DE TCHEBEP-SPIBIDOVrrCII Remarkable Career of Fearless Bos* si an Called the Slavonic BismarckFirst Visit to America. Gen. Count Arthur de Tcherep-Splrldovitch is a guest at' the New Willard. A Star reporter who called at the hotel quickiv loomo/i that visitor from Russia is a most entertaining talker. The general came here to present a testimonial cup to President Roosevelt from the Slavic Society of Moscow. He was formally presented at the White House last Saturday, and the presentatioa was delayed because the cup had to be sent hack from Paris to Moscow to have some enamel reset which had been displaced during the journey. In that connection an idea of the intricate and delicate workmanship of the gift is conveyed by the fact that the general could find no artisan in Paris to do the required work, hence the necessity lor sending the cup back to the Moscow silversmiths and awaiting its final shipment and arrival in Washington. Gen. Count Arthur de Tcherep Spiridovitch arrived in this country from Moscow, Russia, about ten days ago. This is~Kis first visit to the United States, and. al General Count Tcheret Stiridovitch.

In another direction his energy and connections in Slavic lands pointed him out to the suffrages of that influential Slavic Society of Moscow, of which he has been unanimously re-elected president for a further term of three years. Since 1899 he has assumed the functions of Servian consul at Moscow. As an intimate friend of the deceased King Alexander he severely blamed, in a vehement speech before the Slavic Society, the odious murder of this prince, in whose memory caused several masses to be celebrated.

A representative of The Star was fortunate in securing an interview with the count at the New Willard. He is a most entertaining talker, and, despite the fact that he speaks English with some embarrassment to himself, recoynts In ji most graphic and interesting manner incidents in his active and heroic life. Though yet a comparatively young man, he talks like a man of ripened years and his brilliant achievements in the navai and diplomatic life of his country read like a page from the life of the knights of old. Gen. Tcherep-Splridovltch is descended from the former l)uk?S of Lithuania, who took part on July 15, 1410, In the famous battle of Grunwald-Tannenberg, where 160.(Xi0 men met with their death and which arrested for 500 years the Germanic invasion of the Slavic countries. In memory of the bravery displayed by the brothers de Spiridovitch. of whom two were killed on that day, the survivor received the name of Tcherep (The Daring), which his descendants have preserved. The battle of Tannenberg |iicot!UiD (.ma miricouug j?r* uuauij, inai 11 was a first attempt at a Slavic alliance, because to meet the Germans the united Slav forces comprised the Lithuanians under the Grand Duke Vltolt, the Poles with the King Ladislaus Jagello and the Russian regiments of Smolensk, Pskow and Novgorod, reinforced by the contingents of Tzecs, Moravians and Slovacs. His Services for Freedom. Gen. Spiridovitch is the successor of Count IgnatiefT as head of the Slav movement in Europe. During the war of the Anglo-Japanese alliance against Russia he doubtless defended the latter pover with energy- and skill, which he rightly considered as the shield of the Slavs, and sometimes his penetrating thrusts did not spare England. "But today the world's position haa become modified," he declared to The Star representative, "^.^understandings have disappeared." With an energy amounting almost to fanaticism, devoted to the point of self-sacrifice In the cause of the emancipation of the Slavs, he Is the initiator of the "rapprochment" between the Slavic societies of Moscow and Parts (Latin-Slav League) and the Slavic Society of London (the Balkan committee).. As president of the great Slavic Society In Moscow, which represents very many peoples of Europe, he has already done yeoman service for the Slavs in Bulgaria and 8ervia. It is an organisation which secured to them freedom In 1878 after three years of wars, wMch began by the insurrection in Bosnia, Herzegovina (Serbo-Groat provinces), passed into the SerboTurkJsh war and finished in the RusaoTurkish war. "These wars." remarked the count, "gave freedom to Bulgaria, Servia, Macedonia and Bosnia-Hersegovina, but by the Berlin treaty Macedonia was again given over to slavery to Turkey, and Bosnia-Herse- > govina was acquired in bondage to A us- 1 tria." Thus it would seem that Bismarck's and Beaconfleld's wot kin Berlin had left as a legacy white slavery In Europe In the i twentieth century. < "You might say." remarked the general, "that the great Slavic Society in Moscow did much good work for humanity in the 1 way of personal service and funds in aid \ of the wounded in these wars referred to, J and spent fully thirty million dollars for that purpose." The society today has changed entirety ] its policy and new works in Europe with 1 the propaganda for only peaceful means to 1 obtain freedom by The Hague confer- > ence. "Every sincere man," said the count. 1 "whft pmIIv nosaa iVaniAiwI <vf I his government to ask the revision of the treaty of Berlin, which Is the most inhuman, unjust and unreasonable act at : tyranny and which Is the real reason that Europe 'represents an enormous military < camp.' " | Man of Wonderful Energy. i Gen. Spiridovitch is a man of wonderful < energy and resourceful mind. Indeed, his expressions in thought are rendered so j rapidly as to put to severe test the ability , of a newspaper scribe to catch his words. 