\ 10 POLICE IN RUSSIA Oharacteristios of the Greatest Detsotive System ia the World, WHERE EVERY HOUSE JANITOR IS A SPY I\ *'Carp" Considors Russian Policemen Less Offensive Than Americwn Officers, WORK OF THE GREAT THIRD SECTION Record of Every Snepected Sul jzct of the Oz:r Kept on File, PRAISE OF RUSSIAN PENITENTIARIES Where Prisoners are Well Fed (for Rusali), Well Clothed, and the Strictest San- Itary Regulations are Enforced Cases Sent to Siboria 7. PrTERsnunG, Oct, 22— [Special Corre- spondence of Tur Ber.| [ came to Russia fully armed for contact with the police. I have letters from Mr. Byrues, the superin- tendent of the police of New York city, recommonding me to tho protection and ein- fidenco of tho policemen of Russia. 1 have confidential notes of introduction from tho head of our secrot sarvice of the Treasury department to the chief of the third section of tho czar, and before [ lefu the United States I got letters from the Pinkertons to tho chiefs of police of the great Kussian cities. Theso letters have been of value in Riving me an insight into the police system of this nation, which 15 said to have the best rogulated and the most perfact police system of the world, By it the czar 1s said to know Just where every one of his 100,000,000 sub- jeots sleeps cvery night and St. Petersburg is practically governed by tho police. I'ho heads of the third sectiou, or the de- tective service of this capital, together with the chief of nolice, control all matters relat- iug to the sanitary and political conditions of the city. Sitting in their Big oftices, not far from the bauks of tne Neva, they bave their fingers on tho wires which reach to every house aud every room in St. Petersourg. Filed away in the pigeon holes of their oftices 1s the record of every suspocted person in the empire ana their system is such that they can turn in an instant the electric light of polico investigation on the record of almost any man in the world. They have their agents in evory capital of the world, and nothing is done anywhere which in the least affects Russia which is not known to these #geats and put upon record. Loss O And still one might travel all over Russia and hardly know that the police exist. Out- side of complying with the passport regula- tions, whicn are attended 10 by the managers of the hotols, you do not meaet the police more hero than in any other Kurovean city, and 1 have not found them as offensive 1 their bearing as the police of New York and London. 1 had no trouble with them on the frontier. I have car- ried my camera with me and have taken photographs of them on foot and on horse back. 1 bave through them resisted the ex- tortlons of the droscasky arivers, and bave gotlen information from them just as 1 would from a policeman on a street coruer in America. I have found them just as polite in South Russia and in the villages along the Volga as I have in the large cities, and 1 am convinced that the traveler who minds his own business and goes about it without fear may travel just as casily here us in uny part of kurope. The ooty (rouble I have had with the fensive Than Americun Officers. ~———ptlice during my three months here was in connection with Mr. Frederic Remiogton, the famous artist, who, in compuny with Mr. Poultnoy Bigelow, made a very short visit to Russia and left fu haste. "I came with Mr. Remington and Mr. Bigelow on the ame sbip from New York to Hamburg. I lived in the the same hotel with them at St. Petersburg and said goodby to them when thoy left. 1100k a photograph of them in the steamer Normannia,on which we crossed, and I think their fears of ltussian imprisoun- medt had more foundation 1 their minds than aur basis in fact. Mr. Kemington and m: ing one aay behind a fust droschsky horse, Tan @ raco with & military official and this ofticial was angered av our presumption. It was on the fashionable drive which goes from St. Petersburg to theisiands of the Neva. The military man had a better horse than we had and ho succeeded iu passing us. Shortly after this we came taa bridge, in the ceuter of which was a _policeman. 'The official got thore tirst and Lo said a word to the policeman as he passed, and when we came up tho policeman told us we must go back to tho city. We protested,but we could not talk Russian and our droschsky driver was forced to turn around and wo drove back home. Whether the ofticial was one of tho police or whether ho was a j-cent geueral Idonot know. AU any rate he was big enough and small enough to take this petty revengo and we had to submnt, A Famous Chief, The military aud the police work togethor 1n Russin and the chiel of police can call in the Cossacks to belp him. 