THE RUSSIAN TREATMENT OF TURK
IsH PRISONERS.
IN. Y. Times. ]

According to the local papers, which
publish nothing unless authorized 80 to
do by the Russian Press Bureau, the
majority Of the prisoners are marched
by road as far as the frontier, the
wounded only and the officers being
Sent on by rail. They are in gangs OF
forty, fifty and sixty men, manacled to-
gether in couples, and attached to a
chain passing from the first to the rear
most files, and in this condition are
obliged to make the entire journey
consists of those gentle savages, the
Cossacks, who are enjoined to behave
with every consideration to the hapless
captives. How this injunction is obeyed
I leave my readers to judge, recon-
mending to their perusal the recital
Of the amenities which they
have displayed already at Niko-
polls and other places in Bulga-
ria, according to the testimony
Of even those we'll known Russophites,
the correspondents Of the London Times,
the Daily Netrs and the Manchester
Guardian. There would have been a
howl Of virtuous indignation II the hea-
then Turks had presumed on such a
violation Of the law OF nations, and /
don't think that similar instance OF
the treatment of soldiers like galley
slaves has been seen in Europe for a
couple of centuries; but here it Is passed
almost unnoticed, or, IL spoken Of at
all, as being quite natural, as so nu-
merous a detachment Of prisoners, IL
not in chains, would require too large
an escort to be spared by the Russians
under present circumstances. At least
such is the view taken of the case by
the distinguished gentleman who now
directs the semi official newspaper in
whose columns are to be found the
ideas of the government, revised and
corrected in accordance with the instruc-
tions issued from the Bureau Of the Rus
sian Police,

THE CHINESE IN AUSTRALIA.

The Chinese question is greatly dis
tressing the English colonies in Austria
liza. The Vice President OF the Execu-
tive Council of Queensland has recently
written to the Agent General in Lon
don, expressing strong fears that both
the rights and the civilization of the
people may be compromised, and that
their social and political system may be
imperilled if, on any plea whatever,
Chinese immigration is forced upon
them against their wishes and their
interests. The people of that portion
Of Australia will be the first to feel the
change and its consequences.

dull. Meeting with fair demand, State Consos
