THE 13MES, MONDAY, MAEOH 1800. VSDSBOltCfUXD JtlTZB RANGES. Msjor General Philip Smith, who, dozing hi tnur ot th General cwmmandinf the Boa District, ha sined hifih popularity amor the metropolitan Volunteer by virtu of the rcalou intertrt which he haa shown in their feits, present at an important ceremonial on Saturday creninj The exeat, if the phrase nav be used, for hi preeence we the necessity of distributing the priics won by various members of the 4th Volunteer IUtUlioo Queen's Iloyal Wort Surrey llejimcat, and, to far at the di dribution wa eonocrncdi there wig little of bwIIt in the procpcdinjp at the Drill 111 in street, Kenhiogfon. Colonel Haddan commenced Vjr ptinc en interesting account of tho air of the battalion, taring particular stress cpon the fact that it had grown in strength during a rear in which the Volunteer force as a whole had declined, upon the high arerage of efficiency which it could boast, ana upon the fact that a certain number" of its members Bad in the course cf the vesr joined the ranks of the Regular Army. Then Msjorenetal Smith presenteu the prires, and a mutual interchange' of coraplimcntary speeches followed.

Immediately afterwards the uwaWwl company was "introduced to two novelties which are full of possibilities of good for Volunteers in general and for Volunteers belonging to metropolitan battalions in particular. It is notorious that metropolitan riflemen labour under great disadvantages in the matter of obtainr ing practice in the use of the infantry weapon, that the difficult of obtaining adequate ranges in lL open air tends to become greater ercry year, tod that the man can, as a rule, derate only their evenings to military training. Many inventions hare been brought out with the riew of minimizing these disadvanSiges. and it was thought at one tiae that 3l4 Morris had gone as far as was possible rewards the solution of the jiffi cu'tv. He.

it if. well known, derisod a plan by which a turV was introduced into the barrel of the JIsrtini Herinr, that, upon a miniature range of absalcte safety, men could use in the full sired weapon a charge and a bullet not larger than those of a saloon rife. Major Richards also introduced a scheme by which the Martini could be tsed a saloon rifle without the introduction of tab. Hi scheme in vol rod to all appearance the fixing of a revolver cartridge upon the flange sf.a Martini cartridge. In his case also there was a minister range.

But practical though they gladly admitted the merits of both schemes, could not fail to recognize in them a common defect which rreatlv impaired their raluo for military purposes. It is" no easy thing to teach a recruit to held his rifle properly, to tale an accurate aim to rtess and not'to pull the trigger and all these could impressed upon those who used the screnticas.of Mr. Morris. But there remained still the difficulty, apparently insuperable, of rendering the recruit accustomed to the recoil of the 're when fully charged, under any circumstances ctar than those of an open range. It may "bo said at once that Colonel Haddan and Dr.

Stephenson hare overcome that difficulty, and that the members of Colonel Haddan' "battalion can new. at thtar own headquarters, practise with carrying ajull charge and a rull sixed bullet, ard that when they go to an open range the fresh difficulties they will hare to encounter wi' be those of Wind and" light. Colonel Iladdan'a task has been to provide in th? middle of a crowded neighbourhood a perfectly safe range, the noise from which should uA reach the ears of the inhabitants of adjoining i Jses. In the matter of safety he has, with the assistance of Colonel Atharpe, the Commanding Rcyal Engineer of the Home District, absolutely succeeded. A tunnel, some 25ft.

long, has been driven under the drill ground 5 the roof, supported by iron has heen lined with Portland ement, the sides with brick "and lime the floor has been laid with concrete. A strong light a illuminates the miniature targets, ana tLe rifleman, who stands in a dim twilight, that he can take a perfect aim, while a large disc fan, driven by a gas engine, jtc.s the smoke up a shaft and clears the air. If this were all, nobody but a deaf man or one bold enough to risk the certainty of deafness could use the tunnel, for the noise of the report would ho intolerable. But Colonel Haddan has obviated this difficulty by lining the tunnel with thick felt coated with sackcloth, the result being that the coise of the report is immediately deadened. Mr; Rigby; the expert, perhaps strained a point when, in an after supper speech, he declared that the rifle in the new range would roar you as gently as any sacking dove and would be not more noticeable than the beat of a drum bat it is true, and it suffices for the purpose, that inside the vault the noise is not more than is tolerable.

Outside, cn the drill ground, the effect is curious each report is heard as a dull boom, similar to that of a heavy gun at a distance. Listeners with eyes closed might hare fancied themselves to be standing on the sea shore listening to a Royal salute fired far out at sea'. So much for the tunnel, which, when all issaid and done, is a device necessary only for Volunteers whoare compelled to make the best of their position in crowded neighbourhoods. Moreover, the tunnel would be useless if Dr. Stephenson had not invented his patent target ana in relation to this invention it may be stated that its aathor, with rare modesty: claims no credit, but declares that it was forced upon him by circumstances.

The. Volunteers in whom he "was interested had absolutely no range upon which to practise except an old stable which he placed at their disposal. In that stable Dr. Stephenson discovered that a bullet, impinging on a steel plate" laid at an angle of about 1 in 2J, would invariably rbde along the angle of the plate. That fact, iss: discovered, became the basis of his patent target, which completely obviates the difficulty of splash," which, as Maior General Smith observed, is the greatest obstaclo that the designers of little ranges hare to encounter.

