CRUEL USE OF POWER.
Prosecutions in Russia Rivaling
the Irish Penal Laws.

Boston, July 30.-The Russian Jews
who arrived on the steamer Norseman
yesterday, many of whom are detained
by the immigrant commissioners, have
pitiful stories to relate of the cruelties
perpetrated upon them by the Russians.
One lad who refused to give his name
for fear of being apprehended and re-
turned said he came from Slabotky.
The Jews of his town, he says, were
ordered to vacate their houses and be-
take themselves away, no matter where,
inside of three days. The much
harrassed and maddened Jews set fire
to all their property and burned II,
rather than have it fall into the hands
of their enemies. The Russians, en-
ragged at this. set upon the refugees and
maItreated them by every means in
their power. One man was suspended
by his wrists from telegraph
post, where he hung for two hours.
All the families who had burned their
houses were arrested and convicted and
sentenced to Siberia. The young man
and his father and brother were among
the victims, but as they were being
marched through the streets the nara
tor managed to slip his hands through
the handouts and escape. He sue
ceeded in reaching friend in another
province, who gave him money to come