'I'he chief of the third section here is practically the governer of the city. Ho can try suspected persous when it 15 vecessary in secret, and about 20,- 000 men were, it is said, banished from tho capital every year during the reign of Gon- eral Gresser. Gresser was the most famous chief of polico tho czar hus had for yea He was a geaeral of the army when be dis- covered a plot Lo assassinate the czar aud his services in this were so great that the czar made him the chief of the third section, He gavo him o present of £5,000, n residence bere in St. Potersourg and n pension of §1,500 ayear, General Grosser died only a few months ugo and 1t was claimed by somo that be was assassinated. The truth of it scems 10 be that ho died from taking injections of Brown-Sequard elixir to bolster up bis wan - ng health, ‘I'he present chief of police is a fierce look. ing man of about 40, who is @ mMoro powpous wan thau Gresser was and who does walters in & business way, I chatted with him jn German for some time thoe other day and found him @ very intelligent though some- what secretive official. A mau’s life Is as safe in St. as it is in New York, and tuere is and crimo here than there is in the average Awmerican city, There is a policeman on every block both day and uight, aud there is always u policeman in the ceuler of every streot crossing. ‘The laws of the road are such that though & mau way drive at the rate of twelve miles an bour down the Nevskoi prospekt, aud though the people al Ways drive al & breakneck pace you unever see collisions, T'hers are few burglarics ana few murders here, and there aro less arrests thao in London. The police force of St. Petersburg consists of 2,000 men. The city is divided up into forty-two police districts, and euch district has ‘& police station, with which 1s con- unected @ sorc of police court. In eacn oue of these stations rocords are kept of all the citi- 20us of the district, and these records are classified 80 that tho police can tell in & mo- went tho history and standing of any wan in the district. These records are wude on papors of aifferent colors, and those who are suspeoted of political offenses have papers of @ scoarate color from those suspected of orime and dangerous characters have thewr police biographies written on a paper of still different colur. In every oune of these police statious and in the police stations all over the empire are kept lists of wen who are to e arrested wherever they are found, and of men who are considered daungerous Lo the goveroment. Similar lists are sent to the agents of Russia in the different capitals of the world, and by reports from these police agents the government kuows as far as pos sible just where its cuemies are Features Worthy of mitat The 2,000 policemen of St. Potersburg wear voiform. There are tens of thoysands of other wen cmployed by the polioe who dress olf, while out rid- Potersburg less vice rie in eitizen’s clothos, and avery house in St Petersburg has its nolioo agent and spy Many of the peoplo hera Iive in flats and the man who takes caro of the flat 1s known as the dvornik, and he is responsible to the polico for the people within it. He revoris upou their doings; he sees thut their pass porta are correct and he keeps the polics in- formed s 1o what goes on in his house, and it is almost 1mpossiblo 1o nave a secret meet ing in IRussia without its beiug reported by one of these men Those dvorniks have a sort trades : thomselves and they aro gov- union among eraed by A citef, and this chief 1s & mewnber a cortain extent, re- of the police and is, to eponsivle for the actions of tho dvorniks 1t 15 nec v for every houseaolder to have one of these men and often there are several of themin a single flat. They have control of the sanitary arrangements of the houses as well as” the political and oriminal angements, Thoy are expected by the police to soe that tho streots in frout of their liouses wre swept and waterod twice & _day, and St. Potarsburg has as_well kept streets as any city in the world. The dvorniks ure respousible for any dirt or filth inside the house, and the man who does not keep his house clean in St. Petersburg can bo ar- ot rosted. Iftho police see a business man whose shop is not properly carea for, thoy order him 1o cloan it. 1f he does not do s0 he may receive an order to close up his s tablishment for a certai number of months, and be bas todo it. 1t is the samo with theaters. One hero in St. Petersburg had noas many exiis as tha police coasidered necessary, The manager was playing a bl engagewient wheu he received an ord from the police to remedy this defect and make the house safe. He paia no_attention to 1t aud went on with his show. The rosult was that a few days later his theater was closed by the order of the police, and what ho might have repaired at the loss of & fow mghts of acting cost him many thousands of doilars Itis the samo with the swallest matters, 'here 1s a law here that the barbers’ shops must bring a cloan piece of soap and a clean brush to every man they shave, and the bar- ver who would do otherwise would bo restea. The result is that the order at St. Petersburg is very good indeed, and though there is much drunkeuness among tho peoplo thero ave fow brawls and practically no riots, The pussport bureaus are all under the polico. * Kivery man and every woman in IRussia must “have a passport, and if the, move from onc place to another, or from one bouse to anothor, this passport must bo vised by the polico. 