The apparatus, in its present form, is easily described. The rifleman takes up his position facing a canvas screen, in the centre of which a paper target is pasted. The bullet, passing throughthe screen, strikes the steel plate and rushes upwards slang it At the top of. the inclined plane is'a piece of iron, overlapping it a little, after the manner of the eave of a house, and bent downward on the far side. This piece of iron, called the Hangs upon a hinge, and, while it yields to the impact of the bullet, rapidly kills its energy, so that in the end the dead missile drops into a box.

of The whole apparatus was subjected to a crucial test on Saturday evening by being, fired at several times in the crowded dr'll hall with the hew service rifle. If the bullets had splashed on the steel plate injury must hare been inflicted on numerous person's, amongst whom the General commanding the Home District, who. was standing by, might hare been numbered. Bat the inventor had perfect confidence, inasmuch as his target Had been tested beforehand within the walls of the War Office and at the Horse Guards. There can be no question as to the utility of this invention.

At the end of a tunnel such as that which Colbrfel Haddan, who encountered unforeseen difficulties in the shape of a spring and a eandbed, has constructed at great expense, it makes rifle practice possiblo in the heart of a city, and in the country, where" the ele noise need not be considered, it may be set up on any open piece of ground. It is not pretended, of course, that marksmen, in the technical sense, can ho made" by practice at the miniature range, but it is clear thit third class firing can be accomplished there under practical conditions, and that men can bo taught there in a thoroughly sound way.

Qosdosrhottse. Kojal HoawUl. Qalsea, March 21, At he eootsrt (Itm esi Wednesday sveaiaj la Frines'i hall, Mist Florence May played the second pari or book of a set of variations by Brahms upon a theme by Pajanlni. Although not ranking In point ef musical Interest with area tha. subordinate piano forte works of the Viennese master, the studies," as they are not Inaptly called, have mere than a mere edoeatlonal value, and the plsyer succeeded In fiving them all appropriate expression.

In fact her perform' ante of. these made a better impression than her play ing of some pieces Which some planUU. if not most, would have found more grateful, such a Chopin's polonaise in A Sat, Godard's En Ac. Miss May was associated with He it Gomperts in a capital performance of Itrahms's sonata in op. 78, and with Mr.

Howell and the same violinist in Mendelssohn's well worn trio in minor. The lovely slow movement in this work was announced cn the piano with somewhat scanty appreciation of its cantabile character. On Friday evening a programme of exceptional In' terest was performed at the social meeting of the Wind Instrument Chamber Music Society. Beside a promising rnUtet by Mr. Dolmetsch, one of the works commended in the competition for the society's prise, a set of three movements, or equali for four trom bone, by Beethoven, was played for tbe first time in their entirety, and the same instruments were employed together with tbe organ in tbe accompaniment and a setting by Ileinricb Sehuts of David's lamentation over Absalom.

The character of this work by one of the greatest of Bach's predecessors necessarily strikes modern ears as somewhat archaic, but there is an effect of pathos and dignity which cannot be mirtaken, and the structural and technical interest of the pieee is very great. The vocal part was sung by Mr. Robert Hilton. A graceful, concise, and admirably written trio for piano, clarionet, and bassoon, by Mr. C.

II LloyJ, was flayed, the composer tsking the pianoforte part. Dr. Mackentie. conducted the song by Schuts I and Spohr octet for wind and strings was given at the end of tbe concert. At the Saturday Popular Concert a very successful first appearance was made by M.

de Qreef, an eminent profrr of the pianoforte at the conservatoire at i Brnssela. In Mendelssohn's Variations sinenses and in Beethoven's trio in msjor, op. 70, No. 1, he ditplsyed a remarkably perfect technique, and a mature and mnsicianly style, free from mannerisms of every kind. The variations were given with much feeling for their contrasting styles', and not the least xoeri tort ous part of the performance was the steady refusal of the artist to grant an encore, though be was recalled three times to the platform.

The double concerto of I Bach was repeated by Madame Xerude and Dr. Joachim, and Schubert posthumous quartet in minor was plsyed Madame Bertha Moore was the vocalist. THE HOUSE OF LORDS, TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, Judging by the debate in both Houses of Par liament on" Friday last the peerage is in a parlous state." Mr. Laboucbere arraigned it nam on the charge of the immorality of the House of Lords as a legislative assembly, and Lord Bosebery attacked the Irish peers on the ground of their lamentable, and to him inexplicable, morality.

We may, perhaps, derive some little consolation from the reflection that Mr. Laboucbere Is an astute person, and that, in selecting tbe rUt of an exterminator for his annual benefit, he probably cbose a part likely to relieve him from further study during the natural term of human life. But still the situation is sufficiently terrifying, especially to the Irish peers. Attacked by such champions on two such opposite counts, it is difficult to see in whatdireetion safety may be found. Lord Bosebery regretted that the Irish peerage was divorced from the nation," and as his historical researches hare led him to believe that in tbe case of aristocracies divorce is followed by capital punishment, he informed them that they were a doomed aristocracy unless they succeeded, in re establishingestablishing tbe relationship so unhappily His advice to us is that, although we may be perfectly right in our attitude toward repeal, and thoroughly justified in our reluctance to join criminal conspiracies, we ought to brush aside all such childish scruples, and should speak, act, and vote contrary to our consciences in order to preserve our property, our titles, and our skins.

Such advice is not surprising, seeing that it is in perfect accordance with the principles adopted by the Liberal party, of acting in obedience to outrage, and of shouting with the biggest mob principles of mere selfish opportunism but the morality of such a system of ethics does not commend itself, I fancy, to Irish peers. Probably if they followed Lord Bosebery' example their material prosperity would be largely Increased, but I take leave to doubt whether the same could be said of their self respect. As just cause and impediment appears, therefore, to exist to our immediate re entry into matrimonial bonds, the only practical question before us is the locality on which our doom is to be Inscribed. According to Lord Bosebery, it was formerly: the custom. of aristocracies divorced from the nation' to write their fate in the ruins of the palaces of Venice and Versailles." Unfortunately no such edifices are available in Ireland.

