RUSSIAN BRUTALITY.
Four Americans Sentenced to I'm.

Four Americans Sentenced to I'm
prisonment in the Mines.
Special to the LIGHTl
BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 9.-The great
est outrage ever inflicted upon Amer
lean citizens by decree of a foreign
power has been the imprisonment Of
four New England sailors. One of
them, born In Boston, was for two
years and ten months in Russian
coal mine. One American died after
starving upon rice soup and being eat
en- by vermin. This seems also to
have been the fate of II or Is Janpan-
csc, who made up the rest OF the crew.
The first member of this little party
reached home after being mourned as
dead, Capt. Jos. w. Morris, OF this
city. He suffered unheard of cruelty
as q punishment for poachIng in Rus
sian territory and is one OF two sur
vivors of the awful punishment in.
fiicted upon the crew. The fact that
he was poaching invalidates his
claim for Indemnity from the
Russian government. He had
made one successful expedition to
La Plant in Behring sea. and he tried
1t again. The second time he had an
experience which has effectually
cured him poaching in Russian terri
tory. The schooner was the Helena,
and was manned by four American
and % Japanese sailors, Capt. Morris
was in command. The schooner made
successful run to the islands and
secured q full cargo of seals, and was
returning to Yokohma, when q
Russian man.of. war overhauled her.
The Russians opened fire into q bunch
of Jspaneses, killing seven at first
valley. After hauling dawn the flag
on the schooner, firing ceased and she
was taken to Vladoostaok. After
Russian trial wherein they were found
guilty, the prisoners were taken to
Niselaski to serve out three years
sentence in mines.

The Fort Worth Gazette in its last
Fridays issue, commenting on possl-
BILE appointments to the vacant secre-
taryshlp of the treasury, says:
If John G. New resigns the United
States consulship to Sweden, an office
that pays $50, 900 year, with poker
playing perquisites, to accept the
treasury portfolio, he will be put down
by the American journalists as the
largest "pale gray ass" that belongs
to the administration.
WILL the Gazette inform benight-
ed republican journalist seeking in
formation at democratic hands, and
alas! too often finding none, when
the Hon. J. G. New was appointed
consul general to Sweden2 If the
date is not remem bered will the Ga
zette state when London was moved
across the North Sea? An answer to
either question will be appreciated.
Also, when the consuls salary which
New draws was raised from sc, 900 to
$4,000.

Yaas? And Dallas Is the only city
In Texas fool enough to build cable

OF dollars less her mile. Cable roads
are run only where steep bluffs COM
pei their construction. Texas has
no need of them.

GREAT and growing complaint is

GREAT and growing complaint is
made of the negligent manner
In which mail is handled in
some of the southern post offices,
Mention is made by way of illustra-
tlon of mail sent to New Orleans
only short distance, with usual
printed notice of return in ten days
and the return was not made until
thirteen months after ward In
the mean time the party to
whom the letter was ad-
dressed, debtor to the sender, had
moved and heavy business loss en-
tailed. Texas could parallel this
ease with few samples of her own.
These matters commend themselves
to the consideration of the post mas
ter general as we'll as schemes of pos
tai telegraphy and parcel post, both
of which are important. In the mean
time thorough efficiency of the service
should not be neglected. 1t is very
difficult to secure this efficiency with
out adequate clerical force, and this
is frequently far below the most
reasonable requirements of the SER
vice. 1t is idle to expect efficient SER
vice from overworked employees.

The reports from the English bench
shows indicate that this new service of the
collie has had bad effect upon the breed,
He has unquestionably been crossed to
some extent with the Gordon setter, and
the progeny, while having in appearance
handsomer coat, is not nearly so strong as
the rugged dogs which assists materially
in Scotland at least, to make sheep farm
ing profitable. Many of the bench show
winners in the English rings would be
swept away by mountain stream, and be
utterly useless in gu riding the silly and
unreasoning sheep. The deterioration in
American collies is not nearly so marked
as in England, and as our dog breeders
recognize the mistakes which have been
made on the other side, it is to be hoped
that fashion will not do the harm here to
this useful breed that it has done there
Some authors say that the sheep dog is
nearer to the primitive dog than any other
breed, and they give as reason for this the
wolnike head and semi-erect ears of the
collie. This, it seems to me, is a very poor
reason, and rather indicates that the collie
breed has been kept pure longer than that
Of almost any other. These dogs are usually
kept apart from others, and there is less
chance of accidental crossings.
A collie is a wise and useful beast, and
can do almost anything but talk. 1t is re
lated of a certain Scotch preacher that he
was annoyed that thel shepherds should
bring their dogs to church with them. He
told his congregation that they must tie up
their dogs on Sundays. For several Sun
days all went we'll, and then the dogs were
as numerous at church as before. He
again demonstrated, and was told that the
dogs never came home any more on Satur
day nights

The collie year by year has become more

and as we follow English fashions in dogs
more closely perhaps than in anything else,

part which fashion has assigned to him.
