Advices from Yakootsk, Sibe ria, report
another mutiny of Siberian convicts. This
outbreak occurred on board a steamer in
the river Iona, there being many convicts
on the vessel. The inha bitants of village
which the steamer was passing came to the
convicts' assistance and helped them to dis
arm and bind the guards of the escort. The
vessel was then setl adrift. The governor OF
the province sent troops in pursuit, who
killed two of the fugitives and recaptured
five of them. The minister of the interior
has ordered an investigation.
Grave International complications may
arise from the condemnation at Sherbrooke,
Canada, to one years imprisonment for
contempt of court OF Leda Lamontague, who
was extradited some time ago from the
United States upon charge ofarson. Leda' s
brother was being tried for murder, and the
Canadian authorities sought to use her as a
witness against him, but she absolutely re-
fused, contendng that she had not been sur
rendered by the American authorities as a
Witness but on the charge OF arson. for which
she was ready to stand her trial. Leda's
counsel contends that her condemnation for
contempt was a breach OF faith with the
American authorities, who consented to her
extradiction for an entirely different purpose,
and if he fails to have her sentence annulled
he will take the case to Washington, and the
secretary of state will be asked to remon-
strate with the Canadian authorities, and to
demand an explanation of the apparent
breach of international faith involved in the
sentence.

Clark was on the Lockout for the express.
The latter was on time and, as the head

flashed through Clark's mind that the
switch was open, and that if it was not
closed the express would dash into
the coal train. No sooner did the
thought enter his brain than he dashed
out Of the door, rushed to the switch and
swung it over. Then he realized, but too
late his mistake. AS the switch was
turned, the express swung on to the
sidetrack and the crash of the en-
