More Alleged Russian outragcs

Louis Paradice, sailor, who arrived
at San Francisco from China on the
Gaelic tells of story of horrible treat
ment in Siberian prisons. He was a
sailor on the sealing schooner, Mary
H. Thomas, and with another sailor,
named Wilson, went ashore Oh the
coast of Kamschatka to fill water casks.
A hurricane drove the schooner off and
the men were left ashore. They had
no provision and travelled inland TO q
camp of Russian soldiers. They were
seized and accused of being spies. They
were sent to Carasock, convict sta
ton. Paradice tells OF horrible cruelty
inflicted on the prisoners there. AL
though Wilson and himself were rough
ly treated, they were not logged as
others were. There were about six
thousand convicts at the station and
every Wednesday those who had dis
obeyed rules during the week were
given lashes with knout.
A woman about to become mother was
knouted and three hours later gave birth to 4
deal child OF six thousand convicts in camp

Many men were too feeble to walk and were
dragged along by their companions. Soldiers
would prod them with hayonets to make them
move more quickly. The convictS were fed
with black bread and raw salt meat Finally
Paradice and Wilson were taken to Niadivo-
stock. From there they were sent tn the
Kara gold fields, fifteen days journey:
They suffered frghtfully from hunger aud
fatigue. Wilson gave ont and had to be car

Informed by mcrchautman of Paradice and
Wilson's fate The commander Of the Marion
demanded that the prisoners be given up and
after considerable delay this was done. They
were taken to Shanghai on the Marion and
placed in hospital. As soon as Paradice wss
able to travel he was sent to Hong Kong on
the Gaelic and then sailed to San Francisco.

A SLEEPY OLD VIRGINIA TOWN.

Whore. a Native Says, Nothing Has Moved
Since the War.
81 consider Alexandria, Va, the dead
est town in the United States re-
marked Washington man the other
day to a Tribune reporter. mo doubt
there are worse places to live in, but
considering its opportunities-iti is only
six miles from Neutrality-suspicious.
aaria really takes the palm for non-Pro-
grcssiveness- Thirty years ago the
populate was trifle larger than it is
now. and ten years ago there was line
of surface cars in the principal street.
I suppose the population grew too lazy
even to ride in a street car, however,
for the cars are gone now and forgot
ten, except for bit of track here and
there.
Last fall 1 went over to Alexandria
from Washington one evening to mako
a call. 1t was dark, and couldn't SEQ
the numbers on the houses. After a
fruitless search for some ten minutes
along the silent street noticed a mid
dle-aged man calmly smoking a pipe on
the front steps of house a few doors
away.
II beg prrtlon.' said as politely as
I could. but will you kindly tell me
which way the numbers run on this
street?
''IIe took his pipe out of his mouth.

| prised.
