would be a fiasco befTe 1t was begun

chaos.
The St Peterburg authorities were
helpless. 1t seemed hat they had no
one to whom to turn who was capable
of unrayeling the talgle. At length
somebody remarked tat there was one
small section of the country in which
things seemed to be going right. In
auiry was made, and t was found that
the lines over whichSerge Witte had
control were running with no bitches,
that difficulties passd on to Witte by
officials elsewhere wee being straight
ened out. What to 70 was obvious.
Witte was summonedto st. Petersburg
and returned to the Cimea with greatly
extended powers. He was stationed at
Odessa. and in shor time things were
running with machile-like precision. .
Witte was now III longer obscure,
was coming to the foe rapidly. Again
disaster quickened tie progress. An
accident to train arrying the czar

Three Propositions Remain.

Three propositions of moro or less
importance are still to be considered
before adjournment a can be reached, but
it is believed that all matters will be
cleared up during the week unless un.
expected differences Of opinion should
arise to prolong the session. The GU.
mulative primary election scheme ad-
vocated in the governors message, the
legislation empowering an investiga
ton of the expenditures Of railroads
and insurance companies for political
purposes, and the amendments to the
rate commission law, constitute prac-
! ticallE all there is before the lepiala
ture for consideration, although OF
course the governor may message the
legislature upon subject matter CON
tanned in his call for the session. OF
the three propositions, the legislature
up TO this time has given little consid-
Grafton to the project authorizing an
investigation of the corporations, and

Talk of Second Extra Session.
Some of the senator's take the view
that possibly an extra session should
be called for the specific purpose Of
making an appropriation Immediately
upon the adjournment Of this session
to make the appropriation and also
amend the laws taking away the power
of the university to incur indebtedness
of whatever nature. The suggestion Is
also made that some provision should
be made to have the governor approve
the university budget before it comes
to the legislature for ratification, and
it is likely that the holdoYer members
or those who are reelected Will take the
matter up in the next general session
There is no attempt at sensationalism
although there is enough gossip in
and around Madison to base an eXami-
nation upon if the legislature felt dis
posed to accept gossip and rumor in
stead Of facts.

RISK PROBE LIKELY
pAHL'S RESOLUTION IN WISCON
SIN LEGISLATURE.
SHAFT AIMED AT RAILWAYS
Avenues of Commerce Included i'll
Resolution, Which Provides for
Thorough Investigation of
Public Corporations.

CIV. w Garrison, Staff Correspondent
Madison, Wis, Dec 14.-According to
the present outlook the success of the
proposition for a legislative insurance
investigating committee, introduced in
the shape of resolution by Assembly
man A. II. Dahl, of Westby, seems likely.
Besides the risk companies, railroads
and public service corporations of all
kinds will be probed if Dahl's PROPOSE.
ton carries. Their methods and ex-
penditures will be delved into, according
to the clauses of the resolution, by a
committee amply empowered, which
will report the fruits of their labor Feb
ruary /, 1907. The resolution is, in
part, as follows: 1T shall be the duty
of the committee to make thorough ex-
animation and investigation as to the
methods of doing business employed by
such insurance and public service cor
porations; to examine into and investi-
gate their expenditures in all matters.
among other things, to examine and in
yestigate the expenditures incurred IN
employing legislative and municipal
lobbyists in making payment of contri-
buttons to candidates, committees or
others to be used for political campaign
purposes, in paying wages, salaries and
expenses of officers, agents, attorneys
and employees, to examine into and in
vestigate all preferences of every kind
extended or offered by any public serv-
ice corporation to any favored person or
corporation. They may also either as a
committee or through proper person au-
thorized by them examine all books,
papers, documents and records of in
surance and public service corporations
or of these corporations or persons deal
ing with such corporations, and may do
all other things which may to them ap-
pear necessary or convenient to make
full examination and investigation as
directed herein
Amendments to the Plan.
The bright outlook for a legislative
probe of insurance companies in Wis
consin was furthered when the assem-
bly, adopted the Dahl resolution with
an amendment providing that instead
of reporting on November /, 1906. the
fruits of the probe should be presented
to the solons on February /, 1907, thus
giving the committee ample time in
which to compile its report and render
advice for legislation, before the ses-
sion adjourned. Mr.. Bradford's amend
ment, making it include beyond all
question of doubt the affairs of the
Wisconsin Republican league of sew
cral years ago, was also adopted The
purpose is to find out if the railroads
or other corporations made any cam
paign contributions to the oredniza
ton. The resolution was passed to the
senate.

The careless observer might call
Witte physically a commonplace per-
son, a big man of slouchy carriage, or
dinary features, sleepy, bored-looking
eyes. But in suite OF commonplacenesS
of appearance, the man after all appears
individual, striking. noticeable. That
unmistakable quality called force has
marked him for its own, wherever he
goes he stands apart, man to be count
ed upon, q man pot to be downed
III most interesting article in the
,ew York Times under the interesting
tile: Rise of Count Witte-A Ro-
nance of History" the writer says in
mis- introduction: when Serge Iule-
witch Witte was born at Tif1is 56 years
ago he was blessed by two fairies who
seldom combine their gifts, the Fairy
who gives Forcefulness and the Fairy
who confers Opportunity. Very seldom,
perhaps once in single century,
do these two fairies take a child
under their protection, and when this
happens that child no matter what his
restraints Lis handicaps, his lack OF
nose lulHSS lHdt uidhc loi SuSeooo, .oii

against him"
We like this explanation of this great
mans marvellous rise from obscurity to
first statesman of Russia-of the day,
of the century--we all carry along with
advancing years belief in those cradle
fairies belief that great men are born,
not made And this picture of the two
gifts of Genius and Opportunity is
doubly interesting.
We must not exaggerate the picture

THAI have risen from lowest origin.
His father was an official, his mother
connected with one of the oldest of Rus
sian noble families. But it is true TO
say they were obscure, the father but q
minor official. And when Witte mar
ried and chose as wife a Jewess, mem
b of the race so unpopular, so despised,
understand that he rather seriously
Handicapped himself socially.
Ii early days there seemed nothing
TO look forward TO beyond small posi-
ton in small town; it is probable
when young Witte became a student at
the University of Odessa he had in view
some professorship as his place in life.
But he was not destined to the teaching
profession not destined to the small
town vas to deal with large matters,
have grasp of wide empire. Witte
was born way down in Trans-Caucasia,
and after graduation from the Uniyer-
sity of Odessa entered the service of a
railway in the south Of Russia The
railway company was owned by the Rus
sian Steamship company. a company
that from the first seemed to appreciate
the abilities of this particular young
man in its employ, for he was advanced
from post to post. at length became
general superintendent
But all was not TO be smooth sailing,
serious accident occurred on the rail
way. the superintendent was held ac-
countable and summoned to St Peters
burg TO give evidence at an official in
vestigatiOn. As happens occasionally
failure led to success. The officials OF
the ministry of finance were impressed
as were tie newspaper men at Hobo
ken-by the forcefulness of the man
Witte. They pressed acquaintance with
him, their faith rose; he was offered
