Dreadful Prisons Of ST. Petersburg.
Typical Horrors Perpetrated Within
Fortress Ofst. Peter and St, Paul
and the schluesHslburg.

FUT-WTELL may the inhabitants or
~ VI ST. Petersburg shudder as
W they glance beyond the
NM Neva, at the dark fortress
EM M whence, each hour. the
north wind brings across
the river the dlscordant sound OF Its
melancholy bells, writes contributor
to the st. James Gazette. Melancholy,
indeed, for nothing but memories OF
suffering and oppression sit upon its
granite walls. Here Peter !. tortured
and mutllated his enemies. Here he
slew his own son, Alexis, and to this
dungeon during the lcentious reign OF
the expresses, omnipotent favorItes
consigned aspiring rivals. And sihce
then whole generations Of men and
women, for no other crime than love
of their oppressed country, have en-
tered these gates, often to leave them
no more. .....
The horrors perpetrated within the
fortresses of st. Peter and st. Paul and
the Schluesselburg are typical of the
DIlSOu System ull ONtl INV lhhoalhh VIZ
pire, and in spite of official efforts to
suppress the facts II has been possible
to obtain the truth, both from former
officials and from those who have suf-
fered.
A special refinement of the Russian
prison system in the case of political
prisoners and SUSPECTS, who are not
given short shrIft on the placis or the
gallows, is continued solitary coniine-
ment until, as in the case Of that
splendid intellectual reformer, Dmitri
Pissareff, they can be reported as
harmless" Some prisoners have been
relieved of their senses quite gently
and almost politely, They We're shut
up in comfortable cells well lit with
electric light, and for mental pabulum
they were supplied with only religious
and technical works When insanity
or suicide supervened, the appointed
end had been secured.

Do you know what it is to have your
sentence of death commuted by the
Car? A little while ago Europe COM
mented with satisfaction on the COM
mutation by the Car of three death
sentences ont of FIVE. These fortunate
ones" were immured in cells in the for
tress of st. Peter and st. Paul Not only
were these dens dark for twenty-five
hours out of twenty-four bat the walls
were running with damp lind pools Of
water had gathered on the floor
Neither books nor anything that might
distract the mind was allowed, and one
prisoner having been found designing
geometrical figures with his. bread hahl
it removed by the jailor, with the re-
mark that hard labor convicts "were
not permitted to amuse themselves"
Another calculated torture In these
cells is the eyehole, at which warder
or soldier is posed to watch the pris-
oner. BY this means the quietest prls-
Oner is soon moved to frenzy, and the
slightest INSTRUMENTATION is at once
punished by merciless logging, If not
worse. Thus 1t comes about that Of
the three men whose sentences had
been committed, one, after a year of
these horrors, became a consumptive;
another robust and vigorous work
lngman, went mad; the third, also a
man of powerful physique, was rotted
with scurvy. Such Is the mercy Of
the Gar"
