ALBANY, Nav 10. The Senatorial situa-
tion is unchanged The administration re-
pubicans are ready to 90 into an election to
fill the vacancies, but will have nothing to
do with any caucus. They feel perfectly
able to defeat the return of either Conkling
OF Plat. ualess the democrats go with the
other side. They will take the chances. be-
lieving if the democrats are with the Conk-
lingites, they will beat both at the polls next
fall. Conklingites strongly favor the going
into election as soon as possible. and say
that Conkling is out of the race, and that he
will rot be a candidate. The democrats are
opposed TO an election. claiming the ques-
ton should be left to the people to decide at
the next election. The probability is there
will be an election without any preliminary
caucus on the part of the republicans. Gov.

Podwalyska, on the Russian frontier. several
peasants were killed by the falling timbers.
Four grain warehouses and nearly all the
buildings around the railway station were
burned. All the stations around the South

burned. The Austrian frontier towns are
crowded with fugitives. At Odessa. plum
dering continued the entire day. Rich Jews
fed and the poor ones are in a pitable condi
ton. At kietf. the synagogue was broken
open and the congregation grossly maltreated.
The Jewish quarter of the town looks as if
il had been sacked bv Tartars.

A Rise Against the Jews.

LONDON, Nav 10. \ Vienna correspon-
dent of the Daily Times says; No doubt the
rising in Russia against the Jews is in conse-
quence of general discomfort of the peas
antry, and not of a religious animosity. The
Nihilists taking advantage of this discomfort,
incitc the peasants against the jews as a class.
thus profting by their misery. The real in
tentions of the Nihillsts is believed to be
to bring about conflict between the peo-
pie and the authorities, when the latter
should interfere to protect the Jews.
The Tunisian Treaty.
Paris, Nav 49, NJ. Jules Ferry read in
the Chamber of Deputies to-day the text of
the Tunisian treaty subject which has been
already published. He said that the treaty
would be of mutual benefit. The government
entertained nothing but friendly sentiments
towards the Bey, and was disposed to give
him fresh proof thereof in the event of his
being threatened in his legitimate authority
or independence. No doubt could exist in
the mind of Europe of the intentions OF
France. She should be content with the
treaty.

rHsY NEED LOOKING ArrKR

THsY NEED LOOKING AFTER.
The present condition OF the roadways and
footways In the public reservations have be-
come subject OF unfavorable comment. In
many places the roadways for carriage travel
are worn into deep ruts, forming pools of mud
and water, which, with loose stones promiScu-
ousy scattered about, make these roads as uu-
comfortable and untidy az county roads. The
drives through the Smithsonian, Agricultural
and Monument grounds are especially dilapt.
dated. Some OF these roads have become thor
oughfares for general travel, and heavily
loaded teams are constantly passing. III It IA
the intention Of the government authorities to
permit prOmfScuous travel through these reser-
Vations. paved carr1ageways should be- pro-
vided, the same as are laid In the streets In
many places, around curves especially. the
marks OF wheels are plainly seen on the grass
plats, forcing pedestrians to make pathways
on loI5dden ground: When these parks were
upenea Ior Vehlcles it was understood that only
light pleasure vehicles were to be admitted,
and LOT some time afterwards this rule was OBJ
serveo; but By degrees encroachments have
peen allowed, until all sorts OF heavy teams are
allowed TO be driven at large through them all.
