"The Jewish quarter has been

them as they ran.
"At 7 o'clock in the evening an

during the week a portrait of the

Warsaw, Russian Poland, Nov.
3.-A remarkable feature of tho
demonstrations here was the fra
ternizing of the people of the SOL
diers. The latter were carried about
on the shoulders of the crowd, and
were furnished with champagne
and cigarettes. All classes of the
population participated in the DEM
onstrations. The orchestra Of the
Court Theatre led a crowd singing
"The Marseillaise.'' All the stores
were closed.
The greatest rage is felt against
the Cossacks, whose attack on the
crowd before the City Hall was un-
provoked. Many were killed or
wounded.
At a socialist mass meeting this
afternoon two infantry soldiers in
full uniform delivered revolutionary
addresses, assuring their hearers
that the revolutionary propaganda
was growing in the army, and that
the time was not far remote when
the army would join in revolution

The meeting resolved to exclude
newspapers, bakers and butchers,
and cafes and restaurants from the
general strike.