Considering our straitened circumstances, we can scarcely be expected to erect palace for tbe purpose, and I trust we may be excused if we content ourselves with affixing our doom to tbe more humble doors of chapels, police barracks, pabliehouses, and other places on which notices are usually posted up. Tbe Irish peers are divorced from the people I venture to take exception to that statement. Judging from bis reference to the Report of the Special Com mission, Lord Rosebery's delight in his municipal func which he called tbe attention of the House of Lords, has not allowed him to give much time to such minor matters as Imperial politics or the affairs of the United Kingdom. But if he will study the Report in his rare moments of municipal leisure he will find it proved. beyond doubt that the movement in Ireland is an exotic plant pressed upon the people by means of a gigantic bribe, and forced upon them by a system of cruel punishment, coercion, and tyranny unparalleled in modem days.

Under those circumstances it is ridiculous to gauge public opiniou by ParUamentary representation or by any of the ordinary means at our disposal. Irish peers are not divorced from; tbe people they may be separated from them for a time, but the separation is not natural, it has been brought about by artificial means, by violence, and it will rot last. In any case I trust Irish peers will always rise superior to mere personal in their thoughts, words, and deeds will be influenced only by considers tions of what they honestly deem to be for the welfare of their country. Lord Bosebery read out to the House a long protest against the Act Of Union signed 100 years ago by several illustrious members of the Irish peerage, and proceeded to contrast the attitude of present peers with that of their forefathers. That men should make no advance during a century is a curious argu ment for so advanced a politician to use.

We have progressed since those days, and in any case the circumstances sre not parallel in any respect. Tbe noble lord's anxiety to witness the signature of Irish peers can easily be satisfied if be will consent to a slight amendment of the protest he read out and will introduce the words repeal of before the words the Union." In that case be will find Irish peers just as patriotic sow as they were 100 yean ago. Lord Bosebery agrees with the opinion given by a great Irish authority to the effect that the failure of tbe English to govern Ireland rested upon this that the English had no sense of humour." There may be some truth in that, though tbe sense of humour is withering under the Union of hearts but surely Lord Rosebery's nationality is not of so pronounced a character as to preclude him from perceiving how Intensely ludicrous in Irish eyes are the political antics of the Liberal members of tbe Separatist party. Mr. Gladstone furbishing up the lamp of justice and bringing in his fourth final measure for the regeneration of Ireland, Mr.

Pamell posing as the champion of the British taxpayer and spurning English gold, Mr. Moriey philosophically discoursing of the great famine without any reference to the potato disease. Sir William Harcourt growing fat on a diet of his own words. Lord Spencer and Mr. William O'Brien weeping tears of joy on each other's bosoms, Mr.

Patrick timidly emerging from a reformatory kept by Mr. Michael Davitt, and the Liberal party generally dancing obedient to the pipiog of Fenians and Irish Nationalist of all shades of opinion, form a picture calculated to tickle with exquisite pleasure" the sense of humour of the Irish people. Even thou among them who have not saluted St. Bridget or bathed in the Shannon cannot resist the temptation of taking a rise out of the Itinerant politicians who found their knowledge of Ireland upon the Inspiration of KUIarney guide or a Dublin car driver and one of the most US cult matters to deal with la Ireland at the present day It the intense gratification the people derive treae plsrlng ttpoa the 'easy eredollty of Mr. Gladstone and his followers.

If the leaders of a one great and historle party la England only knew what is said and thought of them In Ireland they would he rati Sod by the assurance that, although they fall la the matter of repeal, they will have earned the trU tude ef the whole Irish race for tbe Intense amusement they have afforded them. It is not quite clear to me that Lord Bosebery It not taking a hand In this little game, and that In the seclusion of bis non political office be does not find relief from tedium in witnessing the contortions of his political colleagues. No one would deny him such innocent delight, but it is carrying a joke too far to ask Irish peers to join In i they must not allow their senso of duty to be overcome by their sense of humour. lour obedient servant, March 23. DUN RAVEN.

THE SIBERIAN ATROCITIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES Sir, Will you kindly allow me some ef your space for a. few calm remarks as regards the evidence obtained by your St. Petersburg Correspondent from Russian functionary in connexion with the Yakutsk affair 1 The Russian Government began, first, by flatly deny ing tbe very fart of an armed encounter between the exiles and the troops in Siberia. When the revel tions of Tk Timti were telegraphed to America and Paris, the Russian Embassy at Washington denied the fact itself, and the Russian Embassy at Paris supplied the French Pre with commvnufiiil, saying that the whole affair was an invention of tbe enemies of Russia Now we have an officious, not yet official.

confirmation of the fact. Objection is only raised as regards some details nay, the very details are con firmed, and the difference becomes one of simple appreciation The person interviewed by your St. Petersburg Correspondent admits that the exiles were fired upon at Yakutsk, and that the first cause of the conflict was the discontent of the exiles with the new rules of transport from Yakutsk to the tundras enforced by the Governor Ostaahkin. He admits, next, that the exiles began by lodging a written complaint to the Governor: and that, collective petitions being pro hibited, they complied with that rule as weU, and signed, each one 'of them, a separate petition the only grief of the Rnssian functionary being that tbe peti tions were identical. The legend of secret presses, barricades, and rebellion Is thus destroyed.

Further, the interviewed person admits that the exiles gathered in a house waiting for the Governor's derision, when an official came and ordered them to march, all of them, to the GoTcmment office," which tbey refused to do without any plausible reason. The reason of the refusal was my informant wrote immediately after the affair happened that they were told by that same official that from the office they all would be sent to prison, and that next day the first party would be scut to the tunaVai according to the new rules, which, in their opinion (and iu mine as well), meant starving on the road. Upon this refusal Tke Timet' correspondence again is confirmed by the interviewed Bussisn functionary soldiers (with loaded rifles and fixed bayonets) were sent to seise the exiles by and when rifles are loaded and the soldiers are ordered to' use force, a massacre every one knows that is unavoidable. And. then came the court martial.

