assembled in the house of one. Monastyrer and there awaited events. Presently there came an officer and ordered the four men who had been selected to go first, to follow him to the police station. They refused Next came the chief of the palice with a few soldiers, and made as if he would take the four by force. On this, all the others declared with one accord that rather than let their comrades ga-save under the old conditions-they would resist by force any attempt to take them away, and when three soldiers entered the room a few of the exiles, who had revolvern, fired several shots. Nobody was hurt, but the soldiers withdrew-only, however, to, return presently with fifty men headed by the Vice-Governor lu person,, who exhorted the rebels to lay down their arms, consisting of five revolvers, and submit. When they declined he used abusive language. The exiles answered with pistol shots, and General Osinshkin ordered the troops to take the house at the point of the bayonet.

Then fall wed n short, fierce, and unequal conflict. One of the assailants was killed; two, (one of them an officer) were wounded. But what could forty exiles-a third of whom were women and children-arred with five revolvers. and short of cartridges, do against fifty soldiers, armed with bayonets and Berdan rifles? One exile, followed by a wommn-Sophie Gurevich made a sortie, pistol in hand, and tried to reach the general. The man was cut down and the woman killed with bayonet thrusts. In all, eight of the exiles were killed and eight wounded, four dangerously. The remaining twenty-four were led to prison and there left to await their trial.

They will doubtless be dealt with according to military law, and some of them sent to join their comrades who were killed in the fight..

The rebels knew quite well what they had to. expect. They could be under no illusion as to their most desperate enterprise. Their rebellion was of a piece with the sell-starvation of prisoners the hunger strikes-so frequent in Russian "They deliberately jails and Siberian mines. courted death in the hope that the attention of Russia and the world might thereby be directed to the unendurable sufferings of administration exiles in Siberia-educated men and women, be is remembered-who, though they have com- mitted no offense against the law, have been exiled by a mere order of the Administration, and who number among them girls of 16, like the sister of the murdered Sophie Gurevich,

Bangkok Hospital,) having obtained permission from H. . Phya Pachado, who was in charge of the execution, ascertained that the pulse of the criminal was then quite normal, and so it continued to be until a moment or two before the decmpilation. Meanwhile the temporary altar was being made the repository of the swords of the executioner's sinft, to the umber of fully sixteen weapons of various makes, and one special weapon adorned as to its handle with a carved head, and the purpose of which will appear hereafter. The swords proper were placed on the super-altar, all in order, the special weapon, a short thick sharp cleaver, on the lower altar. The whole altar was then crowded with offerings, in the shape of cooked (boiled) pigs' heads, fowls, plantains, limes, cocoanus, custard apples, cakes, chutney, spices, Samishu, and other neticles; what could not be placed on the altar being arranged on the ground on palm leaves before it. Under the altar itself was placed some four or five palm leaves, and the executioner who was to act, kneeling in front of the altar, bowed several times before it, touching the ground with his forehead each time, and then continued in devotion for quite a space. Rice was then strewed in the neighbouring bu hes by the attendants, and the executioner then placed a portion of the offerings (pieces from the noses of the pig's head, rice &c.) on the palm leaves under the altar, which were to be used by the prisoner to sit upon when under going the fatal blow. These and all upon the altar, swords included, were then plentifully be sprinkled by special attendant with water or something like it, and then each sword, being reverently taken off the altar by this person, was carefully anointed by him and handed to the parties to whom they belonged among the executioner's staff, care being taken to enclose each sword in its separate sheath without touching the blade by the hand, or disturbing the anointing. The executioner in chief, who was distinguished from the others by his white gold fringed drawers under his panony, the others wearing red ones, then arrayed himself in his red vest, and bound his forehead with a red sash, all the staff doing likewise. The criminal then was placed in a central position, seated on the palm leaves, the stock and neck chains removed, and his elbows secured to a short bamboo post placed in the ground behind him, which, by the bye, had also been under the altar during the preparatory ceremonies there. The executioner then talked with the criminal, apparently asking forgiveness, as the prisoner nodded and spoke arsent to what had been said. The special allendant, acting somewhat in the capacity of a priest, with the executioner, marked out a line which was casily recognizable, on the neck of the prisoner, and continued to talk in an apparently consolatory strain while the ear orifices of the prisoner were quietly closed with clay. Dr. Hays at this time also felt and counted the pulse of the doomed man, but even then it only registered 102, The religious ceremonies were still kept on, burning tapers and joss sticks being placed in the hands of the prisoner and then set upright in the ground before him. While the executioner retired and, near the altar, began again to engage in religious exercises, the special attendant gently stroked the head and face of the prisoner, whose lips moved as if in prayer, and after leaving him so engaged, with head bowed down and hands clasped, arose and gave a signal to the executioner by waving his hat. The minister of the law then with stately tread came from near the altar behind the prisoner, and while a solemn hush fell on all around, he drew never and nearer to the doomed man. The executioner, himself is about the medium size perhaps some 50 years of years, but quick and active in movement, with a face which rather betokens benevolence and deep religious feeling than aught else. A look of determination and stern sense of duty was on his face as he approached the criminal, and before the latter could possibly be aware, with a Kingle sweep of the sword in his right hand he severed the spinal coluion and the whole neck with the exception of a small portion of skin under the chin, which be afterwards cut with his sword. Eleven seconds after the blow was given Dr. T. Hayward Hays felt the pulse of the headless body, and ascertained that the radial pulse ceased to beat in 22 seconds, the dorsal in 43 after he had begun to count, or in all 33 and 54 seconds respectively. The head of the criminal was exposed then for a short time on a pole while the irons were being removed ark, Novizky ordered Maisner to be put into from the legs of the body by cutting off the heels with the special weapon spoken of previously. It lacked but two minutes to B 30'A M. when the fatal stroke was given, and at 8.15 the body had been doubled in the grave, the heed thrown in, and covered with earth, and all traces of the recent event removed. For rapidity of execution, painlessness, solemnity, decorum, and all the requirements of justice it is very evident that Siam is infinitely far ahead of most Eastern nations, if not of Western ones (and even this is open to serious question) in its method of inflict ing and carrying out a sentence of capital punishment.

