I hnvo loiters from Mr. Byrnes the superin tendent of the pollco of Now YorK city , recommending tno to the protection and cnn- ildonco of the policemen of Uussla. 1 have contlilontlnl notes of Introduction from the head ot our sccrot sorvlco of the Treasurj department to the chief of the third section of the czar , and before I left the United States I got loiters from the I'lnUortons to the chiefs of police of the great Hussion cltloi. These letters have been of value In Rlvlnp ice an luslght Into the pollco nystooi of this nation , which is said to have the host regulated and the most perfect pollco system of the world. IJy It the czar is said to know fust wlioro oTCry one of his lOU.OOO.OOO luh- loots sleeps every nlijht anil St. Petersburg is practically governed by the pollco. i'ho heads of ilia third section , or the do- tcctlvo service ot thU capital , toother with the chief ot police , control all matters rolat- ins to the sanitary and political conditions of the clly. SlltiiiK in their l5iR onlces , not far from the banks of tno Nova , they have their fingers on the wires which roacn to every house and ovcry room in St. Petersburg. Flloa away In the pigeon holes of their ofllcos Is tbo record of every suspected person in the emplro and their system Is such luut they can turn In nu Instant tbo uleotrio light of pollco investigation on the record of almost any man in the world. They have their agents In every capital of the world , and nothing is done anywhere which in the least affects Utissla which U not known to these pgoats and put upon record. l.oiH < > n > MRlv Than Aniorlriiii Ollluurs. And still ono mictit travel all over Uussm and bardly know that the police exist. Out side of complylue with tuo passport regula tlons , whlcn nroattondcd 10 by tno managers of tbo hotels , you do not. inodt. the police more hero than in any other European city , and I Imvo not found them as offensive in their bearing as the pollco ot Now York and London. I had no trouble with thorn on the frontier. I have cur- rlod my camera with me and have taken photographs of them on foot and on horse back. 1 Imvo through them resisted the e\ < tertians of the drosousky arivcrs , and have gotten Information from tbcm lust as would from a Dollccmiin on a street corner in America. 1 have found them Just as polite In South Hnasla and In the villages along tbo Volga as I Imvo in the largo cities , and I am convinced that tbo traveler who minds his own business and goes about it without fear oiav travel juit as easily hero as in uny part of Europe. Tbojuni.v trouble I bavo had with the TlcVduring my three months Hero was in connection with Mr. Frudorlo Homlugton , the famous artist , who , li company with Mr. Poultnoy Blgelow , made a very short visit to Kussla and left In hasto. I came with Mr. Honjington nnd Mr. Blgelow on the same ship from Now York to Hamburg. I lived in the the same hotel with them At St. Petersburg and said goodby to thorn when they loft , 1 look a photograph of them in the steamer Noruiannia.on which wo crossed , nnd I think their fears of Kusslan imprison ment had moro foundation in their minds than our basis in fact. Mr. Konungton and mysnlf , whllo out rid ing ono day behind a fast droschsky horse , ran a raca with n military olllclnl and this oDlcIal was ancercd al our presumption. It was on tlio fashiunablo drlvo which goes from St. Petersburg to the islands of the Iscva. The military man bad a hotter horse than wo had and ho succeeded in passing us. Shortly after this wo came to n bridge. In tbo center of which was n policeman. Tno ofllclal cot there llrst and ho snld u word to the policeman as ho passed , and when wo came up the policeman told us wo must go back to the city. Wo piotostodbut wo could not talk Kusslan and our droschsky driver was forced to turn around nnd wo drove . back homo. Whether tbo ofllul.il was ono of the police or whether ho was n 5-cent general I do not know. Al any rate ho was big enough and small enough to take this potty rovougo and wo had to submit.

