ANARCHY IN RUSSIA.

cratic and revolutionary partleS succeeu-
ed in holding meeting and formulating
their minimum demands. Secret ballot;
manhood suffrage; complete abolition of
the existing regime; sbdicatioD of the
Car and the establishment of a republic
upon socialistic basis are the demands.
In st. Petersburg the government now
apparently has the upper hand and grad
ually quiet is being restored. There is
a general belief that the worst is over.
The first steps toward calling off the
strike were taken today when the strike
committee decided to bring the strike TO
an end tomorrow. 1t is believed that
most of the workmen will obey the orders
to return to their positions.
A manifesto issued by the Gar was
posted in all the streets this afternoon
calling on the people to support the gov
eminent so that the new regime may be
successfully inaugurated and explaining
that if they fail TO do this the response
bility for whatever may happen will rest
on them and not on the government.
During last night patrols of Cossacks
galloped up and down the principal
thoroughfares in lines extending froh
curb to curb, scattering the crowds by
the use of knou.s and swords. A num-
Der of persons were injured while this
work was going on and much bitterness
has been caused By the affair. At this
writing all is quite in the city.
Odessa, Nov. 1.-The desultory fight
ing which continued throughout the
night was resumed again this morn
ing. The rough element is forcing the
fighting by attacking the Jews and the
latter are defending themselves with the
assistance of students.
The situation here remains serious in
the extreme and fighting is being kept
no. Revised estimates of the casualties
in yesterdays street fighting give the
killed at 500 and l, 500 wounded. The
victims we're mostly Jews and students,
who died while trying to defend men,
bers of the hated Hebrew race.
Absolute anarchy reigns. Several
hundred shops have been pillsged and
the mob is uncontrolled. The autho
rites apparently have abdicated. Ger
eral Kanlbers, the military commander
of the Odessa district, is doing absolute
ly nothing to prevent the continuance
of pillaging and street fighting.
The roughs have made their head
quarters on the water front and the po-
sitioI occupied by them is piled with
the loot taken in the former raids. The
rioters are now engaged in going through
the streets carrying off loads of spoil
from the looted shops.
The streets are patrolled by Cossacks,
but they are entirely Indifferent to the
work of pillage. They only laugh as
the robbers pass by them, carrying
carrying piles of stolen goods on their
shoulders.
An estimate of the damage wrought
by the mob places the figures at$5, OOO,-
900.
Serious outbreaks are reported to have
occurred at Nicolaief, Kherson, and
Seyastopol.
The rejoicing here is tending toward a
great orgy, and it is feared that this will
curoinate in the mobs again becoming
rampant and making another attack gu
the Jews. If this occurs, the disorders
will probably be greater than have &C.
cnrred so far, when the drink-crazed
crowds resume their pillaging.
Odessa, Nov. 2.-The military is be-
ginning to act in suppressing the Holli-
gans who have run riot ever since yes
terday, and the town is quieter as re-
suit. Firing is still heard in the town
at intervals, however.
Warsaw, Poland, Nov. last night
was given over 10 demonstrations by the
people, which lasted until daybreak, and
eliminated in a clash with the troops in
which there we're many casualties.
Throughout the night the people march
ed through the streets singing revolu-
tionary songs and engaging in frequent
demonstrations. They refused to obey
the orders of the soldiers to disperse,
and the latter fred into a great crowd
Thirty-fve persons were killed by the
volleys and 10 others we're wounded.
The citizens today are preparing a
petition to be sent to Count White, pray
ing him to secure the removal OF Cover
nor General Sualon who is held re-
sponsible in public estimation for the
carnage.
Cossacks this afternoon fred on crowd
in the streets killing three persons, and
wounding three.
With utter disregard for the orders of
the authorities prohibiting street process
sions, thousands OF workmen are now
parading through the streets singing
"God Save Poland" and carrying the
Polish national flag. The greatest ex-
element continues to prevail.
Warsaw, Nov. 2.-The agitation in
this city has progressed to the point
where the revolutionaries are now de-
manding self government for Poland
This morning proclamations were is
sued by the socialists demanding that
this conce ssiOn shall be granted i'm
mediately. During the afternoon a
number Of officers of gendarmes and
company of gendarmes appeared at
a meeting of EN- ployees of the Vistula
railway, and asked permission to listen
to the speeches being made, so that they
might become acquainted with the stu
alton. The request was agreed to with
frantic cheering on the part of the rail-
way workingmen.
Radon, Poland, Nov. 1.-The anti.
