4 Woman of Nobie EstrIh stripped

PARIS, Fab. ia cipher letter Just
received here by the Russian refugees
here, dated December 18th, gives the
details of an awful tragedy in the politi-
cal prison at Kara, Eastern siberia.
Nine. Nedyda Bihida of noble birth
and teacher in the high school at Mos-
COW, was 2onnd last year with reyolu-
tionaFy pamphlets in her possession and
sentenced to penal seryitude. On her
arrival OF Kara this handsome, refined
woman soon attracted the attention OF the
director of the prison, who took an early
opportunity to insult her.
Nine. Sihida resented the act Of the
director, who in revenge had her stripped
and logged in the presence of all the
men in the prison. Such an outrage had
not been perpetrated on woman Of rank
since the days of the Empress Oatharine
and the unfortunate lady was 80 appre-
hensive of further shame and torture that
she committed suicide on the same day
by poisoning herself.
Not only this. but several OF the other
women political prisoners, fearful Of re-
ceiviup similar treatment, on hearing OF
the tatrible event, followed Nine sihida's
example.
A few miles from the women's political
prison at Kara is that occupied by male
pc iticsl convicts, who, on hearing Of the
tragedies, revolted en- masse.
Troops were called out, and awful
scenes followed, shooting, logging and
torturing going on by wholes lie.
The Russian authorities have naturally
been careful to suppress the terrible de.
tails, which are now given to the public
for the first time.

Hard Time Among the Printers.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Senator HiEcoek
has stirred up hornets nest in the
bureau OF engraving aud printing by in
slsting upon tho appointment OF hand
some young oolored girl from New York.
The woman was assigned to work last
Monday rs plate printers assistant, but
up to the present time has not had an op-
pOrlunity Of doing any thing In that line
or any other In the bureau. When she
reported for duty the printer whom abe
was TO assist refused to allow her to get
work, and threatened to resign rather
than accept the new GpPointee ss an as
sistent. she was in succession assigned
to LAY for" or to assist several other
printers, all OF whom protested. For the
past three or four days shs has been sit
ting on bench in small room occupied
by the mrin plate printing room, doing
practically nothing, although she Is
ostenstbly acting in the capacity of a
messenger.
She is bright-colored, good looking
nulatto, very well educated and dressed
better than the majority OF the hsrd-
working white girls Of the bureau. Her
dame ls Frances Flood, and she delighta
in being known as "FTapk.n She h
somewhat affected in her actions and
speech. One OF the plate printers said
that the relationship between a priater
and his associate were 80 confidential and
close that he thought oil OF them should
have choice il sthelr assistants. Ha
Thought every printer in the office would
walk ont II this authorities insisted upon
having Miss Flood among them.
The appointment has also gotten the
administration into disagreeabla con
troyerSy with the Plate Printers Union
OF Washington. Tho union, having an.
pehled to BecrGtary Window to revoke
the appointment, and having been told
that the appointment could not be re.
voked, has informed the plete printers in
the bureau that it will support them in
their refusal TO let the colorad girl assist
them. The union has already provided
for cue who was discharged for refusing
to let the girl assist him, and will take
care OF the others who expsct to be dis
charged this week for the same reason.
Secretary Window HGys he will stand
stand firm, the girl having been an.
pointed after examination and certified
by the commission under civil service
rules.