The chief of the third scutlun hero In practically the governor of the city. Ho can try suspected persons when It is norosonry In secret , rnul about "U , . 000 men were , it is said , banUhcd from the capital every year durhxr the reign of Con- ! oral Grosser. Grosser was the most famous chief of pollco the c/nr has had for years. He was n general of the army whan ho dis covered a plot to assassinate the c/ar and his oervlcos In this wcro so grout that the czai mode him the chief of the third section , Ho gave t.lni a present of $ .25,000 , u residence hero In St. Petersburg and n pension of t1,500 uycnr. General Urvssor died only a few mouths tigo nnd it was claimed by so mo that ho was assassinated , The truth of it seems to bo that ho died from taking Injections 01 lirown-Scqunrd elixir to buUtar up his wan ing houltb. The present chief of pollco Is a florco look ing man of about 40 , who Is a moro pompous man than ( hes&or was nnd who does in niters In n business way , I chatted with him In Herman for sonio time the other day and found him a vary Intelligent though some what seurotlvo onicml. A man's life U as safe In St. Petersburg as It is In Now York , nnd there is less vleo mid crlmo hero than there is In the average American city. Thcro is n policeman on every block both day nnd nicht , ami there Is always u policeman in the center of every streoi crossing. The laws of the road are such that though n man muy drlvo at the rate of twelve miles an hour down the Novskoi prospckt , nnd though the people ul ways drlvo al n breakneck pnco you never BCD collisions. There are few burglaries ana few murders hero , and tboro are lest arrests than in London. The police force of St. Petersburg consists of 2,000 men. The city is divided up into forty-two poltco districts , nnd each district lias n police tuition , with which la connected nectod a son. of pollco court. In each ono o ! these stations records are kept ot all the clll zons of the district , anil them records nro classified so that the police can tell In u mo inonttho ulstorr and standing of any man In the district. Tbeto records are umdo on papers of ulfferont colors , and tboso who are btispectcd of political oUcnsea have papsrs o a a c pa rate color from those suspected o oriinu and dangerous characters have their pollco blograohles written on a roper of bill different color. In everv ono of these pollco stations and in tbo pollco stations all ovu the oinpiro are kept lists of men who urn to bo arrested wbarover they are found , and u men who nro considered dangerous to the government. Similar lists ore sent to th oKonts of Uutsla in the different capitals o the world , and by reports from these polio scents the government knows as far as pas ilble Just where Its oooanes aro. Fculnrui Worthy al liiiltittliin. The 2,000 uolicomeu of St. Petersburg wen riilforin. There ur tens of thousands o other tneu employed bjr ih polioo who dres n citizen's elolhoi , and nvory house in Ht , 'c'.crsburR has Its nolloo nijonl nnd npy. klanv of the people hero live In Hats nnd tbo man w ho lanes unroof thon.it ts known ns ho dvornlK , ando \ is responsible to the K > llco fortho pcoplo within It , Ho reports ipou their doings ; ha sees thuttbolr pass- mrta nro correct nnd ho Itcops the polioo In * onncd ns to what KOOS on In hit house , and t U almost itnpo'Mlilo to Imvo a secret meet- tig In Kussla without Its being reported by ono of these men , These ilvornlks have n sort ot trndoi inlon among ihomsclvos and they nro cov- rncd by n chief , nnd this chief is n member of the pollco nnd Is , to n cortnln extent , ro- ponslhlo for the actions of the dvornlks. t Is necessary for ovorv householder to havu ono ot ihesa mon and often thcro nro several of thorn In asingla Hat. They have control ot iho sanitary arrangements of thu houses ns well ns the political and criminal arrangements , They nrc expected by the lollro to see that the streets In front ot their IOUSPS arc swept and watered twica u day. and St. Pntersburg hns as well kept streets ns any city in the world. Thu dvornlks nro rospouslbln for liny dirt or tilth Insldo the icmso , nnd the man who dooi not keep his louse clean In St. Petersburg can bo ar- rostcd. If the pollco see a business mnn vhoso shop is not properly cared for , they order him to clcnn It. If ho does not do so 10 mav receive an order to close up his os- abllshmcnl for a certain number of months , and ho has to do It. It Is the snmo with theaters. Ono hero In St. Petersburg hnd not ns many exits ns th pollco considered icccssary. The nmnaiccr w s playing u big engagement whou ho received nit ordir from the pollco to remedy this defect and naho tbo house H.ifo. Ho paid no attention to it and went on with his show. The result was that n few dayn later his theater was closed bv thn order of thu pollco , nnd what 10 might have repaired at Iho loss of a few lights of nutlng cost him many thousands of dolhir * . It Is the snmo with the smallest matters. J'horo is n law hcio that the barbers' shops mist bring n clonu plnco of soap nnd n clean jrusli to ovorv inuu they shave , and the bar ber who would do othcrwito would bo nr- osted. Tlio result Is that tbo order at St. I'otorsburg Is vary goad Indeed , nnd though .hero Is much drunkenness among the pcoplo there are lev brawls and practically no riots. The passport bureaus are all under the lolleo. Kvory man nnd every woman In Uussla must have a passport , and If they : uovo from one plnco to another , or Irom onu bouso to another , this passport must bo vised by the pollco. If n husband coos out of iho country and wishes his wlfo to follow him : io must arrange so that she can got a pass port from the police , and this will bo granted tier onlv on tbo application of her husband , nnd will not bo given without his permission. i'oliiMiineit I'onrly I'lilil. Every largo hotel of Russia has its pass port bureau , and you band In your passport iho moment you nrrlvo and the hotelkeeper lias it vlsod for you nnd gives It back to voulthin an hour or so. In leaving the hotel you