the Russian representative in Wash

letters from United States senators and
representatives, and officials of the gov

obtain copies of the report. but neither
he nor they were ever able to fathom
what had become of the government
edition.
Governments Edition Vanished.
"The government ordered 10000
copies printed, and l ordered 100 for
private USE said DR.. Kempster. Il

substantially cabled to st. Petersburg
as it had been printed in this coun-

after the publication of the report,
and it was printed in London in the
English, German and French Ian
qua ges, and copies of it were sent by
registered mail in separate packages
from the London postoffices to the car,

that she must quit Russia within TWEEN

ticket which is issued to a disreputa-

across a field and took shelter beneath
