Correspondence of strangers Is frequently
opened ana often destroyed. Letters are
frequently delivered open. There Is not
single opposition paper il the whole coun-
try. In ISIS some twenty-five editors were
tllpTISOUJt. and since that time
there has been no free expression
of public opinion The right of pub
lie meeting has been suspended and not
a single prominent citizen known to be out
OF sympathy with the government has eS-
capped Imprisonment or expulsion. On the
18th of March last an attempt was made to
kill Stambuloff, ana NJ Beuchef lost his
life. Political transformations find no apollo

perpetrators of the outrage. Stambulof
seized the opportunity for destroying at
one blow all those whom he looked upon rs
his rivals or enemies, especially those
former colleagues who had remained true
TO the constitutional principles of which
he himself was once the champion. Nearly
300 persons were taken from their beds at
night and removed to prison. ABOUT
half of them have since been lib

and the chief ones are NJ. NJ. Karaveloff,
Thanof, Oreshakoff, VulcEef, Kat

These people belong TO four
political parties and have nothing IN
common but the fact that they are opposed
10 the government. The treatment to
which they have been subjected can

kariveloff, the most diStin-

suffice as an example Upon
