Secret Orders of Count Nell
UnexampIed Brutality to
Women.

Hat is my pleasure to supply the demand
rs for information regarding Siberian
II prisons by placing before my readers
two letters, written by women exiled in
Siberia, which l recently received. These
letters present timely addition TO what
became recently known concerning Siberia,
and an interest the greater in that. to my
belief, they are the only ones of the kind
that ever reached America.
They will argue with the readers the sub
1ect of Russian Nihilism and imperial des-
potism in way and with an impartiality
of which l am not capable; for, while l, as
an interested party. might not be abso-
lutely impartial, as l might view the facts
In 4 light to suit the interests Of Nihilists,
of whom l am one. yet the letters from ST.
IBERIA do not place their authors at such a
disadvantage. They were written to the
friends and relatives of the eXied women,
and with a tenor that leaves no doubt Of
their commences and sincerity.

readers will undoubtedly remember that all
the recent cable news Of which | spoke be-
fore pertained to events in Siberia which
occurred also three years ago.
Leaving Lake Baikal behind, the exiled
Nihilists continue their eXhausting jour-
ney further eastward. On the road they
meet the small towns Of Tchita, Nerchinsk
and finally Szetensk, where they embark on
board steamer which takes them up Shilka
River to Oust-Kara, a penal settlement with
n number OF prisoners. Fifteen verSts
about nine niles further east another con-
Wet settlement. the Lower Kara, Is met.
Here male political prison" was erected
in 1877, the female political prison being
located at Oust-Kara.
Still further east, right TO the shores Of
the Pacific and off the mainland on the
island of Sahalin, and for thousands Of
miles north of the AnOor River, in the
Arctic and silO-Arctic regions Of Eastern
Siberia, dozen other insignificant settle
ments or ''urta" of the nOmadc Monaghan
tribe OF Jakontes are scattered here and
there. There the Nihilists who have finished
their term of hard labor In the mines Of
Gust and Lower Karas are depOrted TO Yer
h0lensk In one OF these settlements.
1t was the lot Of my good and fortunate
friend BibOrgal, to be the pioneer exile in
the Lower Kara. This was in 1878. Soon
after other Nihilist exiles followed him I'M
til IL 1882 there were over 100 males and ten
females located On both Karas. To-day their
number is many hundreds.
They were all young and educated men
and women, who participated in the events
of 1S77-18S1-the period of the greatest ac-
tiyity of the Nhilsts, like silent shadows,

with Russian despotisnl. cast their lot and
as suddenly disappeared MORALLY wounded,
and since which not one of them remains
free but my humble self, and but few are
alive to be found in the wilderness OF ST.
IBERIA.
Until 1852 the life of political exiles on
the two Karas was, comparatively speak
ing, bearable, inasmuch as, like their neigh
bors, the criminal exiles, they had to work
in the nrar-by gold mines, which are the
personal property OF the Russian Car.
Hard as their work was, it supplied the
necessary physical exercise so vital in the
condition of men and women for years
penned in the narrow wards of prisons.
