RUSSIA THE

PeriIs Which Come of

Empire.

Editor Advertiser: Not again have l
n write of a yellow Peril, but, by the
Living God who moves us all to good
perchance we will. men and women
ought to know of what perils the Jap,
apanese fight TO keep we'll away from
themselves. Perils innumerable are
wonbed in Russian menace, in Rus
sian rule, in Russian brutality not
to speak, having information, and so,
may be. keep back even from the few
the knowledge of the doing of deeds
that BLACKLIST night would fail to cover,
would make one traitor to duty. Let
me speak and perhaps the wretchedness
OF the story i nave TO repeat will help
TO intensity the feeling already great
ly growing that Russians foe is night
ing for freedom, for very life and Tor
all that the best civilization of our time
wots OF ana cherishes-that makes
Truth divine and Manhood great. Sen
ator Beverage tells the world it is the
simple and traditional method of Rus
STA to strike when she strikes and to
spare not when striking. The Sena-
tor also graphically tells how the Rus
slams at Cock Tepe refused to accept
the surrender of the heroic Tepens.'
He further tells how the gallant Sko-
beloff then proceeded to slaughter
more than twenty thousand men,
women and children and mirabile
dictu, speaks of the intelligent ruth
lessness of Russian warfare! Today
Russia is not fighting heroic Tepans',
rIa of
race. Not 70 be repeated by the pu-
pill and lieutenant OF Skobeleff are the
atrocities of Cock Tepe. The men
Kuropatkin fights keep him from the
sacred and loved soil of their ia Their
land. For it they die and die not in
vain!
What today, sir, is Russia doing?
Let the Paris Temps tell the scarcely
to be repeated story, and let our hearts
be stirred to think that the will to COM
ness. has still Judgment in any hui
man bosom. Let it be remembered,
France is the loyal, honorable, ana
sympathizing ally of Russia. The
Temps is one of the leading if not the
leading journal of Paris. Speaking
of the emeute of January % last in the
Russian capital, the Temps in its ST.
Petersburg correspondence tells the
following deplorable story: 'The
wounded of January % were carried to
the different hospitals of the town.
Among them was a lady student who
was caught in the crowd and whose
left breast was slashed open by Cos
sacks sword. Some days ago a police
agent called at the hospital to take her
away but the surgeon told him she was
too i'll to go. A few days later the
police agent called again and received
the same answer. but this time he
obliged the young woman to accompany
him, though her breast was covered
with bandages. Twenty-four hours
afterwards an ambulance car brought
her back to the hospital in a shocking
state. She was pale as death and
could not stand. On being undressed
she screamed with pain, and it was
then found that her shoulders, back
and loins were black and blue.
"A eommissary of police had ques-
toned her on the revolutionary plot :
She refused to speak, whereupon she
was whipped with birch rods without
regard for her wound. She was ques-
toned a second time, but could say
nothing. She was then whipped again,
which drew from her all the police
wanted to know
Commenting on the above and on the
statistics of the killed in the ma ssa ere
of Jan. 22d, NJ Cornely, iii the Steele,
says: The slashed breast of the lady
student who was logged, makes more
! impression on me than all this lugu-
| brious arithmetic True true, true,
| Let the world know that such deeds
are done by men whose emperor
thought well to call the gallant Jap
! anese 'insolent foes" Is not the whole
world insulted by the unheard of, ex-
cept in Russia, barbarity. reluctantly
told by the conserva tive. we'll inform
ed Paris Temps? Yes, indeed. and in
the first instance the reply comes from
Russia's loyal ally.
