AWFUL ATROCITIES
Fiendish Work of the Polish
Rioters at LOdz.
HEBREWS KILLED IN COLD BLOOD
Their oorpses Mu.ila.ed by the Drink
Maddened Strikers.

Police PowsrIess Against the Mob-More
Than n Residents of the Town
Severely Hurt-The Place Narrowly Es-
capped Reing Burnt Up-Cossaoks Sent to
Preserve Order Made No Attempt to
stop the Slaughter.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 12-The latest
dispatches from LODI, the manufac-
turing town in Poland where the strike
riots are raging, say that the strikers,
besides looting and demolishing valua-
BILE property, set fire to the buildings,
and that only the zeal of the fire brig
AIDES prevented the whole town from be-
ing burned to the ground,
The united forces of the military and
police were powerless against the mob.
Manufacturers, booKkeepers and jew
ish residents were felled and stabbed,
some killed outright and a hundred bad
ly injured.
During the zeal of the rioting a Jew
had been beaten and stabbed and flung
to the ground, aud was in imminent
danger of having the life crushed out of
him. A policeman forced his way
through the maddened crowd and at
tempted to save the man from their fury.
He succeeded in lifting the Jews bleed
ing form and with his arms about him
tried to shield him, but the mob closed
in and the Jew was beaten to death
with clubs as he chung to the officer.
The rioters were not content to muir
der their victims, but mutilated the
corpses in a horrible manner
The Cossacks and other soldiers VIII o
were sent to LODI appeared to take de-
| light in the scenes of blood, and took no
trouble to avert the terrible fate of the
Jews. The rioters were maddened with
drink.
The newspapers do not contain a word
in reference to the riots on account Of
the strict press censorship.
Alarge force of soldiers have been de-
tailed for duty in LODI, and the proprie
tors of hotels and factories will have tC
pay heavily for military protection.
The Cossacks WELD knouts with iron
balls attached, and in suppressing the
disorders are causing bloodshed every
where. Hundreds of the strikers have
been imprisoned in the citadel.
General Gourko, Governor of War
saw, which is rs miles from LODI, wiret
orders to the soldiers to take the mos
stringent measures, and added: Don
spare your cartridges"
1t is thought that the rioting was du
to Socialistic agitation, and, acting upol
this belief, the authorities ave expelle'
800 foreign workmen from LODI. Fort.
of the leading rioters, including a mum
Der of the Socialist agitators, have beei
sentenced to long terms in prison.

China WIN Go slow.


WASHINGTON, May l2.-The Chinese
Minister has received two ~cablegrams
from his government since he Informed
the Prime Minister of the passage of the
Exclusion act. The last n was re-
ceived yesterday and advised a further
consultation with the State Department
before any action is taken by the Chi
nese government in the matter. Inc
Chinese government takes the stand that
the act just passed is a law and not a
treaty, and that any government has
a right to enact laws, aud therefore ii
must be fully investigated on all sides
before it is acted upon.

A GOOD MOVE.

The Wilkes-Ba Barre Record claims
that the increased prices received for
anthracite coal in the New York and
New England markets permits the
Reading road to reduce its tolls ten
cents a ton to the furnace. mill and
manufacturing men along its lines in
this state and New Jersey. Some
time ago the southern railroads made
q reduction of 81 a ton in their tolls Oh
the pig iron produced in Alabama and
other states below the Mason saand
Dixon line since which time iron has
been coming north in great quantities
much to the detrimeut of the Penn"
svlvania product. The reduction OF
the Reading tolls will tend to check
this free competition thus giving our
iron men an opportunity to hold.their
old customers who have been leaving
them of late so rapidly
As every one must know, the pros
perity of Eastern Pennsylvania de-
pends largely upon the iron industries
for when they languish the coal mines
and factories also languish, ard when
they are busy and prosperous their
stimulating influence helps the
collieries and manufacturing plants
The competition of cheap southern
iron has long been felt in this section
and with tolls kept at the old figure
the eastern furnaces were Handicapped
and their owners discouraged. The
reduction in freights to them is there
fore a step in the right direction ano
its benehcent influences will soon bt
felt. The advance in the price o
anthracite in New York, New Eng
land and the West somewhere in JUS
proportion to their location lroii 'u'
mines is manifestly right and proper
lust as selling fuel to the home marke
at an advance over what was realized
bv fierce competition at distant point
was mauifestly wrong and improper
President Mcleod is showing ever!
day that he understands the coal trad
and knows what is necessary for IL
prosperity. After a while we shall Sc
that he appreciates the condition o
the miner also and will improve it jus
as he has improved the prospects O
the iron people.

THERE was once a question as to
whether the "Higgins" appointed by
the mass meeting in sRobbins, opera
house was Hon. II. j. Higgins or Tax
Collector Higgins. The Joint Com
mittee decided that the latter was the
mar appointed. When figures on the
cost of works were called for T. j.
Higgins said 500, 900. Tax Collector
Higgins said $4,000. The borough
election proclamation calls for a vote
for an increase of sos 900. Surely this
is a v~indication for T. j. Higgins.

BlMgTALLlc CONFERENCE.
England Accepts the Invitation rendered
BY the United states.

Ehklbhu bBth Abo
by the United states.
LONDON, May 12.-England has &C
cepted the invitation of the United
States to a bimetallic conference.
The Marquis of Salisbury, the Chan
cellor of the EXchequer and the First
Lord of the Treasury yesterday received
a deputation representing the various
Chambers of Commerce and Agriculture,
the labor organizations, the leading
manufacturing Industries, and the rep
resentatives of the financial and com
mercial interests in the city of London.
One object of the ~deputation was to
urge on the government the necessity OF
promoting an international agreement
among the chief commercial nations
to open their mints to the unrestricted
coinage of gold and silver at a common
ratio.
The deputation laid emphasis on the
losses and embarrassments to trade
caused by the violent fluctuations and
the great uncertainty in the exchange
with the silver-using countries.
The Chancellor OF the Exchequer, Mr..
Goschen, requested Lord Salisbury to
reply in behalf of the Government.
Lord Salisbury said that the Govern
ment had received on Monday the invi-
taUion from America TO a conference,
and had decided to accept.
1t seemed by the form of the invitation
that America decided to make it easy
for as many nations IS possible to as
semble and discuss the question.
The Government, in accepting the In
vitation, had been guided to a great ex'
tent by the deep interest in the
silver question by such large industries
as the Populations represented, and at
the same time had not been able to ex'
clude from consideration The views and
wishes of India.
