RUSSIAN PRISON TRAGEDY.
Beautiful Woman's Sutcide-Political al
Prisoners Shot.


NEW York, Feb. IA dispatch from
Paris states that cipher letter has just
been received by Russian refugee in
that city, dated December 2S, which
gives the details of horrible tragedy
IN the political prison at Kara, Eastern
Siberia. Nine. Nadyda Sihida, of noble
birth and teacher in the High School
at Moscow, WAS found last year with
revolutionary pamphlets in her posses
sion, and sentenced to penal servitude.
On her arrival at Kara this handsome,
refined woman soon attracted the atten
ton of the director of prison, who took
an early opportunity to insult her.
Nine. SIhida boxed the ears of the
director, who, in revenge, had her
stripped and tiogged in the presence of
all the men in the prison. Such an out
rage had not been perpetrated on a
woman of rank since the days of the
Empress Catherine. and the unfortun-
ate lady was so apprehenslve OF
further shame and torture that she
committed suicide on the same day by
poisoning herself. Several of the other
female political prisoners, fearful of re-
ceivinS similar treatment, on hearing of
the terrible event followed her exam
pie. A few miles from the women's
political prison at Kara is that occupied
by male political convlcts, who, on
hearing o. the tragedies revolted en-
masse. Iroors were called out, and
awful scenes followed-shooting, fog.
ging and torturlng going on by whole
sale. Up to this time the Russian au-
thorities have been able to suppress all
news of the occurrence.

was decided 10 strictly enforce the
provisions of the expulsion law against
the Young duke.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 10.-The
resolution appropriating $75. .OOC for the
relief of starving Indians at La Porte
Agency, having passed both houses, was
signed by Speaker Reed to-day and
went to the White House this after
noon. Senators Sawyer and Spoon
er, and Representative McCord
have pushed this matter with
all possible haste. 1t has been the prac-
tice of Chippewa Indians to contract
for cutting and selling timber on their
reservation to provide food and other
necessaries of lie. The Interior De-
partment denied permission to cut tim
ber this winter until necessary
legislation was had, and great
suffering has resulted. This money
will be used in purchasing food and
clothing, and the secretary of interior is
giving discretion to purchase by con-
tract or open market. The money is to
be paid back to the United States out OF
proceeds of sales of land or timber
hereafter made.

Recent Murder In Pennsylvanio the
Work of the Notorious Gang.
PHd.SINvIILE, Pa, Feb. S.-That the
notorious organization known as the
Mollie Maguires is still in existence is
belle ,ed by the authorities of Chester
County, who have reason to suspect
that Patrick Hagney, the special officer
Of the Philadelphia 4 Reading
day morning in this town, was
that society. The Reading Company
has officers working on the clue, which,
1t is thought, may lead TO the unearth-
ing OF the famous organization which
infested the Pennsylvania coal regions
few years ago, or at least result IN the
discovery OF society formed for slml-
lar purposes.
When Chief Of Police Joseph Moore, Of
PhHnIXyllle, began an investigation OF
the circumstances connected with the
shooting OF Hagney, he found large
piece OF paper tackled to q wheelbarrow
lea feet away from the spot where the
murdered man lad been standing when
he WIS shot, On the paper, in large let
ters, Was the heading, death to Trait
ors, and stating IN effect that tie Mollle
Magules always removed their enc
mics, even ii murder had 10 be resorted
TO. 1t also stated that when the oppor-
tunlty was presented, two local police
men named Dennis Kelly and John
Kane would share the same fate as
Hagney. The letter was signed Jack
the Ripper" This paper is now in the
possession of Adolphus Banzano, the
chief engineer and iee-president of the
Phoenix Bridge Company. 1t is guard
ed rs carefully as a jewel of great value,
and it is impossible TO receive even a
copy of it. Coroner Ashhridge, of Phil
aielphla has been trying to secure 1t,
