SAYS JEWS WERE AGGRESS0RS
An Emigrant from Odessa Makes
Statement That Hebrews Attacked
Soldiers Fiercely There.

Boston, Dec. 26.-According to An
dreas Stockberger, an immigrant who
arrived here on the steamer Cartha'
genian, the recent bloodshed in Odessa
was largely due to Jews attacking the
soldiers. Stockberger is a German and
comes from a German settlement Of
Gildendorff, near Odessa.
In an interview he said:
"In Odessa saw the troops march
down the main street with loaded
guns. Before them was the bowling
mob, armed with all sorts Of weapons
and whenever a chance appeared they
would swoop down on the soldiers and
tear them to pieces. From house tops
and windows stood men and women
and even children and as the soldiers
marched by bombs were hurled at
them, killing scores and wounding
hundreds at time.
"The soldiers would then charge
upon their attackers, piercing them
with bayonets and shooting them with
ball. Wherever the soldiers went they
were attacked. The mob, made up en-
tirely of Jews, were almost beside
themselves and their only purpose was
to kill the soldiers" ~

ficially repudiated the strike of the
structural iron workers.
In many of the trades the prevail
ing wage will continue for the COM
ing year. The wages of the house
carpenters, however, will be increased
30 cents a day, and the cabinet makers
will receive an increase Of % cents
day, beginning next July.
The trade agreements now date from
January instead of May as heretofore.
This step was taken because the en-
ployers do not want strikes on their
hands on May 1 when the busy build
ing season begins.

BOARD DECLINES DUTIES.
Gov. Folk Says Prison Inspectors
Draw Salaries, But Are ObliviOus
to Their Obligations.

st. Louis, Dec. 27.-When asked
Tuesday about the letter from thu
state board Of prison inspectors, claim
ing they have no power to govern the
penitentiary, Gov Folk, who was' ii
the city On route to the state capita
from visit to Tennessee, said:
II have not received the letter Of the
prison inspectors printed in the pa
pers, but when do l shall, Of course
answer 1t. The remarkable thing
about the report and letter is that the
inspectors seem to be so calmly OBJ
livious Of the duties imposed upon
them by the law.
"The law puts responsibility on
them which they cannot decline. They
are the governing board Of the prison
and are paid $3.50 year each by the
state for their services.
"They accept the compensation and
decline the duties. III .j
"They say they have no powers.
Their powers are defined BY statute,
and all insist upon is that they do
the things the law requires them to
do. &4
I'm fact, under the statutes the war,
den can do practically nothing without
the approval Of the inspectors Their
authority is clearly defined.

A "SALT TRUST" SUIT.
The Independent Salt Manufacturers
of Kansas Think Railroads Fa-
vOr Combine in Freight Rates.

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 27.-The inde-
pendent salt manufacturers of Kansas
will bring another suit before the
railroad commissioners unless they re-
ceive the rates which they think they
should get at the hands of the railroad
commissioners in the suit which is
now pending. The case may be
brought before the interstate commerce
commission because many of the in
dependent manufacturers think they
will in this manner be able to break
the salt trust" which is said to exist
in this state.
1t is\ said that here have been re-
cent developments in regard to COM
binations regarding freight rates which
will be interesting when the matter
is made public. The independent
salt men are. of the opinion that the
trust" men are given advantages
which the independent dealers do not
enjoy. How true this is can only be
made evident by close examination,
and there is an impression that this
can be shown. The Independent deal
ers think that this can be developed
by case being brought befote the in
terstate commerce commission. 1t is
limited that some of the companies have
been receiving rebates from the rail-
roads. The last hearing before the
interstate commerce commission de-
veloped some interesting things re-
garding rebates and 1t may be that
more sensational news will be made
public.

suits were most satisfactory to him.
The messages containing the greetings
were sent out Sunday night from the

the officers nearest Washington, but
before midnight many Of the stations
had replied, including New Orleans

STUBBORN FIGHTING.
Killed and Wounded at Moscow Al
ready Number 10000.
SEEN DRIVEN BY SUPERHUMAE HATE


London, Dec. 26.-The correspondent
Of the Daily Telegraph at st. Peters
burg in a dispatch dated at 6:45 p. m,
December 25, says:
AT an early hour this morning the
casualties at Moscow were estimated
at 5000 killed and $4,000 wounded, with
the fighting still proceeding.
"The inhabitants of Moscow have
been forbidden to leave their dwell
ings after seven o'clock in the evening,
1T is impossible to move about the
city in consequence of the frequen-
cy of stray bullets. Many innocent
( persons have been accidentally killed.
"A scarcity Of provisions Ii threat
ened."
The same correspondent telegraph
ing at 1898 p. M, says:
"Your Moscow correspondents telo-
grams have not been accepted because
all private messages were refused this
/ afternoon.
ut is learned, however, that cannon
firing Is now proceeding in various
parts Of the city where, tonight, very
near the railroad stations, the barri-
cades erected by the revolutionaries
are being desperately defended.
"The Kursk terminus at Moscow
is being pillaged and many wagons
laden with provisions are being looted.
"The emperor is engaged daily in re-
viewing at Tsarskoe-Selo the regi-
ments Of the st. Petersburg district.
The spirit Of the troops is decidedly
loyal.
Prom fragmentary accounts re-
ceived from Moscow l gather that the
civil war has brought no decisive ac-
ton but only a thickening Of the blood
cloud. an intesifying Of the horrors and
an increase Of the prevailing bitter
ness.
"The driving force behind both the
troops and the rebels is no longer that
Of enthusiasm or Of any human i'm
pulses. 1t is the force Of superhuman
hate, and hence the deeds reported are
not the acts Of patriots, soldiers or
otherwise, but the enormities Of mad
men.
ut is impossible to understand how
any emotion even Of the extremes Of
despair or hate, can impart such fool
hardy courage as some Of the rebels

The preponderance of sentiment at the
court is now so unpeaceful that the hope
is expressed that the terms of Japan will

seen that they cannot be accepted.
There is an energetic and increasing
group among the Cars entourage who

hold that the Russian empire, which in
the past has sacrificed all for prestige,
is an immense military power, and can
not abandon after only eighteen months
all that such prestige means. Even if a
long war does not bring glorious victory
to the present army, it win confirm the
reputation of the Russian soldier for en-
durance and courage.
