The Censorship in Russia.
From the New York Times.

Chi IAit ANtW L OIh LINES.
A letter which we have received from
town in Russia strikngly illustrates
the almost pathetic stupidity of the
system under which that country is
governed-or misgoverned. Enclosed in
the letter was a half-column slip cut
from the first page of the New York
Times, issue of Dec. 20. The paper had
been sent to a resident of the town, but
the censor had decided that it would
not be we'll for the Russian Empire to
have the news contained in that half
column known there, so II had first
been heavily marked with blue pen
Gil and then covered. headline and all,
with their klack ink. The work, evil
IDENTIFY that of two men-a reader and
canceler-was we'll done. Not a word
could be deeiphered. and so carefully
had the ink been applied that it had
not spread at any point beyond the OBJ
noxious article. The person to whom
the paper was sent happened to be
woman. As was inevitable. on receiv-
ing 1t in this shape she was filled with
an eager curiosity to know what the
censor didn't want her to know and
instantly wrote to us asking that we
send her in a sealed envelope a slip cut
from the same part or another COPY OF
the same issue. OF course we have done
it. and in due time she will learn
what? Nothing very revolutionary
nothing at all disrespectful to Cars or
bureaucrats-simply that there is a Sc
we're famine in Finland. owing to the
failure of last years crops! What we
printed was a short dispatch from St.
Petersburg announcing the situation in
the duchy, and under this were several
quotations from the Vedomosti and the
London Times, all on the same subject
and treating 1t as a piece of straight
news without the slightest attempt to
create sensation or to place any re-
responsibility on Russia and it's off,
Gals. Why the people of Russia were
not allowed to read what had already
been published in st. Petersburg Is
quite beyond our comprehension What
ever may be the reason, the prohibit
ton will evidently serve only to en-
phasize the facts which 1t was desired
to conceal. for as soon as the uncan-
ce1ed slip gets there what otherwise
would probably have received only
passing attention is sure to be careful
ly studied and deliberately discussed, as
well as widely circulated from hand to
hand. And it must cost a lot of money,
to say nothing of the labor involved, TO
handle the newspaper mails of Russia
in this way. Considering how poor Rus
STA is. 1t does seem as If her resources
might be better employed.

VIII Share i'm Ownership of North
ern Steamship Vessels.

New York. Feb. 1.-THE statement
was made to-day, though not confirm
ed in official quarters, that four lead
ing railroads.&c. New York Central,
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western.
Erie, and Lehigh Valley-are to share
equally in the ownership of the freight
vessels reported to have been sold by
the Northern Steamship Company.
It was originally intended by j. J.
Hill, who controls the steamship line,
to use the vessels as Atlantic coast
grain carriers, but the contamination
of the Burlington deal seems to
have interfered with or rendered mug
atory, such plan.
Mr.. Hin has thus far made no def
mite statement as TO the terms Of tho
reported sale.

Chicago, Feb. 17.-Nearly a hundred
persons claiming to have been made
victims of the "get-rich- quick" turf
concerns, whose offices were raided last
week, gathered at the Harrison street
police station to-day to attend a meet
ing called by the police. AS fast as the
persons arrived to-day. they were told
to go to Inspector James Stuart at the
postoffice, or to the Office of the states
attorney, where plans of prosecution
would be discussed.
Anticipating federal action against
them, the concerns whose places were
recently raided have given orders that
their mail be delivered to other ad-
dresses.
After sorting over the material taken
in the second raid of Harry Brolaski's
place yesterday, the police assert that
evidence was found that investors lost
at least $17,500, in addition to the $40
500 known to have been lost when the
first raid was completed

Liberal Leaders Comment Upon the
Reference to The Hague.

Reference to The Hague.
London, Feb. lion the reassem-
bling of the House of Lords, Earl
Spencer, the Liberal leader, opened
the debate for the opposition. He said
that after reading the blue book on
Venezuela he could only express sur
prise at the fact that the demand for
the reference of this business dispute
to The Hague court had not been
pressed much earlier. He trusted that
the final settlement would tend to es-
tablish good relations between Eng
land, America and Germany.
The Duke of DevOnshire, lord pres
ident of the Council, said difficulties
might still arise in connection with
Venezuela, as the latter at present ap-
parently had no settled government
The Duke said Great Britain accepted
the Monroe doctrine unreservedly, but
to have abstained from enforcing
claims which she believed to be just
and essential to her honor would be
to make the Monroe doctrine an object
of dislike for every civilized Power.

Formation of Protective Association for
Green Spring Valley.-At large and repre-
sentative meeting of the property-holders and
residents of Green Spring Valley, held at the
Green Spring Valley Hunt Club on Friday
night of last week, it was decided to form an
association the object of which is to adopt
measures for the promotion of the health and
general welfare of the property holders and
residents of the valley and to protect their
property from injury. Mr.. Samuel M. Shoe
maker presided, with Mr.. Paul M. Burnett as
secretary. 1t was decided to call the organiza-
ton the Green Spring Valley Protective AS
ISOLATION.
The formation of the association is the out
come of a previous meeting to discuss the ne
cessity of protecting the health and welfare OF
the people of the valley, and OF preventing the
location therein of institutions and so-called
improvements calculated to become obnoxious
and detrimental to the properties near which
they might be established. The advisabillty
of establishing such an association was dis
cussed at length, and it was generally agreed
that 1t was necessity.
A committee appointed to draft resolutions
and bylaws at the previous meeting, and to
prepare the details for the formation OF the as
ISOLATION, reported and its report was accepted.
A committee was appointed to select fifteen
directors to manage the organization, from
whom the officers will be selected in turn
This committee will also, it is expected, lncor-
porate the association, and will report at a
future meeting, when permanent organization
will be effected.
The association is an outgrowth of plan to
oppose the establishment of a proposed sanl-
tarium for inebriates on the Slingluff property
west of the Reisterstown road. 1t is under
stood that the association will take up actively
the work of antagonizing this institution
being located in the valley.
Those present at the meeting included
Messrs. W. Stewart Diffenderffer, VIM. Gill
NOR Hoffman, Oscar Wolff, Frank w. Lever
ing, Joseph Hopkins, Redmond G. Stewart,
Gustav L. Stewart, Matthew S. Atkinson
William B. Graves, Wilson G. Nicolas, I