It was composed of Yakutsk officers and mb ofiicers it did not inquire into the causes of the conflict it was ordered simply to apply the article of the military code which deals with armed rebellion in face of the enemy and which means destb to all rebels, and therefore it condemned three rebels to be banged and excused itself for not condemning all to the same punishment in such words as these Anastatic Shekhter, for net having taken part in the resistance and having induced them mot to resist, to four years of hard labour." The objection) raised by the exiles as to the new rules of transport amidst the tuxdrat was a trifle, we are told by the St. Petersburg functionary. But, with the St. Petersburg officials' absolute ignorance of what Siberia is, no importance can be attached to that appreciation. I remember, when I once came from Siberia to St.

Petersburg to report upon. a disas ter of 40 barge loaded with corn destroyed on the Amur, how the chief director of the Amur affair was saying: il possible que qnarante bateaux soient detruits par la tenrpMe sur la Nra Whereupon 1 had to recite to the chief director of. the Amur affairs such data as he might have discovered in any geographical dictionary upon the width ef the Amur, being three times, and, in some places, ten times, that of the Neva while another day I had to explain to another important leader of Amur affairs that the old retired clerks from the St. Petersburg offices whom he proposed to gratify with land on the Amur and agricultural implements would starve there if they were settled according to his scheme. For the St.

Petersburg functionary the new rules are a trifle for the exiles and their families they meant life or death. Further, I fully admit, as I saw it myself, that prisoners and exiles are liable to be nervous. One easily grows nervous after having been sent without any rimtdacrt of trial to Yakutsk, marched for years from itape to 4 tape, and having the perspective of being kept, for no one. knows how many years, in Verkhoyansk, a hamlet of 17 houses, in 67deg. 30min.

N. or Sredne Eolymsk, a hamlet of 53 bouses, the inhabitants of which can even not provide food for their dogs their only draught animals. But I also know from my own experience in Siberia and at Clairvaux. that if every act ot what is complacently described a nervous. ness was met with soldiers' rifles, blood would be shed every month wherever there are prisoners and exiles.

And why did the Siberian political exiles who have endured so peacefully all imaginable and even unimaginable sufferings for the last 20 or 30 years suddenly become, so nervous that no less than eight serious conflicts happened in Siberian prisons THE ASSIZES. NORTH EASTERN CIRCUIT. At Leeds last week, before Mr. Justice Day and a common jury, the ease of I 'Anson v. Johnson and Guy was heard.

This was an aetloa for.Ubel. Mr. Waddy, Q.C., aad Mr. H. T.

The plaintiff was let out on ball that night, and the next morning waa brought up at the Hull Follce Court, and bound over to keep the peace for a certain time. On April 27. 1889, an article appeared is a vv" cauea we tut A oi wmen the defendants were the publishers and proprietors, entitled The Joys of Judgeship," in which, amongst other inmgs, is waa slated tnet the plaintiff had betted freely on the races and lost withoot bavins' the means wherewithal to pay.

In the next issue of th paper an apology was inserted, which, however, was not accepted by the piaiawu. At we trial it was not contended that the article was not libellous, and Mr. Lock wood only addressed the jury in mitigation of damages.

On Saturday, before Mr. Justice Grantham, Robert BTKX3 uisGHAV, sv, provision merchant, on bail, waa charged.with unlawfully encouraging, persuading, and endeavouriuz to persuade divers neraon la murder una James M'Loughlm, at Sheffield, on the S2d ot Decem oer, loss. mt. u.

Mellor and Air. Harold Thounaa ...1 I If. Kershaw, it appeared that in the month cf December last a since was going on at the works of Messrs. John Brown and Sheffield. During the progress oi we striae, on sunuay, we zza, a.

socialist meet in? was held at a place called the Jubilee Monolith. at Sheffield, and at this meeting the prisoner made a speech. James M'Lougblin and his brother Joseph had taken the place of some of the men who were out on strike. Some few days prior to this meeting ill feeling bad existed between tbe strikers and those who bad taken their place, and proceedings had teen taken for the protection of the latter, lie following is a portion oi me speecn delivered If you cannot speak, you can push our papers, and in the works you can say something to your men. You can sar, at any rate.

To hell with the capitalists to hell with the land lords away with them down with the sweater down with the You can do something to help too men wno are ngnung ana to cripple ana injure the men whom we bare to fight. For instance, to day there is a little strike going on at Brown's. I will not trouble you with the "particulars, but there are enemies in this case. Tbe men wbo prevent them from winning, who are making tbe fight difficult, and an unequal ugnt. are we cao 'we duty wretcned class who really don't ought to be allowed to walk on these streets that honest working, men have made.

They are traitors to their cause. Men who did this kina of thing in war, if they were fighting in a battle where vour masters bad the bossina and were to do things that they were doing here, tbey would be taken and snot vim a light heart and serve them right. Now it would not be murder in that case and I say. so fsr as I am concerned, if I were on a jury, if I were the Judge, so far as I had any voice at all, to me it is not murder if one of these enemies and traitors was killed. I have not a word of censure there are plenty who will bare.

There's your friend the Independent, the Telegraph, Mr. Mundella, Coleridge, Wortley, Vincent, Bartlett. Your friends parsons and capitalists, all round, will tell you, I am sure, that it is but here I say it is not murder. It is killing a traitor, and traitors should have no quarter so far as I am concerned they will have no quarter. And no matter whether a policeman' runs you in and the Judge puts on the black cap and sentences you to death for killing this man, the murder is not with you, but with the Judge and the policeman, and not with the honest working man in killing the unwholesome specimens of his race.

