ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS Thomas Kimball Reminded of a Neg- lected Pledge. WEDS THE GIRL HE BETRAYED Arrest of John Nelson, Fugitive From Justice. GENERAL AND PERSONAL Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King street, Bell lephone 0. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., October 23, 1897. The trial of Thomas Kimball, the young man who was arrested in Washington for the Alexandria police a few days ago, upon a warrant sworn out by Miss Temple Jeffries, charging Kimball with having be- trayed her under promise of marriage, took place in the mayor's office at the station house last night at 8 o'clock. Upon the special request of the young lady, only those directly interested in the case and the newspaper men were admitted to the mayor's office. Young Kimball, who is only twenty-two years of age, was represented by Mr. John H. Green, while Mayor Simpson conducted the prosecution himself. After the wit- ne about ten in number, had been sworn, they were excluded from the room m the request of Mr. Green.

A large audience assembled in the Colum- Lia Theater yesterday afternoon to listen to a lecture by Prince Kropotkin, the Russian scientist, whose theme was Siberia. The lecture was given under the auspices of the National Geographic Society. The president of the society, Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard, presided and introduced the lecturer, and gave some interesting facts in connection with the varied career of the distinguished speaker. Mr. Hubbard said the Russian government was not pleased with the prince's ideas on social questions, and so he was placed in prison, but was allowed considerable liberty, and thus had access to the libraries of St. Petersburg and continued to prosecute his selentific studies. He escaped to France, where he was arrested at the instigation of the Russian government and confined in that country for three-years. He finally es- caped to England, where he has since made his home. An enthusiastic reception was accorded the prince as he stepped forward to de- liver his lecture. He spoke of the character of the inhabitants of Russia and Siberia, and gave many details, especially in re- gard to the people of the latter country. His descriptions of the sufferings of the political prisoners sent to Siberia were thrilling. He said that in the extreme north- eastern portion of Siberia, where the ther- mometer registers 65 and 75 degrees below zero, there ar2 a few scattered settlements, and it is here that the government of Rus- sia send its exiles. He said that in six weeks cf each year, the only time when the rivers and streams are open, the exile must get a supply of game and fish to sustain himself and family for the remainder of the year. The lecturer said an endowment for the establishment of the Siberian university had meen made by a rich Siberian merchant in his will, but it was twenty years before the Russian government would agree to have the provisions of this request carried out, as they considered it dangerous for the peasants to be educated. He thought what was needed in Siberia was technical knowledge, in order to develop the natural resources of the country. He spoke of the trans-Siberian railroad and traced the route on a large map which was suspended in view of the audience. In conclusion, the lecturer expressed the hope that some day Russia would emerge from despotic rule. He believed the gov- ernment could not withstand the pressure that would be brought to bear for higher civilization. — The Best Costs No More.
