clares that foreign capital Is conquering
the whole south Of Russia. and that the
government should establish restrictions.
The Moscow Gazette proposes for instance.
that all foreign enterprises should be made
TO revert to the government after a certain
number OF years. and that meanwhile for
eign owners and directors should be COM
PEELED gradually to discharge all their
skilled foreign workmen in favor of Rus
SANS. This must gradually, though slowly.
take place without any forcible measures.
British manufacturers at home and those
established in Russia are also reaping the
benefits OF this increase OF Industrial and
commercial activity. Goods made in Eng
iish mills on Russian soil are even finding
their way into the markets of Russian Cen
trail Asia, and English shipbuilders at home
are turning out q great number Of vessels
for the Russian volunteer feet and for the
Amur river at one extremity OF the empire
and the White sea and Arctic coast at the
other The latest order given In England
by the Russian government is for n sigan-
tic steam ferry to connect the Siberian
railway across the Baikal lake.

The Minstreis Tonight.

This evening the famous Richards 4
Pringle Georgia Ministries VIII appear at
the Third Avenue theater and to those who
ike music. dancing, singing and an even
Ing OF general mirth, their coming will be
a coon indeed. The organization has been
under the same management for twenty
TOUR long years. which fact alone speaks
volumes for its excellence. The public
has learned one thing-that only the best
talent viii appear in the company. The
approximations. the dancing the songs. tho
speciaues. are all of the highest order Of
artistic merit. They are headed by
Billy kersands. Moore and Kemp. Marsh
craig, y. Hillman. Vernon, ]. 8. Lacy,
w. o. Terry. the famous Crescent CITY
Quartette. etc. This morning they will
have grand street parade at II 80 head
ed by their own band. In the evening
at 7:l5 they will give free concert In
front OF the theater. They will appear
tonight, Tuesday and Wednesday nights
and for grand Wednesday matinee. The
prices will be the usual Third Avenue
theater prices.
The Portland Oregonan of recent date
said: "Cordrays theater was packed to
the doors last evening by a crowd eager
to see Richards & Pringle's Georgia
Ministries, who opened a solr nights en-
easement, and the sign standing room
only so pleasing TO a MANAGE, had to be
put out long before the time set for ring
ing up the curtain. 1t vas jolly crowd,
mixed. and decidedly cosmop ,litan but all
had come to enjoy a hearty laugh. and
judging from the results the rounds OF
applause, the shouts Of ringing laughter
throughout the evening, everybody was
pleased. and all went away feeling that
they had received their full moneys worth.
The company gives good old-faAhioned
minstrel show. without the senseiess,
gaudy tinsel first part that has deterior-
ated minstrelry into buffoonery. and with
the neat full-dress-suit first part and Sc
ries of remarkably clever speeialties. the
show Is about as good as any seen in this
city.

neither has grown any smaller. and both
are equally attractive features OF the per-

his sketch of 1.-The New Bully" took the
house by storm. Neil Moore. jr.. a bright
young comedian, made MS initial bow TO
Por land audience. and captured the
house with his droll sayings and clever
actions. The singing in the company Is
specially good he voices being well blend
ed. especially Is this the case with the
Crescent City Quartette. Craig, the bone

FOREIGN CAPITAL IN RUSSIA.
Extraordinary Developments OF tho
Great Empires Resources.

London Times Correspondence.
Great attention Is now being drawn to
the unparalleled influx OF foreign capital
into Russia during the las, two years.
which Is still on the increase. There never
has been so much foreign enterprise In
Russia as at the present moment. and ona
OF the Indications of It is the want OF ac-
cnmmodatlon experienced in ST. Peters,
burg and Moscow for several months past
by foreign visitors and their Russian
friends. All the hotels have been con-
unually full, and 1t has been ascertained
that the majority of newcomers are on
business for foreign firms or syndicates.
Al recent meeting of the Society for Ell.
coursgins Russian Trade and Industry.
NJ. Goorevich calculated that within a
very short time no fewer than ihlrfy-one
new industrial undertakings had been
started in Russia by Belgians alone repre-
senting a total capital OF IS, 90, 90 rubies
Most Of these undertakings are In the
metallurgical industry In the south OF
Russia. and some of them are on a very
large scale. An enormous number OF bust
ness enterprises OF other kinds have been
set on foot. and are SIN being started. by
foreigners OF other nationalities; but Bel
gian companies seem to be taking the lead
IN the mining and the iron industries. while
