The enforcement. OF fhe stanreic BIT (sys-
tenn Of summary trial without appeel) at
Prague speedily quie!ed the disturbances
there. -Four rioters who were arrested
yesterday were tried last night and sem
fenced to twenty years. penal servitude
within three hours OF tine time of their
arrest.
There seems little to choose between the
Germans and the Czechs. In towns where
the former predominate they have COM
mitted serious excesses against the latter.
The heavy snowstorm, which has been
Continuous since last night, has assisted
4 keeping the people quiet. The streets,
tes and theaters are almost deserted.
~ advertisements appear in the news
papers; trade is at a standstil, ana il is
feared that there will be many failures
ou ing TO the losses from the rioting.
Much inhumanity and brutality was ex-
hbited during the disturbances. The
windows of children's hospital were
mashed. exposing the inmates TO the
bitter cold, and other hospitals suffered
miiar treatment.
Smaller riots are reported from Chrudim,
SchIan. Gablonz, Tetschen and Nachod,
ali Bohemian towns.
