Russians first made their appearance
there they found the country pop
nlated with a few thousand nom;,ds of
the Monaghan race. These people were
svbdivided into different tribes known
as Suchas, AIMS, Ghclalss, Opotchcns
and Tongus. The AIMS, according to
high authority, belong to the oldest in
habitants of Asia. They were fol. the
most part fishermen, but many gave up
this vocation, soon after the arrival of
their new masters, to turn to agricul-
tural pursuits. They are now prof.
Gent in raising garden vegetables,
especially potatoes.
The GhelaSs are expert hunters but
also fishermen. Their skill in handling
their frail craft on the angry seas
around the island has often awakened
admiration, and on shore they show
equal audacity in chasing tlcr prey

as penal colonization SO successfully

American readers who have been sur
feitcd with more or less exaggerated dc
scriptions of the Siberian exile system
may not be generally aware that for
many years already the island of Sugha-
lien on the Pacific coast of Siberia has
received n certain number of teported
convicts, thus occupying in measure
the same relation to the mother country
that New Caledonia does to Franco.

self in parallel line to the coast of
eastern Siberia. 1t was first occupied
in 1858, just prior to the Crincan war,
by Admiral Nevelslly, acting under in
structions from the celebrated governor
of eastern Siberia, Gen. Muravcff-
Amurslsy. The first post established
there received the lattcr's name. The
northern extremity of the island lies
opposite the mouth of the Amur river
Its center is intersected by the fifticth
parallel of northern latitude and its
southern end reaches the forty-fifth.
The island is narrow and irregular in
shape, five hundred and sixty miles
long, with an average width of sixty
miles, being seventeen miles wide at it,,
narrowest part and one hundred and
twenty at it's broadcast. On the east
Saghalien is bounded by the sea of
Okhotsls and on the southwest by the
sea of Japan. 1t is separated from the
Furthermore northern island of the
Japanese archipelago, Yesso, by the
straits of Laperousc, and from the
Asiatic continent by the gulf of Tartary,
with minimum width of five miles.
1t was probably this complete isoa-
ton of the island that suggested it from
the start as an appropriate spot for the
founding of penal colony. When the

charge of the natives on returning to
Japan. There are two permanent Japa
nesc settlements on the southern coast,
Mt one of which valuable fertilizer is
manufactured from sea behring's which
are caught in enormous quantities in
that region.
The population of the island, in atldi-
ton to its natural increase, owes it's
rapid growth since 1858 to the arrival of
dcported criminals of various grades,
who, at the expiration of their terms at
hard labor, arc permitted to settle and
support themselves rs best they can.
The first batch of convicts arrived in
1880 and were detailed to work the
ncwly-disaovercd coal mines at Dava.
Small parties of these unfortunates fol-
lowed during the succeeding years. In
1870 4 batch of six hundred criminals of
the worst description were landed from
orc of the steamers of the so-callctl
dobrovolny flott (flect of volunteer
cruiscrs) plying between Odessa and
Saghalicn. SO large an addition to the
penal settlement naturally gave rise to
the necessity of organizing n regular
administration, and i'll 1854 the home
government appointed n governor with
full staff of assistants, consisting of Il
medical director, an Inspector of agri-
culture, an architect, Il surveyor and q
states attorney. To the governor were
given extensive powers, and in order
that an effective supervision might be
exercised over the land it was divided
into three administrative districts.
Convicts intended for deportation arc
usually concentrated at Moscow or
kharllov, and from there conveyed 10
Odessa on the Black sea. There they
undergo thorough medical examin;l-
ton, and only such as arc i'll perfect
health and arc able to stand the long
sea journey are allowed to board the
steamer.
incidentally may say that it fell to
my lot a few months after the close of
the RussoTurliish war to witness the
departure from Odessa of Il batch of
these poor wrctchcs destined to pcrpct-
ual Punishment for various crimes.
They were about forty in number, for
the most part men in the prime of life
and of the peasant class. Dressed i'll

already set in, they were marched hand

beds or the public works. 1t is
usually for life, but good behavior
on the convict's part always initiates

BALTIMORE, July 13.-Indications
are that there will be a large move
ment of hay from Baltimore to
France, owing to the reported short
age of hay and forage crops in that
country. 1t sis said now that the
shortage has reached such point
that many cattle have been slaughter
ed, and that the exorbitant price of
$45 and $50 per'ton is being paid for
hay in England. Great Britain is also
in need Of hay and considerable
anxiety is said to exist abroad regard
ing the extent and character of this
years crop in the United States. A
firm here has chartered the British
steamship Broombaugh to carry 500
tons of hay, part cargo, to the CONT
nent this week. The same firm has
also charteren the British steamship
Sir William Armstrong to load 500
tons of hay for Europe.
