st. Petersburg.-While Russia is a
frequent and large borrower among
the nations Of the earth, Emperor
Nicholas, according to a statement
presented to his majesty by the impe-
rial treasurer general. is the richest
man in the world. The statement Is
couched in fanciful language, but the
facts which 1t recites are said by St.
Petersburg bankers to be beyond dis
pute.
"Your majesty" says Baron Menchi-
koff, need have no fear OF ever com
ing to suffer the stings of poverty.
Financially you are solvency itself.
With one hand you could buy out the
American multimillionaires, Rockefel-
