Auti-JeWish Riots,

VIENNA, June 2.-Serious ant-Jewish
riots have again broken out. They were
renewed yesterday with increased violence.
The melting cause at the present time is the
excitement of the people growing out of the
election agitation. The Carmelite Platz
was filled with bowling mob and free
fights were frequent. The shops of the
Jews were raided and ruined and their own
ers violently assaulted. Not less than forty
persons were severely wounded The DO
lice made many arrests, still they wei Q DOW

Other riots of like violence and destruc-
tiveness have taken place in the Wieden
and Neubar districts. In these districts the
entire police force is on duty patrolling the
streets and preventing the gathering of

AS THAT what occurs is rarely expected,
30 what is expected rarely occurs. There
fore, it is not at all surprising that the funeral
of Victor Hugo in Paris yesterday was not
made the occasion either for riot or
revolution, though thousands of people in
and out of that city confidently believed
that the day would be marked by nothing less
than the former. But troops were on hand
to suppress any riotous demonstration; and,
in the presence of armed and authorized
force, red flags are as harmless in Paris as
in this country.

Friehtful Earthquake.

LONDON, June 2-Serinagur, near the
centre ofthe vale Of Cashmere, India, was the
scene of frightful earthquake on Sunday
last. The shocks, which occurred at inter-
vsls of ten minutes, were of great violence.
The greater part of the city was destroyed
and the cavalry barracks is mass OF ruins
Fifty persons are known to have been Kill
ed and hundreds of the injured have al
ready been taken from the general wreck.
The total loss of life or the number OF the
manned must remain unknown, tor some
DAYS. as many Of the Inhabitants still lie
buried in the ruins. When the shocks were
first felt and the people realized that they
were being subjected to the awful posslbi'i'
ties of au earthquake, the widest panic
seized them. Every one able to do 30 rush
ell from the trembling houses and fled to the
boats on the river and on the lakes, OF
sought the open country. The terrified In
habitants are now camped in the fields thai
surround the town. The whole locality
about Serinagur experienced the terri
bic earthquake shocks. The damage caus
ed throughout the vale is enormous. Inc
loss in cattle alone is very great. The at
frighted people seem to be utterly helpless
and succor is being sent them as rapidly a.
