Then he heard each one explain his
grievances. Referring 10 the law and
his secret instructions. he threw an i'm
mense amount Of pstlIos into his tones
as he advised Us. as the best and shortest
means 10 solution OF our troubles. 10
petition the all merciful great White
Gar, OF whose mercy and goodness you
have no conception. with the greatest
contrition for causing him trouble, and
you win be pardoned by him"
After fourteen years OF life in prison,
in mines and in exile, such an act Is
beneath human dignity" our friend Y.
replied. What. appeal for mercy after
such unjust trostmentf' We became
anxious for the fate OF our friend who
could show such tenerity in the gen
erals presence.
Below your dignity TO petition to the
czarv cried the general.
The general rose, and so did Y.
"Wbat shall l ask? Why. was kept

mines | was taken To the Petropavlouski
fortress and kept three years in solitary
confinement, and even here / was kept

expired. This in addition 10 my severe
sentence" said X, calmly but with de
termination.
"Ah! ahl ah" shorted Gen. Rousi
noff, advancing toward x. This IS very
interesting TO me; very interesting, IN
deed, TO listen to such language"
Mr.. Y next complained that the chic
Of police, Nekrassof, supecting him Of
the authorship Of the letters accusing hin
of stealing the golden saber, intended
sending him far away from Tomsk. IL
had purchased the instruments Tor hi
ship on borrowed money, and if the
chief of police carried out his intentions
his creditor would be q loser to the ex
tent OF 900 rubles.

"For six months have been unable K
obtain passport to which l am justly
entitled by law" 1 began. But at thi
juncture a gendarme appeared ON tn
scene and announced the criminals Goly
bfefr, Obedzinski and Roubleff, and we
without further ceremony, were obliged
20 take our departure. On leaving th'
general said: Very well. very well
good-by; and with you, Mr. x, vii
speak some other time, we shall see yol
again, II not at present then on my re

We afterward ascertained that tn
general parted with every exile in mucl
the same manner. The result Of tn
investigation made by this commission
was that The Siberian Gazette, Tor Civ
ing employment % exiles, has been pro
hiDited. An exile employed on tn
statistical bureau was discharged. Tn
candy mandatory of 4. 81. Roub
LETT was closed. and We wero all inail
sent from Tornsk Even those who's
terms had expired wero sent with n
rest. This Is a sample q Russian Jus
tice. It was by such means as Just men
toned that Gen. RousinoG bettered on
