By tho Infamous Treatment of Women
Siberian Convicts.
LONDON, May N.-The czarowitz, who is
now fully recovered from the blow of the
Japanese assassin. is to go through the
course mapped out when he started from
Russia. The Ussuri railway, the eastern
most section Of the proposed trans-SIberian
line, has already been completed for
nearly 300 miles from Vladivostock,
and tho czarowitz will ride over
it for that distance in train
specially equipped for his use. and will
formally inaugurate the line. The railway
80 far is chiefly the product Of convict Ia
Dor, and largely that of women convicts,
who are pushed on to work bybrutal sever
ity on the part of the guards.
A letter from Toxic, Japan, giving the
story Of a prisoner recently escaped
employed to dig and remove the
earth on this line are almost per
ishinR by scores, They are selected
for the work without any regard to
previous manual experience, political pris-
oners some OF them women of refinement
violence to the use of the pick and shovel.
Ii they show weakness they are mercilessly
whipped. Women arriving in eastern 81
IBERIA IN the convict gangs from Russia are
entirely at the mercy of the guards, and
those VINO refuse to submit to anything re-
quired of them are detailed to work on
the railway. This generally means death
in a short time. 1t is likely that these
matters will be carefully covered during
the journey of the czarowitz. although to
make pretense of official liberality few
specially favored convicts will be permitted
to present addresses and petitions for par
don. The czarowitz will also 90 through
the form of examining the official side of
Siberian convict existence, which for sew
eral months past has been undergoing pol
ish for his inspection. One reason for this
is that he may be able to make favorable
report to his mother, who is said to be very
much touched by the frequent stories of
Siberian cruelty and suffering.

seems very large sum of money to be

the Legislature to be allowed to raise 81 600
more. Whether they will be granted the

The Republican members of the levy
court have engaged Mr.. Lawrence
Brown, an expert accountant from Phil
adelphis, to examine the books of New
Castle county, with view of ascertain
ing how the county's financial affairs
have been conducted for the pasttwenty-
five years by the Democratic officials
entrusted with their management. With
reference to this selection, we are in
formed in the local columns of our
morning Republican contemporary that
"Mr. Brown is the expert who ascer-
tanned the frauds in Sussex county,
Now, a strict regard for the truth and
the real facts of the case as developed
during the investigation of the unfor-
tunate state of affairs that came to light
In Sussex county last year, impels us to
dispute this statement in the most I'M
equivocal manner. Mr.. Brown did not
ascertain the frauds in Sussex county"
The only frauds unearthed were those
perpetrated by the poor, misguided
deputy in the Office of the clerk of the
peace, who took his life in order to
avoid the shame of his exposure, and
these frauds were discovered before Mr..
Brown was called upon to make an ex-
animation of the county's books. And
as soon as the extent of his stealings
was ascertained his superior officer,
Clerk of the Peace Ebe w. Tunnel,
promptly gave his personal check,
drawn to the order of the county trea-
surer, for the full amount.
Mr.. Brown did make an examination
Of the county's financial affairs, extend
ing back for twenty-five years or more,
but he did not ascertain" any frauds
or the wrongful taking Of single dol
lar of the county's money. True, Mr..
]. Francis Bacon attempted to twist the
result of Mr.. Browns examination into
disclosure Of Democratic peculation
and extravaganza, and the partisan re-
port he prepared was circulated all over
the county under glazing headlines, but
this untruthful report was Indignantly
repudiated by the voters of the county
at the very first opportunity. And SC
we assert that Mr.. Brown was not "the
expert who ascertainod the frauds in
Sussex county"

following line, viz: Starting at White

through Wolfe glade farm of II Wolfe,
deceased, entering Lewes creek about one
mile east Of the town Of Lewes and follow

| ing outlet opposite Lewes and north Of
| Hugheyville into the bay. This terminus
| is said to be the most direct line from Re-
hoboth bay and one of the cheapest lines
and probably about 100000 less expensive
than the Broadkiln terminus which is a
| line running from Loves creek ina north
! crly direction and several miles west of
Lewes and shutting out eifectually this
town and the commercial benefits which
would probably accrue. The people of
1 Lewes and Reloboth are hopeful Of a
