FOREIGN GOSSIP.

Britain holds the honor of having
first formed societies for the prevention
of cruelty to animals and of having first
legislated for punishment to offenders.
English and German spectators have
acquired rights to land in eastern
Servia where the Romans are known to
have found gold, and where, according
", mining works are to be started.
The pay of Russian army officer is
very small. A general gets from C 300
to 400 year in English money, ac-
cording to the length of service; lieu
tenant general, from & $50 to $50; a
major general, from 6 1856 to e24S, and
colonel commanding three-battalion
regiment gets 6 12O.
In the course of discussion at the
st. Olave's (Southwark) board of works
with regard to the rate of pay of aged
night watchman. Mr.. Lafone stated
that he had been assured by local hair
dye seller that the enormous ma iority
of his customers were workmen who
dyed their hair to secure employment
and retain it when obtained.
The Partisan taste for horsefiesh con-
tinues to increase. During last year
Paris ate over 10000 horses, 800 dom
keys. and few unconsidered mules.
The donkeys and mules are evidently
declining in favor, as in 1872 the off,
cial returns showed the consumption
to have been s66 donkeys and 81 mules,
while over 5000 horses figured in the
Paris meat bill.
An example of the dangerous nature
of the practice of throwing rice at we'd
dings occurred at Charing, near Ash
ford, in Kent, Immediately after the
marriage of Canon Carter, of Canter-
bury cathedral, and Miss Sayer, of
Prstt place. just as the couple were
leaving the brides house for their hon.
eymoon, a shower of rice struck the
horses, some of it entering their ears.
This caused them to bolt, with the re-
suit that the carriage was overturned.
Both of the occupants were severely
shaken and bruised, and the shock sus-
tanned by the lady was such that the
honeymoon trip had to be temporarily
abandoned.

SIBERIAs ARE MANY.
France, Britain, Italy, Ms Well -
Russia, Have Outlying Penal
Colonies.

Siberia as a Russian penal colony is
doomed. Gar Nicholas has appointed
commission for devising some other
method of dealing with offenders.
Two reasons actuate the czar. He re-
alizes that Siberia has reached stage
where it can no longer be utilized as a
dumping ground.
1t is not generally known that until
almost up to the days of Bismarck's s
power Siberia was used as place of
exile by Prussia. During the reign of
Frederick William III. alone as many as
11.0G0 Prussian political and criminal
offenders were deported to Russia in
Asia.
Italy..in the hope of discovering some
use for her costly colony on the African
coast of the Red sea, attempted some
years ago to convert it into a penal
settlement, sending 1000 long-term
conyicts to Nassowa. The mortality
among them has been appalling.
Portugal treats transported convicts
kindly. They are mostly sent to the
east and west coasts of Africa, and to
Goa, in India. They are not obliged to
work, and enjoy almost complete liber-
ty, while their social status is SO little
affected that at Mozambique, for in
stance, the governor general may oc-
casionally be found playing billiards
in the principal hotel with convicted
forger or entertaining transported
prisoner at his table.
Frances penal colonies, like those Of
Spain, are blot on her civilization.
French Guiana is one of the most pes
tiferous spots On earth, the mortality
among conyicts being terrible. The
only object which the French govern
ment attains by deporting its habitual
criminals there and to New Caledonia
is said to be that they die about ten
times faster than at home.
Turkey deports its political and
criminal offenders to remote Tripoli
and the banks of the Euphrates and
the Tigris, where the sultans are at
liberty to work their own diabolical
will upon the exiles. So bad is the
treatment they receive that whenever
an Ottoman dignitary or a Christian
banker of Constantinople or Smyrna
is reported as exiled his relatives at
once mourn him as dead:
Until 1882 the Egyptian government
deported its convicts and political Of

company and kept in the prison neaF
the city of that name. All are negroes
save the interlocutor, who is ! one
armed white man, with desperate
criminal reputation in the east. He had
served term in the Sing Sing prison
and in several others before he fell up
against the law of Georgia, which set
tied him for life. Capt. English.is the
contractor who leases the ESQ conyicta

he can to make them as contented as
possible. He has more than q dozen
''lifers'' in his lot. but only those par
ticularly well endowed with musical
talent or some other stage gift may get
into the band. 1t is the only musical
organization that nothing on earth
save death, and maybe some merciful;
governor of Georgia, can disrupt. There.
is no union to make rules for It.

The Ohio Convention.

Lynchburg News.
The outcome of the State Repub-
hcan convention i'll Ohio proves that
Senator Hanna is still in the sad
die. Before that co INVENTION met
and even during the early stages of
the session, it was thought doubtful
whether Boss Hanna could succeed
in naming his man for Governor.
There were many discordant elc-
ments in the convention and II
great deal of comforting and caucuss-
ing among the members. In the
end Llama proved too strong for
his opponents and succeeded in hay
ing his man, Nash, nominated for
Governor l. was signal triumph
and one which will confirm the
power of Ohio's leading politician.
Hereafter there will be none to dis
putc his right to the title of toss of
the Buckley State. All the Ohio
Republicans must fall iuto line and
obey orders from headquarters, that
is to say, they must acknowledge
the authority of Boss Hanna. While
the Ohio Republicans were divided
on many points, they were in per-
feet harmony i'll one particular.
All of them cordially endorse the
Administration of President Nc
Kinley, and applauded everything
he has done. not accepting his re.
cent modification of the civil service
rules, III direct couilict with the
st. Louis platform and his own anti
election pledges. The action of
the convention in lauding Mckinley
is good send-off for him in the
race IOr IL second nomination. 1t
may be taken for granted that the
Republicans will carry the State in
the gubernatorial election. Ohio
can ordinarily be counted on to 60
Republican. The election of Nash
will be claimed as vindication of
the Mckinley administration aud
will be used by Senator Hanna us IL
strong argument in giving McK,n-
ley second term. The proceedings
of the Ohio r. publican Convention
may be regarded as in some sense
the opening act in the Presidential
campaign of 1900.
