Russian Editors Muzzled.

Who would care to live in Russia In
these progressive times22 a circular has
recently been sent by the head of the
ST. Petersburg's Censor's Office to the
editors of Russian newspapers which
will amuse Americans whose news
papers are allowed to speak OF every
thing ant, anything else
Among numerous items which this
ineffable official forbids editors to
mention In Their paperssar the follow
ing: All Information or rumo-s about
the Gear and the imperial family, ex-
cept such as come to them from Off
ciaI sources; informatlo about troops
or warships: matters connected with
the discipline of the army and navy;
details about measures taken for the
protection OF the Eastern Chinese Rail-
way; about journeys undertaken to
Persia by officials Of the Ministry OF
Finance and their results: matters RS
ferrfng to students disturbances. In
formation about political crimes, trials
and sentences: also about Russian
strikes or peasant riots; about the pro
gress OF the plague, or other epidemics
in Russia; about the actions of the
secret police. about disciplinary mea-
sures against heretics. and Toistots
quarrel with the authorities OF the Or
thodox Church: finally. about the OBJ
ject of the present Journey Of the Min
lister of Finance in Eastern Siberia.
I wonder what Is left for the Russian
writer to speak of? An American eii-
tor might fall back on racing and foot
ball but Russia does not play football
and doesn't go to races.
And when these very lines reach the
cafes in st. Petersburg. where the
Americans gather to read the New
York American and Journal. they will
have been depleted by the censor's
backing brush.

ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.

In order that the public may
have general idea Of the magni-
tude of the Louisiana Purchase
exposition, ST. Louis, 1903, The
TRIBUNE places Before you a few
tersely stated facts.
The st. Louis Worlds Fair will
be approximately twice as big as
any former international exposi-
ton.
The Centennial exposition at
Philadelphia covered 236 acres, the
Paris exposition Of 1889 1890,
1886 acres; the Columbia exposi-
ton at Chicago 633 acres; the
Pan-American at Buffalo $50
acres.
The st. Louis Worlds Fair will
cover 1900 acres.
The construction cost of the
Paris exposition WAS $9,0OO,OOO,
that of the Columbia exposition
sl8,322,OOO, and the total cost of
the Pan-American exposition was
$lO,OOO,O0O.
The estimated cost of the st.
Louis Worlds Fair will be $780,
100000. This you know will mean
$4O,0OO,O0O by the time the work
is completed.
Before the exposition gates are
open, May l, 1903, the city of ST
Louis will have expended the
enormous sun of $2O,0O0,OOO. OF
this amount, $5,OOO,0O0 was APP
