Tried to Make Himself Useful in
Political Field-Not a Jour-
nalistic Edition.

PARIS. Oct. H.-Admiral Alex;ef for
mer governor in the Far East. IS bit
teriy complaining of the hard blows
which fate has struck him.
Gone is his dream of becoming an Al
mighty viceroy in the Far East. of ar
ranging feasts in Port Arthur TO which
the Russian men-of-war had to bring
flowers and all kinds of Iuxur,es from
Shanghai. being fit for nothing else IN
his eyes and only because of the powsr-
full influences behind him did the aani-
raj escape being tried for having used
money intended for strengthening tho
fortifications of Port Arthur for mr.
poses of his own.
In Political Field.
When the viceroy had returned from
the Far East and the Car and his
advisers had been persuaded to believe
his assurances that the war must short
ly'end with a decisive victory for Rms
sia' he decided TO make himself useful
In the political field and fight the jap
anese with the pen. so he formed the
idea of founding a new telegraphic
agency, and. like the Japanese. who
used the English press in a very clever
manner. send out to the press of the
world news which hurt the cause of
Japan and increase the prestige of Rus
sia- whether he had the approval of
the Car in this is not known. though
his plan was no secret to the minister
OF foreign affairs
TO manage this agency Alexies soon
found the right man in the former Ser
Wan consul 70 Moscow, NJ. Tscherep
Spirlidowitsch. who had been expelled
from Russia by the late NJ. Plehve. be-
cause OF his trafhcking in orders. but
VINO had been allowed to return. and
VINO at the time the ex-viceroy found him
was engaged in the honorable occupa-
ton of trying to blackmail the wives of
the rich Moscow merchants.

To the people of Russia the existence
OF the agency remained a secret until
IL printed a dispatch stating that II had
proof that England and Japan had
spent 100000 rubles in endeayoring tn

revolution against the Car. The late
Grand Duke Serge had this telegram
posted on all street corners in Moscow
but unpleasant consequences were not
slow in following.
The English ambassador at ST Pc
tersburg made a strong protest TO the
Russian minister of foreign affairs and
demanded that the dispatch be removed
from the billboards and officially denied
Neither was done until after a second
protest and then the Russian clergy had
already used it as n means of exciting
the masses against England. and again
protest was made.
But the worst was yet to come for
AIexief. Realizing that here was a
chance TO turn an honest ruble, NJ.
Tscherep. the manager of the ..Agencie

the expense OF procuring the dispatch
had amounted TO 100000 and unless he
was reimbursed the Czar would be in

methods.
Poor Alexief swore and went to Paris

but he changed his mind and paid, and
