STATESMAN |
M. SERGIUS WITTE A SELF
MADE MAN.
The Chief Peace Envoy Conserva-
tive Liberal-The Gear Reluctant
to Appoint Him-Able Min
lister Of Finance.

The man that succeeds NJ Muravieff
as chief peace envoy is Russia's leading
liberal statesman. M. Witte once was
a poorly-paid railroad clerk-it is said
he may have acted occasionally as rail
way porter; to-day he is president Of
the council of ministers. Also, he bears
the title of count, bestowed upon him
in 1901.
A distinctly self-made man is Sergius
Witte, who comes to America with
plenary powers in the settlement of
peace between Russia and Japan. He
is now Sc years old, a big, powerful man
physically, a powerful man politically.
For several years he has been one of the
strongest men in the Russian bureau
crazy, and, as is often very true Of
strong men, the target Of attack Of nu-
merOus enemies.
His power has been threatened again
and again, and many weaker man
would have given the fight up long ago.
In 1903 he was forced to resign the port
folio of minister of finance, and when
he assumed the duties of his next post,
that of president of the council of min
listers, gradually the Importance of the
office was lessened. Repeatedly the pa
pers announced him on the point OF
handing in his resignation, turning his
back on Russia and public service to
her; but he stayed on through chang
ing sentiment, and to-day is hOnored
with the appointment of chief of the
peace commission.
Both friends and enemies acknOWl-
edge Sergius White a man of rugged
honesty and marked ability. He is con-
sidered the right man for the present
important mission; is perfectly familiar
with the Japanese position, was one Of
the men that foresaw Japan was being
goaded to war, and it was his frankness
in expressing disapproval of. the Rus
sian policy in the east that caused his
removal as minister of finance. 1t is
declared that when at last, after various
attempts to get a satisfactory man to
represent Russia at the peace mission,
M. Witte was named, he fatty refused
to undertake the work unless given full
powers to complete the negotiations.
Count Lamsdorff early suggested M.
Witte, but the emperor was slow to
make the appointment. For months
the car and liberal statesman have been
out of harmony; an editorial in the
Chicago Record-Herald sums up the dis
cord in this fashion: "Witte, it seems
had been recommended for the delicate
and important office, but the emperor
had received this advice coldly and sui
lenly, perhaps because Witte had been
for months, through an organ supposed
to represent him, a free and outspoken
critic of the bureaucratic bunglers and
marplots, and because he was originally
opposed to the whole reactionary and
aggressive policy of Plehve, Alexieff &
Co..
Sergius White is by no means an ad-
vanced liberal, but he does not belong
