BRUTALITY OF THE

 RELATIVES OF THE GEAR.
Draws Scathins Pen Picture of the Grand Duke Boris and the Sycophancy of Russian Off cialdom.---The Author Now Languish-'
 ins in a Dungeon Awaiting
 an Unknown Fate.

St. Petersburg.-1n Russia the. gov erning power is virtually in the hands of the grand dukes. It is to them the czar must turn for advice, and it is, their advice which must be accepted, whether the czar would or not for they are more to be feared by the Little Fa- ther than are the people. Palace walls guard him from the deputations of the working classes and prevent the plac- ing of nihilistic bombs. but palace walls will not guard him from themachinations of his relatives, the grand dukes, and they would not always be averse to his death.
 They can rule only so long as Russia let reform get start, let the people have a share in the government, and the day of the grand dukes is over. This they know, and it is against such a pos sibility that they will exert every in fluence
 AS class. the grand dukes of Russia are not worth representing any people. As class they are dissolute set to whom country, society, morals, must be sacrificed on the altar of their de- sires. There are exceptions to this rule. but they are not many. Grand Duke Boris is fair example of the rule, and, as an illustration of his charac- ter, and of the influence of the grand dukes upon Russia, is given the follow ing story written by the great Russian novelist, Maxim Gorki Gorki is one of few men who dared picture Russian conditions as they exist. and for his dar- ing he is now languishing in a Russian dungeon, removed, pos sibly forever. as many Rus sian hero has been before him. from friends and associates. and if not to meet death, then to suffer exile to the Siberian mines that his influence upon the Russian people may be re- moved. His story is as follows:
 Bal pare at the Nobility club, the fore most social organization of St. Peters burg. Twelve o'clock, midnight. Five venerable members. two ministers of state, an admiral a marshal of the aris- tocracy and a millionaire banker are in the reading room, dozing at the great round table over magazines and newspa-

 The intruder burst out laughing, while the women giggled. Library" he cried, "fiddlesticks for your library. would turn the library of the winter palace into a wineroom if were czar Don't look so grumpy" he added. Rather have drink with us, and then kiss yourselves good-by, grandpas.'
 Suiting the action to the word, the dom ino knocked down the fnancier's paper with fan one of his women companions handed him. The banker grew red in the face, and. being small man, sickly and in his dotage, looked helplessly at his friends.
 Sir" he stuttered at last, you don't seem to know with whom your are deal ing. 1 am councillor of state, Baron Schestjakoff.
 "Oh, you are, are you? A pawnbroker of the highest order, 1 believe. Well, since you introduced yourself. have drink and then once more good-by-goodb to all of you. You are in my way. Myself and friends desire to be alone. Do you hear?"
 By this time the insulted gentlemen had risen. and all spoke at once. Ths masked man seemed to know them, for he addressed them by name and heaped insults upon each. The admiral was saying: "I never encountered such inn pudence. We must make an example of this loafer"
 "Loafer?" shouted the man in the mask Take care that do not pull verize you, admiral, and now, out with you, or I will have you fired head fore- most"
 Meanwhile one of the ministers had sent for the president of the club, who entered, still red with the excitement of the dance. Leave the room at once" /" he demanded. "and when sober prepare to pay for your intrusion with expul- sion. Waiter. remove the glasses and bottles and report to the board of gov ernors for insubordination.

ence. The record price on Wall street itself-that is to say, for the world was set years ago. at the corner of Wall and Broad-the office of J. P Morgan, in fact-at $16.29 300 an acre. But that corner is worth much more now; perhaps twice as much. A short block away, at the corner of Broadway and Wall street, is a tiny drug store. The old man who owned it, and who recently died, was once offered $450 per square foot for it, $3.12 per square inch, 9,592, ,000 per acre. He refused. You'll have to cover that plot with gold dollars if you want it." he said to the broker The broker went away and figured a while; he thought he had caught the old man. Then he came back. I'll cover that plot with gold dollars" he said. laying down a handful of them to illustrate.
 Nonsense" said the old man testify. "Put your gold dollars on edge, man." There was no sale.
 All this question of the value of Wall street land is going to become . political issue. The old custom house on Wall street covers 31.000 feet of land. Seven years ago it was sold (if it was really sold; that is disputed) by the government to the Standard Oil National bank for something over $3,OOO.0O0; the government has paid rent on it ever since, and the bank has dodged taxes by not taking title. Congressman Sulzer says the plot Is worth $1O,0OO. 900. and judged by values in the neighborhood this seems likely: only it isn't everybody who can use so large a piece of $16.OOO. .OO0- -an-acre land. The bargain was made by Sec retary Gage and Assistant Secretary vanderlip in Mir. McKinley's time. Vanderlip is now an officer of the bank and Gage the president of Standard Oil trust company.
 There doesn't seem to be any neces- sity of dragging Mir. McKinley's name into the row, either. He wasn't an expert upon land values in New York, and he had other things to attend to. But if New York had had congress men who were worth their salt the scandal could never have arisen. For congress had to pass upon the sale.
 Why New York doesn't have such congressman is an old puzzle. Can you guess the answer?
