Two men could not stand sldo by sldo In tlio nar row spneo between tho edge of tho platform nnd tho wall, nnd tho occupants of tho cell were therefore compelled to sit or IIo nil day on tho plank units without occupation for either minds or bodies. No other reply w as inado to their otltlons nnd remonnlrnnces than a threat from Klinlturln that If thoy did not keep quiet thoy w otild bo flo; god. With n vlow to Intimidating thorn ICI ilturln oven sent n surgeon to mnko a physical examina tion ot ono political, tor tho avowed purposo of ascertaining whothor his statoof health was such thnt ho could bo (logged without endangering his life. Tills was tho Inst strnw. Tho wretched state criminals, deprived of oxcrclso, living under "dungeon conditions," poisoned by nlr laden with tlio stanch of oxcromont buckets, nml finally threatened with tho whip w hen thoy complained, could enduro no more. They resolved to mnko thnt last descrato protest ngnluat cruelty, which Is known in llusslnu prisons nn n "golodof ka," or "hunger strike." Thoy sont n notification to MaJ. Klinlturln thnt their llfo had finally bocotno unendurable, that they proferred death to such an existence, and Hint they should re fuse to tako food until thoy cither porlshed or forced tho government to treat them with more humanity, Nontteutlon was paid to their notification, but from that moment not a mouthful of tho food thnt was et luto their colls was touch ed. As dny after day jmxsod tho stillness of death gradually settled down upon tho pris on. Tho starving convicts, too weak aud apathetic oven to talk to ono another, Iny In rows, llko dead men, upon tho plank sleeping platforms, and tho only sounds to bo hoard In tho building wore tho footsteps of tho sen tries, nnd now nnd then tho incoherent mut tering of tho insane. On tho fifth day of tho "golodofkn" MaJ. Klinlturln, convinced that tho hunger striko was serious, camo to tho prison ami asked tho convicts to stato definitely upon what tern tlioy would dlscontlnuo their protest. Thoy r piled that tho conditions of their llfo wcr unbearablo, and that thoy should continue, their self starvation until tho excrement buckots wero taken out of their cells; until thoy were permitted to haro books nnd to oxorclso dally lu tho open air; until thoy wore allowed to direct tho expondlturo of their monoy for better food and Iwtter cloth ing than they wero furnished by tho govern ment, ami until ho (Klinlturln) gnvo them a solemn assurance that nono of thorn should bo flogged, Tho commandant told them that tho talk about flogging was nonsense; that there never bad been aTiy serious Intention of ro sortlng to tho whip, uud thnt, If they would end their striko, ho would seo what could bo douo to luiprovo tho material conditions of tholr life. Not being nblo to get any positive auruucM that their demands would bo com piled with, tho prisoners continued tho "golo dofkn," On tho tenth day tho stato of affairs had Iwcomo alarming. All of tho stnr lug men wero in the Inst stages of physical prostia tiou, nnd Homo of them seemed to Im near death. Count Dmitri Tolstoi, tho minister of tho Interior, who bad been apprised of tho situation, telegraphed tho commandant to keep n "skoi liuol leest,Mor "hospital sheet," sotting forth tho symptoms aud conditions of tho striken, nnd to Inform him promptly of any marked chnngo. Every day thereafter a foldsher, or hospital stoward, went through tho cells taking tho pulso ami tho tempcraturo of tho starving men. On tho thirteenth day of tho "golodofka" MaJ. Klinlturln sent word to tho wives of nil political convicts living In the Lower Dig gings that thoy might haro an Intorvlow with their husband tho first In inoro than twq months If thoy would try to jiersundo thorn to begin taking food. Thoy gladly assented, of courso, to tills condltlou, aud woro ad mitted to tho prison. At tho snmo tlmo Klinl turln went hlmsolf to tho starving men aud assured them, on his honor, that If they would end tho hunger strtko ho would do everything In bis power to satisfy their do inniids. Tlio cntrvatlea of tho wretched, heart broken women and tho promises of tho commandant finally broko down tho resolu tion of tho politicals, aud on tho thlrteouth day tho first nnd most obstinate hunger striko In tho history of tho Kara political prison came to an end.