1T a husband zoes out of tho country and wishes ms wife to follow him he must arrango so that sho can get s pass- port from the police, and this will bo granted ner only on the application of her husband, and will not be given without bis peranssion. Pol men Poorly Every largo hotel of Russia has its pass- vort burcau, and you hand in_your passport the moment you arrive and the hotelkeeper has it vised for you and gives it back to You within ap hour or so. In leaving the botel you will not need to havo it again vised without you are going out of the country, but the landlord always asks you where you are going, ana the moment you leave word sent 1o the polico as to the date of your de parture and the placo of your destioation. Landlords are compellea 1o attend to such matters and they uro fined if they do not send 1u the passports promptly. 1 have heard of the necessity of one always having @ passport with him, and since I have boen in Russia I bave carried mine constantly n my left vreast pocket. I have never had it called for, howover, but it is. I am told; nec. essary if one would eet checks cashed at tho banks or lotters at the postoflico. Tho policemen of Russia are net very well paid and salaries are very low throughout tho Kussian empive. It is'tho same with the soldiers. The —czar has something like 1,000,000 men in his army, but these do not recoive as much as a postage stamp a day for their work, and the ordinary policeman only gets #12 a month. The chief of the volice districts here receives only $1,230 a year, and io the interior policemen nften re- coive no more thun £250 a wmonth and pay their own exvensos. Iivery man in Russia is expected to help the police. Al housebolders must ksep records of the servants they empioy. ‘There are blank books made for this purpose, and 1n one column you must put down the date of cngagemeut of & servant, bis religion and where he comes from. You must give his ugo and must have a record of his height, size, color, and, in fact, & regular passport description of him. You mustsend & notice to the polico thut you have employed him and they look from time to time over your servant book and put their stamp upon it. It is the same with hired girls as with hired men and thosamo with clerks as with house servants. When the servant leaves you you must again notify the police and state where he has gone. You have to pay feos and stamps for bis service and the police here en force the collection of stanip taxes. Not long ago there was an order passed that every receipt and business paper shauld have a stamp, and the polico wero about to collect this tax from a gas company in South Russia. This company had thousands of contracts which were merely matters of record and the polico called and tried to col- lect stamp duties upon each of these, The owner, who was a shrewd Ingiishman, saw that the thing was going to cost him about #30,000, aud he burned up his coutracts and thus evaded the tax, He hada book aocount, which enabled him to supply the loss, and ho tola me gleefuliy how he got abead of the govern ment. Sent to Siberia, 1 chatted about the police with waother Evglishman who lives in one of the big towns of the black plain aud who was very augry at the police surveilance which was keptover him. Said ho: “You caw't do anything here that 1s pot known to the polico and there are spies everywhere, Your servants watch you, and even a beg- gar may boa spy. lfamou does anything that is out of the way he is put under police supervision and he has to report overy month or every week to the potice, 1 had o cleric with me oot long azo who was supposed to be a free-thinker. (o bad to report to tho police every month. Ona night we missed him, and we did not hear of mim for about two months. He had bean takon off in irons to St. Petersburg, and he was kept in prison there & month. Then his accusers were brought to the city, and this man was brought out with thirty otbers, but his accusers could not pick him out of the lot and the result was that the authorities released him. As soon as he was released he was told ho could havos freo ticket homo if he would wait forit, but he said that be preferred to pay bis fave and o at once, and he did so. *It is not uncommon from bero 1o Siberia. Mavy of them do not go in prison gangs. They mereiy receive orders from St. Potersburg to report to tho police at cortain stations 1 Siberia and to re- main thera until they receive pormission to leave, Onco there they can engage in any business they plense, provided they make their reports properly, and somotimes i1 sty for vears. When ' they como back the say but little about their experieuces in Si- beria, and they are very carelul of their ut- terances in the futu The majority of the persons sent to Siberia are for criminal and ot political offenses. Whon a bank fails bero tho direotors get ‘wolf passports’ or tickets for Siveria, and if a maa commits murder he is sent 1o Siberia for life. Thero is not a great deal of fleggiug done in the prisons, but bauishment takes its place.” Speaking of the spy system of L whilo I was at Nijoi-Noveorod the gov aetailed his privae secretary to o with me, and this man was very partieular to know just what I was doing and for what pur- pose. He pretended that he wanted it for uewspaper publication, but I afierwards tearned that be was a spy, and I doubt not the story | told nim was sent right on to St Potersburg. During my stay there I took dinner st a gentleman’s bouso at which this private sec- relary was present, and atthis one of the jadies at the table remarsed 10 English that thore were spies everywhere and there was one at this very table, but owing 1o his not understandiog English ke wouia uot bs able 10 report our conversation, for men to be sent Pralse of Russian Prisons. 