the Izvestia, published long obscene
rhymes directed in open attack upon
the Russian clergy. The Red Gazette
had some cOuplets entitled Christ

depicted as complaining to God that
the people no longer listened to him,

fined in the Tower, is determined that
the matter shall not drop. While ex-
onerating the Australian military au-

treatment, he has called for court
martial, in order that the facts may
be known to the world. Sworn evil
dence was taken the other day. Faith
er O'Donnell denied absolutely the as
sertions of Lieutenant Chambers, and

so unjustly. In any other country the

would be interesting to trace the an
