Their only hope of freedom Ilea iu escape, for they have been sentenced to exile in Siberia for the real ul their lives. As it happens, they will not bo sent to Siberia at present, for the reason ibai ilie government is Inis shipping troops and munitions of war to the Far East, and has neither railway trains nor guards lo spare for shipping prisoners over Us railway. So iliey will be sent to Archangel, on the Arctic Sea, lo spend the rest of their lives In almost eternal snowr, where the night is nearly six mouths it, s Asclteu-liri-niH'- ," lung. Them is in this city now an extraordinary woman, at whose feet the Russians almost worship. (She is lime. Katherine Rreschkovssy, who was for twenty-twyears a prisoner in Silieria on much the same charge aa that for which Vera Figner Buffered. She has lieen lecturing to her compatriot! on the object of her. heart, namely, the amelioration of the awful conditions that prevail In Russia. A WOMAN REFUGEKS STORY. Slme. Rreschkovsky la a noble-facesplendidly educated woman of aixty. hut her Sbe speaks n English, French has the purity of that which is sposeu in Tours, and In that language she lold of Vera Flgners and her own sufferings for the guud of their felkiwmea. We call ourselvea Revolutionaries, said .Mute. Breschkovsky, sitting in the library of Dr, Paul Kaplan, No. 2:i(i East Broadway, with Dr. Cbarlea tichitlovsk and Mr. Kinds left, both refugees from Siberia, listening re ipectfully to her. Nothing less than a revolution will make Russia fit to live in. We want a constitution and would he well content with one such aa England has, or even Germany, but we snow no such thing is possible and therefore we are frankly socialists and seek to obtain by revolution no other what we know can o to-dn- y way. But Vera Figner and the ulhera, who have just been released, were not so radical aa we an. You see It waa twenty years ago that they were arrested. What they asked then was merely a constitutional government, in which the people would have some say in their taxation. They did not seek to overthrow the Czar as we do. We, today, know that no czar can ameliorate matters, because no czar can ever know the true conditions. The czar la educated In ignorance of his people and throughout hla life he la surrounded by his ministers, the bureaucracy, the arm and all the official classes, which are barrier within barrier between him and the people. What sort of treatment baa Vera Figner had in prison? asked the World representative. Horrible, was the reply. It needs a strong heart and an iron constitution to withstand the terrors of solitary confinement. The cells are damp to a degree, the darkness scarcely permits you to read or write. The food la bad and the jailers cruel. Blen and women go mail and many die. The jailers treat us. not. as prisoners, but aa enemies, and they are very frank about It. It is a marvel that Vera Figner has survived And what will be her life In exile? Just stirh as mine was.' Political prisoners are not separated fiom criminals, and her companions will lie murderers and robbers. Women in Siberia have to sew clothes for the convicts, do menial work in the bouses of ihe officials, scrub prison floors, tin the vegetable gardens and so on. It is better bv fsr than the living death of ihe dungeon, but it is bad enough, for the terror of the Knout is ever over yu. Today the do not knout woi'.en. But they used to and I narrowly misled it once. I escaped but was recap tirnl and sentenced to 1 oily lashes, besides four years of hard labor. The governor of the province at the last moment forbade the at that time there knoutfng. fur was a terrible outcry against such cruelty being practiced upon women. ESCAPE HER ONLY HOPE." "Vein Figner s only hope now is in flight. This is nut so difficult now as a it was twenty years ago, for our has spread so far and so wide thst every little village throughout the length and breadth of Russia la full if sympathizers, every one of whom Is ready to aid an escaped political prisoner.

Thousands of men o;ni women are boiug sent into exile ii prison every year for the great cause of Russian freedom, and I must not shirk my duty. In this connection a remarkable article written by a refugee recently from tbe Russian iteital settlement of Sakhalien haa come Into tbe hands of The World. A a the life of one prisoner is abuut the same as that of another. U Is given herewith aa follows: f have just finished a sentence of tea years penal servitude on the Russian Island of - akhallcn, aixty miles off tbe north coast of Japan. In Sakhalleu the island itself was our prison. On the north we had th icy Gulf of Tartar, with the snowy wastes of Siberia beyond, and on the ihat the eye south, so far away them reach could scarcely even on a dear day, could be seen the Kurite Islands, Inhabited only by Japanese and Mougol fishermen, tu whom the life of a Russian prisoner would not. have been worth a yen. We were chained around the ankles chained mt short that, we could only walk with a sort of hitching half step, of the rhsins with the lashed to our waist belt tu keep them from dragging on ths ground. "The food wq good enough at first. Iliey gave us a quarter of a pound of meat per day or a pound of fish, with about a pint of soup and some bread. Home of iny companions were political prisoners. Moat of them were1 murderers. They looked it. At first had no iflty for them, but later when 1 saw them gashed with a knout and frozen in the logdragging my heart went out lo them. "There la no capital punishment In Russia for an ordinary murderer, but surely deal h would have been a lighter they punishment, than that which endured, They all wore long gray fell cloaks nearly touching the ground. I was in the murderers gang, t hough not murderer, ami we walked together with a Jangle, jangle at every step. I was chained with them immediately upon my arrival, after a two years' march across Siberia. In this march, ws rented in Hie winter, but in the summer uitr distance was twenty miles a day two days' walking and one day's rest. Only tha nt run gent survived, anil i was one of these. What of our wives lieytmd the Ural? What of our children and frlen.ls? Of these we never learned and altlmugh a free ntan, 1 have not yet been able to discover. The chains we wore were five pounds in weight, and in time we got used to the dank and weight of them and survival. and In the I waa thronged with a man named Barlnoff, a Danubian peasant a political prisoner and a murderer by means of bombs. We were as strong as bullocks, and heaved away at our work without word of complaint. One day we heard the cry of Smlrno! The governor was umlng.
