Fottce Megulations t Feretzn mtrtes Lend To Thetr Dixuse. Phere -are few countries ie whioh travelers now tequire passports in or- der to promote their convenience and scourity. Tn Brazil and Venezuela a passport must be shown to the offi- cials before one is allowed to leave the country for n foreign port. This is vexatious measure, spforoed, appar- ently, for the sake of enabling few officials to collect small feos. In Russia passport regulations are enforced with great stringency. No traveler ix allowed to enter the empire -he haa obtained a passport and eonvinoed the Russian consular oft. cers at the port from which he saila that he-is- neither Roman Catholic priest nor a Hebrew. The question ordinarily asked is: What is your re- ligiont but it is designed to provide against the entry of either of these two classes. : When the traveller arrives at 9 Russian port with s passport, which ams been properiy viseed and counter- one of tically examined by a police officer, and duly registered. At-the entrance: of the hotet-anoth- er police officer takes possession of the document, and in the course of 24 bo retans it with a permit for limited residence in the country. Yhen the traveler-departs for an- sity in the empire he must have the passport countersigned by the police. Thia process continues unt he reaches the frontier, which he can not Gross unless the passport has bean vigeed ard stamped by the police. Not infrequently tourists are stopped at the frontier, and subjected to comply with the police regalations respecting pass- ports. All this red tape causes annoyance and irritation among tourists, who are pt to overlook the fact that Rassians, aa-well as foreigners. are compelled to observe these police regulations. It the poliee to know: where everybody lodges. A permit is required if a native removes from one quarter of the town to another. Kv. erybody is fegistered by the police when he arrivos or departs, and for- eigners, when they are in Russia, are dealt with on equal terms with resi- dents. Fhe same aysteim prevails ip Turkey, where it is not icable for a for cigner to travel witw- gt;t 9 passport. Elsewhere-in Europe passports are not required. They are relics of bygone period when communications between countries were slow and infrequent. Now that all nutions are drawn to- gether by the ties of constant inter- course, 8 passport is out of date, ex- cept in countries like Russia and Tur- key.
