mission the report comes from Constan-
tinople that the porte has ordered the
mobilization of two additional divisions

acting solely in view of the approach
ing meeting between the Russian and
Austrian emperorS and with the hope
of convincing them that he is anxious
to maintain peace.

insurgents, encouraged by their recent
successes, are abandoning a strictly
defensive attitude and are preparing to
take the offensive. The insurgents are

and eighty women and children killed.
The Turkish loss was heavy.
Another fight in the same district re-
suited in the defeat of an i%nsurSent
band. ten of whom were killed, and the
remainder fled to the mountains. In

vilayet, the Turks lost 100 killed or
wounded, while the insurgents had fif-
teen killed and twenty-nine wounded.

Russian Peasant Women.

An important reform in the status of the Russian peasant woman has been ia- trod4lced by the Minister of the Interior. There is apt to be great deal of bru- tality in the Russian peasants treatment of his wife, and there has been no redress or release for the victim, while 1t was obligatory that her name should be en- tered in her husbands passport and pa- pers of legitimation. The peasant w0- man might be used worse than a dog by an idle and drunken husband, but 1t would be in vain for her to appeal for protection to the village elders. The old-time belief still obtains among the Russian peasants that a wife, no matter how exemplary, must be occasionally beaten, and the vii- laEe elders. who are also judges in do. mestic Quarrels. are usually the most un- compromising advocates of woman's abso- lute subjection to her husband. Under the new law a peasants wife, on showing to the district judge that she is habitu- ally iIl-treated by her husband. or that he will not support her and makes her the drudge for his own support, can demand 6 separate passport. with which she Is at literty to leave her oppressor and earn a living elsewhere. The London Standard says: "on the face of it this may not appear to the foreign reader an import ant matter, hut any one at all intimately readily appreciate the relief it brings to tends of thousands of peasant women who are grievously abused domestic slaves and beasts of burden to their drum ken and brutal conjugal proprietors."
