conservative in summing up situation
in The countries to which they are ac-
credited. The officials of the State De

political activities in other countries, are
frank to say that the Russian situation
is serious.
The opinion is expressed on all sides
that there is to be a general revolution

RIOTS IN ODESSA

ODESSA, Oct. %. 1905 The city is
greatly excited to-day. Two hundred
thousand people are on the streets, but
the troops keep them moving.
The employees of the street railways
have refused to join the strike. As a
result a mob overturned twenty cars in
Richelieu street.
A number of students raided gun
shop to-day. They had partly plunder-
ed the place when Cossacks arrived. In
a scuffle that followed three students
were wounded and score arrested. The
regular troops are acting in a moderate
manner, but the Cossaeks are provoca-
lively brutal.
Troops hold the streets in all direc-
tions. The fighting began at 5.aS
o'clock. Workmen and students erected
barricades, using street cars for the pur-
pose.
Many of the men who were wounded
by the fire of the Cossacks were taken
to drug stores for treatment.

to bring this result.
The speaker emphasized the co-opera-
tion which has existed between the Tren-
ton schools and the boys department
there. He referred to these facts: The
Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium is used for the
High school athletic meets: the associa-
ton field is used for athletic contests and

the association debating clubs, camera
clubs, etc., which the school boys can
use to good advantage. He also praised
the grammar school athletic league Of
Trenton, which was conducted last sum
mer under the auspices of the Y. NJ. G.

oped school spirit, gave the pupils an
outing, stood for clean sport and made
school life more pleasant. thereby tending
to keep the boys in school.
