Truth from st. Petersburg says: jew bait
ing in southern Russia continues with all Its
vigor. The riots at Adzesso have been fol-
lowed by other riots at Simpherpool, and
now Nishni Novogorod has followed their
example The people, infuriated by some
alleged misdeeds of the Jews, attacked
their houses, threw their furniture into the
streets, abused the women, and chased the
terrified men through the thoroughfares
TIE Jews made for the headquarters OF the
military and the police They were followed
and intercepted, and all their appeals for
mercy were unavailing. When caught they
were beaten with sticks and struck
with stones In some cases they were
hanged to lamp posts. In others
they were kicked into the cutters and
left there to die. The people were frantic.
The police could not control them, and are
charged with not having seriously attempted
to do 80. The cause of the outbreak Is moi
yet fully known, but it is supposed to be
owing to the alleged habits of usury followed
by the Jews and general prejudice. There
were in all eleven Hebrews killed and forty
wounded. The people are still slaborins
under great excitement.

Indian members advocated the suppression OF
export and reduction of expenses from
S34, 0o0,oOo to S24, 00U, 900, and the early con-
cIusion Of the commercial treaty with
America, as the only means of extricatlng

There were certain pecnliarities about the

which caused suspicion in the mind of the
attending physician that his patient might be

four days with no signs of returning life the
remains were consigned to the grave, tempor-

which the city can be supplied with low pres

nothing but his life insurance. He had
