To put this long argument in a few words. The writer recommends Russia to
open up Siberia to the Chinose and to Russify the anttlers by mild measures if possible, and, if they do not succeed, by drastic measures; and it would appear that he reflects to a considerable extent the ideas of the Russian Government.

THeza seems to be little doubt that Eassia is inclined to favour at the present moment an immigration of Chinose labourers into Siberia. Thore are little more than three million inhabitants in that vast country, and consequently labouring hands are very scarce and very dear. If Russia really intenda to push forward the trans-Siberian railway cheap labour mist be obtained, and where better than in China? A pretty strung. confirmation of Bussis's desire to encourage this immigration is found in the tone adopted by the Russian prean with regard We to the treatment of Chinese, subjects. observe in Der Ostasiatische Lloyd's rather significant article on this subject translated from the Nuwoje Wrenja, part of which we think is worth re-translating. writer, Mr Wassiljew, begics by stat ing that in Wladivostock, by order of the Superintendent of Police, the Chi- ness are compelled to occupy a separate part of the town, not even being allowed to rent houses in other parts.
