WORLDS WORST PRISON.
II Is said to he n Foul Dungeon of

From an Exchange.
The worst prison in the world IS
said to be the prison in Bokhara.
Although the Emperor of Bokhara
is supposed to be under Russian SOW
ereignty, in practice he is unbounded
master of his subjects. who number
1900, 900.
The central Asiatic autocrat still ad-
ministers "iustice" in the fine old fash
ion. and il is rather immaterlal Wheth-
er one is innocent or guilty, II ne nap
pens to be unfortunate enough TO be
sent to Jail. for whoever once enters
the prison doors is treated by common
consent as il he had been convicted
as criminal.
The accused is thrown into the COM
mon prison, where sometimes a hun
dred or more prisoners are so closely
crowded together that there is hardly
room enough for any one to move.
A few pieces of half rotten mutton
and a small jug of water, foul water
are given to each prisoner once day,
and after that no one cares what nap
pens until the next day.
In addition to being locked up in the
dirty, unVentilated Jail, the prisoner Is
burdened with chains.
If the charge is extra serious, he may
be chained so tightly to the wall or
the ground that he cannot stir. AT
best he will have leg irons, handouts,
or neck iron to weigh him down and
make movement anything but a pleas
ure.
The prison is built on the very edge
of the desert in such a location that
the hot winds sweep over it all day
and all night, and the atmosphere with
in is constantly supe:heated, besides
being indescribaby foul on account Of
the crowded condition of the place.

Constantinople, Sept. 21.-The unfa-
vorable comment aroused by the ap-
pointment Of Reshid Pasha, the former
vail of Beirut, to be vail of Brusa,
which is really a promotion, continues.
The action of the Porte in this con-
nection is regarded here as chal-
lenge to the representatives of the
Powers, especially to the American
minister, who, it is thought, is likely
to protestant may possibly demand
Reshid Pashas recall from Brusa, in
the interests of the American educa-
tional establishment in that vilayet.
Reports from Beirut say the appoint
ment of HALL Pasha to be vail of Bel
rut has caused much disappointment.
The inhabitants expected that Nazim
Pasha, the vail of Syria, who inspired
confidence by his conduct when he be-
came acting vail after Reshid Pasha's
removal, would be made vail.
American Claims Neglected.
Washington, Sept. 21.-The State De-
partment still has under consideration
tbs matter OF the appointments of the
retiring vail of Beirut to be vail of
Brusa. At present the officials are
disposed to regard the appointment in
the light of a transfer rather than a
promotion, but a further inquiry into
the facts By Minister Leishman may
change this view of the case.
1t was said at the State Department
to-day that it was the original inten-
ton of the Sultan to appoint the for
mer vail of Beirut to be sub-secretary
of the Department of the Interior, and
it is intimated that the strong repre-
sensations against this appointment
made by Minister Leishman were eff
fective. In his cablegram to-day Min
lister Leishman states that the Ameri-
can claims against Turkey are not re-
ceiving satisfactory attention by the
Porte.

Philadelphia, Sept. 21.-More than
5000 men now employed at the Pen

thrown out of work within two weeks.
All the departments of the plant, with
the possible exception of the bridge
building shop will remain idle until

shut down is said to be a lack of or
ders for the work turned out by the

Thinks Nicholson should Have Been
Fired from Navy.
Washington, Sept. 21.-The complete
record of the court-martial case of AS
sistant Payjnaster Rishworth Nichol-
son on the Asiatic station, received at
the Navy department to-day contains
severe criticism by Rear Admiral
Evans of the members of the court
which tried Nicholson. because of the
inadequacy of the punishment inflicted
by the court.
1t was alleged that, while on shore
at Che Foo, China, Nicholson became
intoxicated and assaulted an elderly
civilian. The sentence of the court
was that Nicholson be reduced five
numbers in his grade. Rear Admiral
Evans, in reviewing the case, says the
evidence was of such a character that
the sentence should have been nothing
less than dismissal from the navy.

London, Sept. 22.-The Times corrA-

OF the situation in Servia, in which he
says that the military conspiracy at
Nish directed against the regicides is
far graver than the government dare
acknowledge. OF a total of 1900 off,
GERS, 1000 are said to be concerned in
It, and probably the bulk of the ma
ton secretly sympathized with them.
The clique OF assassins, however
holds all the chief civil and military
offices, the keys of the arsenal and the
treasury. and any one crossing their
path is doomed. The King is surround
ed and under the rule of the assassins.
and many doubt if he will ever shake
himself free.
Minister Gentchitch, in whose house
the regicide plot was Matched and who
conducted the secret negotiations with
King Peter, is alleged to possess an
discriminating letter which is kept
hanging over the royal head. Lately,
however, the regicides are beginning
to realize that they have gone too far
and must moderate their attitude. The
elections are anticipated with consid-
cradle interest.