will not need to have it again vised without you are golnc out of the country , but the landlord always aslcs you wbcro you are going , ina the mo'tnont you leave word is sent to Itie pollco as to the date of your de parture and the place nf your destination. Landlords nro compelled to nttond to Mich matters and they are fined If they do not send in the passports promptly. I have hoard of the necessity of ono always having a passport with him , nnd since I have been In Uussln I bavo carried mine constantly in my loft uroast pocket. I have uovor had It , called for , however , but H is. I am tolil , nec essary if OHO would cot checks cashed at tlio banus or letters at the postolllco. The policemen of Kussla are not very well paid nnd salaries are very low throughout the Kusslan umpire. It is the same with the soldiers. Thu czar hns something ilka 1,000,000 men in his armv , but tlioio do not receive as much as a postage stamp a day for their work , nnd the ordinary policeman onlv gets t\ \ a month. The chief of the police districts bore receives only $ lt30 ! a year , and in the Interior policemen often receive - coivo no more than S.5D a month and pay their own expenses. Everv man in Kussia is expected to help the police. All householders must kaap records of the servants they employ. There nro blanic books made for this purpose , nd in one column you must put down the date of engagement of a servant , his rollgion and whore he comes troui. You must glvo his ugo and must have a record ot his height , atzo , color , and. In fact , a regular passport description of him. You must send a notlco to the police Hint you Imvo employed him and tboy look from time to time over your servant book and out their stamp upon it. It is the same with hlrod girls as with hired men and tlio same with clerks as with house servants. When the servant leaves you you must ngnln notify the police and state wboro ho hns gone. You hnvo to pay fees nnd stamps for his service and the police hero on- lorcc the collection of stamp taxes. Not long ago there was an order passed that every receipt nnd business paper should have a stamp , and tbo pollco were about to collect this tax from a gas company In South Kussla. This company had thousands of contracts which were merely matters of record and the pollco called and tried to col lect stamp duties upon each of thoso. The owner , who was a shrewd Englishman , saw that the thing was going to cost him ubout $ 'JO , DUO , and he burned up bis contracts and Ihus evaded the tax. Ho had a book account , which enabled him to supply tbo loss , and no told mo gleefully how ho got ahead of the covern mo nt. Kent to Slbarlu. 1 chatted about the police with another ni.gllshman who llros in ono of the big towns of iho black plain ana who was very angry at tuo pollco survoilanco which was kept over him. Said ho : "You can't do anything hero that is not known to the pollco nnd there are -splos everywhere , Your servants watch you , and even a beg. gar may hu u .spy. If a mnn does anything ' that Is out of the way ho is put'under pollco supervision a > id ho has to report every month or everv week to the polico. I hnd a clerk with mo not long auo who was supposed to bo a frcc-thinkor. Ho had to report to the pollco every month. Ono night wo missed him , nnd wo did not hear of him for about two months. Ho had benn taken off in irons to St. Petersburg , nnd ho \\as kupt In prison there a month. Then his accusers wcro brought to the city , and this man was brought out with 'thirty others , but his accusers could tint pick him out of the lot nnd thu result was that the authorities released him. As soon as he was released ho was told ho could huvo u frco ticket homo If he would wait for it , but ho Haiti that ho ntotorrud to pay his fure and co at once , and lit ) did so. "It ia not , uncommon for mon tobosuut from horn to Siberia. Many of them do not go In prison gangs , They merely receive orders fioin St. Potewburg to ropo'rt to the poliro at certain stations mSiberia and tore- main thorn until they rocelvo permission to leave. Once thuro they can ongupo In any business they please , provided they make their ropoits properly , and sometimes the } klny for years. When they come back they say but llttlu about their experiences In Sl < bcria , and they are very carolul of their ul- inrancos In thu future , The majority of tbo persons sent to Siberia are for criminal and not political offenses. U'lion n bank faiU hero the directors got 'wolf passports' or tickets for Siberia , and If a man commits murder he Is sent to Slboua for llfo. I'horo Is not a great deal of Hogging done In tuo prisons , but banishment takes its placo. " Speaking of the spy system ot Kussla , whllo I was at Nijoi-Novvorod tbo governor detailed his private secretary to go with me , and this man was very particular to Know Just what I WHS doing and for what pur pose. Ho pretended that , ho wanted it for newspaper publication , but 1 afterwards learned that ho was a spy , anil I doubt not the story I told him was scut right on to St. Petersburg. During my stay there I look dinner nt a gentleman's bousn at which thin private sec retary was present , anil at this ono of the ladies at the table romanced in English ttut Ihoro wore sptea every where nnd there was one nt ibis vorv table , but owing ve his not understanding English ho wouta not ba able to report our conversation , l'ruU uf Kiunltiu I'rUoni , I have boon surprised In faot to find out hoiv fraelv people talk in Russia about thu government. They discuss t tin czar and the officials openly , and it eeoms to me that tboy are qultoas free in tnls icsuectns wouroiu the United States. 1 Hnd less rod tape about the o 111 cos bore In St. Polttriburc inan 1 have found in any of the other capitals of Kuropo and though uihIIUts and socialists are un doubtedly wptrhed carefully Iho people ao not seem to boafram ot the pollco ns mucl as is supposed , and iho ) have their good points as well as their bad ones. 1 ha\ paid * t > mo attention to thn prisons of European Jtusda.

