New York. Jan. 1O.L"The car Of
all the Russians sends to his Ameri-
can brothers greetings of peace and
good will, and asks of them justice
and friendship in return for Rus
sia's kindly feelings toward them"
Nine. Goriachkowskaja-A ia -Alexeeva, a
distinguished Russian literary wom-
an, has been especially sent by the
Novoe Vremya, the official organ of
the czar, to carry this message, and
to return to the czar with reports
on the social and political conditions
here, with especial reference to Rus
sian emigrants.
Nine. Alexeeva has been in New
York six weeks studying conditions
in the Russian and Jewish quarters
and is now preparing her report
She is a woman of twenty-eight years
and has been travelling in many
countries with her baby and her hus-
band, who is military medical
court councillor.
She converses fluently in several
languages and was for three years
sub-secretary to the Grand Duchess
Alexandra Petrovna, the aunt of the
czar. She finds that Russian emil
grants are, much worse off in AM
erica than they are at home.
Il am in America both to teach
and to learn said Nine. Alexeeva to
reporter yesterday at her home.
249 East Seven ty-second street; the
many articles that are constantly ap-
pearing in the American papers
against Russia are a source of much
grief to the. czar who admires Ann
erica intensely. He cannot under
stand why it is that when Russia has
stood as the friend of America for so
many years there was nothing but
hate for Russia and sympathy in Am
erica for Japan in the late war.
Ready to Aid America.
THE feeling among Russians Of
all classes for America Is so differ
ent that when there were rumors Of
war between the United States and
Japan 100000 common soldiers and
5000 officers at once volunteered their
services to fight for the Americans.
And should America have need of
them they are still ready TO come to
your aid at once. They would have
the czar's support in doing so. He
is sure that the American hatred is
because Russia has been misrepre-
sented to America by all the socialists
and The ignorant emigrants who have
crowded to your shores. AS a mat
ter of fact. there is no real revolu-
ton in Russia, and has not been.
There is a considerable number of
professional agitators and assassins
oil tG
impractical visionaries often, TO be
lieve the time has come to strike for
liberty.
The japanese war made the czar
realize that his domain was too big
for one man TO control with justice
to all its needs, therefore he called
the first DOuma. 1t accomplished
nothing. The most serious effort Of
the second was TO plot the death Of
the czar. What the third will ac-
complish remains to be seen.
Look for a Model Here.
We look to America in many ways
to show US the model for our own
soyernment only one thing seems
TO Russia as yet unsolved in Amerl-
ca. That is the real Capitalization
Of the nation. Millions of dollars are
spent, and In the end, what? Either
the same man is elected or one who
does not change the government one
bit.
1--WE look to see America outgrow
all that and have a central govern
ment whose head does not change
every few years, and a central bank
Ing system. Then they really will be
united states"
Nine. Alexeeva will remain in New
York some weeks. She will visit the
immi grafton bureau at Washing on
snd other parts OF the country.
