BRITISH VENGEANCE.
1t Falls Swiftly and Terribly on the
Heads of Manipur Chiefs.
HANGED AS COMMON MURDERERs.
The Two Victims Are the Senaputty and o
PerfdiOus General.
TROOPS READY TO QUELL DISORDERS.

S1MLA, Aug. 13.-Anothef illustration of
the swift punishment which England in
flict upon-those who violate its rights or in
fringe upon its dignity in India, was given
to-day at Manipur when two of the leaders
of the massacre of British officials in March,
last, met their death at the gates of the
capital. The two men who were executed
to-day were members of the reigning family
of Manipur, but neither their high posi-
tions nor the appeals for clemency that had
been made for them could save them from
the vengeance of the law.
Both had appealed from the sentence of
death imposed upon them by the Military
Court of Inquiry before which they were
tried, but the Viceroy of India, the Mar
quis of Lansdowne, had decided that the
interests Of Great Britain demanded that
these men who had waged war against the
Queen andhbetted murder should die. They
were soldiers, yet not for them was the
honor of a soldiers death. They were
hanged like ordinary murderers.
The principal victim of to-day's tragedy
was the Senaputty, or Commander in Chief
of the Manipur army. He was young
brother of the Rajah of Manipur. and some
years ago he drove the Raj jah into exile and
governed Manipur under the title Of Jubraj
or Regent. 1t was the Senaputty who in
stigated the massacre of Chief Commissioner
Quinton, Political Agent Grimwood and
the others who lost their lives at the fatal
Durbar held in Manipur.
The other victim was the Tongal General
who violated the flag of truce under which
the Englishmen were decoyed from the
residence at Manipur which they had so
gallantly defended against overwhel lining
odds when attacked by the Manipuris, and
who gave the order to the native eXecutioner
to strike the heads and feet from the British
prisoners.
An immense crowd of natives witnessed
the executions There was no sign of any
disturbance among the spectators. This
was undoubtedly due to the fact that large
detachments of troops, both British and
native, were present, and had any disorders
occurred they were prepared to quell it in
very short order.
The Regent of Manipur and the Prince
Angoa Sena, whose sentences of death were
committed by the Ticeroy to transportation
for life and the forfeiture of their property,
will shortly be taken from the country. 1t
has not yet been publicly announced to
which of the British possessions they will
be transported.

FROM BAD TO WORSE,
THE LOT OF PROSECUTED HEBREWS
IN DARKEST RUSSIA.

Long List of Fresh Imperial Outrages just
Published-An Instance ofthe Czarina's
Intolerance-Fares to America Are Sold
at Less Than Cost
y LONDON, Aug. 13.-The work entitled
'sIn Darkest Russia" has met with very
good sale to-day, and the second edition was
issued. The book is devoted to an exposure
of the wrongs from which Hebrews in Rus
sia suffer, and the edition of to-day gives
long lists of fresh prosecutions to which
Hebrews in that country have been sub
jected. A vast mass of statistics is pre-
sented to prove that the statement alleged
to have been made by the Gar that He
brews were connected with dynamite out
RACES is unfounded
One instance of the intolerance of the
Czarina is given in the book. Her Majesty,
in company with the Gar sometime since,
inspected the troops forming the garrison at
Moscow. 1t is customary on such occasions
to give the soldiers n holiday after the in
spection is concluded. On the occasion re-
ferred to the officers of the, various regi-
ments were instructed that no Hebrew
soldier must be present at the inspection.
At the particular request of the Czarina the
Hebrews were confined to their barracks.
The books contains letter from the Duke
of Westminster saying that things in Rus
sia are going from bad to worse. The in
humanity of the Russian authorities, the
Duke declares, is astonishing-almost in
credible. The Gar, according to the same
authority, renders himself liable to be
placed in the category of rulers who, like
Philip II. of Spain, clothed with irresponsi-
BILE power, have used it, not for the happi-
ness and benefit of their subjects, but for
their ruin.
a letter from a Hebrew in Russia to a
Minister in London is also published in the
book. The writer says that the most serious
matter of all is the general outlawry in
which Hebrews are held. Every petty Rus
sian official assumes the right to treat them
as he thinks fit. A letter received from a
gentleman in Charlottenburg, Germany, de-
scribing the condition of Hebrews who are
fleeing from Russia, says that refugees who
have not sufficient money to pay the full
price of tickets to America, have received
tickets from the Hebrew Emigration Com
mittee at less than cost.

