
There seems to be every reason to be-
Iieve, a correspondent says, that Holmes
could have given approximately correct
information anywhere from one to three
days in advance of the publication of
the official report. During the entire
cotton reporting season of 1903 Holmes
had access to the reports, his chief be-
ing in Europe.
