W|TTE, Who MAY Be

Great Minister of Finance the Maker of Modern Russia
Who Made Grand Duke Apologze-His Sympa-

Those of the Common People-Some 81.

forced the Grand Duke Michael,
brother of the car and then heir
apparent to the throne, to apologize
to him for an afront. Russia has
recognized his mighty power.
Now it is reported that the car
is about to make him practically
dictator
1'eh important little social incident
happened about three years ago. At

gathered around the grand duke.
Next day M. Witte laid the facts
before the car. Because. in his ca

refused the grand duke certain large
loans. the latter had politically in

apologized and made attonement as
public as the insult, he would, he

dignity that hedges the imperial fam

But the car would not dispense

modern Russia. the handspring of

cial activity He sent for his brother
and talked to him privately. When
they returned to the room in which
NJ. Witte was waiting, the grand
duke apologized freely and graciously.
At the next couSt function, he made
a point of greeting the finance minis
ter warmly before the latter had
time to bow to him. Then the high
officials fawned upon him once more.
1t is evident that the man who can

of the car, who called him to st.
Petersburg, personally thanked him
and gave him a high position in the
government railway service. In a
few years. he became director of the
Russian southwestern railway; two
years latter head of the department
and then, by rapid promotion, minist-
er of means of communication, min
lister of finance, and finally, a Year,
ago, imperial chancellor.
NJ. Whites work of developing
Russia's material resources and Ia
tent strength has been phenomenal.
In 1900 the value of Russian indust-
ries had increased within 20 years
from Al, 100000 to 1916, 100000 rou-
bles. When the public debt was over
f40O, 100000 and the finances were
none too prosperous, he did not fear
to add f250,00O,O00 to that debt for
the purchase of existing railways
and the building of new roads.
The military party headed by Gen.
Kuropatkin, NJ. Whites greatest po-
litical enemy. objected strenuously
to so much money being spent for
railways. They wanted it spent for
more soldiers.
But what is the good of having
soldiers" NJ. WHITE argued, 'if you
cannot move them? By giving you
railways / multiply each one of your
soldiers by ten
His sympathies have ever been
closely allied with those of the COM
mon people, from whom he came.
In 1892 he took a daring step in ap-
pointing committees to investigate
the acute agricultural and industrial
condition of Russia. Under his guild
ance a long list of proposed reforms
was made up, even advocating start
ling constitutional changes in the di-
rection of democracy. The bureau
cratic system of the government and
the crushing burdens Of military SER
vice and indirect taxation were bit
terly complained Of
The Russian bureaucrats were
aghast at the audacity of such re-
port, especially when M. Witte sent
it to the car with his strong in
dorsement All his enemies united
to seze the chance to crush him,
and it seemed for time as If they
had achieved their purpose. He fell
out of favor, and had to resign some
of his Offices
NJ. de Plehve, the reactionary min
lister of the interior declared that
such discussion of public affairs was
Revolutionary" and even went the
length OF imprisoning some of M.
Whites committeeman. But evidently
the czar discovered that he could not
do without his wizard of finance.
M. Witte was restored to office and
promoted to the post of imperial
chancellor-the greatest in all Rus
sias excepting only that of the mon
arch.

the second object ball. driving the

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30.-Devo-
tees of the game of biff already are
figuring on the probable outcome of
the second meeting of Nelson and
Corbett, which will take place in the
latter part of February, and this with
the HylandNel mill still to be de-
cided. Corbett, despite his defeat
at the hands of Britt and the Great
Dane, retains practically all of his old
popularity and is adding to it by the
earnestness he is displaying in his
training for next months affair. So
many of his followers are convinced
that he was terribly out of condition
when he was put away by Nelson
that the belief that the Denver boy
will be the favorite over the cham
pion of Hegewisch Is taking root.
Corbett is a magnetic little chap, his
| one great fault being his tremendous
conceit. In great measure, this
has been knocked out of him, as has
his overweening confidence in his
ability to train on champagne and
after-theater suppers and continue in
championship form. A more spectac-
ular battle than the Britt-Nelscn
fight is anticipated when Corbett and
Nelson again hook up and unless Nell
son shows a vast improvement he will
not have the easy time he had in
their first contest
o o o
Interest in the Hyland-Neil fight
continues. Hyland is gaining adj
mirers, and, although he will be the
hort-ender, he will have plenty of
hackers. His system of work in
training impresses the old-timers as
being the sort that marks a champion
and many are convinced that he will
take Neil's measure. Neil will be as
fit as he was when he whipped Harry
Forbes and won the championship
His famous left body punch is in
fine working order and the little fell
low looks to it to bring home the
money without much trouble. The
boys will ostensibly fight for the
American bantam championship, but
the weight is 1872.