Well, now say you ran fight the scabs, and if you can fight the scabs and can eliminate them from you, if you can make any man who is a traitor to his fellows sure of coirc in terror on the streets, and make him feel somewhat the mean, despicable traitor that he is, you will have helped us in the fight. Let all do that, and as much more as you can. There is no one so simple but can assist in some wav in this fight. Therefore don't be discouraged. Don't think because you cannot be a John Uright, or a atoms, or a Hyndman, or a Krapotkin.

that vou cannot do some thine. MErerv one can do something every man can assist in this instead ui ugubujg im iae capitalists or ueipmg to maae uio banker's fortune bigger, the duke's fortune bigger, instead of getting fresh burdens, w.hich means fresh taxes, upon you. You are fighting in this case for your ow social freedom." It wai contended that the defendant de livered the speech to incite people to murder the M'Loughlins. Some few dars after the speech was delivered these two men" were molested and assaulted as tbey went to and from their work. It waa urged on behalf of the prisoner that although the speech was an inflammatory one it would not bear the construction laced upon it, and that the meeting was held for ocialistic purposes', and had no connexion with the strike.

Tbe jury, after a short retirement, found the prisoner guilty of using language very likely to lead to serious consequences, which was much to be deprecated, but did not find him guilty of intent to incite to murder. This amounted to a verdict of not guilty, and be was accordingly discharged. SOUTH EASTERN CIRCUIT, it rr i i n. man, Hctar Grzekwood, io, described as a gasfitter. was indicted for shooting at a policeman named Childs at St.

Albans, on February 6 last, with intent to murder him. Mr. Muir prosecuted the prisoner was undeteudea. ineiaets were snortiy wese. At o'eiocic on the morning in question Childs, who was on duty, saw the prisoner in the garden ot a house belonging to a Mrs.

Glover. Tbe policeman came near, and prisoner drew a revolver and told him that if be came, a step nearer be would blow his brains out. The prisoner then fired, but, as the policeman ducked, the shot did not take effect. Tbe next day Childs and another policeman, being in plain clothes, met the prisoner and arrested him. The prisoner, on whom a loaded revolver was found, attempted to draw it, but was prevented.

Subsequently the pisoner made a statement to a fellow prisoner in the cells that he was an American citiien. The prisoner, whose defence principally consisted in mireestinc that the policeman was never shot at at all, was Convicted of shooting with intent to do grievous bodily barm and with intent to from the end of 1887 till April, 1889 all ending in resist his lawful arrest. Ho was sentenced is 1883, the most revolting acts of brutality Why is it that the exilea at Kirensk and Balagansk, though they knew that they were entirely at the mercy of the authorities, which could flog them to death like Madame Sihida, I or starve them in a Yakut encampment, suddenly became so nervous that they sent, in June last, to the Ministry of Interior petitions which I now hsve before me, in which petitions they openly said that they could live no more in Siberia, provoked as they wero every day by the governors of the prisons and tbe officers in charge of the transported exiles why people who have endured a treatment which no Englishman would endure without revolting suddenly grew So nervous as to risk their lives for simply lodging a complaint M. Galkin Vrassky, the Chief Superintendent of Russian Prisons, is precisely the person who might explain that nervousness." lie is right in saying that be bad nothing to do with the exiles at Yakutsk, but all political exiles are under his rule as long as they are kept in prisons or march from one ciapr prison to the "next one and the above mentioned conflicts began precisely1 since he ordered, with the Czar's consent, to treat the. political exiles as common law exiles.

Now, Sir, hundreds of books, review articles, and official reports have been printed in Russia itself in order to show that the treatment of common law prisoners in Siberia is worse than, anything that might! be imagined, even with the help of some reminiscence of the European prisons of old. Every one in Russia knows, and M. Galkin Vrassky knows it as well, that brutality of the worst arbitrariness, and spolia tion 'are the characteristics of the treatment of common law prisoners in Siberia. He almost admits it himself in his last year's report. He knows that they are flogged to death for what a drunken officer will choose to consider as an act ot breach of discipline.

He knows that even the rights of infancy are not respected by the itape officers thst the transport to Siberia is a real massacre of children that the outrages committed on the families of the exiles are indescribable. He knows all that, becacse it stands in black upon white in what is printed in Russia itself. And to that treatment he has surrendered the political prisoners to that treatment he has induced his officials by the famous circular be issued in 1888, in which circular be expressly pointed out that corporal punishment by flogging must be applied to political prisoners. That is why tbe political prisoner are so nervous and that is why exiles were massacred at Yakutsk, and Madame Sihida was flogged to death at Kara all facts which the Russian agents in this country and elsewhere began denying first, and now try tojustlfy. The Yakutsk and Kara tragedies are the direct outcome of the new system introduced by M.

Galkin Vrassky with the approval of the Cxar. And now, things have gone so far with that new system that nothing but a complete cessation of exile and a return ef all those whom they have outraged will be capable of satisfying public opiniou in Russia and abroad.

This was an action in which the plaintiff, a cross country jockey, sued his employer for riding fees at the rate of 10 for a winning and 5 for a losing mount, for the balance of the price of a horse, and also for money received on "bets made on commission. The defendant counter claimed for money paid for bets on commission, and, moreover, set up a charge that the plaintiff had pulled one of his horses, named Silver Sea, in a race at Warwick. In respect of this foul riding be claimed 400 damages, that being the amount which be said he would have won in stakes and bets Lad the horse not been pulled With regard to the betting, the plaintiff failed to recover snany items, because he could prove only that he instructed the defendant to make the bets, not that the bets had been made or the money received. Other items the Judge ruled bad been disposed of by a settlement of accounts between the psrties. Tbe substantial question tried was whether the horse Silver Sea bad len pulled or not.

