The Buder gaolor now led the way to a row of cells, the smallest of which he posed, allowing the visitors to enter; and, as they did so, an unpleasant odour assailed their noses. It was a low-roofed, filthy den with a mad floor and little ventilation, there being only asuallgrat duirbole in the reof, and as a stream of light came through the open door, they saw two people sitting huddled together in a corner. They were the father and son who were doomed to death on the

Chong at once approached thom, at the same time asking in a tremulous voice whether they were well for at first they had not mored, and he was horror-stricken at the sight of their misery.

COUNT OKUMA AND FOREIGN LOANS.

Count Okuma, in an interview, said:-The maio reason for my objections to foreign loans just now is that the introduction of capital from abroad is likely to disturb the post-bellum finance.
