CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA.

The ASSASSINATION OF Prefect oil f0llce
Count Schuvalotf, of Moscow, yesterday,
is considered to be a purely political
crime, rs the Count was not 40 years old
and was regarded as being of the best
type of the Russian official. He came
from one of the most famous families in
Russia. The Count was SOD of Count
Peter ShnvaIof, the statesman who rep
resented Russia at the Berlin conference,
was formerly colonel of the Guard Regi-
ment, known as the st. Petersburg, ard
was one of Emperor Nicholas persona
friends. As project of Odessa, when he
succeeded General Zelenoi, who was ex-
tremely severe, Count Shuyaloff earned
the esteem OF all by his firm but lenient
course, making himself particularly
popular with the students. The i'm
preston exists in st. Petersburg that
the Count was killed for preserving
order.

scribes the ruin of Odessa by the rioters

manufactures in Odessa and the vicinity
are slight and that 500, 900 persons have
lost their means of livelihood through
The destruction of factories, etc.

place as an export center, and the ne
cessty for exporting by means of round
about routes must handicap Russia's
competition in the European markets
with America.
