traordinary progress In the provinces Of

of considerable power as speaker, but
who was at one time confined in q lu-
natic asylum. He was arrested some
time ago and sent 10 Tanscaucasia. but
his followers are most energetic apostles
and continue to pgpragate Kondratism.
Their principle tenet Is that all men
are as Christ was, and in exactly the
same way sons of God when they have
been touched by the Spirit. The plain
est facts and statements in Scriptu5e'are
interpreted in mystical spirit. ! There
is also tendency to free love ampng
them, but as the last statement is youch-
ed for, only by the Russian clergy Il may
have no foundation. The Kondratiyts

New York, Aug. 1.-THE fermenting
unrestof the unemployed in this city
has at length burst its bonds. and on
the east side today there was an explo.
sion. A riotous mob, possessed them
selves of property which they had no
money to hire and to which they had
been forbidden entrance by the owners.
There is in the city tonight no panic of
fear among the people, because absolute
confidence is reposed in the power of
the police to quell the restless elements.
A crowd OF more than 5000 unem-
ployed men attacked the Walhalla hall
today because admittance was denied
them. They smashed the plate glass
windows to atoms, forced in the door
which had been locked against them,
and forcibly took possession of the place.
Several persons were cut by falling
glass. All sorts of missiles were used
and finally the police reserves
had to be summoned from the Eldridge-
street station. After vigorous tussle,
in which clubs were freely used, they
succeeded in clearing the hall and dis
pefsiDg the riotous sseemblage, making
a number of arrests of the ringleaders.
The rioters were mostly Poles and
Russians, largely from the clothing
workers' unions. Several we'll known
agitators were on hand. including Joseph
Barondess, commonly known a. the king
of the cloak-maksrs. Barondess called |
upon the mayor this afternoon and se-
cured permit to hold open-air meetings |
of workmen in Union square twice a
week, on condition that he notify the |
police, so full force could be present to
preserve order.
