REPORT on RUSSIAN PRISONS.
Reforms That 1T Is Believed Cf"'

LONDON, January 5-The st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Daily Mall says
'Privy- Counsellor Solomon, OF tne
prisons administration, has just returned
here from five months tour OF the
prisons and exile colonies Of the Russian
Government in Siberia and On the lslaho
OF Saghalien, off the east coast or ASA
He has furnished me with the chief points
of his personal report to the Car.
Its leading feature IS that Mr.. Salomon
concludes that Punishment is useless ana
undesirable as a form of punishment, be-
cause it produces tho complete moran
degradation Of the exile.
"Salomon found the prisons In western
Siberia in fair condition, with no signs
OF overcrowding or dirt, but in Eastern
Siberia the conditions were quite the OPP
posite Matters he found still worse IN
neutrality-suspicious. badly treated, prisons
filthy. and hospitals crowded like pig
sites. He dismissed two chief directors oil
prisons for cruelty and embezzlement ano
eighty minor officials for cruelty.
He has drafted comprehensive system
of reforms in prison treatment, greatly
ameliorating existing conditions, proyld

for settling in Siberia on the expiration

reforms will be speedily adopted by The

SENATOR HALE RENOMINATED
He Is Against Expansion, But VIII
Submit to Party Majority.

AUGUSTA. ME-, January 4.-The Re-
publican caucus of the Legislature was
held tonight, TO nominate state officials,
several counsellors, and United States
Senator. It was fully attended, and most
harmonious and enthusiastic. 1t was a
foregone conclusion that Senator Eugene
Hale would be named to succeed himself,
all idea of opposition having vanished
The nomination was made by grand
chorus of ayes" not a mo" having
been heard. Mr.. Hale appeared before
the convention and was greeted with a
whirl-wind Of applause. He made a
strong speech Of thanks, clearly explain
ing his attitude on the questions of the
day He was interrupted by applause sew
eral times, and received an ovation al
the close. Mr.. Hale said, in part:
Upon the question which, perhaps, to-
day is occupying mems minds more than
any other, the question OF expansion,
there are two sides. l am not an expan-
slonist. L dread the annexation OF ter
ritory thousands of miles away, and OF a
foreign people, with no habits and ne
life like ours. I dread the results OF IT,
/ dread the effects. 1 am honest In that
| cannot, with my views, vote for any
measure or law. or whatever 1t may be
that involves us In that. But II | am
oyerruled and overborne by the majority
IL is my business and my duty 20 submit
as a party man, and 10 make the Des
