SERGTTS De nITTE.

There is no man Of prominence in Russia
whose doings are more speculated upon than
are those Of Mr.. de Witte and there is prob
tance TO the welfare Of the empire than is he.
One day we hear that he is out Of Office and is
political nonentity; the next day that he is the
supreme power behind the throne. No such
treme statement is probably correct. Whether
the trend of affairs is toward the one or the
other is not eonvincingly apparent; but what
ever may be the future of that remarkable man.
II is well 10 keep secure and distinct in mind
what has been Mr.. de Whites past in respect 10
the things which now involve the fate of Rus
sia We have recently and repeatedly recalled
his attitude toward domestic reforms. Ia which
he earnestly favored conservative concessions
and progress toward an enlightened representa-
tive government and his brave warning to the
Car that il the government did not move in
that direction the people would soon rise and
take matters into their own hands. Let us also
recall his attitude toward the East Asian cam
palgn. which IS proving costly 10 Russia.
A Russian Observer at ST Petersburg writes
10 The London Times what Is doubtless an
accurate statement upon that subject. He de-
clares that Mr. de- Witte was always opposed
10 the Russian occupation Of Port Arthur and
10 the extension OF The Manchuran Railroad
thither. He was opposed to any Russian march
TO Peking, and urged the evacuation OF Man
ehuria as soon as the Boxer outbreak had been
suppressed. He was opposed To operations on
the faiu River and 10 the seeking of Russian
concessions In Corea. He favored making a

H4RBOR NEEDS.

The needs of New-York Harbor are not many,
but they are urgent. Nature did so much for
the place in the beginning that mans sins of
omission and Of commission have not been
able 10 destroy its pre-eminent advantages.
For moro than a century the national gov
erument has pursued policy Of neglect

amounts for the Improvement OF unheard-of
creeks aud coves IN out of the way places.
while reluctantly giving comparatively trihlng
sums for the maintenance and Improvement
Of the port which has handled more than
half the commerce Of the nation and has
poured into the national treasury much more
than half its total revenues from customs
This strange attitude Of Congress has been,
as have hitherto said largely the fault Of
New-Goril itself, city and State. 1t was en-
tirely the fault Of New-York itself that for
many gears the refuse Of the city streets was
dumped into the harbor. as if with malign in

Deeper water and more dock room are two

treotv with Japan years ago. ana IN the negotia-
tlons which Immediately preceded the war he
favored the acceptance of Japans proposals. In
brief ne was opposed to the whole aggressive
polic, of Viceroy Alexeff and to the sOrlid
snocnlations of Alexief's friend Bezobrazoff-
70 the whole policy which provoked the present
ruipous war 1t was because of that attitude
tbat hr was compelled to retire from the place at
tbe head Of the treasury, in which he had been
of so great service to Russia.
In this view of the case ii is easy to under
stand how offensive Mr. de Wittc is to the whole
war party nj St Petersburg, and how difficult,
if not impossible it is for him to resume a really
important place in the government while the
present fight to a finish" policy prevails. But
il is probable that there are times, and many Of
them when the Car recalls the antebellum-
and anti-belum- advice of his great Minister
and bitterly regrets that it was not needed and
adopted. Certainly he must regard Mr.. de Witte
with far more confidence and gratitude than
he does Admiral AleXief or any Of those who
forced him and his empire into the present dis
astrOuS plight in the Far East. 1t does not now
seem possible that there can be any political re-
Mobilization of Alexien and BezObraZOf. but it is