1 His vivid descriptions of life In the empire I are sriven In utrllrlnc phar*j/-tpHfitlo atvlo nf f a man who is today the veritable soul of ] the Slavonic freedom movement, and his 1 whole life and fortune are consecrated to I that one idea. Indeed, the Slavic press in^. variably refers to him as the future Slavonic Bismarck. , "It may interest The Star readers," said the general, "to know that the Slavic So- \ clety, of which I am the honored head, has for its principal alms the amelioration of the cruel position of those under the yoke of ] Turky and for the oppressed little Slavic ' nations. By his strong interference be- 1 tween Russia and Japan. President Roose velt has done very much to promote world peace, and of all peoples In the world us Slavs are certainly the most grateful. In Russia there was a strong sentiment for war because many of the people believed ' that it would be advantageous, but the Slavic people occupied the unique position of wanting a peaceful solution and also the return of Husslan power in Europe, because they regarded the empire as a strong defense against enemies from without. Slavic Esteem for Boosevelt. In recognition of his services for peace, the great Slavic society of the old world deputed its president to visit the United States nnrl tho lanital rvf tha notlnn and extend In person to its chief executive their keen sense of his efforts for world peace and their high esteem, a peace which the little nations of Europe deem so necessary for their happiness and prosperity. The general was also entrusted with the presentation of a magnificent cup of honor. It is a fine example of Slavic art. It Is made of silver and gold and is ornamentedwith enamel. It was made in Moscow by the most skilled Silversmiths and stands about ?;o feet high on three lion le^s. It is appropriately inscribed In Slavonic characters and also the letters "T. K." It is surmounted by the figure of an ancient helmet and bears all the works of clever workmanship. These cups of honor are distinguished gifts for they are only presented to crowned heads and high rulers of the world. This testimonial is presented to the President as a slight testimonial of the esteem and best wishes of the entire Slavic society. Some Striking Personal History. Gen. Sptridovltch preferred to talk altogether about his country and the great mission of his life?the amellnratlnn nf thn Slavs. But The Star representative was able to get a little bit of information from him at a time, which he has interwoven into a story of his life. He has been the recipient of numerous medals from foreign powers for bravery In which he risked his life to save the lives of many on the high seas. His deeds of daring are well known to many in his country. It was learned casually that he has a brother who belongs to the emperor's bodyguard at St. Petersburg, and while the emperor is himself a brave and resolute man, this select body of defenders of the czar are rarelv If ever out of their ruler's sight. The general talked most entertainingly of court life and the unique political situation of the country in which the brave emperor is ever between two strong opposing factions?the court party and those who favor" constitutional government. Some Interesting facts in connection with Gen. Spiridovitch's life in the politics of Slavism may not be amiss. It was In 15)03 that Pope Leo XIII uecided to confide the protectorate of the Catholics to Emperor William. The treaty was ready and there only remained to be done the affixing of the signatures at Cardinal Rampolla and Count- von Buelow. *uen Gen. Spirldovitch forwarded a telegram to the Vatican ( declaring that from advices furnished by , thousands of his Slavic agents, if this privl- ( lee^G was conferred unon the nprnpfnal fnomu of the Slava, It would excite among forty millions of Catholic Slavs the most positive hostility, the consequences of which might ; be extremely serious. Soon the same : Journals announced that Count von Buelow would, on presenting himself at the Vatican j for the final signatures, meet with an un- ] expected refusal. The Catholic Slavs, or- ] ganized a banquet at Moscow to honor this j happy result. This incident caused much j stir; it set aside the German protectorate, j paralyzing in consequence the spread of German influence. s Then, again in 19<)X the general hired a ] hotel at Franzensbad for July and August, i 1001, to call together a congress of Slavs, s assuming all the outlay. The Austrian gov I ornmtint olarmofl at- fhia used its Influence in such a way that M. ? Wolff, the proprietor of the hotel, sold his ( establishment, thus canceling the contract, t In the same connection Count Goluchowski s wrote to Count I^amsdorff begging him to l make known to Gen. Spiridovitch that liis s guests would not be allowed to cross the j Austrian frontier, asserting that the presence of the latter caused too much agitation ' in Slavic centers. Again, In 1904, the question was widely J discussed In Austria of transforming the ' temporary occupation of Bosnia-Herzego- ' vina (Serbo-Croat provinces) into a final p annexation, while Russia's' attention and ^ trnnna wpri> tn thr? fur osist Thi? a annexation would have had disastrous con- g sequences for Servia. Croatia and Monte- p negro, and extraordinary profit to their " oppressors. Gen. Spiridovitch visited Vienna I promptly, where the deputies and presii- \ dents of the Slavic societies and organiza- I tions in Austria were assembled. On it being J proposed, the meeting unanimously voted j that a request be made to President Roosevelt?who at that moment was actually en- p gaged in calling together a new conference ? at The Hague?requesting him to submit to A this conference as first question the viola- a tlon on the part of Austria of the treaty I of Berlin and demanding the evacuation of I the occupied provinces and their absolute A independence under the administration of A one or the Slav princes. t The resolutions and steps, acclaimed by li the entire Slav press, caused so much j anxiety to the weaker government of Aus- e trla that all aggressive measures were sua- t pended. g r VALUE OF BOY'S LIFE. j Mother Was Entitled to Value of His j Services as a Minor. j? NEW YORK, February 80.?A new valua- A tion on the life of a ten-year-old boy waa made by a jury In the BUDreme court Man- c day, before Justice Ford, in which Mary Netelaky was awarded $3,808.33 for the killing of her son Harry. Tho boy was run over by a wagon owned by the Hudson Coal Company of New Jersey on January 19, 1904. Verdicts in similar cases have run from fl to *10.000. Mrs. Netelsky sued as administratrix of the boy's estate, through Louis Steckler. Testimony showed that the boy was killed < while crossing tfte roadway at Allen and ] Hester streets. When he was within two 1 feet of the crossing the pole of the wagon, laden with two tons of coal, struck him. th? boy fell down and the truck passed ] over his body, killing him. , In charging the jury Justice Ford admonished them that if they found a verdict j for the mother they could award only such ; a.sum as the value of the boy's services would be to her up to the time of his maJority. The jury took fifteen minutes to consider Its verdict, and then awarded Mrs. Netelslcy *3.938.33.
