The Jews now threaten to massacre the Chris- tians tomorrow
 A dispatch from Odessa describes that city as having experienced a dreadful day. the defenseless populace being at the mercv of A bowling and armed rabble of 5000 men, calling themselves loyalists and led by disguised policemen and their wretched dupes.
 This dispatch says: Il
 .The Jews made a stout resistance and their successful bravery entailed lament able sacrifices. It Is impossible to obtain the casualties, but rumors put the number killed and wounded as high as 2000. many by bombs, which the mobs used whole sale. Not until late at night when the murderous work had gone unchecked for hours. were the troops brought out and placed around the Jewish quarters and quiet somewhat restored.
 .'The law-abiding citizens are incensed with Governor General KauIbars, who is held to be responsible. The civil governor was deposed yesterday. The only hope is that the worst has passed. In all prob ability the mobs have exhausted their stock of cartridges

COsSAcKS ARE SCATTERED
 BY EXPLOSION OF BOMB.

"A loya1lst general WHO was leduing q vast procession in the Alexander pros- pect, was shot dead. Half company of Cossacks forming personal guard for the town residents of their commander, attempted to barricade the street for the purpose of defense, but were scatterd by bomb and the Cossack commander escaped from the vengeance of the crowd in civilian attire
 'The absence of street lighting and an overcast sky added to the horrors. In the streets after nightfall there were savage cries from near and afar, min gled with the rattle of small arms It was supposed that martial law will be reim- posed at noon, but I have seen only a couple. of military patrols. Martial law without troops to enforce it. is a grim farce. and heavy responsibility lies on the shoulders of Governor General Kaulbars. An official note was issued tonight that persons found in the streets without au- thority after o'clock was liable to be shot at sight by the patrols.
 s.It Is reported that the casualties will reach one thousand. but 1t is impossible to verify this report. The last bomb thrown in Deribass street killed fifteen and wounded forty. Within ten minutes eight others were killed near the same spot. The Jews are said to be the only persons who have resorted to the throw ing of bombs, but the extremity of their peril must be remembered Our only sal vation is in the complete military occu- patton of the city

Contrary to the official report, balmier autumn day never dawned over Chesapeake Bay than that which poured out its sunshine upon the cruisers as they steamed in single column swiftly up the bay.

They were the boats of the destroyer flotilla, the Hopkins, Macdonough, Law renee, Worden and Stewart, which arrived over night and anchored well up in the harhor.

DOGS AND MuzzlEs.

+. ~
Because one man in Clarksburg
murders another man, is that any
( reason all the men of Clarksburg
should be imprisoned and tortured?
This is the argument that citizens
of prominence and influence are us
ing on the dog muzzling question
There is good, sound sense in it, too.
Others do not have their dogs muzz-
led and they say they will not sub
NIT to having their dogs killed but
will sue the city in such event for
damages. The muzzle question has
stirred things up considerably and
there is much criticism at the bar
berous treatment of the dumb AMI
NAL. With those wire crates and
leather bands, dogs do not have an
opportunity tospant. They can do
no good at drinking. They can not
get their tongue out. Their bark
ing is scarcely more than a growl.
Indeed, their condition is almost
helpless and their usefulness gone
with muzzlcs on. Another feature
of the question is that the city is
getting bad name away from home,
For instance, at Weston the story is
being told that a Clarksburg police
man shot dog twice and finished
the job with a club. Still another
story they tell there is that muzz-
led dog made a few effort. to get the
muzzle off and a policeman thought
he was mad and shot him. The
muzzling of them will not solve the
dog problem. The tag system,
which the city law provides might.
Certainly there would then be bet
ter class Of dogs. They would be
fewer and bettcr looked after and the
situation would be improved.
