London, May 15.-The victims in the
Kishineff massacre number 1000 ac-
cording to the latest information re-
ceived by the Jewish Chronicle of Lon
don. OF these at least 65 We're killed
and more than 800 MANNED or crippled
for life. The damage to property is
estimated at about $4,000.
The Jewish Chronicle says: "We
charge the Russian governments with
the responsibility for the Kishineff
massacre. If Europe does not on the
present occasion associate itself from
the leprous faint of this barbarian
power it writes it's humanity down as
a sham and it's civilization as organ
lied hypocrisy.
"The massacre was organized and
abetted by Russian authorities. The
killing and pillaging were done under
cover of the troops and the police.
During the two days the massacre
lasted the governor did not leave his
house. Telegraphic communication
with st. Petersburg was stopped"

BIG FIGHT BEGUN.
Movement Started by Retail Grocers
to Boycott Goods Sold In De-
pnrtment Stores.

Milwaukee, May 15.-A Commercial
war which, it is said, will extend
throughout the country, has been
started by the grocers of this city
against manufacturers who allow
their goods to be sold or demonstrated
in department stores. The Retail Gro
GERS association of Milwaukee, a mem
Der of the national association, has
passed resolutions not to handle prod
ucts of manufacturers that are placed
in department stores.
Henry w. Schwab, president of the
Milwaukee Retail Grocers' association,
says the action is the beginning of an
open warfare against department
stores of the country that enter into
competition with the retail grocers by
conducting grocery departments. He
predicts that the action of Milwaukee
grocers will be followed by every one
of the Al states in which the national
association has branches.

Office. He is Robert Burns Hutchinson,
and his descent from the poet is ua-

was a daughter of Lieut.-Col. James
Glencairn Burns, the third son of Rob-

born at Cheltenham, but crossed the
water in 1891, when he married Miss
Mabel Burnand. Their little daughter,
