THE BUG HOUSE.
There is. however. one institution
in the penitentiary of which must
speak before ! leave this subject, an
institution l cannot condemn In terms
strong enough to portray my feelings
allude to the bug house The bug
house is a small steel cage without
windows, containing neither sufficient
light or ventilation.
when a man is put in the bug
house part of his clothes are taken
from him, and he Is fed two slices OF
bread and a mug of water twice o
day. He may be left there for 80 days
or longer, or only for 10; 1t depends
entirely upon the warden
Nov, when the thermometer gets
down below zero, that punishment is
inhuman, and is certainly unconstitu-
tional. Men have been thrown into

The most critical moment in the

WOMEN AND CHILDREN DIE
Steamer Empress Of Fort William,
Attempting Rescues, Also Goes
to Bottom - Thousands on
Shore Witness Disasters.

London.-The Peninsular and Orien-
tai line steamship Maloja, bound from
Tilbury to Bombay with mails and
319 passengers and crew, struck a
mine in the Strait OF Dover at 10: 30
O'Clock a. m, and sank two miles OF
Dover. The dead are estimated at
lat, of whom III are Lascars, mem
bers of the crew.
While attempting to rescue the sur
vivors who dotted the water around
the sinking Maloja the steamship EN-
press of Fort William. 2,101-ton YES
sci, struck another mine and sank in
less than half an hour. One man OF
her crew was killed.
The bodies OF eighteen men. eleven
women and four children were wash
ed ashore or picked up in the waters
near the spot where the Maloja went
down. Surviving officers and passen-
gers of the ship declare many women
and children were blown TO pieces
when the explosion of the mine blew
in the side OF the second saloon and
shook the ship from end 10 end.
Among the dead is Mrs. Mcleod. the
wife Of General Mcleod of the British
Army. Her body has been washed
ashore
The Maloja was sunk in what was
supposed to have been the only abso-
lutely safe passage in the waters sur.
rounding the coast Of England. She
came in contact with the mine just
after she had passed the Admiralty
Pier opposite Shakespeare Cliff, and
was almost exactly in the centre OF
the path from Dover to the Continent
through which British ships have been
transported to the battlefelds of
France and Flanders.
Thousands OF the people of Dover
witnessed the rescue work from shore.
A considerable number actually wit.
messed the blowing up OF the ship,
while almost the entire population
reached the waterfront before the YES
sci went down.
Just before the Maloja sank those
watching from the shore had another
thrill when the Empress of Fort Will.
lam sank under exactly similar condi.
tions.
