GREAT RAILROAD GENIUS His Remarkable Work ~in « Russo-Turkish War—A Brilliant Financier, LONDON, March 18,—Count Ser- gius Julovich Witte, Russia's first Prime Minister, died last night, says a Petrograd despatch to Reuter's Telegram Company. He had been sick only a week. Sergius Witte, the man who was responsible for Russia's diplomatic victory over&he Japanese in the fa- mous treaty of Portsmouth, but who later came under the displeasure of the Czar, was born in Tifiis, the cap- ital of the Caucasus, in 1849, of a wealthy but not noble family. His mother was a member of, the DolgoGki family, which founded the city of Moscow. At twenty-one he was graduated from the University of Odessa, takfng firet honors. He started his career as a railroad freight clerk in Southern Russia in 1877, rising rapidly to the grade of general superintendent. As a result of an accident on the line for which he was held responsible, he was eum- moned to St, Peterab: for an of- ficial investigation, and there made such an impression on the Minister of Finance that a far better railroad post was given him, During the Russo-Turkish war there was such an exhfbition of in- competency in the railroad service that Witte was called in to save the situation, He moved the Russian troops into the Crimea so well that he was soon the highest ratiroad of- ficial in Russia, “ After the war he was ordered to St. Petersburg and jastructed to pre- pare a scheme fof the unificgtion of the traffic of the empire. His ob- scure birth and his marriage to an Odessa Jewess greatly retarded bim, however, in the Russian capital.

The total abolition of the sale of vodka in Russia since the beginning of the present war ts laid to the in- fluence of Count Witte.
