WARsAW'S RIOT.


WARSAW. April ., 1905. Several
hundred Jewish Socialists gathered to-
day outside building IN which we're
several prisoners awaiting trial and de
manded the body of dead comrade,
which they wished to bury according to
Jewish rites. Upon being refused, the
crowd battered down the doors, discharg-
ed revolvers, and sang revolutionary
songs.
The police were unable TO disperse the
mob and troops were called. Upon the
arrival of the soldiers the crowd, which
had in the meantime swelled TO thou
sands, fed the troops pursuing them.
II is reported that five persons were
killed and forty wounded A large num-
Der of arrests were made.
It has not been reliably ascertained
what provoeation the crowd gave the sol
diers. The police say that some Of the
Socialists fred revolvers at them, and it
was only when the leaders urged the mob
70 make united attack that the troops
fred volleys at them.
All the wounded are Jews. They were
taken to the hospital.
The city seems to he approaching a
condition as serious as that during the
recent strike period. The authorities and
law abiding residents are very anxious
over the renewed evidence of trouble.
