He Thinks an Agitation in America
Would lDo Much for Siberian Prisoners.
LONDON. March 15.-Thc attention of
Serxius Stepniak. the Russian liberal,
was called to-day to the fact that some
portion OF the press expressed doubt as to
the authenticity and trtistworthiness of
the recently published accounts of out
raRes to which the political prisoners OF
Siberia were subjected. Stcpniak said
tho features of these accounts were fully
corroboratcd by such portions of the off,
cial option complied by the Russian gov
ernnlcnt as had bccn given tn the
public. Speaking i'm reference to the
prisons, as published in the London Times
yesterday, Stepniak said. IL is almost inn.
possible To exaggcrate the suhcrings oil
the political prisoners in Siberia at tho
hands of prison officials. The Grent merit
OF Kcnnan's accounts is that they arc
based "n facts learned not only from the
officials. Russians say that western
writer's have it3eaIixcd tho nihiiists beyond
oil resemblance to reality. This view,
Stepniak says. Is the grosscst calumny.
Political exiles, he asserts, arc drawn
proof. moral sentiment must bc looked
Tor among them. The tortures and de-
graduation which they have experienced
la prison has not been able to ssxtinRuish
their moral sense. Stepniak expressed
the conviction that an agitation ia Amer
of political prisoners i'm Siberia caI.uot
fail to have influence with Russian ofil-
cials, from the czar down. He is freely
confident il will result i'm mitigating the
severity of treatment which ~ now en-
forced against political exilcs.
