Further Details of the outrages at Kara.

LONDON, Feb. 22.-Further details of the
outrages at the political prison at Kara
reached Russian exiles in London to-day.
1t appears the trouble originated in the
hunger strike in August, when the women
political prisoners tried to starve them
selves to death to escape the brutalities of
their iailers. All the women prisoners ab.
stained from food for fourteen days.
At first the iailers jeered at the
women, then tempted them with
food, and then finding this Of
no avail, threatened them. When
several women were at the point of death
from voluntary abstinence from food the
prison officials resorted to artificial means
10 compel them to take nourishment. The
methods adopted, however, were violent
and hcentiOus and the women were COM
PEELED to abandon the strike. Abominable
outrages followed. This state of affairs
led Madame Sigida, whose death by fog
ging has already been announced, TO
ask for an interview with the direc-
tor of the prison, in the hope of
securing some amelioration of the condi-
ton of the prisoners. The request was
granted, but she found him so abusive
that in her evaporation she called him
villain and slapped his face. Madame ST.
gida was then taken from the directors
Office and conveyed to the prison in which
common offenders are confined. Three of
her companions from among the political
prisoners were permitted to join her.
Some time later Baron Kortf sent special
order directing that Madame Siglda be
punished according to regulations,
and the order was executed to the
fullest extent. The punishment was
so severe that death ensued from
rupture of the heart. Her three COM
panions committed suicide within an hour
of the time of hearing of Sigidais death.
Many hearing of the hogging and suicides
carried out their threat TO suicide. They
met together and thirty of them shared what
poison they could obtain. That evening
two died from their commissions, and th}
dead silence which reigned in the othei
cells reused the attention of the guards,
who Immediately summonded physicians,
! who administered emetics to the survivors
and endeavored by every means to counter.
act the effects of the poison.

The New York Southern Society.

New YORK, Feb. 22.-The fourth an
nual dinner of the New York Southern
society tonight was largely attended.
President Calhoun in his address referred
TO the loss the south had sustained in the
death of Jefferson Davis and Henry w.
Grady, and concluded: ''Let us seek to win
the admiration of the people of the north
by our devotion 70 the union and intense
love OF every section of our common coup-
try.'
The principal speaker of the evening was
ex-President Cleveland, who RESPONDED
to the toast. ''The birthday of George
Washington" In introducing him MIR
Calhoun spoke briefly of Mr.. Cleyeland's
political career, saying in conclusion:
''Since the expiration of his term he has
lived among US the most unassuming of cit
liens but bearing with him constantly in
the incoming and outgoing of his daily
lie the respect and confidence and love of
the people over whom he presided in a
manner and to an extent never equalled
since the days of Washington himself.u
When Mr.. Cleveland rose he was greeted
with great applause.
MIR. Cleveland said the statement that
we have too few holidays is perhaps true.
1t would be strange indeed if this day
should ever be neglected by our fell
at least one day which should
recall to our minds the truth
that the price of our country
was the unselfish labor and sacrifice of the
men who fought and suffered that we might

are necessary elements to full and con-
lnued enjoyment of American freedom.
prosperity and happiness. There is danger
that we may grow reckless of the fact that
q
which for their own sake should be zeal
ously watched and guarded; and
there is danger that this condi-
lion may induce selfishness and
sordiness followed by the idea that
patriotism and morality have no place in
state craft, and that political career NAV
be entered upon like any other trade for
private profit and advantage. This is a
frightful departure from the doctrines
upon which our institutions rest and
surely 1T is the extreme of folly to hope
that our scheme of gov eminent will effect
its purpose and intent when every conoi-
lion Of its birth and life IS neglected. Mr..
Cleveland called attention to these words of
George Washington: SIT is substantially
true that virtue or morality is the neces-
sary spring of popular. government and
added: when did we outgrow these sen
lments! Let US be sober and thoughtful,
and II we find these things have lost their
hold on our minds and hearts let us take
soundings for the rocks near"
John Semple Graves, of Rome, Ca,

THE CHIEF JUSTICE
Of the United States Praises Our
Judicial System.
CUSTOMS STATIONS IN ALASKA.
The National Memorial In Philadelphia
Lenten Fast Abolished this Year-Addi-
tional Appropriations Asked For.

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-At the anniversary
celebration at the Union Leage club this
evening in honor of Washington's birth
day, an interesting programme was pre-
sented. Several speeches were made, the
principal one by Chief Justice Fuller on
"Our Federal Judiciary" The sentiment,
he said, is obviously appropriate to the
celebration of Washington's birthday, for
it was Washington who urged upon the
continental congress while the smoke of
Bunker Hill still fingered in the air the
creation of federal tribunal with juris-
diction co-extensive with what were the
united colonies and provinces of Great
Britain in North America, and later when
the constitution was put into opera
ton, Washington, with character
istic sagacity, forseeing the great
part which the judicial department would
play IN the development of our
institutions called it in his letter rendering
the chief justiceship to Jay, the 'skeystone
of the political fabric.n The chief Justice
spoke of the judgments and powers of the
federal judicial department, and said that
nothing has done more TO comm end that
department to the confidence and respect
of the people than it's scrupulous absti-
nence from the decision of strictly political
questions and its rigid adherence to the
exercise of none but judicial powers, and
it is this acquiescence of the union of the
states, the people and their au
thorities in the conclusions of the
judicial department that demonstrates
the success of popular government, since
it implies a capacity to observe self i'm
posed restraints. 'It seems to me as the
years roll on that the judiciary gains more
and more in the affection and trust of
the people, national and state, for the
federal and state courts are parts
of one whole, and their lights shine from
the same armament alike. They seek that
understanding of heart which will enable
them to discern between that which is good
and that which is bad, and so to sit wisely
in judgment amid this SO great people,
the people of George Washington

Club Upon this Much-debated Subject.
BosToN, Feb. 22.-The Massachusetts
club to-day listened to an address upon the
southern question by George w. Cable.
After sharp arraignment of the various
new schemes for avoiding the simple neces-
stiles of free government, deportation, dis
reimbursement, etc., Cable said: eff men
cannot reconcile their self-regard or sense
of expediency to declare for equality in all
public rights at once, let them
try a few at a time During the
two years and half before the next
presidential election let it be made plain
that federal intervention is not the willing
choice of the republicans or any party,
and that what it, with the whole nation,
most covets for every southern state is as
full, universal and prosperous self govern
ment as can be found in any part of the
nation and then in the name of the common
welfare and the nations honor let the word
be spoken that if by 1892 any state in
this union has not at least
begun, with good show of completing.

PRESCOTT. Ariz., Feb. 22.-The fine large
storage dam built acrass the Hassayampa
river by the Walnut Grove Water Storage
company two years ago, at cost of
$500, 600, gave way this morning under the
great pressure of the heavy flood and

OF this city, prints to-day letter from its
Roman correspondent, in which he says
the congregation of the universal sinquisi-
ton has issued a decree signed by Cardinal
Monaco and published in the official organ
by the Vatican abolishing lenten fast and
abstinance this year. This is extended to
the whole world, the letter says, wherever
ordinaries shall judge such dispensation
necessary. The reason for setting aside
lenten obligation, it is claimed, is the pre-
vailing influenza which is making such
rayages III all parts of Europe, and thought
to be prevalent in the United States. This
decree, it is said, was quite surprise to
Roman Catholics, as il is stated to be the
first one of the kind ever issued in the his
tory of the church.
