The attention of Mr. Sergisus Stephinak, the Russian Liberal, was called to the fact that some had expreed doubt as to the authencity and trustworthiness of the recently pub lished4 accounts of outrages to which political prisoners in Siberia had been subjected. Air. Stephinak said that the main features of these accounts were rully corroborated by such portions of the official report compiled by the Russian government has been given the public. "It is almost impossible to exaggerate the suffering of political prisoners in Si beria," he said. He expressed the .convic tion that the agitation in American on be half of reforming the treatment of politi cal prisoners in Siberia can not fail to have its influence with the Russian officials from the czar down. He feels coufident that it will result in mitigating the severity of treatment which is now enforced against political exiles.

The Work of Organization Completed and the Prosram Outlined. fCopyrihtd 1890, Iy the New York Associated Pr$l BERLIN, March 15. The international labor conference assembled at 2 o'clock this afternoon in the famous congress hall of the chancellor's palace. The proceed ings were of the simplest cnaracter and were not attended by any ceremony. Alost of the delegates went to tiie palace on foot. An immense crowd outside of the palace watched the arrivals in sUence. It was noticed that the blinds of the hall were kept lowered as significant of the chancel lor's desire to keep the results of the sittings private for the present. Shortly before the time fixed for th con ference to open the emperor visited Prince Bismarck and had a long interview with the chancellor. Baron Yon Berlepsch, the Prussian miuister of commerce was sum moned to the conference and received in structions before going to the congress hall. The opening address to the dele gates had no distinctive characteristics. The delegates proceeded to elect officers. Baron Yon Berlepsch was chosen presi dent by acclamation, and Herr Magdeburg, Prussian under secretary of state for com merce, was mace vice president. An ad ministrative bureau was appointed-, con sisting of Fnrrst, French counselor of le gation; Dumame, secretarj of th French embassy Iwie, and Count You Arco Val ley, scretaiy of the German embassy at Paris The sittings will beein daily at 11 a. m.

ANIMAL N THE STAGE. 1 T- They Havej taken Part Iu Many Playa. "Mr. Dnrliuc's Performing Lions. The appearance of trained animals as act ors in. theatrical productions is anything but a novelty, yet somehow it generally proves to be a "card." Dozens of dramas depend, for some of tlieir most striking situations, on OX THE SEESAW. tho work of animals ranging in size from a dog to an elephant. In "Shenandoah" a horse dashes across the stage, supposed to b bearing Sheridan on his ride from Winches ter. This forms the climax of one of the acts, and generally arouses unbounded en thusiasm. In Neil Burgess' "County Fair," a horse race takes place on the stage. In Den Thompson's "Old Homestead," realism is added by the appearance of a yoke of oxen. In "Around the World in Eighty Days" a caravan of elephants marches ponderously across the stage. Frank Frayno's pieces are full of animals. J. K. Emmet hfcs several times introduced dogs into his plays. In "Kerry Gow" carrier pigeons bring news of the race. Tears ago, in "The Laplander,'' a thrilling situation was created by having a team of real reindeer, ostensibly running away from a pack of howling wolves, dash madly across the stage, dragging a sleigh. Everybody is familiar with tho dogs which add so much to Eliza's escape across tho ica bound river, in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," aud with the comicalities of the donkey in the same piece. There was hardly an animal not represented in the long procession which passed before Adam and Eve in the "Drama of Eden," recently produced in Paris. When "Rienzi" was brought out at tha Metropolitan opera' house in Now York a horse appeared on the stage in peculiarly try ing circumstances. There were fully 300 peo ple on one side, all singing in a mighty chorus. THE KJXG OF BEASTS IN HARNESS. On the other side was stationed a mammoth orchestra of brass instruments. Tho horse made his appearance between them aud went through his part, uuconfused by tho bustle and uproar. In "A Run of Luck," six Ken tucky thoroughbred,., all of undoubted pedi gree, took part, first in a fox hunt aud later in a running race. A paok of thirty fox hounds appeared also in the fox hunt. Theie are also many shows on the road which are hardly of tho circus order, but which consist entirely of trained animals. Soino years ago a troupe of educated horses was toured throughout America in a veritable equino drama, and similar enterprises have been carried out with dogs and monkeys as nctors. A company of trained cats was not long ago reported from Paris. Rut by far tho mast remarkable exhibition of animals is that afforded by Air. Darling (an American) and his educated lions at the Nouveau Cirque in Paris. These lions go through a really remarkable performance, sharing honors with a splendid and intelligent dog. They play at seesaw, ride velocipedes, are harnessed to a chariot in which they draw Afr. Darling about the stage with as great docility as would a team of aged donkeys. In all their stage work thoy are perfectly docilo and tractable. YOUNG ABRAHAM LINCOLN, Something About His Life &i.d His Strug gle Against Disease. Tho long struggle made for life by young Abraham Lincoln developed a sympathy for tho lad entirely outside of the interest felt in him as the grandson of the martyred presi dent and son of the Un.tcd States minister to England. The boy's seventeenth year opened with bright promise. His health was fairly good.and he showed many of tho per sonal qualities' of his noted grand father his meth ods of reasonmg, fe?". his droll humor, hu handwriting being ABRAHAM lincolx. noticeably like those of President Lincoln. He was unusu ally well advanced in study when taken ill, though not considered precocious, and had strong elements of personal popularity. Robert Lincoln married tho daughter of Senator James Harlan, of Iowa, and their on Abraham was born in Chicago early in 1673. He was given but the one namo. bnt a fort of reverential objection to its in miliar use grew up in the family and among f riuds, and still more to tho use of "Abe," so the loy was universally called Jack. He soon became quite a leader among the boys, and, scon af tor learning to read, showed a strong j preference for histories of the civil war. He studied out all the details of the principal ; campaigns with the aid of maps, and hu minute knowledge of Grant's Virr irna earn- ' paign was a surprise to all who talked with him. His first schooling was in Washington, while his father wa3 secretary of war for i Hayes but most of bis education was ob- : taioed in Caicago, where tbe family lived. !