1 bave boen surprised in fact to find out how Treely people Lalk in Russis about the government.

[u theso days of farco comedy,in which every possiblo method is used to produce laughter, 1t is refreshing 1o see a clean, refined vroduction of the le- gitimate scnool such as “The Colonel.” “Our [nsh Visitors” isa goose that has laid wolaen eggs for several poople, particu- larly J. M. Hill, who formerly managed tho company for several soasons with large vrofitable results, aud this year the goose will probably lay golden cges for its man- agers, Messrs, Bonedict and McKeiver, There are a great many musical comedies, but nono has pieased_the American public as well as *Our Irish Visitors' has in the past ten years. “Our Irish Visitors” is a_lively comedy, superior, in fact, to the present day farce comedy and Lorso ‘play, and is posi- tively not a variety snow in disguise. The dialouge is bright and erisp, a laugn in every line, the spaciaities novel, atiractive and en- tertaining. Mr. Sam J_'Ryan, a well and favorably known comedian of excoptional merit,and formerly co-star with Mark Murphy in “'O'Dowa’s Neighbors,” enacts the cuar- acter of Colonel Gilhooluy and has lost none of his power in making people laugh. His actions are awkward und fucuy, bis brogue, of a quiet sort, 1s unapproachable and pe- culiatly his own, while that inimitable laugh or gurgle would move a stoic. Frank Davis as Alderman McGinms makes an_excollent foil for Ryau and they both work together cavitally, There is probably no soubrette who has sprung into greater favor and prom. inenco in recent years than Lottic Gilson, Now York's fine favorite, called *“I'he Little Magnet,” and she is growing in_favor each duy by & cortain native gift and has made a lasting impression in tne part of Dorothy that will toll for many years to come. Tha supporting company is composed of well known favorites, *‘Our Irish Visitors’ will bo presented at the Farnam Street theater one solia _week, commencing this (Sundav) watinee. Usual matinees Wednesday and Saturdag. The usual popular prices will provail.” Election returns will ba road from the stuge during the performance of *‘Our Irish Visitors” Tuesday evening, Noveu- bor 8. With pleasure we aunounce as the next at- traction at the Farnam Street theater for four nights, commencing November 13, and continuing ' until November 16, with a Wednesday matinee, the inimitable and ou Gus Williams, quamt in his bumor, legiti mate and neat in his acting methous and the universal favorite. Mr. Williams 1s so_well kuown throughout the length and breadth of the land, that 1t is entirely supertiuous to describe him further than to say that ho is now the only legitimate German dialect comedian on the American stage. That interesting dramatic novelty, “*Yon Youson,” is the coming attraction ai Boyd's new thoater and will open a threo nighvs engagement Sunday, November 13. Since it was last seen hers this pieco has enjoyed a run of 100 nights in New York and received the endorsement of the motropolitan press #s @ unit. What few rough edges were noted in the eazly productions of tho play nave been polished off and itis now pro- nounced a sterling comedy drama destined to live a long time. The claim of novelty perhaps first atiracts theater-goers to this play, and when theg bave studied its morits from ali points ot view, there is discovered a substantial foun- dation for the encouragement of the patron of Ligh class dramatic art. The sim- ple, honest hearted immigrant whose native goodness of purposs enables bim to quickly detect tho cunning schemer and come to the aid of the iunocent victim appeals to all classes, and when ar- tistically portrayed. at once wins the esteem of all admirers of the natural in stuge pic- tures. Mr. Heece's delineation of the title role in *Yon Youson' has won for him the admiration of critics and tho public. The scenic aod mechanical effocts are no les: novel than the play itself. The actual break- ing of au immense log jam is sald to be tho acmo of stage realism, and a most thrilling effect. ‘'he Minnesota Jumber eamp in wmid- winter and the yiew of St. Anthony Fails oy moonlight, vival in splendor any effort of the sceno paiuter yeu seen in this country,.und thera are other startling devices introduced waich render the production a positive scenic triumph, e, Phio pure juico of tho grape naturally fer mented, that is what Cook’s Extra Dry Champague is.
