During the fighting between roughs
ana Jews in Dalnitskaya street, last

ate enthusiasm until a late hour, yes
| terday. All work was suspended and
| the streets We're blocked with cheering
| crowds. At the town hall, red flag
demonstrations were charged by Cos
sacks. who caused their horses to tram
pie on the people. The number of per-
sons injured was small. There was
| considerable pillaging during the night
on the outskirts of Odessa, which the
students who organized themselves into
q city guard tried to prevent.
| A serious clash took place at the uni
| versity. where students were harangu-
| ing the crowds. Cossacks charged
using their lances and whips, killing 10
and wounding so persons. The Cos
| sacks also broke the windows of the
| buildings with their lances and some
students were driven into the court
yard and were whipped by the Cos
sacks and police. One of the students
was beaten by 80 policemen. His jaw
| was broken. Another student was taken

on the ardor of the crowds already ex-
hausted by the delrium Of yesterday.
Gen. Trepoff's warning to the manifes-
tants that he will use energetic meas
ures to prevent disorders coupled with
the temperance Of patrols OF horses
and foot soldiers also exercised a re-
straining influence and the agitators
experienced difficulty in again arous-
ing the proletariat. Many railroad men
are ready to return to work and those
i'll favor OF continuing the struggle have
difficulty in holding the majority. The
students and Social Democratic leaders,
who continue to declare that nothing
but a Democratic republic will suffice,
are using every means in their power
to keep up the enthusiasm and drive
TIE people into armed collisions with
the troops.
The news from the provinces shows
that the people were aroused to high
pitch Of enthusiasm, but everywhere
the populace was divided into two
camps as in st. Petersburg, those who
accepted the boon of freedom with in
tense joy, and who are denominated
loyaists. and the extreme radicals un-
der the leadership of the students, So
cial Democrats and Revolutionary or
ganizations. who used the opportunity
to preach the complete overthrow of
the government. Clashes and sanguin-
ary conflicts occurred at many places.
In some towns the mobs obtained con-
troll and the authorities We're forced to
obey their demands for the release of
the political prisoners. This was the
case at ByelOstOk. CossackS We're
turned loose and beat the crowds at
kaZan. Nishinoff, kieff and other
places.
The first encounter, today, occurred
at the university in the Vasili OStrov
district. where the students, early this
morning, resumed the delivering of in
fiamn.atory speeches to the gathering
crowds Toward noon, when the quay
was solid mass of workmrn and dem
onstrators. Il squad of Cossacks
charged, using their whips and the flats
of their sabres. Several persons We're
injured by being trampled upon and
We're taken to an adjoining hospital.
The TIE Deum which was celebrated
by the Metropolitan Antonius at the
cathedral. was lightly attended. The
Grand Duke Michael Nicholaievitch
was the only member OF the imperial
family present. The many policemen
in the cathedral We're in evident dread
of a bomb explosion.
Moscow, to which the eyes of the en-
pire now turn naturally for guidance,
has uron the whole received the i'm
peri.1l manifesto splendidly The Lib
erals generally, it appears, will b.. con-
tented if its provisions arc executed in
n proper spirit. The people generally
abandoned themselves to rejoicing,
though there We're a number of clashes |
and fatalities