The plaintiff swore that he bad done his best to win the race, but had been outpaced. He admitted, however, that his riding had been reported, and that the Grand National Hunt Committee had consequently suspended him, which suspension still continued. He called Hunt, the winning jockey in the race, who said that when be took up the running and passed Silver Sea the horse was then well beaten. The defendant swore that he watched the race, and saw the plaintiff pull his horse just as he was getting home, but he called no further evidence Cn this point. The jury in the end found for the plaintiff on the balance of accounts for 74, and negatived the charge of foul riding.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT. At Liverpool, on Fridayt Elizabeth Wislaw and Arthur Wrt were charged with arson on December 10 last. Mr. Shee and Mr. Steward prosecuted Mr.

M'Connell appeared forWinlaw and Mr. O'Feely for Wry. Winlaw, a widow, was licensee of a small hotel, in Benn's gardens, Liverpool, frequented by seafaring men. Wry had come to her house to stay while his ship was in Liverpool, and tbe acquaintance thus formed ended in their. living together as man and wife on the premises.

She formed habits of intemperance, and the business fell off: At the end of October last an insurance then existing on the furniture, stock, and fixtures for 500 was increased to 700. Winlaw was unable to meet small claims upon her, and her refit fell into arrear, stock was sent away, a servant was discharged, and two children of hers were seat to visit a relation. On the evening of December 10 about 10 30 a policeman saw smoke coming from one of the windows. On getting in he' found no one in the house, bat discovered, six or seven separate fires burning and traces of attempt to kindle fire. The fires were pot out without any serious damage having been done, and on examination it waa found that the furniture and stock on the premises were of a value not exceeding 220.

The prisoners came back about 11 15 and were taken into custody. The woman made a statemest to the effect that whatever was done, if criminal, was done by the man in her absence. Mr. O'Feely. contended that the man had no interest la the property, and that the proof of an incendiary burning was not conclusive.

Mr. M'Connell dwelt on the good character of the woman, the want ot concealment by her, the truth ot her statement, and the probability all that had bean done had beea done without hex knowledge. Tbe fare, after stsma daHW.tW both 0wU. aeeoarpaaytng their verdict a to the woman with a strong recommendation to mercy. Bhe was sentenced to 12 months' hard labour, and Wry to LABOUR AND WAGES QUESTIONS.

The South Side Labour Protection League, which is engaged at the present time in iormisg branches of women workers, has been bringing pressure to bear an the Government Departments to secure better con ditlon for the cmplejii in dockyards and arsenals Lord George' Hamilton, M.P., has been asked to receive a deputation from the league on tbe subject, bat on Saturday Mr. Henry Quelch, the secretary, received the following letter from his lordship, who refused to pant an interview Sir, I am desired bv Lord George Hamilton to acanowieuge ue receipt ot your letter requesting him to receive a deputation from the South Side council of the Labour Protection League with reference to the scale oi wages now in force in her Majesty's dockyards. Lord George desires me to inform you in reply that as fall opportunity is afforded to aU Admiralty mplcjii of putting forward their wishes in reference to any alteration of the conditions under which they are engaged or are work ing, he does not see that any advantage would result from his discussing" with an outside body questions on which they can only speak with second hand knowledge and authority. He must therefore decline an interview with we deputation which propose to wait on him. I am.

Sir, your obedient servant, Hobacz STraar. H. Quelch, Esq." On' Saturday afternoon a larrelv attended rrablie meeting of traders and shop assistant wa held at the Lecture hall. Hieb street. Dectford.

under tti. auspices of the Shop Hoars' League, the patrons of wnicn include ue Archbishop or Canter bray, the Diauop oi uooaon, nanning, and sir John Lubbock. M.P.. the object of the ratherunr bein? the reduction by legislation of the working hours of adult shop assistants. Mr.

Sale, shop assistant, wbo presided, said that for many years associations had failed to secure any appreciable diminution in the hours of labour of shop assistants. They had in some instances obtained half holidays, and that was all. Most assistants now worked from 85 to 100 boors per week, and wis prolonged labour waa very injurious to their health. especially to us( oi we iemaie assistants. Tee con' ditions of their employment prevented their lining and striking as artisans were able to do, and it was felt that their grievances could only be effec tively reorcaaea oy compulsory legislation.

Hence they supported tbe Bill, which had been drafted by Mr. T. Sutherst, the president of the league, for limiting the hours of labour to 12 daily, inclusive af meai tune, nxing a nau noiiday one day 01 the week, beginning at 2 p.m., and providing that no asristanta should be required to work later than 8 save on Saturday, when the hour would be 10 p.m. Mr. T.

Sutherst stated that the Shop Hours' League had been mainly instrumental in securing the Shop Hours' Regulation Act, which prohibited the employment of young persons under 18 in shops for more than 12 nours uaiiy. a detect in that Act, which it was now sought to remedy, was that no inspectors were appointed to enforce it provision, but not withstand ing this many employers had been fined for requiring boys and girls to work from 75 to 100 hours a week. The lesgue now deemed it necessary to go a step further and try to obtain legislation a reduction in the abominably long hours during which adult assistants were now compelled to labour. Already many members of Parliament representing London and pro vuiciat cvwuiaeucici osu promised to support we assistants' demand. Sweating, overwork, underfeed ing, ana coarse leeaing were extensively practised at the exnense of shen assistant in Hui i.

r. pool, Birmingham, and other larze cities, as well as in London. He should take care that the constitu encies of all members of Parliament opposed to the 12 hours' movement knew the facts. 4le moved a resolution pledging the meeting to support the demands of the assistant ior a reduction of hour by legisla tion, air. innstaii (assistant seconded the motion, which wa supported by Mr.

Miller (another assistant). Mr. Harvey, barrister at Law, and Mrs. Sutherst, and carried unanimously. Late on Friday night a publio meeting consisting largely of railway rmployii and artisan was held at the public hall, Waodsworth road.

