front of the winter palace The missiles
went high, entering the windows OF a
row of salons from which the empress,
the ladies of the court and the members
of the diplomatic corps, including the
American representatives, were witness
ing the spectacle below. A missile pick
ed up in the room was of the size of a
birds egg and it is thought to be q
piece of shrapnel fired from the bourse
in answering the salute Of the fort.
The police are investigating.

SERVIAN SOL LDIERS ARE

Vienna, Jan. Io.--A trial just com
cluded at Belgrade has brought to
light hideous forms of punishment
practiced habitually upon clumsy Ser

boiling water over the feet is a favor
ite method Of instruction. IA SER
geant named GeorgeWcs admitted that
he had meted out this torture for
years
Ut was proved that bastinado on the
soles of the feet is inflicted nearly
every week. Some soldiers have had
their toenails torn off; the arms of
others are run through with meat
skewers, while some unfortunate
wretches are kept for lengthy periods
suspended by their feet.
AS as a result Of this excessive
cruelty desertions are an everyday oc-
scurrence, and sometimes whole COM
3panies cross the borders into Mace

killed early last November tailed with
that of Best and Ingie notified the au-

The mystery surrounding the death of
