PANIC AMONG JEWS.


BERLIN, June 1s.-The Tageblatt's st.
Petersburg correspondent says a report
gained circulation at Novgorod Seyewrskoi,
in the government of Tchernigoff, precisely
similar to that which caused the massacre
at Kishineff, namely, that the government
had ordered determination Of the Jews. The
people began to make preparations most
openly, talked the matter over publicly,
and appointed May q. Coronation day, for
the massacres. Terror seized the Hebrew
population, which assembled in the syna-
gogue on the day appointed. There were
5000 persons within and without the build
ing, awaiting the beginning of the massa-
ere, but the police paraded the streets in
force and prevented the gathering of mobs,
although some persons formed crowds and
shouted. Strike the Jews dead!" The
day, however. passed without any serious
outbreak. The marshal of the aristocracy,
Prince Galitzin, and several priests Of the
Russian Church. attended the coronation
celebration in the synagogue, so as to re-
assure the Jews. Their presence exercised
a restraint on the populace.

CONCESSION TO JEWS
RUSSIA PROMISES To AMELIORATE
THEIR CONDITION.
Their Villages to Be CLASSIFIED as
Cities, and They Can Live ANY,
where in the Country.

CHICAGO. June 1s.-The Russian govern
ment has taken cognizance Of the protest
against the Kishineff massacres. Great con-
cessions have been granted to the Jews,
which will relieve their terribly confined
condition in the large cities. where they
are herded together and constantly under
the eye of the government officials. The
tidings was received in a cablegram from
Odessa by Leon A. Berezniak tonight. Ac-
cording to the dispatch a committee of ff-
ty Of the most influential Jews Of Odessa,
consisting of lawyers, bankers and phi
lanthropists, went to st. Petersburg and
were received by the minister of law, Won
Plehwe, and the minister of finance, Witte.
Before these two a memorial was laid ask
ing that the Jews of the region where the
prosecutions have been most fragrant might
be granted concessions. The misery of the
families who had lost all during the terrible
massacres were described and clemcncy of
the Gar was asked.
A meeting of the Ministry was called and
the question was taken UP. The head OF
the Jewish church at Kronstadt, who head
ed the committee, was called into the con-
all villages, as regards the Jews, should be
classified as cities, and that Jews should be
permitted to reside in them. AS a further
concession it was decided that the ukase
prohibiting Jews from living within fifty
miles of the frontier should be removed
and that they be permitted to live in any
portion of the country.

The Postofice Department has resumed
the establishment or rural Tree 0euvery
routes, which were held UP on account OF
the deficit In the appropriation for that
service. and a large number OF routes will
be put into operation on July ], the begin
ming of the new fiscal year. The policy Of
the department hereafter will be to estab-
Iish routes as rapidly as possible, consistent
with the best interests of the service and
economic administration. The rules as to
the number of families required to be on
the route in order to secure the service prob
ably will be more strictly adhered to and
few exceptions made. The rule required
that no service shall be established on a
route on which there are less than one hun
dred families. Unless exceptions are made
for some special reasons, routes are to be
investigated in the order In which the petit
lions for them are filed.
The political aspect of the investigation
continues to be discussed. Joseph G. Can
non. OF Illinois. the speaker to be, was a
caller at the department to-day. He dis
cussed the scandal with Postmaster General
Payne and Fourth Assistant Bristow. The
administrator views the future with conn.,

tigation of the Postoffice Department 1t
has been demonstrated that corrupt prac-
tees existed under Democratic as well as
Republican administrations. and that indi-
viduals OF both parties are involved.

little brotherly love, Thomas O'Neil. of

He also has a large lump on the side of his
face from coming In contact with a brick
which this same brother let fall on him.
The O'Neil brothers, Il is said. never were
of the most loving disposition, and as both
were under the influence of strong drink
yesterday, they had little difficulty in find
ing a subject over which they could raise
a dispute which would be sure to end I'm a
quarrel, and hat is what they proceeded
to do.
The city ambulance, in charge of Drs.
Sheek and Seaton, was called TO the O'Neil
