st. Petersburg, Nov. Siberian
journals are full Of the horrible suffer
ing which the political exiles undergo
in Yobolsk, Irkutsk, and other sections
Of that desolate land. During the last
eleven months, as many as 5000 peo-
pie have been sent thither. About
S,ooo have escaped, but the rest remain
to endure living death. They are
sent to the marshes where nothing
grows but rank grass, and where no
trade or craft can enable them to earn
enough to prolong their miserable ex-
istence. ,-- -. =.
The Russian government allows them
exactly 23 cents day. The money
sent by their friends rarely reaches
them, being Intercepted by the
czar's officials. In summer, they keep
body and soul together with fish caught
IN the rivers, and coarse rye bread. In
winter fish is worth it's weight in gold
and bread unheard Of. Then they eat
the grass from the frozen marshes.
Little wonder that scurvy, cholera and
typhus rage among them.
-. Live in Mud Huts.
This is not the worst, for they are
obliged to live in the mud huts Of the
native Ostiaks, infected with that ST.
berian scourage, leprosy. 1t is not
surprising that these exiles, most Of
them delicately reared men and women,
envy their more fortunate comrades
who have perished on the stockades Of
Russian fortresses for their political
opinions and have thus escaped this
certain, but slow death, known as
perpetual exile" They have no
hope for anything better and cannot
even find a SOlace for their e,,ffor;nr.
in work--for there is none to be done
in this frozen wilderness.
In spite Of the heavy death date,
for every week brings out fresh VIC.
TINS. In fact, the numbers Of politi-
cal exiles have increased to such an
extent that the Russian government
has. decided to run special Uexile;;
trains daily from st. Petersburg to
Siberia: These trains carry only Polit-
1: 1Sal prisoners, who are herded together
like cattle in unwarmed wagons.
They run at the speed of the so-called
postal" or courier trains.

here, fences were demolished, trees up- rooted and several cabins were blown down.
 Twelve miles west of Clayton the storm was in wild fury and the for ests around for miles were so lashed by the wind that the very heaviest trees were twisted and are piled upon each other. Fences and outhouses suc- cumbed to the fury of the winds and the rain poured in an unceasing flood for several hours. Streams were so swollen that they rushed over and be- yond the bridges and rural mail carriers could not make their rounds. Many of the public roads were i'm passable for n day or two and out of town people were compelled to suspend all work of hauling and attempts to reach the city.
 The superintendent of the public roads of the county has three new road machines and half dozen additional mules, making total of forty-nine now engaged in working the roads s Guano is going out to the farms at very rapid rate. Loaded wagons leave in every direction daily and the indications point to unusually large sales to the farmers this spring.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
DUN AND BRADsTREET TELL OF
 BUSINESS CONDITIONS.
Erratic Weather and the Usual Trcu- bie in Settling Down After Lengthy Holiday Have Re-
 stricted Operations.

New York, Jan. 4-R. c. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Erratic weather and the customary difficulties encountered in resuming nor nal conditions after lengthy holiday past week, especially in retail and job ping departments The situation is re- lieved to some extent by clearance sales of heavy weight wearing apparel. and food stuffs, while prices are maintained so firmly that confidence is evidently unshaken. Annual settlements are the favorable results anticipated. In some parts of the country 1t Is impos- sible to fill orders for lumber and build ing materials, open weather making structural work an unusual feature for the season.
 Manufacturing plants are resuming advance orders assuring activity for divisions of the iron and steel industry idleness can only be produced by ex- tensive cancellation.
 Thus far the railways have had little adverse weather with which to contend, earnings in December rising 6.4 per cent. above last years and reports of foreign commerce are even more strik- ingly favorable. At this port alone for the last week imports exceeded those of the year previous by $6,137.254, or about 50 per cent, while exports gained
 Textile industries continue in strong position as to the amount of bus mess in sight. but the primary mar kets have not yet recovered from hol- iday quiet The export situation shows no improvement, but the majority of lines are sold so far ahead that pro- ducers are complacent regarding the future. It is also noticed that compar- atively few buyers are in the market for woolen goods.
 t Conditions are without change in the hide markets, demand remaining quiet and packers stocks carried over were in no case burdensome. A firmer tone is noted in certain branches of the footwear market.
 Commercial failures this week in the United States were 253 against 211 last week and 290 the corresponding week last year. Failures in Canada number 32, against 27 last week and 25 last year. r.
