THE RUSSIAN NOVELIST.
Most Disgraceful Deed in the
Nations History.
"GENTLEMEN" LED THE MOB
Not One Christian was Injured Dur
Ing the Slaughter of the Jews-The
Official Account of the Massacre Is
shown TO be Unreliable.

st. Petersburg, May 23.-Photo-
graphs from Kischineff which have
been received here, besides fully sus-
tanning the reports that the worst
atrocities were committed during the
outbreak against the Jews there,
contradict the official account of the
massacre and the stories printed IN
the nationalist press.
The people of Kischineff declare
that no Christian received a gunshot-
wound and that there are no Christ
ians in the hospitals. OF the two
dead Christians one was boy
whose death was attributed to fright
and chronic disease.
Berlin, May 23.-Maxim Cork, the
Russian novelist, recently wrote an
article on the Kischinef massacres
for a Mini Novgorod newspaper, but
the censor refused to allow its pub
lication. Cork then sent the article
to the st. Petersburg correspondent
of the Frankfort KGene Press,
which prints it. The article is as
follows:
Russia has been disgraced more
and more Frequently of recent years
by dark deeds, but the most disgrace
full of all is the horrible Jewish mas
Sacre at KiSchinetf. which has awak-
ened our horror, shame and indigna
tion. People who regard themselves
as Christians, who claim to believe in
Gods mercy and sympathy, these
people on the day consecrated to the
resurrection of their God from the
dead. occupy the time in numbering
children and aged people, ravishing
the women and martyring the men of
the race which gave them Christ.
The mob at Ki.chinetf was led by
men of cultivated society. But culti-
waited society in Russia is really much
worse than the people, who are
goaded by their sad life and blinded
or enthralled by the artificial dark
ness created around them. The cul-
tivated classes are a crowd of coward
~ slaves. without feeling of personal
dignity, ready to accept every lie to
save their ease and comfort; a weak
and lawless element almost without
conscience and without shame, in
spite of its elegant exterior.
Cultivated society is not less
guilty of the disgraceful and horri-
BILE deeds committed at Kischineff
than the actual murderers and raw
ishers. Its members guilt consists
in that not merely they did not pro-
tect the victims, but that they re-
joiced over the murders: it consists
chiefly in committing themselves for
long years to be corrupted by man
haters and persons who have long en-
joyed the disgusting glory of being
the lackeys of power and glorifers
% lies.
'It is now the duty of Russian so
city, that is not yet wholly ruined by
these bandits. 20 prove that it is not
identified with those instigators OF
pillage and murder. Russian society
must clear it's conscience of part of
the shame and disgrace by helping
the orphaned and desolated Jews and
assisting these members of the race
which has given to the world many
really great men. and which still con-
tinues to produce teachers of truth
and beauty in spite of its oppressed
condition in the world.
"Come, therefore, all who do not
want themselves to be regarded as
the lackeys of the lackeys and who
still retain their self-respect; come
and help the Jews"
