DIR. Hack luke, the famous English lu-
macy expert, has published report on the
condition of the government insane asylum
in the province of Quebec, in which he says
It is impossible to convey any adequate
idea Of the horrors he witnessed, and can
only liken the treatment adopted as q relic
of barbarism. In the upper flat in a small
room he found sixty men confined, all I'M
der restraint, handcuffed and strapped to
their chairs. In other parts of the building
he found cells without windows and with
wretched ventilation. In q totally dark
cell he discovered man stark naked, lying
on straw and handcutfed to a belt. In an
other man deaf and dumb was similarly
manacled, in an empty cell, without bed or
bedding. The woman's room he described
Is chamber OF horror, and even more ter
rible than the portion where the men were
kept. In conclusion he says it Is amazing
that colony Of England can present, such
spectacle as he describes. The asylum is
under charge of the nuns and government
inquiry will be instituted.
