By Eugene Schuyler, Charge d'Affaires of the Legation of the United States

September 29, 1872, St.Petersburg Rsa

On the assumed theory of their being hurtful to the population at large, they are under the special supervision of the government, and are restricted, in their place of abode, their occupations, acquisition of property, mode of life, dress, education, and manner of worship."
