fanatical followers are called, were only
recently prevented from sacrificing in his
honor an honest woman, forty-one years
old and the mother of five children. The
woman herself was not only willing but
eager to die for her faith. Her husband
considered 1t a favor from heaven that

about 10000 copies, and they carried a good

ignorant classes regard as saint and able

Pobiedonosteff appears to believe in him
implicitly, and 1t was through his advice
that the emperor and empress applied for

them In securing male heir to the throne.

Ing He has settled several very serious
family quarrels, and has been the habitual
adviser on family matters ever since the
marriage of Alexander II to the Princess
Dolgorouk. at which he was present. He
has been consulted by three cZars upon all
subjects, and, while his advice is not al

him of any but the most disinterested and

Would Have the World Stand Still.
Pobiedonosteff does not belong to this
generation. He is curious survival or re-
vival would perhaps be the better word Of
old Russia-a type of the fifteenth CEN
fury statesman, the most extreme reac-
tionary in all the empire, the most conser-
yative of conservatives. who resists all in
novations and believes that progress is con-
trary to the well being OF man. He would
prefer to have the world stand still.
This remarkable person will be seventy
nine years of age in August, but he looks as
II he might be 80 years old, bald, sallow,
wrinkled and dry, with a thin fringe of
white beard encrcling his face from in
front of his ears His spare, bent frame Is
always dressed In black broadcloth, and,
with tall silk hat, he looks exactly what
he Is. a scholar and theologian. He has
quick, nervous manner, and large pair of
glasses with tortoise shell rims that do not
conceal the shrewd, penetrating power of
his eyes. He is said to be a charming con-
versationalist when he chooses to please.
His marvellous memory WILDLY recalls excit-
Ing scenes which he has witnessed and he
portray the personal appearance and
characteristics of all the great Russians
who have participated in the history of the
last half century.
Pobiedonosteff is not clergyman, but a
lawyer. although he has the reputation of
being the abest theologian in Russia and
exercises autocratic power in the affairs of
the orthodox Greek Church. He has writ
ten several books. most of them on legal
subjects His latest, The Reflections of a
Russian Statesman" has recently been
translated into English. All of his other
works are published in German and
French, for. before he became a member of
the government he was a professor in the
University of Moscow, and his reputation
extended all over Europe. He was regarded
as one of the highest authorities on juris-
prudence. He also had n reputation as a
brilliant speaker. He left the faculty Of
the university to train Alexander III for
the throne, and has since bben more closely
attached to the Romanof family than any
other man. No other adviser has lasted SO
long; no other prop to the throne has ever
been so firm and unyleding, and 1t is,
therefore, perfectly natural that his infiu-
ence should be greater than that of any
other man.

Opposed to Popular Education.

OppOSCo " = oPoA~A ASN~S~s~S~~'
Pobiedonostseff does not believe in edu-
cation. He says in one Of his books: why
should peasants learn to read? II they do
thew will read bad books, which will not
only make them discontented and immoral,
hut will imperiI their souls"
He does not believe in newspapers-in
another of his books he says: Art is sensu-
aIism: the press is prostitution. We need
none of those evils in Russia"
Some years ago he had Tolstoy, the Ia
NOUS novelist, accommodated from the
church because of the immoral tone OF his
hooks. 1t was he, who in 1887 wrote the
celebrated decree closing the schools OF
Russia against the children of all families
who did not have q certain income. on the
ground that education bred discomfort
among the poor. He Is not unfriendly to-
ward the peasantse but considers ignorance
their best protection. He argues that 1t IL
not necessary for them to know anything.
The priests can tell them all that is neces-
nary Several times he has instructed the
priests to prohibit the circulation of books
common people, and has always admonish-
ed them to teach the peasants that they
have only to obey God and the car and do
what their priests tell them.
His attitude toward his sovereign Is ex-
pressed In the following address which he
handed to the car at the beginning of the
war with japan, and he has never yet
been able to understand why the Almighty

Procurator Of the Holy Synod.


He became procurator OF the holy synod
In 1880, and has since held that position,
which would correspond to that of the min
lister OF religion In other cabinets. He
represents the car in the church. and the
church in the cabinet, and is the legal ad-
wiser OF the metropolitan or chief priest.
But in addition to these responsibilities he
has acquired for himself the authority, in
the name Of the car, of course, to appoint
all archbishops, bishops and members of
the hierarchy. This authority gives him
an extraordinary influence, because every
one OF the hundreds OF thousands of priests
of the Orthodox Church desires his favor
and recognition and is naturally willing to
earn IL.
Pobiedonostseff believes In the divine
right of kings and that the car Is the
Lords amounted. He is convinced that the
best form OF government Is an absolute
despotism, and In the present case argues
that the duty of the car is to preserve I'M
tainted and unaltered the customs, tradi-
lions and methods of administration as we'll
as the policy of his ancestors. To impair or
discard any of them would be sacrilege To
relinquish particle of the autocracy would
be blasphemy against the Almighty who
conferred the duty and responsibility of an
autocrat upon him. 1t also would reflect
upon the sacred memory of his father and
grandfather and all his ancestors back to
Peter the Great.
At meeting of the cabinet on the 18th
Of December last, when the plan for a
duma was under consideration, he asserted
that the car had no right to share the
government with representatives of the
people. God had endowed him with the
power he possessed, and he must retain 1,
or offend God. II the car should renounce
the autocracy. religion and morality would
suffer, the people would fall into sin and
return TO barbarism. Several Of the other
ministers tried In vain to convince the
eminent scholar and statesman that his
argument was absurd, and Count de White
hdulged in a little sarcasm at his ex-
Dsnse,

Influence Of Pobiedonostseff.
This illustrates the character Of the man
who has more influence than any other
over the czar today, and he Is chiefly re-
sponsible for the latter's vacillation in his
policy toward the duma and his failure to
carry out his own pledges to the people
Wise and progressive advisers and the
cars own natural instincts, sometimes
convince him that it Is his duty to follow a
certain course. Then Pobiedonostseff comes
in with his medieval notions and fanatical
ideas, and throws the wohle machinery out
of gear
It is due to his Interference that the car
has not carried out the promises made to
he has Issued. Nicholas has made them in
good faith, but PobiedonostseH has after
ward convinced him that they are wrong
and has left his majesty In an uncertain