SIPERIAN EXILES.“

The following interesting letter is from the pen of Mr. William Nestall, the special corres pondent of the San Francisco Chronicle:— :

News from Siberia comes slowly, especially when it has to come underground and evade the vigilance of the police. It is only within the last few days that certain exiles living in Londos have received particulars of the tragic events which occurred on the 21st of last March at the town of Yakutsk, in Eastern Siberia.

Early in that month General Osteshkin, Vico. Governor of the province, ordered that forty political exiles then under surveillance in the town should be sent some to Verchoyani, others to Gredne Kolyusk, two towns farther north, These exiles were to go in batches of four, each batch under the escort of four Cossacks, so that in every party there would be eight individuals. This was contrary to the usual custom, for in that byperborean region movement is so difficult and food so scarce that traveling parties a

almost always limited to four persons, who

Through a still more distant part of Asiatic Russia, the island of Sighalien, comes a letter which has been longer on the way than that from Yakutsk. The journeying thence outward to Western Europe is an affair of many months under the most favorable ci.cumstances, and the imperial Post-office is not open to the prisoners of the Car. The following is a literal translation of the letter:--

',

"Saghalien; October, 1888,

"On July 6th our comrade, Vardy Volnor (a political exile), while going quietly to his work, was met by a man in plain clothes, about whom there was nothing to show that he held uny official position. Therefore Volnor took no notice of him that is to say, he did not doff his

hat.

#Stop | Who are you?' shouted the stranger. Volnot

What is that to you ?' asked and answered

A great deal. You are an exile, I suppose ? "'Yes.'

Volnor a box on the car. Volnor returned the On this the stranger, without more ado, gave blow with interest, whereupon the stranger called on some soldiers who were by to take the exile

into custody..

"The stranger proved to be a man in authority Kamenschikov, superintendent of the Central Commissariat depot.

1877 General Tepot logged Blogolot and was shot for his print by Vera Garsulitch, and the Jury by which she was tried returned a verdict of not guilty. This incident led to the abolition of trin by jury for political offenders, and until this dogging at Saghalien, political prisoners have been exempt from corporal punishment.

This, fuo, at a time when the Russian revoli has all bet renounced the system of attacking the persons of officers of the Government in favor of a peaceful propaganda. Îi seems as if the Government were doing its utmost to rekindle the wild spirit of revenge and provoke its victions to sanguinary reprisals. It is sowing the whirlwind and sooner or later must reap the storm:
