Probably one of the best known of the passengers who sailed to-fey aboard the Empress of Asia Was General Grigory Simionov, self-proclaimed leader of the anti-Bolsheviki forces in Siberia, with his wife. Since he last crossed the Pacific, early in March, he has had quite a few adventures. Then, on landing here off the Empress of Russia, he was temporarily detained in the city while an immigration board investigated his plans. He had given out to the press that he wished to visit Canada, the United States and France with a view to placing large loans for the new Siberian Government. On reaching New York he was soon in conflict with the United States authorities following a court case in which he was sued for $160,000, the value of furs allegedly seized by him and his troops in Siberia. The prominence given to his presence in the city in the press led to demonstrations by Russians who had felt the sting of Cossack whips in the old days, then when his bondsman failed him he had the experience of spending a few days in gaol. Sickness added to his misfortunes and he hobbled off the C.P.R. train here on crutches. Now the general and his wife are on their way to Harbin in the hope of finding quiet and rest which they did not get on this continent.
