st. Petersburg, Nov. 9.-The revolu
tionary wave continues to subside ex
cept in the Caucasus.
. AS details On what happened
throughout European Russia during
the upheaval arrive the story grow.
more revolving.
In the Baltic provinces revolt and in
cendiarism prevail.
In Poland even the clergy, Catholic
and Protestant, participated in the
manifestations in favor of the au
tonomy. Of the ancient kingdom. In
Southwestern Russia hardly a city OF
town escaped Jewish massacres.
AT Tomsk, Siberia, according to the
latest reports received here, the whole
population Of, 10000 and the military
stood by while 600 men, women and
children were burned in a theatre
The courthouse at Tomsk and the
mayors residence, where the students
and revolutionists took refuge from the
mob, were burned and those who
tried to flee were killed in the streets.
In Moscow the social revolutionists
and the Black Hundred and the Co.'S
sacks and police fought bloody battles.
The descent of the butchers of Mos
COW with their knives and axes upon
the students was one of the most hor-
rible chapters, but not as pitiful, how
ever, as the attack of the Black Hun
dred on procession of school children
carrying red flags. When the children
sought to escape a Gordon of police
barred the way and the youthful
martyrs were beaten into insensibility
and in some cases were actually torn
to pieces. 49,. ~. e.
In the Alexander garden at Moscow
Cossacks lay in ambush in the shrub
berry and set upon their victims with
whips. Many were. beaten to death
and others were hardly able to crawl
away.
The reports from the Caucasus show
there is no immediate prospect of sup
pressing the present state of anarchy.
Battles between the Tartars and Ar
menians continue and the destruction
of the railroads and lack of troops
make 1t impossible for the authorities
to cope with the situation.

Hearst 225,166. WINS 1S7,o49. District
Attorney Jerome, Independent, was re-
elected by plurality Of over IL 900.
William R. Hearst, Municipal Own

Tammany Hall with fraud and will
contest the election. Mr.. Hearst in
making his contest may demand that
each Of the 1,4SO ballot boxes used in
the election be brought before the.
board Of aldermen and count Of the
ballots made by that body. Then II
dissatisfied Mr.. Hearst may throw the;
whole matter into the courts for de-
cision and II that is done the battle
probably will be long and intricate
one. In addition to the procedure be-
fore the aldermen and the regular con-
test In the courts Mr.. Hearst may, of
course, bring to the attention of the
authorities each individual case Of
fraud or violence that may be dis
covered, Although Mcclellan on the
face of the complete, but unoficial re-.
turns, was elected by plurality OF

the contest. The election Of William
