DESPOTIC ESPIONAGE
MANY RUSSIAN PROVINCES ARE.
NOW ABSOLUTELY AT MERCY
OF THE POLICE
REvoLUTIoNIsTs ARE ACTIVE
And in the Work of Suppression the
Processes of the Law and of the
Courts Are Arbitrarily
Suspended.

ST PETERSBURG, Jan. 12.-The add1-
ton of. sixteen cities and the province of
Vilra to the places under eXtraordi-
nary police supervision makes the total
of such places in European Russia, not
counting the provinces included in the
last kingdom of Poland, as follows:
Ten provinces or territories, three large
cities, twenty-four other cities, nine dis
tricts, three large villages, two small
towns and one ordinary village. The
number has been gradually increasing
uring the two decades the law on this
subject has been in force. The occasion
of the last additions to this list, it was
said to the correspondent of the Associ-
ated Press, was a riot at Kisheneff,
town in Bessarabia. The editor Of the
Bessarabetz, who is commonly believed to
be a representative of the government
in other ways than as publicist. was
beaten on the streets and the windows
of his Office were smashed. He came
to st. Petersburg and made a special re-
port.
South Russia is RebeIIiOus.
It is also said there is an active revo-
lutionary movement in all south Russia
The addition of other towns in all parts
of the country to the districts Under
special supervision is attributed to the
policy of making lone bite of the cher
ry." The law on the subject, which
dates from the early years of Alexander
Ills reign, gives the local governors
the right to close industrial establish
ments, to expel anybody from any place,
to issue special orders with special pen
alties against gatherings on the streets,
to withdraw processes from the courts
or exclude publicity and to put their
seals on private property without any
reason. The police and secret service
officers may also arrest anybody on sus-
picion. Practically the main difference
is that the local authorities are en-
powered to act on their own judgment
without reporting to st. Petersburg in
advance. Without the state of special
supervision the central government can,
at any time, order anything to be done
that it regards as conducive to public
welfare
ST. Petersburg, Riga and Dorpat police
authorities have made use of their re-
newed or newly conferred powers by
issuing proclamations against unlawful
gatherings. Those who fail to move on
when ordered are subject to three
months arrest or 500 roubles fine.

Washington, Feb. 17.-After an ex-
tended debate the senate today passed
the bill establishing a permanent cen

principally to the collection and pub
lication by the director Of the census
of statistics respecting the production
of cotton. Mr.. Allison vigorously op-
posed the provision. maintaining that
the cotton statistics gathered by the
department Of agriculture were COM
plete and accurate and that no neces-

spite his opposition the provision was
inserted in the bill
Several other bills of Importance,

BOTH SIDES THINK 0F CUBA
RECIPROCITY QUESTION WILL
SOON NBE BEFORE THE HOUSE.
Democratic Members of Ways and

Make Plans.

Washington, Feb. 17.-With the
passage OF the war revenue reduction
bill in the house today, informal plans
are being considered on both sides OF
the chamber Tor the consideration OF
The Cuban reciprocity question. now
pending before the ways and means
committee. Chairman Payne SAID to-
night that no definite plans had yet
been matured for taking up the ques-
ton, either by the republican men,
bers, or by the committee as whole.
At the same time there is pretty
general understanding among the re-
publican members of the committee
that they will confer on the subject
later in the week. The democratic
members of the ways and means COM
mittee met this afternoon Immediately
after the passage of the war revenue
repeal act to consider plans for deal
ing with the Cuban reciprocity ques
tion when it comes up. No definite
line of action was determined upon.