Battersea, which accommodates 2,000 persons, and was crowded, to express sympathy with the tram and omnibus men in tneir euorts to reduce tne hours or labour to 12 daily, inclusive of meal times bv means of legislation. Mr. A. C. Morton, if.

who presided, said he represented a constituency (Peterborough) in which there was a large number of railway men, and he was quite sure that they took a deep interest in curtailing excessive hours of labour in every department of industry. Mr. T. Sutherst, president of the London and Counties Tram and Omnibus Men's Union, moved a resolution deprecating the long hours that tram and omnibus men were now required to work, and calling upon members of Parliament to support the 12 hours' Bill with two hours' relief daily for meals. He said there were undertakings, which employed lOMtO men.

Those men earned 12iO, 000. profit every year for the companies employing wem, and yet he believed that the horses and property of the companies were better cared for wan we anvers ana conanctors. it was noped to curtail the hours of labour to 12 daily, inclusive of two ior meals and to transfer to labour 70,000 of the 250,000 profit, which now went into tbe pocket of shareholders. He believed that shorter hours did not mesn a less wages fund, and remarked that tbe old political economy was happily dead. Alluding to the Berlin labour conference, he said it was evident that a silent revolution was occurring in every civilised country in the interests of labour.

Prince Bismarck, who represented the old school of political economy, was retiring, and the young German Emperor who represented the new policy of social reform was leading the reform party in Germany. Ue believed that the efforts of the conference would result in the boys, girls, and women of the Continent being protected by legislation in the same way as they were protected in England. The Rev. Mr. Holden seconded and the Rev.

Mr. Morris supported tbe resolution, which was carried unanimously. A meeting, of East end tailors, machinists, and pressers was held on Saturday night in Christ Church School room, Hanbury street, Spitalfields, and was largely attended. Tbe chair was occupied by Mr. Lewis Lyons, who, in tbe course of an extended address, said that as the Sweating Committee had not suggested any method by which the evils under which they laboured could be removed, the strike committee, acting on behalf of the London Tailors' Machinists Union and the London Tailors' Pressers' Union, had decided to take the matter into their own hands.

They declined to be played with any longer, and intended to declare war against the middleman for his total abolition, so that they should not be compelled to work long hours in back rooms and garrets, wherein were made not only the garments of the working classes, bat those of the aristocracy, aU of which were paid for at a very low wage, in tbe East end there were some 40,000 men and women engaged in the tailoring trade. They were strong in numbers, although they, were poor in funds. He believed they won Id have the support of the public, and that it would be hotter to suffer from privation than remain to be slowly murdered as they were at present. The struggle had been forced upon them by tbe neglect of the Government, and he suggested that the Strike Committee should ask the Government for 100,000 to enable them to carry on the fight. The way to shame the Government would be to send a telegram to the Berlin Labour Conference, to the effect that the tailors of London were dying from consumption owing to the unhealthy condition of the sweating dens, and a telegram, couched in similar words, should be sent to the Queen.

The following resolution was then unanimously adopted That this mass meeting learns with profound regret of the failure of the Parliamentary Sweating Committee to suggest any remedies for checking the evils of the sweating system. In consequence we consider ourselves justified in taking action to abolish Lsueh evils by declaring a general strike of all tailors engaged in the ready made clothing trade, also in the bespoke trade, carried cn in sweating dens, and we endorse, the action of the joint committees of the London Tailors' Machinists' Union and 'the London Tailors' Pressers' Union in apoointinr a I strike committee. That this meeting empowers the strike committee to ax ue date lor we strike, to make all necessary arrangements with the provincial tailors, and to exhaust all peaceable means before resorting to a strike. We hope, therefore, that as the inhuman conditions under which we are compelled to work are known to all through the evidence given before the Sweating Committee, the public and the Press will in erery possible way assist us, both in London and the provinces, in our efforts to relieve ourselves from the manifold abuses we suffer. Finally, we ask all clothing manufacturers and merchant tailors to employ the work hands direct, in their own premises, ana under their own supervision.

And we call upon our brethren in the province to form strike committees at once to protect their interests and to receive instructions from the London strike committeecommittee An important meeting of workmen employed by the various barge building firms was held on Saturday at tbe Bricklayers' hall, Southwark bridge road, S.E.. to receive the report of a special committee appointed by the men. The chairman said that at a previous meeting it was unanimously agreed that a special committee should be appointed for the purpose of drawing up a manifesto to be presented to the masters. By agreement the committee was selected from the men. The report was then read, and it waa stated that the hours of labcur to be spent in all branches ef the trade should not exceed 54 per week, with one hour and a half for meals for five days, no time being allowed for Saturday that, moreover, tbe wages for such work should be paid at tho rata of 3d.

per hour. After several speeches the report waa adopted, with a vote of thanks to the comnuttee. A workers In restaurants, hot la, ernbs, taverns, for the protection ot their Interests. Mr. Frsyer presided, and said that the object ef the meeting was to organise waiters into a solid body.

A resolution was passed as follows i That this nubile meeting of international waiters here aatemtled pledge Itself to do all in IU power to rats the present position ue waiters uq inrucr so issv every pocateie mesne mbers to the union. Tbe resalstlo with acclamation, and the meeting in bringing members to was carried terminated. The smiths employed in her Majesty's doe yard. She erne as, hare decided to petition the authorities for an increase ot cay, on the ground that the present rates are considerably below the wages paid by private firms for the same class of work. A number of smiths wbo recently completed their apprenticeship la the yard and were entered at 4s.

9d. per day, have obtained employment under private firms at from 6. Cd. to 6s. per day.

