The telegraphic inquiry of Minister Wtte why
Russia continues consume much foreign
steel products and Goals. is answered as follows
by the 'Kharkof Goubernsky Vedomosu:
Cardor conlIels US admit ii is because We in
dustrials have little knowledge and less science
little money but great appetite: We pouSill
land regardless Of price, erected fancy 1acoreS
have been paying our executive ofhclals 2nc
committees insane fees ana salaries we nave dls-
trihuted outrageously high dividends. but We have
evitably arrived. We have engaged, some OF u.s.
ir the riskiest and most reckless stock exchange
nanipUlatons, we have borrowed money anywhere
and everywhere at any price We have enjoyed
government support for twenty years and nave an
Unsuitable appetite for and We admit We can
not hold the domestic market, in spite OF
tremendous import duties.

ADMIT 10 mems universities, women are

Finland. which has already granted to women the
same educational rights to men, is now ABOUT 10
initiate the Russian Imperial Government and IN
troduce factory inspectors.
The ST. Petersburg .EedomoSu,' seeking TO ex-
plain the failure OF the Russian attempt to make
a substantial inroad into the South Persian mar
Rets where England is supreme blames the gov
agents. and goes say the Persians are not
only poor. but that they do not need much, and
are always looking for cheap rather than good
wares. Therefore the good Russian manufactures
must yield the cheaper and poorer English arr1
cles.
