CENSUS IN RUSSIA
1t Is a Great Task and Almost
ImpracticabIe.
NO DISTINCTION is MADE
Foreigners, FIoaters and Every.
body Will Be Counted in.

Moscow. Dec. 5.-In the early part Of
1887. Russia. after the most careful prep
aration, undertook the first census of the
empire The census papers We're in for
ty-four languages. and rlost of them had
TO be filed in by specially trained volun-
teer officials After two years some re-
suits were made known. but they only
affected the total OF Russias population.
From time 10 time various figures for
different parts of the empire have been
published For some months there have
been rumors that the census was TO lie
abandoned, or at any rate considerably
curtailed. These reports are now con-
frmed. The statistics henceforth will
given uch less information about the
population than heretofore. There Will
be no distinction IN future between the
temporary and the settled population of
place. and especially there will be 70 fur
ther subdivision into Russian and for

expected to show some interesting results

towards the east, and that the Teuton is
replacing him. 1t was hoped that the
first Russian census would settle this
question. which. with many others. will
now remain unanswered. The abandon
ment of the enterprise is due primarily
to the enormous cost, but the lnuisposi-
ton of the authorities TO tell too much
may have something TO do with it.