The struggle between the Kentish briekmasters and the bargemen still continues, and tbe severity of a lock out is beiog keenly felt by the. thousand of bnekmakers in the Sittingboume and Faversham district. Tbe formation of a local board of conciliation led to the hope that at last a settlement might be effected, but the refusal of the Briekmasters' Association to" meet there gentlemen put an end to all speculation on this point. Then the Bargemen's Protection 8oeiety, through the medium of Mr. C.

F. Ashton, the general secretary, referred the matter to the Conciliation Board of the London Chamber of Commerce. But this step had been taken without previous consultation with the masters. The proposal was for five representatives of each association to meet at the council room of the Eutebeep, to settle the disputed points between them. Mr.

Ashton announced that the bargemen's tariff of rates would be the basis on which they would work. Tbe Briekmasters Association, however, declined to alter tbe decision at which they had previously arrived, and repeated that in no case could the said tariff of rates be accepted as the basis of a diseusion or settleOiCnt. On Saturday keen disappointment was onenlv expressed throughout the whole district, and the men felt that in spite ot all eflorts we deadlock was likelv to con tinue for an indefinite period. Something must speedily ue uone to cring masters ana nMuirageuer. lnstrese among the locked out workpeople isTficrruing, and the local funds established at Sittinzbourne and Favers ham to provide for the immediate wants in necessitous case will soon be totally inadequate to meet the heavy strain upon them.

On Saturday soup kitchen were ope pec at. both towns, and these were larzeiy patronised. Coal and other necessaries are being distributed throughout the districts, and relief is also bestowed privately cut there are Cunoreds oi cases to be met. In some of the country districts, where nothing but brirkmakini roes on. the entire male' population are locked out.

Local trade is paralysed. and aaair are getting desperate. Thu was reflected in the tone of a mas meetinr held at Sittinzbourne on Saturday, largely attended by the half starved brick makers, who loudly exclaimed that would not stand it much longer, snouting in a chorus, Wo won starve." The lollowinz resolution waa also passed unanimously That this meeting regrets, to learn that the briekmasters have refused the offer of; the bargemen to refer the dispute to arbitration, either by the Conciliation Committee of the Central Chamber of Commerce or a committee of local gentlemen, and urges them to reconsider their position, and thmV endeavour to pat an end to the suffering and misery caused by this dispute." lhe Northumberland Loalownen' Association met at Newcastle on Saturday to receive the accountants' statement of the price of coal realised during December, January, ana February. A deputation trom the aimers' Association attended, including: air. Eurt.

and Mr. C. Fenwick, the former having come from Berlin to attend the conference. The owners adopted the following resolution That, with pay commencing Monday, March 24, or Monday, March 31 (according to the arrangement of pays at each colliery), an advance of 7 per calculated on the basis of 1879, be given, making the wages 'of underground workmen and banksmen to be. tC7k per cent, above that basis, and other surface labour 22 'per cent, above the basis." The representatives of the men agreed to accept the resolution.

In connexion with the strike of the north east enast engineers icjrXa reduction of hours from 54 to a mass meeting of labourers was held at Newcastle ioa Saturday. The speaker complained that though! so many laWerb were' thrown out of work owinsr to tho strike of the engineers, the engineers had not allowed the labourers to take cart in the ballot which or ee ins tated the strikl. Mr. W. Stanley, secretary of thes National LabouVers' Union, said that if the engine em' wanted a fight and wanted to benefit the whole ef th working population they should have consulted every body concerned, and should, have let them all determines to sro in lor something wnicn would nave been worua fighting for namely, an eight hours day.

Tho follow ing resolution was adopted inat we. tne unskilled labourers, in meeting; assembled, call upon the public for support and sympathy in this dispute between the engineers and their employers that we. also request Mr. Moriey, for this city, to intervene on behalf of the unskilled labourers thrown out of employment through the action of the employers and the engineers." A meeting of the employers takes dace to dav. and the men's delegates also meet.

The ioint committee of the Liverpool and Birken head branches Of the Labourers' Union have adopted the following bases of settlement which have been for warded to the council of the Chamber of Commerce 1. They are agreeable to work with Liver pool non union men. 2. They are ready to work witi imported men, provided the employers will take measures to keep the men separated as far as poasi Die. and was no man snail oe coyeoitea or prejudiced by the strike.

3. The night is to be nine hours, and overtime to be double rate. 4. If the dinner hour is postponed an boor it is to be paid double rate. i.

Xhe masters will meet ue men when the strugglej over, andagree upon rules." The Employers' Labour Association met on Satur day, but no communication had been received from we men. is is understood was we employers win listen to no proposal which does not provide for harmonious working with tho imported men. Individually the strikers seem anxious to resume work, and it is said that most of them will probably do so to day, whether or not a formal settlement be reached. As a class, however, the. men wear a resolute appearance, and.at a ereat'meet lag on Saturday they cheered aa usual the speeches of M'Hugh, and Mr.

C. Graham, Keller committees have been organised, and several. hundred pounds subscribed, but the amount is small compared: witn ue number ot families distressed on account of the strike. Thw strike has interfered with emigration from Liverpool, bnt on Saturday the mmard steamer and tfie Allan steamer Samia sailed for Boston with about 2,000 passengers, many of whom had been detained in Liverpool a fortnight on account cf the derangement of Atlantic traffic. Tbe workmen engaged in the engineering trades of Sheffield are agitating for an increase of wages to tho extent of 2s.

per week. A lull meeting was held on Saturday, when it waa reported that two large firma had conceded the advance, that others were consider ing the matter, and that the smaller establishments would ioiiow tne lean oi us principal concerns ra tha district. The engineers' contend that not havin had an advance for 17 year they are entitled to make the present demsnd. Ther determined to hand in notices terminating on April 12, and whilst deprecating a strike, resolved io cease work if the necessity should arise. THE TORONTO UNIVERSITY FIRE.
