Her population is estimat ed at 136,000000. Thiat iis a large num ber., But there are, for example, siome 9,000,000 Polfes, who are almost literally pinned fast ' to Russia with bayonets; and more than 6,000,000 Fins, who are Ibeing alienated in Bplrit with rapidi ty and succesS. There are nearly 6, 000,000 Lithuanians and 11,000,000 Turks, and there are '4,000,000 Jews who are held in semi-servitude and semi-outlawry. These and "other alien elements are commdngllnigt with the whole mass, but remain apart from it in distinct communities., Deductang them, the real Russian population Sis found) not to exceed about 1 86,000 which ds not much in excess of othel-' nations..
