Gen. StOessel in Prison.


pondent recently visited General
Stoessel in the prison of st. Pete,
and st. Paul, in st. Petersburg, anc
has written an account Of this visit
and what he saw to his paper. From
this 1t appears that beyond being de-
prived Of his liberty the unfortunate
officers condition is not such a, hard
one.

General Stoessel, asked to tell OF
his prison life, told the reporter that
the day begins very early. At 9
O'Clock they bring the samovar and !
take tea. The authorities do not pro-
vide bread and we have to buy that
for ourselves. After light break

ing to see me. We have only the
right to receive friends once a week,
but the czar has accorded me the
spencial privilege to see my dear wife
every day. She remains until 8
o'clock, and is not permitted to stay
longer. When she is gone / stroll in
the garden for little and then set
tie down to work. I am writing my
memoirs, and at present am engaged
in describing my recollections of
childhood"
From this recital it appears that
the distinguished prisoner does not
fare as bad as might have been be-
lieved, with our notions of Russian
prisons and Russian barbarity.
General Stoessel, it will be remem-
bered, was sentenced to ten years
Imprisonment for having surrendered
Port Arthur. The evidence was clear
that the fortress could have been
held for time longer, at least, and
having been instructed to hold it to
the last extremity as soldier it was
his duty to have obeyed these in
structions. So clearly was it proven
at the trial that he failed in his duty
that at first he was condemned to
death, but this extreme penalty was
communated by the czar.
After the close Of the war, when
Japan released her prisoners, Cen
eral Stoessel arranged to live perma-
nently in the Far Feast, but when
charges were preferred against him
at home he returned to Russia to
a Russian. as is the general impress
sion, but a German. He moved to
Russia when very young, and the
czar's domain became his country by
adoption. Little was known of him
until 1900, up to which time he was
the commander of Siberian rifle
regiment. He distinguished himself
in the Boxer uprising by being the
first to enter Tientsin and then by
his dashing attack on Pekin. For
this he was promoted to be a major
general.
That he failed in his duty as a
soldier in surrendering an important
fortress before actually compelled to
do so seems to be certain That he
was coward, as some of his ,er-
sonal enemies claim. nobody will ever
believe, from his previous record and

prosecution would not be available. The

PoNY's LEG IN sPLlNTs.
Shetland Pony at Iowa City Undersoes
Unique Operation.

Iowa City, Nov. 3.-An almost un-
precedented piece of veterinary treat
ment has been completed at the Henry
Bird home, upon a little Shetland pony.
The animal is one of a team regarded
as the best matched in this vicinity.
While running loose with the horses
and other animals in the Bird barn
yard, the pony was injured in some
way 1t is believed that one of the
horses kicked it, and its hind leg was
broken. The animal has always been
pet and NJ. Bird was reluctant to
use the customary method of treat
ment-shooting-so q veterinary sur
geon was called in. The pony was
thrown and the injured member set.
Around the leg were placed plaster
of-Paris cast and the usual splints.
Next the pony was "slung," or sus-
pended from the ceiling of the barn.
In this manner 1t will rest until the
injured member knits. 1t is believed
that the operation will be successful,
altho 1t is only rarely that a horse is
so treated.
