INHUMAN TREATMENT
PRISONERS FLOGGED IN RUSSIA.
By Cable —Press Association—Copyright. St. Petersburg, December IS. Political convicts at Volagda gaol, who complained of the food, were flogged, and many afterwards committed suicide. The Duma, by 121 votes to 111, refused urgency to an interpellation on the charge that the Government was taking a brutal revenge on its political adversaries, disgracing not only Russia, but the very name of man. It is alleged that the prisoners in Siberia intended to poison the officials, and had also received money, whereupon communication with the outer world was stopped, causing outbreaks and repressions.
