What has long been considered even by government officials as a monstrous Judi cial wrong has In a measure been undone, though Its baneful consequences can never be made good in this world, as two of the victims are dead. Fifteen years ago six miners, were sentenced, at KsJon. to pcaal servitude for perjury, one,: t:ie ajcjsod, , a man named benroeder, had only a short j time previously been received as a mem-1 ber of the miners' deputation by the em porar. Ho had, however, joined a socialistic trade union, and became Its president. In this capacity, he attended at meeting which was being held in connection with the for mation of a Christian organization among the mineru of the district. He was, how ever, to'd that the gathering' was not pub lic, and ordered to leave. Aa be waa de manding hla penny back from the man at th door he was seise 1 by. a policeman named Munter, and flung to the ground. What appears, to have been a truthful account of the incident was published In the Socialist paper, and Munter prosecuted the editor for libel. What he said had hap pened was that he had accidentally brushed against tichroeder, and so caused him to fall. Alt Seat to Prison. , Ha called a number of witnesses who, 1 however, could say no more than that they had not seen Munter fling him down. On the other side were Schroeder and many witnesses, who concurred, exactly in their evidence. Schroeder and hla comrades were put on trial for perjury, convicted, and sentenced to terms of two and a half, three and three and a half years' penal servitude. The adltor was convicted, also. The six men, who had protested their innocence, served out their severe punish ments, and refused to sign an appeal for the remission of the whole or any part fit it. As soon as released they set to work to secure the reopening of the case. All these years they have been accumulating evidence to discredit the testimony of Mun ter, and at last they established ao over powering a case that tho higher courts or dered a retrial. It waa proven that Mun ter, who, like two of his victims. Is now dead, was a disreputable character, whose word waa not to be trusted, and sd what was the whole foundation on which the conviction had been based collapsed. When the time came for the crown coun sel to addreaa the Jury at the rehearing he astonished the court by announcing that he did not attach the slightest Importance to Munter's evidence, and, asking for an acquittal The Jury did not watte much time in acquiescing In hla demand. These deeply-wronged men will have to be satisfied with their moral clearance. There la no legal machinery for punishing tbera with pecuniary compensation for the In justices done to them and their families and their loss of wages for years. Paal Mincer Had Trouble. The lata Paul Singer, the socialist leader In Parliament, waa a prosperous business man when ha was elected to the municipal council twenty-seven yearB ago. Later he was elected to Parliament. ' In ISS8 he waa expelled from Berlin under the law against socialism. He gave up business altogether to devote himself to politics. Although the Berlin order of expulsion was repeated at Frankfort and at Offenbach, Singer' re mained a member of the Reichstag, of which, aa the president. In announcing hi. death, remarked ha waa one of the oldest members. He returned when - the law against socialism was dropped, and for twenty years he had controlled tha des tinies of tha socialist party, and was re sponsible In a high degree for Its ex traordinary expansion. He was an extreme radical, but a typical bourgeois, fearle. In strong meaaurea, and yet a cautious leader who achieved' not tha least of his successes by discipline, which made - him an unrivaled authority on Parliamentary procedure. Abuse, based largely on the fact that he remained "a man of property," did Dim llttla harm. Honor far a.

The recent declaration of Count von Arhnnthal that there was every reason to believe that all the questions which were dangerous to the peace cf Kurope wore elthr setth.d or were In a fair way of sef.U ment has caused more discussion In illplomatlc circles than anything of tha kind in rtctnt years.

". fio Dannter t'rum iuul.i. J That the relations with Russia are on al better footing than they have been for a long time Is doubtless true. --Count von Athrenlhal's statement was followed by a report in the chief clerical organ, the Yaterland. which Is known tJ be In close touctt with the highest court circles. This journal learns that negotiations for pro moting an understanding between Vienna and St. Petersburg are proceeding-, and as a consequence of these negotiations it Is expected that the csar, after having visited the kaiser In Germany next Bum mer, will urrange to meet the Emperor Francis Joseph at Ischl. This meeting, it I s added, was suggested by Kaiser William at the 1'oUclam Interview. In diplomatic circles opinion Inclines to the bedef that the Vaterland's information Is premature. A high official remarked to mo today that, as far aa the relations between Vienna and St. Petersburg were conoerned, the facta are that the coldness is beginning to disappear and that friendly relations are on' the point of being re stored. "Concrete negotiations concerning tha In terview between the Emperor Francis Jo seph ' and the csar," observed by Inform ant, 'haven't yet taken place. It is possi ble, however,, that, the hair-presumptive, th Archduke Franoia Ferdinand, may at some later date visit St. Petersburg." . , , . ' Tackling Hatpin Problem.

When ah ap peared ? before the' court the lady pro tested indignantly against the injustice that, in conrequence of a mere accident, she alone could be charged while nearly all women in Vienna Wore similarly long pins.'- She waa ordered to pay a flno of 60 cents or, In default, to go to prison for twelve hours.

The period haa Just expired Just now for notification of the proofs of the exlstenoe of "Johann Orth," the missing Archduke Johann Salvator, a distant cousin of the Emperor Francis Joseph. The archduke's legal representatives have filed an applica tion for his death to be officially recognised and for hla estate to be distributed accord ing to his will. It la nearly twenty-one years since tha archduke was seen alive. He was a man of most original and ardent character and came repeatedly in conflict with hi Im perial relativea. Finally on his marriag in London with Frauleln Stubel, a dancer of. the Vienna opera house, he forsook his rank and hla country and set out on a life of adventure under the nama of Johann Orth. With a cargo of cement he sailed from London to Buenos Alrea in a steamer called the Santa Margherlta. which he had pur chased.

A countess was mar ried early In life to a nobleman, hut on the cay after the wrddlnff Hhe left for Constantinople, and did net return till seven years later.

Wahl. have been the occasion of students' riots, so much so that 100 policemen had to expel the youth from the hall, where they had set up a bonfire that might have burnt down the buildings. The accusation against the professor seems to be that he is too strict, and the disorders commencea Wednesday last, when the students sud denly began to hoot and howl. He had to leave the chair, and the same scene was repeated next day. The students had brought mouth Birens, gongs and automo bile horns, which they let loose with a wild hubbub aa soon as the professor began hla lecture. M. Wahl retired, but the class became all tho noisier. The students piled up newspapers in the center of tho ball and set Are to them.

An Instance of this kind has Just occurred. There has been in session In St. Peters burg a great handicrafts congress, repre senting all sections of the empire.

After frultleBB endeav ors to trace her parents, rather than send her to an orphanage an employe suggested that every member of the staff should contribute towards her support. Tne sug gestion wss heartily approved and a sunt waa soon raised to enable Ludmlla to b well looked after. Since then an annual collection for her has been made, and U was decided that the surplus, after "paying for her support and education, should go towards a dowry until sho attains her ma jority. Ludmlla, who Is being educated at a boarding school In Mcac-ow, spends her holidays faking the line" at the homes of her -various benefactor, " who- range from the directors of the company' to firemen and signalmen.

The premier delivered a forcible speech in favor of the bill, declaring that tha re proaches leveled at Ruawta as the hot-bed of infectious diseases filled him with pain and shame.

The Duma accepted an equally sarcastic amend ment empowering the minister, if the canal ization be Incomplete when the term ex pires, to come to the Duma with the self same request which he has vainly made to day. This action Is causing a flutter ot excitement In parliamentary circles. Knalnnd Start Inquiry, .