Thov are fully as clean ns our prisoners and thu Kusslnn prisoner s given n bath ns good as n Turkish bath every week.

Doncdlct nnd McKolver , There are a great many musical comodtes , but nonn has pleased the American publlo as well ns "Our Irish Visitors" has in "tho past tou years. "Our Irish Visitors" Is u llvolv comedy , superior , In fact , to the present dny farce coraody nnd horse play , nnd Is posi tively not a variety show In disguise. The dlalougo Is bright and crisp , a laugh In every line , the spaclaltlos novel , attractive and cn- tcrtnltiincr. Mr. Sam J Kynn , a well nnd favorably known comedian ot exceptional meritami formerly co-star with Marli Murphy in "O'Oowd's Neighbors , " cnaots the char acter of Colonel Uilhooley and has lost none of his power In making people lauch. His actions are awkward turl fur.uy , his brogue , of n quiet sort , is unapproachable and pe culiarly his own , while that Inimitable laugher or gurgle would move a stole. Frank Davis ns Aluennan McCilnnis makes an excellent foil for Kvau and they both work together capitally. There is probably no soubretlo who has sprung into greater favor and prominence - inonco In recent years than Lottie Gilson , Now York's ' fine favorite , called "Tho Little Magnet , " nnd she is growing In favor onch day by a cortnin native gift and has made n lasting Impression In the part of Dorothy that will toll for many years to como. The supporting company is composed of well known favorites. "Our Irish Visitors" will bo prosentea at the Farnam Street theater ono solid week , commencing this ( Sunday ) matinee.

Mr. Wllllums is so well known throughout tbo length and breadth ot the land , that it is entirely superfluous to describe him further than to bay lhat ho Is now the onlv legitimate German dialect comedian ou the American stage. That interesting dramatic novelty , "Yon Youson , " Is the coming attraction at Boyd's ' now theater and wlil open n thrco nlcht's engagement Sunday , November 1 ! ! . Since It was last scon here this piece has enjoyed a run of 100 nights In Now York and received the endorsement of tbo metropolitan press as a unit. What few rough edges were noted In the early productions of the play have been polUhod off and It ts now pro nounced n sterling comedy drama destined to livu a long time. The claim of novelty perhaps first attracts theater-goers to this play , and when tbuy have studied its merits from all points o't view , there Is discovered a substantial foun dation for the encouragement of iho pan on ot high class dinmalio art. The him- pie , honest hearted immigrant whoso niitlve goodness ot purpofe enables him to quickly detect tbo cunning schemer and come to the aid of Iho innocent victim appeals to nil classes , mid when ar tistically portrayed , nt once wins the esteem of nil admirers of the natural In atago pic tures. Mr. Heece's delineation of the title role In "Yon Yonson" has won for htm the admiration of critics and the public. Tbo scenic and mechanical effects are no less novel than the play Itself. The actual break ing of nu Immense log Jam U said to bo iho acino of claco realism , and a most thrilling effect. The Minnesota lumber camp in midwinter - winter nnd the view of St. Anthony Fails by moonlight , rival in splendor any otiort of the scene painter yet seen In this country.and thorn are ether ttarlllng devices Introduced which render the production u positive sccnlo triumph , The piiro Juloo of the grape naturally fer mented , that Is what Conk's Extra Dry Champagne it.
