SIBERIA Permission to publish a newspaper in Nerchinsk, Eastern Si- beria, is denied. The Sprdvochni Listok of Samara is suspended and its office closed. The Moscow Kurier is suspended for three months. An article by Count Leo Tolstoi is torn from the May number of the magazine Bussian Thought by order of the censor and burned. The Novgorod Listok suspends " as a result of causes over which its editors and publishers have no control." The Strand is suspended for four months because it has mani- fested " a pernicious tendency and taken a most discourag- ing view of the state of affairs in the country." The third number of the Moscow Zritel is seized and con- fiscated. The Moscow Telegraph receives a second warning. The review Annals of the Fatherland receives a second warn- ing " for sympathizing with socialistic doctrines and for dwelling on the dark side of Russian life."
