AMERICAN JUSTICE CRITICISED
British Press DenOunces Convict
Lease System.

London, Aug. 3.-The Spectator devotes
long article to a pamphlet which it
received on the convict lease system in
America, quotations from which will be
read with almost incredulous horror in
this country.
The convict lease system. the Spectator
declares. reveals that, though justice may
be perfectly enshrined in theory in the
United States, it can only with the ut
most difficulty be procured in practice. In
the Spectators opinion, it would have
been well if the Federal Constitution had
placed criminal jurisdiction in the most
important cases, or, at all events, the
power Of supervision of all criminal laws
in the hands Of the central government.
State rights now form an impenetrable
stockade against the forces Of righteous
ness. for a State in defending its rights

forget everything, except that outside in
fiuence is trying 10 intervene The Spec
tatOr goes on to say:
That the Federal government should
get certain defined rights of Intervention
seems desirable. if not inevitable, not only
for the sake of domestic reform. but in
order to eliminate the danger Of reckless.

EMPRESS EUGENIES ESCAPE.
Count Nigra Tells How She Was
Taken from the TuiIeries,

AhE
The late Count Nigra. whose death waA
reported yesterday. was once Italian Am
bassador at Paris. and in that capacity
helped the Empress Eugene to escapa
from tue TuIleries in 1870.
The incident IS thus related by Nigra,
says the London Telegraph
Napoleon was a prisoner. all Paris was
crushed by the desolating news which
continually arrived. and thousands sur
rounded the Tuiledes- The Empress was
in despair and could not be persuaded 10
leave the palace. To Gen TrOchu the tasi.
of protecting her majesty had been COM
mitted. Ee showed himself. however.
very inactive, and seemed inclined 10 LET
matters take their course
In the antechamber TO her majesty's
apartments Count Richard Metternich and
Count NigTa suddenly appeared and de-
manded admission. The adjutant on
duty refused TO let them pass. The two
diplomatists brushed him aside and threw
open the door where the Empress sat.
They advised her immediate fight, telling
her she would be otherwise inevitably
lost. At last their advice prevailed, and
accompanied by Nine. Lebreton, and
wearing only a light mantilla, she hur-
ried through the picture gallery and a
long corridor 10 a side door, where the
sentinel refused 10 let them pass.
Counts Metternich and Nigra made,
however, short work of him, and led the
Empress into the street. where a man
was haranguing a crowd and violently
abusing Napoleon to some thousands Of
people. Nigra called to a passing farce.
A boy exclaimed; You are the Empress.
Count Nigra gave the boy q blow, crying:
Take that for having cried Long livs
the Prussians!' Then followed the we'll
known flight TO the house Of Dr. Evans,
from which place she proceeded on her
Journey"

New York. Aug. 3.-Having just started
on a 12,000-mile voyage TO the Orient, the
steamer st. George is back in this port to-
night, her trip having been marred by a
mutiny. After two hours effort TO make
the drunken crew obey, Capt May turned
the prov OF his steamer back rather than
risk the long voyage.
The trouble originated with ten Ger
mans. shipped last night as firemen- They
were drunk when the vessel sailed, and
were not awakened until the ship was
well under way. Then they made things
interesting They had whisky left and
it was passed around until many of the
sailors had likewise crossed the danger
line
Not a man would obey orders, and
neither threats nor coaxing would move
them. When the ship came back Capt
May and his mates we're standing guard
over the outfit with guns. The mutineers
were locked up over night, in the hope
that they Will be sober enough for a
start tomorrow.
