INOUIsITION IN RUSSIA.
jews and Catholics Being Prosecuted in

Jews and Catholics Being Prosecuted in
the CZar's Dominion.
LONDON, Feb. 19.-Jews are being ex-
PEELED from Russia on every possible pre-
text. Agents of the holy synod are inquir-
ing everywhere into the charges of heresy
and sectaries are being subjected to brutal
treatment to compel them to profess the
orthodox faith. In Poland even the Roman
catholic churches have, with few exceptions
been closed. The expulsion Of the Jews
from Novgorod involves the ruin of many
eminent Hebrew families that have lived in
that city for centuries.
A Jewish physician named Charsanovitch,
and the Rabbi Markus. both residing in
Grodno. have been arrested and exiled from
that province for twenty years. Their
otfense is said to have consisted in the
sending of a petition to the government in
behalf of the Jewish community demanding
redress for an outrage committed by a
Russian doctor named Granvoski, who is
accused OF having branded the word "thief''
in three languages upon the forehead of a
Hebrew lad. The boy was charged with
having stolen small quantity of fruit.
The petition declared that the case was one
which would excite the indignation of the
civilized world.
