Tenants Bill.

LONDON, Aug. 20.-Replying to a ques-
ton in the House of Commons as to what
action the Government would take in view

in view of the veto of the evcted tenants
bill and the home rule bill by the LORDS

tuted the gravity of the situation. The

Two Thousand Escaped.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25.- By the
steamer Rio Janeiro, which arrived from
the Orient, news was received of the
escape of 1000 prisoners from Siberia.
The men were employed in the construc-
tion of the Siberian railway, and had, as
late developments proved, been planning
escape for several months. Meager ad-
vices received at Yokohama are that the
men overpowered the Russian soldiers,
who were guarding them, and securing
all the arms they could, fed. When last
heard of they were making their way
towards Corea, and it is believed they
are now safely within the borders OF
that country, trying to secure passage to
more distant parts. The Russian gov
ernment has forwarded request to the
Corean officials to assist in the capture
of the refugees, and to hand them over
as fast as apprehended to Russian au-
thOrities.
