The Blandford and Wimbourne Telegram. — 1880-09-24 (Blandford, Dorset, England)

PATIENT SPIN—The St. Petersburg Herold is responsible for a statement that a Nihilist prisoner, who lately committed suicide in the fortress of Se. Petersburg, was induced to make disclosures of the highest importance by a spy who was shut up with him for five months under the guise of being a political offender like himself. The organization of the revolutionary party, the names of its leaders, and their method of procedure are said to have been laid bare, and the explosion at the palace traced to a man who is already in the hands of the police.  FURIOUS FENIAN FOOTMAN,—A lad of 19, named Donovan, was last week sentenced to six months for writing to Lord Oranmore in this style : Lord Orantnore,—Read this carefully, for it may be the last letter you will read. You know what your Orange head has brought upon yourself ; but as sure as you are a Orange bastard, you will soon be laid low, like your friend Leitrim. There was people watching you last Friday to put a bullet through you ; but, unfortunately, he could not get the chance, but soon will. Fly while there is yet time; for you know what there is in store for you. This is no id!e threat, and you know the fate of Leitrim. I remain now one of the Queen's soldiers, but a Fenian at heart, and one who hopes to see you shot God save Ireland." Another letter was in the following terms : "Read this letter carefully, Lord Oranmore ; read this you bloodthirsty Orange dog ; you son of an informer; you are not yet done, you villain ; but y.iu won't escape the bold Fenian this time. You took good care to get out of the way. You Orange dog, your days are numbered."  "Tug EUROPEAN SLAVE TRADE IN ENGLISH GIRLS"— is the title of a pamphlet written by Mr. Alfred S. Dyer. It is terrible reading—all the more terrible since it is "a narrative of facts." In effect it gives chapter and verse for those stories of foreign traffic in English women which have been so repeatedly denied, but which there is evidence unimpeachable to prove. It shows by tale upon tale that houses of the worst character in foreign cities, licensed for evil, known to the authorities, and even defended by them, have their regularly constituted agents in London,seeking out pretty faces and trying toseduce their owners by promises of marriage and wealth to cross the seas. In these houses they are kept in order b" bullies," who hold them in subjection until they aro tamed to know no shame. No attempts are made to free them, not to speak of reclaiming them, by the poiice des stators. Those who wish to seek them out are met by opposition in every quarter. Our Ambassadors themselves refuse to Intervene, and when the Foreign Office is appealed to, it answers, after its wont, by referring to an investigation proved to have been a farce carried on by Scotland-yard some months ago. Even could it be proved that the girls finally acquiesce in their fate, having no hope of regaining a position in society, action ought to be taken. Men who live in London by supplying foreign cities with the mesas of vice ought to bo found out and punished. For they trade on innocence ; brazen vice would not suit their purpose, and is too wide awake to be tempted into loss of freedom—Hants Independent.  111110 AT
