THE SIBERIAN HORROR.
Further Particulars Aggrnvate the Awful
Affair,

Affair.
PARIS, Feb. 15.-Further particulars
of the Siberian horror have been re-
ceived. and show that the cruclties were
worse than at first reported.
1t now appears that Nine. Sihida'S
younger sister. sixteen years old, went
TO Siberia to look after her comfort.
Arriving there. she had the misfortune
to please the eye of the director of tho
prison. She was detained by him upon
a trumped-up charge OF conniving at
Nine. Sihida's attempted escape, and
became a victim of his brutality. She
was subjected to such atrocious treat
ment as to cause her death soon after.
Nine. Sihida, indignant and terror
stricken by this awful event, vehemently
denounced the outrage She attracted
the attention of the director, who then
approached her with the same insults
he had heaped upon her sister. The
mOnStrouS revenge of the director in
having her publicly 1ogged followed,
and this punishment was accompanied
by inhuman incidents which probably
had more to do in driving her to suicide
than the exposure To which she had
been subjected.
The revolt in the male prison is con-
irmed, and it is now definitely known
that the number killed amounted to
forty-One.
Upon learning the particulars and
realizing the universal protest and
violent feeling the case would arouse,
the Gar dispatched an officer to replace
the director and ordered that official to
report at St Petersburg

were twelve Arab chiefs and 200
fighting slaves. The battle occurred at
the capital Of Uganda. Only three
Arabs escaped. The victims are MEM

province of Archangel. the northernmost
of European Russia. From there he at
tempted to make his escape and for this
offense he was exiled to the mines of
Eastern Siberia.
The fogging of Nine. Sihida occurred
under orders issued by Lieutenant-Gen-
eral Baron Kosff, the Governor-General
of the province of the Amour, in which
the Kara prison is situated. These or
ders directed that the secret ed CT of
March, 1883, signed by Galkine Nraski.
Director-General of the prisons for the
Empire, should be unflinchingly inforced.
This edict was to the effect that the po-
litical cOnvicts should be treated by pris
on officials in precisely the same manner
as criminals condemned for common law
offenses. Political prisoners We're thus
made liable to fogging for breaches of
prison discipline. In what particular
way Nine. Sihida had transgressed the
prison rules is not clearly explained,
but fogging a sensitive and cultured
woman to death for any lack of con-
formity to prison regulations Mr.. Step
MAX thought would impress the West
est world with profound horror.
The political prisoners of Kara, Mr..
Stepniak said. had in some way learned
that the political exiles imprisoned at
Saghalien had also been subjected to
cruel fioggings. They were constantly
in dread of similar tortures to those in
flicted upon Nine. Sihida.

Double Murder I'm Nebraska and Cattle
Stolen.
OMAHA, Neb, Feb. 15.-The bodies Of
an old couple named Jones, living six
miles west of here, were found ycster-
day morning hidden in a heap of refuse
behind barn on their farm. Both
bodies were perforated with bullets.
They had evidently been dead for some
| days. The husband was scventy-ono
years of age and the wife had just passed
her sixtieth year. The body of the old
man was found in a dung heap ad joining
the COW barn. He had beer buried
in the excrement at depth of
couple of feet. The old lady was
found at the base of a hay stack
and had been completely covered with
hay. which so conformed to the outline
of the hill that some searching was in
stituted before the discovery was made.
There is not the slightest doubt that
both were murdered. Eighteen head Of
cattle belonging on the farm were
driven away. Frank Offitt and Jerry
Dee, two employees in South Omaha,
have been arrested charged with the
murder. 1t is found that they sold the
STOCK cattle 10 SOutn O1nan3 COninlS-

Death in the Prize Ring.
DALLAS, Tex, Feb 15.-Tom James,
who came to Dallas from Kansas City
three months ago, died early yesterday
morning from the effects of injuries re-
ceived in glove contest with Louis
Bazina, young light weight travelling
with the MuldOOn-kilrainc combination.
James accepted the proposition OF
Muldoon to stand up for four rounds be-
fore Bazina for S25 and at the end of the
fourth round just before time was called
was knocked senseless by terrible I'M
dercut blow in the neck. He was re-
moved from the stage and the show pro-
ceeded, the condition of the unconscious
man not exciting any alarm.
After the exhibition was over it was
found that James had not recovered con-
seriousness, and physicians were hastily
summoned, but at one o'clock in the morn
ing he died, never having rallied from
the blow he received.

KrPREsENTATIvE sTRUBLE.

In a moment Of forgetfllncss, which, no
doubt now, he very bitterly regrets, Congress
man Strublc. of Iowa, has permitted him
self. upon the floor Of the House, to make
personal attack upon the Speaker IN resent
ment of the discourteOus treatment which
he has recently received at the hands OF the
latter. We confess TO n very considerable
degree of surprise at the holiness OF TINS
Western Republican representative, and
we can only satisfactorily explain it on the
ground that he was wrought up to such a
pitch Of evaporation that he lost all
control over himself For Republican
Congressman to 90 so far as TO censure the
speaker in unstinted language during the
proceedings Of the House. is very much like
pupil rising in his seat and violently con-
demning some step which his schoolmaster
has taken because opposed 10 what was just
and proper. Reed is as absolute in the power
which he exercises over the conduct of his
party associates in the House, as if they
were in reality schoolb0ys who were afraid
Of being punished by him upon the shortest
notice and without serious prOvocation.
The courage of Representative Strble
loses some of its force when the fact l.
noted that the speaker was not in the char
at the time the attack was made. If he
had been. it is not at all Improbable that
not even the liyeliest Indignation would
have led the Iowa representative to ignore
the dictates of prudence so far as to eX-
press the burning sentiments Of his heart
with reference to the contemptuous manner
in which he had been treated. Quietly as
the Republicans in Congress have sub
mitted to the tyrannical authority of speak
er Reed silently as they have borne his
brusquencss and brutality in enforcing his
wishes and carrying out his purposes, there
has, no doubt, been much i'll feeling on their
part which they have considered it eXpedi-
ent to repress under the peculiar circum-
stances which distinguish the present SEES
sion Of Congress.
Among the members on the Republican
side, there must be many men who in their
secret consciousness have been opposed tOtho
high-handed course which the Speaker has
pursued so resolutely and so consistently,
aud who have abhorred the cOntemptuOus
rudeness in which he has so often INDUCED.
so far, however, there has been but one
among them who has been bold enough to
express his resentment. and even he was
careful to wait until the Speaker had va
Gated the chair and retired from the House.
