THE RUSSIAN PRESS CENSORSHIP.

The Russian Press colebrate this month the 200th anniversary of the publication of the fenuded by Peter the Gront. Various proposals first Russian newspaper, the official Fiedsnosti,

have been made for the worthy commemoration of that interesting event, and considerahle feel ing has been aroused in journalistic circles by the discussion of the different suggestions. It cannot be said that the general public has so far taken a very keen interest in the discussion, nor is the reason for this indifference very far to sesk. The intolage in which the Russian Pies is keep completely prevents it from fulfilling its natural function as the guide and reflection of public opinion, and no one not immediately oon neatul with newspaper work can be expected to take any lively interest in its anniversaries, That Enssian journaliats are themselves acutely conscions of their humiliating position is shown by a striking article in the Nove Vremya last month on "How Should the Jubilee of the Press be Celebrated ?" The writer discusses Foma of the sohomes which have boon anggested. such as the foundation of a journalists' bone. volent society or an orphan fand, the publication of a complete history of the Russian Prosa, &e, and says:-"All that is very well in its way but it is not the main thing, not the one thing which is absolutely necessary." That one thing, he maintaine, is the revision of the been completely changed in character Press laws, which are not only out of date but

by Inter "temporary measures." Ho traces the events which led to the Press law of 1885, at that time an important step in advance, and quotes utterances of Prince Gortchakoff and Katkoff, the famous editor of the Moscow Viedomosti, in favour of the complete freedoms of the Fress. The following

. Before the members of the Central Asion Society, at their rooms in Albemarle Street, London, Captain, F. G. Poole, D.9.0., on the 17th it. read a paper entitled "Outside the Great Wall of Chips." At the siege of Peking Captain Poole was in command of the Inter- national Volunteers, subsequently joining the Allied forces, with whom he served as a Staff officer. As these expeditions were sines the war, bo met with the greatest deference every whero, and was overwhelmed with offers of guards and escorts.
