SIMM , Aug. in. Another Illustration of
tbo swift punishment whlob England Inflicts
upon those who vlolato her rights or Infringe-
upon her dignity In India , was given today
nt Mnntnurvhon two of tnis leaders of the
nnssacro of Urltlsh ofllclals In March last
met their demit tit the piles of the capital.
The two mon who were executed were mem
bers of ttic reigning family of Manlpur , but
neither their high position nor the appeals
for clemency that had been made for thorn
could save thorn from the vengeance of the
law. Both had appealed from the suntcnco
nf death that had boon imposed upon them by
the military court of Inquiry before which
they were tried , but tlio viceroy of India , the
marquis of Lansdown , had decided that the
Interests of Great Britain demanded that
thosu mon who had waged war against the
queen and abetted murder should die. They
were soldier * , but did not dlo a soldier's
death.
They were taken from their prison to the
gallows and hanged like ordinary murderers.
The principal victims of tod-iy's tragedy was
thesonaputty , or commandor-in-chiof of the
Manlpur army. IIo was a younger brother of
the rajah ol Mitnipur , and seine years ago
ho drove the r.ijah Into oxllo ana placnd an
other brother on the throne , who govorneil
Manlpur under the titln of jubrij or rodent.
It was the senaputly who instigated the mas
sacre of Chief Commissioner Qulnton. Polit
ical Agent Grimwood and the others who
lost their lives at the fatal durbar
held In Mnnlpur. The other victim was
the Tongal general who violated the Hag of
truce under which the [ englishmen were do-
coycd from the residency nt Manipur which
they hail so gallantly defended against over
whelming odds whoa attacked by the Mun-
ipuri aim who gayo the order to the native
executioner to strike thu hands und feet of
the British prisoners.
An immense ) crowd of natives wit
nessed the executions. There was no
sign ot any disturbance among tne
spectators. This was undoubtedly duo to
the fact that largo detachments of troops ,
both British and native , were present and
had any disorders occurred they were pre
pared to quell It In very short order.
The regent of Muuipur and the Prince
Angoa Senia whoso sentences of death wore
commuted by the viceroy to transportation
for llfo and the forfeiture of their property ,
will shortly bo taken from the country. H
has not yet boon publicly announced to which
of the Uritl'sh possessions they will be trans
ported.

Krrsli Instances < > ; ' Kussla's Intolerant
Hatred of the Jews.
LO.VPOX , Auff , ID. The work" entitled "In
Darkest Hussia" has met with a very good
sale and today the second edition was issuod.
The book is devoted to an expose of the
wrongs from which the Jo'vs in Hussia
suffer and the edition of today gives long
lists of fresh parsecutions to which Hebrews
in thai country have been subjected.
A vast mass of statistic. * Is presented to
provo that the statement alleged to have
been made by the czar that Jews were con
nected with dynamite outrages is unfoundod.
One instance of the intolerance of the czar Is
irlvon in the book , thu fauts concerning
which were received from a trustworthy
source. Her majesty , the czarina , in com
pany with the czar , some time since inspected
the troops forming the garrison at Moscow.
It is customary on such occasions to give the
soldiers a holiday after tno inspection is con
cluded. On the occasion referred to the
ofllcers of the various regiments were in
structed that no Jewish soldiers must
bo present at tno inspection. At the particu
lar request of the czarina some of the men
were confined to their barracks. Informing
them of the reason why they were not per
mitted to join tholr follow soldiers , their ofll-
cers told them that were offensive to her
majesty who should bo spared the sight of
them.
The book contains a letter from the duke of
Westminster saying that things In Kiissln
are going from oadtoworse. The Inhumanity
of the Kussiai ! olllcois , ho declared , is aston
ishing almost incredible. The czar , accord
ing to the snmo authority , renders himself
likely to bo placed in the catogorv
of rulers who , like Phillip II. of
Spain , clothed with irresponsible power ,
have used it , not for the happiness and ben
efit of their subjects but for their ruin. Such
rulers , the duke says , deserves the contempt
and lo : thiiii : of all that U best In the civilized
world.
One writer , a Jew , says that one of the
questions is the general outlook. Every
petty oflfcml assumes tbo right to treat them
as ho thinks fit. As an Illustration of this
misuse of power , ho instances the fact that
the police of LI ban recently issued an order
prohibiting the Jews from bathing in the sea
in the summer.
A. letter recoil cd from n gentleman in
Charlottcnburg , Germany , describing thu
condition of Jews who are fleeing from
Kussia says that refugees who have not suf-
llclent money to pay the full price of tickets
to America have received tickets from thu
Jewish emigration committee at less than

