GENERAL CABLES.
BERLIN, Nov. 5. There arrived at Kiel from Russia a steamer with 323 migrants of German blood, who are the vanguard of possibly a wholesale migration of some of Russia’s best peasant stock. They are descendants of German settler's established in Russia by Catherine the Great and Alexander 1., who intended them to serve as a model for the native peasantry. Though their example was not followed, they themselves thrived and their descendants. The migrants continued their journev to Hamburg, where they embarked for Canada. Before their departure they declared that life in rural Russia had become impossible. Those on State farms were just serfs. PERTH, Nov. 5. A registered mail bag consigned to Wellington, New Zealand, has been stolen. With three other registered bags it was placed on a lorry for the Central Station, and later in the evening the Wellington bag was missed. Since that time detectives have been unable to locate it.
