HIS HEAVY HAND.
RUSSIAN PEASANTS FEEL THE CZAR’S CRUELTY. Advices from St. Petersburg are to the effect that high Russian authorities view with unreserved disapproval the proposed presentation to the Czar of remonstrances from America and England against cruelties in Siberia, and that the remonstrants will meet with a snubbing similar to that with which like communications were received when the murderers of the late Emperor were reported to have been tortured in their cells. The Czar is said to bo in no humour for foreign advice or interference, and to be persistently bent on the reactionary policy which has so far characterised his reign. The striking feature of this policy at present is suspicion and repression, evidenced in the treatment of the lowest class of the population, whose general submissiveness had, up to this time, never been doubted, but who are now being made to feel in the harshest manner the band of imperial authority.
