Then the general made them each in suc- cession take hold of the wire at both ends of an electric battery in full opera- tion, after which he exclaimed : “1 command you to let go the wire!” “I can’t; my hands are benumbed!” cried each Indian. The battery was then stopped. Not long after the general restored them to / iberty, givi keep th countrymen. This had the desired effect, for, as t be expected, the experience was related in the strictest confidence to every man in the tribe, and the tele- graph has ever since remained unmo- lested. them strict injunctions to Society in Sibert “My experience in Siberia was a pleas- | ant and most interesting one. The peo- ple there and the c to be on excellent terms other. Almost every person I met was either a political exile, a time expired criminal, or a descendant of one. Most of the officials are made up from the , lat- ter class, time expired criminals not being barred from holding office. The dir x of the prison at Yeneseik isa political exile. and the convicts in this country in many cases are worse off than the exiles ina Siberian town. In the larger towns of Siberia life is not so dull. There are excellent clubs and hotels which political exiles and even criminals are allowed to use. When I was at Ye- aiseisk there was a Russian theatrical company performing at one of the thea- ters, andeverybody -as permitted to go to the show, which wasagoodone. When balls are given at clubs or hotels the ex- les may take their wives and daughters to dance, t e not allowed on the ball- room floor themselves. There is a great deal more of complaint out of Siberia about the tyranny of officials than there is inside it, and the average notions about life in Siberia seem to me to be the out- ome of entire ignorance.—Interview in Chicago Tribune. with one an- The Whirligig of Time.