The evidence of Senator Robitaillisi -
dent of Ualo Des ChultMiros r.iilwavcd , > ,
was read to the foinmltieo on privilege ul
elections at the opening of the meotim s
morning. Senator Robitalllo sot forth ' .
early In the last session Robert McGioflvy
came to him and after asking if lie was on
good terms with the government nnd Sir
Hector Langcvln. showed htm certain docu
ments damaging to Hon. Thomas McGrcovy
which ho deal rod witness to lay before the
government.
Witness told him that this was it very seri
ous matter ; that ho ( 'I'hoinas McGroavv ) was
the family of DOVS who must be provided for ,
but Robert pleaded that ho nnd E. O.
Murphy of New I'ork fame , had fully con
sidered tbo matter and were determined to
goon. Wlluoss asked him , "then what ( to
you wantf Io you want the suit abandoned. '
Do you want money I
Robert McGreovy answered that lie did not
care about tbo lawsuit and did not want
money , but that Thomas should resign his
so.it . In parliament and on the harbor com
mission , "because , " ho sntil , " .so long ns ho
is there wo cannot got the contract. "
I said : "Even if you make him resign ho
will be returned aunln. " Robert answered :
"We will chock him at that. "
The result of tlio conversation was that ho
showed the paper to Sir Hector , McGreovy
and Sir John Macdonald , but they declined
to take action and bo communicated tlio fact
to Robert when ho came bacic to him.
Mr. Havies then resinned bis cross exam
ination of Sir Hcotor with respect to tbo tes
timonial. Sir Hector said bo old not want to
know iho names of contributors be
cause there was no doubt some of ( its
friends who subscribed wcuid have wished
to pay mnro if names nnd amounts were
mentioned. Ho did not wish them to bo em
barrassed. It was not because ho thought It
wrong to contribute to the fund. The fund
was raised openly In all parts of tbo domin
ion and them was to his mind nothing
wrong about it. Asked if ho had received
any money from Thomas McGreovy , ho1
said lie bad not , cither for his own or any
other election. No such money over passed
througn tils hands. As to his contribution
to LeMondo , lie never took any shares in the
paper and never had any interest in it except n
political ono. Ho hnd paid the money ns a
loan rather than ns a gift because ho wanted
to have some claim against the payer in case
U should turn against the party.
Tim matter of the Crosswall contract was
next tnl < en into consideration and Sir Hector
realllrmcd his statement already made that
the nature of the tenders bad not been com
municated to him when McGreovy wrote Iho
communication from Toronto.

PURE FOOD BILL WILL PASS ,
Senator Paddock Oonfulont of the Measure's
future Success ,
FARIOS GENERALLY FAVOR TIIE IDEA.

Senator Paddock arrived hi Washington
yesterday from the west ami sulil today that
ho would bring up the pure food bill as ono
of thu first mo.isuriis In the next congress
nnd ho had perfect confidence that It would
pass. Snnutor Paddock said tharthu success
which had attended thu new meat Inspection
law ami thu popular approval which It hud
ixveivoil from thu agricultural classes of the
country would bring such an Inlluenco to
bear upon the next congress as to secure iho
passage of the bill by a safe majority.
The senator is of the opinion that the farm
ers alliance representatives Mill voti ) as a
unite for the measure and ho expects u strong
Kiipport from the democratic side of the
liouso. In pict , he believes that every repre
sentative of an agricultural district will bo
Inlluoncod by his own constituents to vote
for the measure.
"Thu farmers huvo really always boon
heartily in favor of the pure food bill , " said
Hut senator. "They did not qiulu understand
thu meat Inspection bill , mid for that
reason were not so enthusiastic for
its becoming a law. Now that
It Is in successful operation 1
Ilnd the farmers generally are blulily pleased
with the result and are more than ever in
earnest in their demands for a \ mlood \ bill.
In the main the bill which 1 slu.lt introduce
will bothosami ! as the ono before thu last
congress. There may boa lew slight chances ,
such as the omission of a few minor articles
subject to label and inspection and the addi
tion of others which were not mentioned In
tbo last bill.
"U'o failed In the last congress for the rea
son that wo were being ground between the
upper and nether inillsloncs the force bill
and the appropriation bills. During the last
few days of thu session 1 made a strong
effort to put t'.io ' bill through thu sen
ate by a pleoo of strategy. I offered it ns
nn amendment to the agricultural appropria
tion bill , but Senator \Vuslilmrn killed my
amendment by submitting the Connor lard
bill in Its stead. Unrinir the diicus.sion over
this matter the chair Interposed the ruling
that my amendment was improper and not
genuine to tlio bill. I appealed from this
ruling to the senate and my appeal lacked
but a single vote of being sustained. Had It
carried , 1 have no doubt that the house would
have taken it up and passed it successfully. "
Senator Paddock Is of tbo opinion Hint
courtesy to the presidingolllcor and the press
ing Importance of the appropriation bills con
tributed > nore to the defeat of his measure
than the opposition to thu hill. Speaking of
probable legislation in lliu next con
gress looking to the relief of the
agricultural classes Senator Paddock
uUui t cil. It wuultl Inr Ulntwtilt f .
the next congress or any of Its successor * to
accomplish as much in thu way of special
legislation for the farmer as the lust congress
die ! . There were more special measures helpful -
ful to the agricultural clashes pushed by the
last congress , that by any of its predecessors
In tlio history of the country. Tliero was the
act placing the weather bureau under
iho supervision of the agricultural
department and the other legislation which
looked to the enlarging of the scope of usolul-
ness of this particular depiirtnient. Then
there was tlio inspector of meat and the
reciprocity ineasuroai which were more bonn-
licial to the farming classes than to any
oilier industry. Tliero was ul > .o the law
rjqulring . provisions for comfort
in iho transportation of animals
which were being shipped abroad ,
for the export Irado , which was n very hu
mane and beni'liclal measure us well ns the
law providing for the * Inspect ion of salted
meats , which carrlod'wltli it the retaliatory
clause , that lias contributed iiuiro than any
other one thing to basU'n Iho opening of the

were a few nf the leading niwHiirps passed ,
in say nothing of the general overhauling
and revision of the land laws which wuro
specially bcnollctal to the homoUcadurs ot
the west. "
The senator was asked In regard to the
strength of the farmers' alliance In Nebraska
and ttio reported war whlcn is being waged
against his re-election ana replied. ' ! am
not discussing the farmers' alliance nor my
luturo political prospects. In fact 1 may not
