LONGEST KNOWN.
The Lengthy Sentence That Was
Pronounced Upon an Ita1-
ian SwfndIeP.

The tribunal of Modica, in the Sicilian
province of Syracuse, has just pro-
nounced sentence which is declared
to have no parallel in the judicial nm
mails of Italy, as it has probably few in
those of any other country. a man
named Lupo Salvatore, of Coniso, had
passed himself off as an advocate, and
had with consummate skill committed
63 different acts of serious fraud in
which he succeeded in using the mn-
chinery Of the law. He had forged the
signatures of the president and judges
OF the high court, of the kings procur-
ator, and of the chancellor of the court.
From this aforementioned official he had
even, with splendid audacity, stolen for
a short time the seal of the chancery,
which he needed to give effect to his
fraudulent documents. The sentence is
even more remarkable than the crimes.
Salvatore was condemned to three
years Imprisonment on each of the 63
cases, which brings the total of the sem
tence to 1S9 years, though the longest
incarceration which the convict can be
legally made to undergo is 80 years.
The penalty inflicted is in each case tie
minimum for the offense. Had the
court decided upon the maximum, which
is ten years, the aggregate term of i'm
prisonment would have been 63O years.

A RUSSIANS VISION.
Csax's Professions of
Peace.

In curious contrast with the pro-
fessed love of peace of the present car
of Russia comes the publication of
pamphlet, 1.-The War of the Future in
the Year 1s-," the vision of Russian
patriot. which was received with the
greatest interest in Russia proper and
was translated into French and German
Immediately after its appearance in
Russia, says the Boston Herald. The
story describes a war of Russia against
Great Britain, Italy, etc, starting from
the supposition that Russia possesses
naval port in the Arctic ocean not far
from the North cape and much
stronger fleet than now.
The author is hiding under the pseu-
donym "a Bjelomo" (meaning White
seal, but his disguise is rather thin, for
everybody knows that Admiral Maka-
rolf is behind it. Only last year the czar
authorized the use of 90,000,Oo0 rubles
toward the opening of Jekaterinport,
on the so-called Murmannic coast of
the Arctic. splendid harbor, which, on
account of the influence of the gulf
stream, is open the year round, and to-
ward the building of additional men-of-
war. The minister of the navy recently
went with Admiral Makaroff to visit
thisnew port, and railroads will be built
to connect it with Archangel and St.
Petersburg, the building of these rail
roads being now assured beyond a
doubt.
Would this not prove that the car
has but small hopes of the ultimate vic
tory of his peace projects?
