from st. Petersburg the 10th OF October supplies
the following interesting report
The Russian authorities are now in curious DIM
Gully with some Carmellte nuns near DubnO, in Vol
hynla The affair has none OF the horrible details
which gave so strong an interest to that OF the
stinate and prolonged resistance on the part OF o
few women to the whole power OF Russian Official
ism and orthodoxy. may add that the facts am
about to relate are taken entirely from Russian
sources.
There Is the vicinity OF the town Of Dubno Car
melite convent and short distance from the latter
Is hermitage, which Is said to have formerly been
the residence OF Russian saint This hermitage is
balit an island in o river, which can only be
reached by passing through the convent. Some
eight years ago the Russian clergy applied TO the
government 1or permission 70 convert the hermitage
urging tnat this would be the most appropriate mode
Of honoring the SAINT who had formerly occupied It,
The government gave the required permission. and
1t decided that the erection OF the buildings
should commence in 1862 But when the architect
TO superintend the conveyance OF the building
materials the island when las staled) could
only be done by passing them through the convent,
the ady superior declared tnat sne could not per-
highway, especially as Il was proposed TO send large
professions from the town to the new monastery.
Upon this the architect appealed TO the civil author
ites VINO ordered judicial inquiry into the right OF
way through the convent. The lady superior de.
clared that this right had belonged the convent
the last 200 years. and the Roman Catholic bishop OF
Zib0mir warmly interceded in her behalf. Mean
while the officials or rather tho Clergy who urged
sion, accompanied by officer OF gendarmes, ap-
peared before the gates OF the convent.
On applying for admission they were told the
gates were locked by order OF the supe-
rior, aud finding. after long pariey
with the FORTRESS, that there chance OF their
being opened, they climbed the wall. on reach
ing the entrance to the convent they were met by the
assembled nuns, with the abbcss at their head who
sternly called on them to withdraw. The leader OF
the commission upon this strongly expressed his
surprise at the conduct Of the nuns declaring that In
the whole course Of his Qfcal career he had meyer
met with case oil such bold resstance to Authority
The superior, h0wevar persisted In her opposition.
and the commission ultimately decided that there
was nothing for 1t but to 90 back again. As the
FORTRESS still kept the door locked the commission
had TO return in the samo undigni1ed way as they
came. Since then many negotiations have taken
place order to induce the nuns to YIELD but all In
vain The Russian newspapers now urge the gov
ernment to put an end 10 the diffculty by at once
aoolishng the convent, on the ground that the
resistance OF the nuns is an insult to tho Russian
nationality.
