Harbin, Aug. 7.
Last evening the Mukden Counter-Espionage Organization of Harbin issued an order for the arrest of the editor of the "Vovozté Zhizni," the apparent reason being the publication of revolting information, furnished by Representative Per, concerning the third degree torture administered to two Russians in the prison at Fuchiatien, whom this organization arrested for reasons not given.
The same organization, three days previously, arrested the Chinese Procurator of the local courts, being dissatisfied at his releasing a Russian whom they had charged. Though he has since been released, the Court officials have struck work as a protest against such unlawinl procedure.
Recent numerous provocatory acts of the Mukden Organization, which employs Russian agents provocatewrs, are causing great con-stomation locally and the utmost publicity is being urged.
