Vol. 20. Boston, June, 1887. No. 1. I I THE CONVICT TRAIN. From The Midnight Sun: The Tzar and the Nihilist, published by D. LOTHROP & Co., Boston. EXILES TO SIBERIA. In a report prepared for the ministerial com- mission, which is now considering the project of diverting the transportation of Russian convicts from Siberia to the island of Shghalien and districts in the trans-Caucassian and Central Asian frontier provinces, the inspector of the Tiumen-Atckinsk route to Siberia states that during the decade 1876-86, 218,578 prisoners passed along that highway. Of this number, no less than 2,867 died on the way. The report furnishes no record of the probably larger num- ber who perished on the latter part of the jour- ney. It is also silent as to the causes of the 2,867 deaths between Tiumen and Atchinsk. - Odessa Cor. London News.
