RUSSIA'S DISGRACE.
Jewish Massacre Horrors at
 Kishineff Related.
UNSPEAKABLY CRUEL TO HEBREWS
Women and Even Children Received No Mercy at the Hands 06 a Fanatic Mob of
 MOujiks.

KISHINEFF, Bessarabia, Southern Russia, May 16.-A detailed story of brutality shown in the massacre of the Jews in this city have been furnished by pr. Doroschewski, head physician sian, anti-Hebrew in sentiment. He says: .., ..
 Tt is impossible to relate to you all that has transpired at the massacre of Kishineff. The entire affair might be compared to the outbreak of a volcano pouring down lava. The frightened women and children hid themselves in cellars and garrets, but even there the mob searched them out. Women were dragged by their hair and their heads crushed against the stone walls.
 "Sura Fonarschi, Jewess, was brought here with two nails seven inches long driven into her brain. She died.
 cone Jew who was brought in had one hip and both ankles and wrists broken, his severed hands and feet dangling by the skin.
 "Forty- were killed on the spot, eighty died of their injuries and 300 are under treatment. Many will be cripples for life"
 Correspondents of the St. Petersburg papers here say that the massacre was organized and abetted by the Russian authorities. For some days before the Russian Easter the air was thick with rumors of coming attacks on the Jews. The Bessarabetz, an anti-Semite pa per, daily melted the populace to out rage. The Jews in terror asked protec- ton from the authorities, but were told to go home and nothing would be- fall them. The vice governor refused to interfere with the publication of the Bessarabetz. All the authorities did was to inaugurate campaign of ex pulsion of the Jews from the villages in Bessarabia, on the ground that they had no right to live there.

 "And these apples" said the cus- toner, "now are these sweet, Mrs. Molloy?"

Luncheon was served, and the party then proceeded to the big trees The ride from Raymond was dusty one, and the members of the par ty presented bedraggled appearance as the coaches drove up to the station.
 At Grub Gulch the president was pre- scented with flowers by number of lit tie girls. He alighted from the stage and shook hands with his small admir- CTS and, spoke few words of greeting to the grown folks assembled there.
 After partaking of luncheon the pres ident began to ascend the mountains. The day was perfect, bright and clear, and as he went higher and higher he saw the plains of the San Joaquin stretching to the far distant Coast range. He arrived at the entrance of the Mariposa big tree grove late in the afternoon, where he was met by de- tachment of horse and two forest ran gers with two saddle horses. The presi- dent rode among the grand Sequoias and through the park on horseback, &C., companied by John Muir, who Is fa- miliar with the big tree country and the Yosemite National park.

THE PITTsBURG TRoLLEYMEN.

Tn 1894, under the distressed busi- ness conditions then prevailing, a uni versal reduction of wages was sus- tained by wage earners, and many were forced into short time and idle ness. Street railway employees were affected and general reduction came. The Citizens men were reduced z per cent, while the men of the other lines were reduced 12 per cent. The dis crimination in reduction was due to the fact that the proposition of de- crease on the Citizens line resulted from conciliation between the company and the employees. The men on the other lines were unorganized and there fore were subject to the pleasure of the company, and thus sustained greater reduction.
 In 1896 new lines had come into ex- istence and were rated in hours and wages less to the advantage of em- ployes than the old companies. Also consolidation was effected and the management of large traction sys- them was assumed by the Consolidated Traction Go. This evidently was the apprehended change of management that the employees feared. The Conso1- dated introduced long hours and small wages. This was expected by the men and caused them to enter the labor organization. Committees were sent to the company for redress, but were turned down and discharged. The Consolidated Go had installed as gen. eraI manager a man who had previ- ously managed unorganized roads in Allegheny, and he had simply intro- duced the system under which he had been operating, and was insistent that the new order of things should be main- tained on the Consolidated system
 Again. he was an uncompromising foe to organization among his men. This arbitrary demeanor was resented by the employees, and an emphatic appeal wsaA saade to the president of the com

 ALBANY, N.

The governor signed the state barber examining bill, reversing his judgment of few days ago. This practically completes a larger chain, of labor bills signed by Governor Odell than ever signed by any previous governor. #.a.
 The governor signed the Bailey bill regulating the speed of automobiles at various speeds in various localities and compelling the issue of license by the secretary of state. This bill is the one at first approved by the automobile interests and afterward repudiated by them. The governor approves it in the interest of the general public, not automobile owners. The governor also approved the bill of Assemblyman Morgan to extend the life of the com mission to examine into delays in the administration of justice in New York city.
