staff for support. The great Siberian
railroad had been constructed for just
such an emergency as that in whicn
Russia Is now involved, and doubtless
the charge Is true that enough was
corruptly and improvidently squander-
ed In that enterprise to double track
the whole line from the Baltic to the
Pacific. But Russia Is too young to
die like Spain, though she Is sorely
afflicted with the malady Of which
Spain died. 1t was to corruption at
Madrid that the victorious Neither
lands owed their liberties as much as
1t was to the navies of Elizabeth and
the armies Of Maurice Of Nassau.
Periodically the veterans Of Alva, then
the finest soldiery on the planet,
mutinied and refused to make war
because the money due them as pay
had been stolen at Madrid. Thus
were the plans Of conquest Of that
great soldier, and his successor, and
even more consummate commander
brought to naught.
Notwithstanding his numerous and
disastrous defeats, the world looks on
Kuropatkin as an excellent soldier
and admires him for his naivete-
"the gentlemanly and chivalrous con-
duct Of the Japanese makes this the

worth $S1, 900. Until it was learned
that Hyde was buying up every share of
Equitable stock he or his agents could
bring to the surface by offers Of fabu
lous sums. not much attention was paid
by the adherents of President Alexander
to the threat to wind up the company.
The Equitable company sent formal re-
fusal to the Crimmins committee of
policy holders in response to the request
for a complete list Of the 10000 policy
holders of the company.
Papers recently filed by woman pol
icy holder in the Equitable, restrain
ing Mr.. Hyde from drawing the immense
salary Of 100000 year, illustrate the
bitterness with which the conflict is be-
ing waged. The complaint alleges that
it was practically through dummy di-
rectors, controlled by Mr.. Hyde, that
he was enabled to have such great sal
ary awarded to himself. 1t also makes
the astounding charge that 3S Of 81
directors are virtually dummies, who
own not a share of the capital stock of
the society. and were put in office simply
to do the bidding Of young Mr.. Hyde.
Hyde's cunning, which he exhibited
on this occasion, and which temporarily,
at least. put a stop to the open talk OF
his deposition. speaks Of his inner char
acter in the plainest manner imagin-
able. The neatness and dispatch with
which the deceased Hyde handled his
affairs is even excelled by that OF his
son, and the latter has never let his
business deals concern him to such
great extent that it might be 5aid that
he was overworked.
When in college James B. Hyde was
elected to the presidency Of a French
society, and from that time his love
Of things French has asserted itself In
every department of his regime. After
his college days he went to Paris, where
he became even more infatuated with the
people and customs of that country.
Besides his love for things import.
ed from the land Of the Normans, Mr..
Hyde seeks to impress those about
him with the fact that he has French
blood in his veins. and whenever 1t is
possible he endeavors to make himselfas
"Frenchy" as possible in appearance
and manner. When his rise in the world
commenced he grew a black beard.

Explanation Of Fight.

To the untutored onlooker the
Equitable fight Is without interest, but
with the details set forth in clear light,
the war in which these two financial
pillars are involved is Of the greatest
Importance to lights in the insurance
world, as well as to every insurance
policy holder or person who is con-
templating entering such project.
The contention Is this: Hyde, by
his ownership Of over 80 Der cent. Of
the Equitable stock, can control the In
vestment Of the money which the 80
ciety in accepting policies, has to loan.
Having interest in nearly 80 other in
stitutions, he can, by his influence, 50
his business enemies say, raise the
price on the shares Of the contemplated
purchase, thus profting by the move.
In order to take this vital power away
from Hyde, Mr.. Alexander, president Of
the company, has devised the plan to
turn the Equitable company into mu-
tual organization, in which the policy
holders vote on all questions. This
method, Hyde's opposition declares,
would remedy the evil of paying high
high price for stock in the organiza-
tions by allowing the Equitable to de-
posit wherever the policy holders
choose.
When the vast sums involved are
considered. is 1t q wonder that the war
going on between the two factions has
developed into such a savage struggle? |?
The investments In the different finan-
cial institutions Of the country are
really fabulous In their extent, and 1t
will be noticed that most Of the de-
posits are in institutions In which James
H. Hyde is interested, another fact
which adds to the significance Of the
situation. Millions upon millions Of
capital are represented in the deals Of
the Equitable, a company which is .
giant among Its younger rivals.
Standard Oil May Grab Control.
From the table can be gained an idea
of the sums invested, and the vast i'm
portance with which the fight Is looked
upon by the people of the United
States.
So prominent has James H. Hyde be-
come in the financial world that quite
frequently his name has been asso-
ciated with the Rockefeller Hartman
interests, and from rumors which en-
anate from the inner Offices Of promi-
nent fnanciers 1t Is believed that con-
troll of the Equitable is desired by the
Standard Oil people. The manage
ment of the insurance company, Mr..
Hyde and q number Of his friends en-.
tertain the fear that perhaps the con.
troll may pass to the interest of Mr..
Rockefeller, because Of the present
controversy, and In the fight which Is
being made by both factions each party
keeps q watchful eye on the interests Of
the great oil king and his colleagues,
lest at some time controlling interest
in the Equitable may be snatched when
the factions are not on the alert, and
either or both sides be deposed.

kURoPATKIN'S FALL.
Some Other Great Soldiers Who
Have Gone the Same Way.

A celebrated writer mentions the
Duke Of Cumberland and Marshal
Soult as stout captains, but unfortu-
nate. possessing the confidence CT
their superiors and subordinates, but
generally losing the day when they
commanded Marshall Daun, so long
opposed to Frederick the Great, was
another unfortunate general, who lost
battles but was ever a stubborn fight
er and a trusted commander. The
list Of such generals is long, and. no
doubt, a hundred could be selected
from the pages Of Gibbon.
General Kuropatkin belongs to the
class Of Soult and Cumberland. That
he had an army with which to occupy
Mukden stamps him as a thorough
soldier and that he saved even part
of that army after the Titanic bat
ties of the twelve days, shows that
he is a commander Of very consider
able talents. He was reduced to the
necessity of attempting a traditional
Russian tactic, that had twice sue
ceeded in Europe, too Car from home.
He employed against Oyama the plan
Of Peter the Great against Charles
XII, and of Kutusoff against Napo-
leon. 1t was not new. Fabius had
tried 1t against Hannibal, and the
Parthians lured Crassus to destruc-
ton by it.
But the history Of warfare discloses
that the aggressor has the advantage
Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar and Ma
poleon all took the initiative. 1t was
not Fabius, nor even Scipio, who beat
Hannibal; it was Capua, where he
ceased the aggressive and was buried
in luxury and debauchery. Gustavus
Adolphus invariably assailed his enc
my. Let one read the brilliant CAM
paign Of Montrose in Scotland II he
would realize the advantage Of the
first lick" In our own country,
Stonewall Jackson and General For
rest illustrated the superiority of ag-
gressive tactics.
Kuropatkin, however, had no cleo
ton. He was thousands Of miles
from home and dependent on a VIC
ious government and an incompetent
