lumbar exposition and commanded the
Russian fleet that participated in the ma
val review at New York. Alexander is
one Of the ablest of the imperial family a
profound student and scientist, but ex-
tremely conservative in his views, and a
stanch defender of the autocracy. While
inspector general of the Russian navy be-
fore the war with Japan, his criticisms Of
its condition caused a quarrel with his
uncle Alexis. who was admiral in chief.
The emperor supported Alexis. but could
not very well turn down Alexander. for
the latter is the husband of his sister,
Xenia, his favorite Of all the family. So
he created new department of the gov
eminent to take over all matters concern
ing the mercantile marine, and placed AL
exander at the head of 1t. The new line Of
steamers between Libau and New York is
one of Alexanders ideas. and he did a
sTeat deal to develop Russian commerce.
The disclosures of the rottenness Of the
navy indicated Alexander whea it was
too late to do any good, but the cA..-- rec
ognized the propriety Of doing something
to compensate for his humiliation, and
made him commander-in-chief in the place
of his uncle Alexis.
Very little has been done to restore the
navy. Five battleships, four cruisers.
seven gunboats and thirty-1ve torpedo
boats are under construction. but 1t will
be several years before they are ready for
eea. Russia has no money to spend on
navies at this time.

W. E. MARSHALL DEAD.
Noted Artist and Engraver Of Por-
traits Expired In Studio.

William Edgar Marshall, an artist and
engraver Of portraits of many famous men,
died early yesterday from pneumonia in
the quaint studio on the top floor Of III
Broadway. New York, where he had lived
for more than forty years. His funeral
will be in All Souls Church on Saturday.
His body remained yesterday in the studio.
surrounded by the paintings and engravings
which represented his life work.
Mr.. Marshall was born in New York In
1886. being the son Of Francis Marshall. a
Scotchman. who came to this city to get
employment as q stonemason and founded
the contracting firm of Marshall. Bates &
Co., which built the custom house In Wall
street, the Astor House and many other
large buildings Of the city many years ago.
After attending q public school near his
home In varick street several years. Mr..
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-08-30

Marshall went to Chicago and remained
there until he was seventeen. Coming back
to New York at that age. he obtained en-
ployment as an engraver in a watch case
factory, but in a few years he tired of en-
craving geometrical designs on watch cases
and began to try his band at steel plate
engraving in his spare time.
An application for an apprenticeship In a
bank note company was made on his behalf
by Cyrus Durand, an engraver, in 1856,
when the Northumberland campaign
was attracting much interest in the city.
The bank note company declined to consider
the application. At Mr.. Durand's sugges-
ton, young Marshall in his spare time
made steel plate engraving of Buchanan,
and Mr.. Durand sold 1t to the company as
the work Of an unnamed engraver for $40.
Mr.. Marshall then engraved a portrait of
Gen. Fremont, which the company readily
bought for $50. The bank note company was
told that the engravings were the work of
the youth who had failed to get an appren-
ticeShip with the company. The RESULT was
that Mr.. Marshall obtained good position
with the company and became its best en-
graver.
Soon after the outbreak of the civil war
Mr.. Marshall went to Paris to study paint
ing, In which he had dabbled little. He
had become known favorably as the en-
graver of Stuarts portrait of Washing
ton and of Elliott's portrait Of James Feni-
more Cooper, his engravings of the Wash
ington portrait having a wide circulation.
Two of his paintings in Paris were ac-
cepted for exhibition in the French annual
exposition of art in 1854. He returned to
this city Immediately after the assassina-
ton of President Lincoln and began work
on his portrait engraving of Lincoln which
had an enormous sale, copies being bought
in all parts of the country.
For some years Mr.. Marshall lived In
Boston, where he painted portraits of Haw-
thorne, Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes
and Charles A. Dana. Then he moved into
the Broadway studio which became his
permanent home. There he painted por-
traits of President Grant, Gen. Sherman,
Henry Ward Beecher. c. p Huntington.
Chauncey NJ. Depew, Thomas B. Reed.
Monsignor Doane, la. A. Hanna. James 9.
Blaine and other prominent Americans. He
made engravings of the portraits of Grant.
Sherman, Huntington and Doane, copies OF
which had wide circulation.
For many years Mr.. Marshal worked on
a colossal head of Christ, making first
charcoal sketch, then a plaster cast. then
q painting. and finally an engraving, ali OF
which are In the studio. A photograph OF
the engraving was reproduced recently IN
the Sunday supplement OF the Tribune. MI

over the telephone which was SO dinerent
from the version given by Mr.. SedelnlkoH
that he was inclined to suspect that the
gentleman had been confused in his excite
ment.
This suggestion was very unfortunate
for the Cossack deputies, the LABOR group
chose to interpret it as questioning the
truthfulness of their colleague: Tremen-
dous excitement ensued. Alladin, the
labor agitator sprang upon his chair and
shouted a threat that If any other member
of the duma was assaulted the ministers
would have to pay for IT with thelr hveS
At this Mr.. Stolypin left the chamber FOL
lowed by boots and jeers. Several gentle.
men made prudent speeches and endeavored
to cool down their colleagues. but the
Cossack members would not be suppressed.
and the whole question was dragged into
the debate.
No Police Work for Them.
The Cossack deputies all declared that
their constituents in the army were willing
to perform any military duty that the car
might impose upon them and that any
allegations to the contrary were mendacious
lies. but they were not willing to do the
work for which the police were employed
and paid and which they were too cowardly
or stupid to perform.
Mr.. Arakantseff. who Is perhaps the ablest
of the twelve Cossack representatives in the
late duma. asserted that his people had
suffered from the bureaucracy as much as
the rest of the nation. They had been de-
prived of their free. institutions and de-
graded into mere bondsmen ana 70
gromshchiks," he said, but the instincts
which had always characterized their race
were reassertipg themselves. The Cossacks
in the army were beginning to feel that
their situation was hateful; they were be-
ginning to loathe the degrading duty i'm
posed upon them. and bitterly realized the
hardship of being compelled to leave their
homes and families to perform the inglo-
rious mission Of fighting against their own
fellow citizens and suppressing their pa.
triotic efforts to obtain civil and political
freedom. He appealed to his fellow mem
bers OF the durna not to condemn the Cos
sack soldiers who had been aiding the
police because they had done so under the
mistaken idea that they were performing
their duty to the GEAR.

Of Russia
A Clannish Crowd.
AS might be expected, the Sedelnikoff
episode and the debate it provoked excited
a vivid interest among the Cossack SOL
diers. who are very clannish. The men,
bers of the radical parties. particularly
the revolutionary element. took particular
pains that verbatim reports Of the speeches
were furnished in large numbers to the
Cossack garrisons throughout the empire
They followed up the incident with great
energy. 1t gave them chance to strike
at the most vital spot in the Russian MILL
tary system, for the Cossacks are the last
and only defenders of the throne.
The effect has not yet become apparent
The consequences have not developed at
this writing, but certainly the experience
of Mr. Sedelnikoff and the speeches of his
Cossack colleagues are not likely to slim
ulate the loyalty and the obedience OF the
Cossack soldiers.

but did not live happily with his wife. and
