Prince Metchersky, who has just been sent out by the Czar to report on the recent agrarian outbreaks in Russia. will be likely to get at the facts. He once demonstrated how futile the pass port regulations of Russia were. He crossed to Roumania and obtained one of the permits required when taking live stock over the border. Armed with this, he went to one of the less fre- 3auented Russian frontier posts and boldly presented the document to the sub-officer in charge as his warrant to pass. The official could read no Rou- rnanian and little Russian, but saw a big. official looking paper with an im- posing coat-of-arn and seal, and straightway stuck the Russian wise on it. At the end of three months Metch- ersky returned to Moscow and showed the governor that he had entered Rus sia and travelled there on the authority of document which described him, for the purposes of identification, as a ''blaek SOW, full grown, with one ear partly torn away"

The statement has been made that the eoaI-nining corporations in no case have realized any advance on the price of coal over the circular prices in force at the time the strike began. One of the largest of the New York dealers now comes forward to say that the &C., tual price paid for coal to the mining eorporations is some $3 above the cir cular figure in force when the strike began. Tt is true," he says, "that the companies have not advanced the cir cuIar announcement, but it is also true that for whatever coal has been al- lowed to come forward the dealers have been compelled to pay prices as stated above"
