Russians want Typewriters.

The latest Russian information re-
ceived indicates that considerable
modification of the Imperial Russian
law affecting the use of typewriters
in that country is about to take place
Hitherto the use of this machine has
been restricted to such individuals as
could obtain special permission, as it
was feared that the general use of this
apparatus would greatly facilitate the
Vaccinations of the Nihilistic element.
Foreign business houses were almost
the only ones making a liberal use of
the typewriter. OF late years, however,
Russian industry and commerce have
extended at such rapid rate and the
educated element available for the pur-
pose of correspondence is relatively so
small that the Russian government
has at last admitted the necessity of
acceding to the wishes of Russian mer-
chants OF course, this means a con-
siderable extension of American trade.