LANGEVIN ON THE STAND.
THE RESIGNED MINISTER OF CANA.
DIAN PUBLIC WORKS

Defends Himself From the Charges OF
tracts-His Relations With Thomas Nc
Greevy-No knowledge of Legitimate
Methods.
OTTAWA, Aug. 13.-Sir Hector Lange-
win, the resigned Minister of Public Works,
was to-day given hearing and cross-exam-
ination on the charges that he had been
bribed with money and gifts by those whose
business interests it was in his power to
further.
Mr.. Davies resumed his cross-examination
of Sir Hector. Being asked if he had re-
ceived any money from Thomas McGreevy,
he said he had not, either for his own or any
other election. No such money ever passed
through his hands, AS to his contribution to
lie Monde, he never took any shares in the
paper and never had any interest in it ex-
cept a political one. He had paid the money
as loan, rather than as gift, because he
wanted to have some claim upon the paper
in case it should turn against the party.
AS to the Esquimault contract and the
payment on Chief Engineer Perley's
authority of rebate of S19, 900 on the plant,
he thought that this was the only case in
which such unauthorized payment had been
made i'll his department. To Sir John
Thompson, Sir Hector Langevin said that
Peters had a claim against the Harbor Com
missioners at the time when, in 1882, he gave
the money to Sir Hector for the election
fund. This claim had never been settled,
and was at the present in litigation.
Sir Hector said he did not remember
that there were any other notes between
him and Thomas McGreevy since 1873 but
those he had mentioned. There might have
been, however. For instance lie Cana
dian sometimes required money, as
newspapers often did, and he would give
his note, provided it would be indorsed by
another party, who might be Sir n. Belleau
or Thomas MeGreevy.
He said it was not to his knowledge, that
Thomas McGreevy. had received any money
from contractors for any purpose, and
Thomas certainly never admitted receiving
such money. Thomas had complete con-
troll of the campaign funds at Quebec.
Witness had been told by some dissatisfied
parties that during the last few years
Thomas McGreevy had been supporting the
local government of Mercier, but of this he
had no knowledge.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. l3.-Baldwin, sur

with his nerve, was a large and important
factor in the opening game with Pittsburg

made his appearance, and all things consid-
cred he did fairly well. He was palpaDly
ratified in the second inning, when Miller
and Beckiey set up such din as has not
been heard here before this season, and
which il is to be hoped will never be heard
again, and he gave two bases on balls and
made wild throw which yielded the Pitts
Durgs three runs. They did not count after
that until the ninth, when an unfortunate
wild throw by Myers gave them an oppor-

THE RUSSIA RYE UKAsE.
One of Its Effects Is to Increase the Demand
for Indian Corn.


LONDON, Aug 13.-The Triest failure
and the Russian ukase together have de-
pressed most international stocks. 1t is
feared that the failure of crops in Russia
will give rise to popular disafection, from
which the Russian Government is not I'M
likely to endeavor TO distract public atten-
tion by policy of foreign complications or
aggressions.
There is an indication of an apprehensive
feeling on the Stock Exchange, and even
American securities yesterday failed to at
tract the attention of buyers. The Russian
ukase caused hardening of the prices of
cereals in Liverpool. Rye is not much dealt
in in England as compared with the business
in that commodity on the Continent, but its
absence causes Indian corn to be in request,
and for that Liverpool is one of the chief
European markets. Hence further ad-
vance in maize is expected
The German Cabinet will meet on Satur-
day to discuss the means to minimize the
ill-effects of the Russian rye ukase on the
poorer classes, who are wholly dependent
upon rye bread. The Provincial Governors
and Boards are instructed to report to the
Government on the stocks on hand and the
harvest prospects. Official organs assert
that Russia will not be able to continue the
prohibition long for fear of disaster to her
own finances

They Are Not Allowed to Land in San

They Are Not Allowed to Land in San
Francisco From Steamer.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13.-The landing
of Chinese from the steamer Oceanic was
stopped to-day by the order of Collector
Phelps The order was due to a circular
received from the Treasury Department,
quoting the decision of the Supreme Court
in the case of Wen Sing. The latter is a
Iaborer and wanted to land on the ground of
prior residence.
The Court held that no Chinese, merchant
or otherwise, could land in the United
States unless he was provided with con-
sular certificate. To obtain this certificate
he would have to prove he was conducting
a mercantile business in this country, which
would be almost impossible in China Col
lector Phelps holds that this practically
excludes all Chinese except those connected
with diplomatic corps.

Convention Of the Young Mems Christian
Association opened its second days pro-

growing in numbers, membership and
property, and were giving much attention
to the social, mental and physical develop
ment of young men, the greatest and most
prosperous work of the associations was in
the development of the religious life of
young men and in the effort for their con-
version.

Young Mems Christian Association and Its

ercises began at 9 o'clock, and for three
liquid hours beer flowed freely down far
mers' throats. The dinner hour was scarcely
over when the liquor began to exert itself,
and a single quarrel was enough to start q
general fight.
In an hour 800 men and boys were fight
ing They fought with their fists and
bruised each other badly. Tiring of this
the farmers armed themselves with carriage
whips and using the butt wore them out
upon each other. In the hottest of the riot
one of the ringleaders was knocked down
and while defenceless was kicked in the
head He is in critical condition. Two
hundred persons watched the riot from
housetops. When the battle closed the
scene reminded one of the battlefield of the

Hector Langevin.
LONDON, Aug. 13.-Sir Hector Lange-
wins resignation of his portfolio in the
Dominion Cabinet as Minister of Public
Works, is the subject of much comment.
The Chronicle hopes that he will be able
to clear himself from the charges against
him, but it says that it cannot longer
doubt that the whole system of public
works in Canada reeks with wastetuiness
and corruption. Only by bringing the
offenders to justice can the Dominion Gov
ernment avert political catastrophes.
The Advertiser also strongly condemns the
corruption existing at Ottawa. The Pail
Mall Gazette says Sir Hector has done the
straight thing In resigning his portfolio, and
hopes that he will succeed in proving his
hands are Glenn.
