served at a temperature which was at
no time less than probably twelve or
fifteen degrees below the freezing point

Changes in the Laws for the Punishment |
of Women.

ST.. PETERSBURG, November %. -
Some time ago the Chief Prison Admin
istration Of Russia prepared measure
providing for certain changes in the
treatment of female prisoners. 1t was
sent, through the Minister of the In
terror, to the Council of the Empire tan
advisory legislative body. BY this
measure it is provided that women ban
ished to Siberia shall not hereafter be
liable to corporal punishment there, but
that, instead Of this penalty, they shall
be disciplined by transportation to the
Isle OF Saghalen.
The new measure contains also pro-
vision in reverence to the treatment of
those women already held in Saghalien
who have committed offcnses that are
punishable under the existing laws by
the knout or the rod. 1t provides tnat
hereafter such women shall be punished
by solitary Imprisonment. For each
stroke Of the knout ten days of such i'm
prisonment shall be substituted, and for
each stroke of the rod two days.
The measure will probably be adopted
by the Council Of the Empire; it will af
terward be approved by the Car, and
then it will be promulgated and enforced
under his authority.
News has been received in certain cir
cles here that George III. Kennan is hor
rifying the American people by his de-
scriptions of the atrocities that are
perpetratcd upon prisoners in Siberia
by the agents of the Car. But Mr.
Kennan ought to draw distinction be-
tween the character of the autocratiC
government and that of the Russian
race. We heard in former years Of evi
deeds perpetrated be rulers of New
York, but it would be unfair to say that
the people of New York were guilty OF
those deeds. There is not in all the
world more gentle-minded race than
the Russian or more despotic ruler
than the Car

at least 10000 persons.
The sun was shining brightly upon
the field and the ground was good and
firm when Ut 1850 o'clock Jim Robinson,
the Princeton trainer, rushed into the
field, closely followed by the Princeton
eleven and substitutes.
The yell that greeted their appear
ance was taken up before it had died
away by the Yale enthusiasts as the
Yale team with Captain Rhodes in the
lead marched Sedately on the grassy
field. 1t was just two o'clock when
Princeton won the toss and secured the
ball, Yale having the choice OF held.
When the referee called time, the
vast crowd uttered one long yell, and
rushed for the trains. Several were
trampled on, and the police were utterly
helpless. The final score was 81 to o In

CoLUMBUs, o., November 27.-Gov-
ernor Campbell has again granted
respites TO Henry Pof and Isaac
Smith, who were sentenced to hang in
in the penitentiary annex tonight. He
has now fixed the date of their execution
to be December 10Th. Poff was once
before granted respite, which was
unique in the historyof Ohio from the fact
that the papers did not reach him until
three hours of the time fixed for his ex-
ccuton. He had consolation when his
lease of life finally arrived. This time
Poff and Smith were both within little
more than six hours of death when their
reprieves reached the pcnitentiary.
Smiths case is also without a para
lell in the criminal history Of Ohio.
This last reprieve makes the seventh
time that the date of his execution has
been postponed Smith was convicted
in Pike county Of the murder Of one 5.
Kidmore, on evidence which was purely
circumstantial. He has always strong
protested that he had nothing to dc
with the crime and it is now said that
evidence has been discovered which will
establish his innocence.
