WANNA. Russia, Nov. 2.-During
the celebration yesterday of the grant
ing of constitution to Russia, a
Jewish service was held to the memory
of those who died in the cause of free
dom.
The flags of the demonstrators bore
the words, Long live the constitution, "
and Liberty. equality and fraternity"
Then, singing the "Marseillaise," the
demonstrators marched to the prison
and compelled the release of a few po-
litcal prisoners. AS the processionists
were returning through the public
square they were set upon by loyalist
mob with shouts Of xiii the Jews. -
A free fight and a panic followed.
The mob then hurried to the Jewish
quarter. sacked the shops and broke
into the residences. destroying every
thing and committing horrible atroci-
ties. AS there were only a few troops
in the town the authorities were power
less. The rioting continued all night

factory While the cabinet has no
authority TO decide matters within the
competency Of the legislative bodies,
no measure of general Importance"
can be introduced into the chambers
without the sanction of the cabinet,
and another provision requires that
when the cabinet is unanimous the
premier must go to the emperor and
receive Instructions. This would seem
to make the final authority go back to
the emperor. Moreover, all questions
affecting the imperial court and do
mains, the army and navy and foreign
affairs are specifically excluded from
the competency of the cabinet without
direct imperial authority.
1t Is now definitely established that
the whole student movement is prac-
tically conducted by a student organ
ization which belongs to the Social
Democratic party. Much of the work
has been directed from the headquar-
tors at Berlin and Geneva. The organ
ization includes students throughout
Russia, and they are acting in har-
inony with the leader in st. Peters
burg, who has displayed remarkable
genius as an organizer and director.
He Is young man of % and an ex-
ceedlngly clever student. He Is a fine
but cool headed speaker of much per-
sonal magnetism. The comrades of
the student leader manifest intense de-
votion to him and rely implicitly on
his judgment.
Amnesty is expected to be proclaimed
tonight. 1t is claimed, however, that it
will except certain classes of political
prisoners whose liberations II Is con-
sldered would threaten public and in
dividual safety. 1t Is estimated that
the amnesty will affect 100000 persons
who are shut up in jails, prisons and
fortresses in European Russia and
other thousands i'm the penal colonies
of Siberia. Besides it will permit the
return Of countless others, who are
banished from their homes and COM
pelled to live in specified localities.

THE city rings with the reports Of

"The Cossacks are said to have lost
over a hundred men by bombs and
shots from windows. Cossack patrols
carry carbines and have their fingers
on the triggers. The streets are alb

THE casualties yesterday are believed
to have amounted to 5000 killed and
wounded. In the Jewish quarters bod

walks. Jewish women and children
were strangled and hacked to pieces in
the streets where the mob gained the
upper hand. The Red Cross doctor tells
me that the Kishineff horrors were
repeated a hundredfold.

on Occupants

ODESSA. Nov. 2, 5 p. m.-The
troops wreaked terrible vengeance on
the residents of three houses from the
balconies of which shots had been hred
at the soldiers by unknown persons.
The soldiers stormed the houses and
with unheard of barbarity massacred
all the inhabitants.
1t is persistently asserted that the
persons who fired on the troops were
disguised policemen who purposely
provoked the troops.
The city is a dismal sight. The
streets are filled with Cossack patrols
and flying detachments of the Red
Cross. which follow the bands of muir
derous rioters. The firing has beer
uninterrupted the whole day and still
continues as this dispatch is filed.
Many hundreds have been killed or
wounded.
The Cossacks eagerly attack the stu
dent militia, which is courageously
trying to stem the bands who are
massacreing and pillaging principally
in the Jewish quarter. The looters
openly divide the goods, the Cossacks in
many cases participating in the pro-
ceeds of the robberies
The rector of the university has sent
telegram to Count Witte tmploring
him Immediately to dismiss Governor
Reinhardt, who is held responsible for
the outbreak, as otherwise catastro-
phe is unavoidable Count Whites an

The city is in dreadful state of
panic Even the telegraph Offices were
closed most of the day for the first

LONDON, Nov. 2.-The Daily Mails
Moscow correspondent undr date of
November describes an imposing
demonstration at the funeral of the
reformer, Nicholas Baumann, who was
shot in the riots three days ago, and
that of woman shot by the police.
Two enormous professions joined at
the university and it is estimated that
nearly 100000 persons were marching
in perfect order with red flags and ban
ners flying.
A choir of 300 trained singers chanted
a requiem while thousands in the pro-
cession sang the "Marseillaise."
In the procession were deputations
from all the strikers organizations, the
delegates of which had obtained the
governments consent to the withdraw
al of the police and Cossacks from the
route on guaranteeing to preserve or
der themselves. Accordingly an armed
vigilance committee accompanied the
procession with ambulances.
The immense size of the procession
caused slow progress, and when dark
ness had fallen the cemetery still was
four miles distant. Hence the cere-
mony promised to last far into the
night. The collins were borne shoulder
high. They were entirely draped with
red cloth and most of those WHO
marched wore red ribbons. The dis
tance from the city to Dorgosolava
telegram was dispatched the corre-
spondent says, the funeral had not
been concluded. Bodies of police and
Cossacks were held in readiness not
far from the line for fear of possible

OF WOMAN
Samuel swearingen Goes Into Details
of Murder Case at jackson,
Where Clarence Murphy
Is on Trial
by Associated Press.


JACKSON, Cal, Nov. "A jury was
secured today in the trial of Clarence
Murphy for the murder of Mrs. Phoebe
A. Williams in Lancha Plana, June II,
which began i'm the superior court Mon
day.
Samuel Swearingen, alias Love, the
confessed aCcomplice of Murphy was
on the stand all day. He gave full de-
tails of the plot and the part he took
therein.
His story was that Murphy told him
while the two were on the way from
Clements to Locl<ford that Mrs. Will
liams had from $4,000 to $4,000 hid
away, and that he could get 1t, and
he persuaded Love to enter into the
scheme. Love left the Murphy ranch
June 8, and at the request of Murphy
he went to stockton and thence to
Sacramento, where he stayed at the
Western hotel on June 10. He was
told to engage the room for Nov. 12,
so Murphy could send another man 10
occupy the room and represent him.
Love returned to Murphy's place Sat
urday night and hid in the haystack,
where the defandant brought him pro
visions.
On the night of the murder Murphy
came along III II cart. Inc TWO men
walked from the pipe line one mile
below Lancha Plana to the Williams
residence, arriving there about Il
o'clock.
Tells of Murder
Murphy said he would get young
Maker out and try and get him to tell
where Mrs. Williams kept her money.
The defendant and Maker left, going
toward the river. The defendant was
gone about half an hour and returned
alone.
He went into the house while Love
stood outside watching. He was i'm
side half an hour walking around the
rooms with Mrs. Williams, who was
crying. When he came out Love asked
him if he got anything. He said no,
but that no one was left to tell the
tale.
A knife produced was recognized as
the one left by Love on the Murphy
place when he left, and is claimed to
be the weapon used on Maker and
Mrs. Williams. Love claims that he
did not know anything about the kill
ing of Maker, and that he did not en-
ter into any agreement to murder in
the Williams case, only robbery A
searching cross examination failed to
shake the witness on any material
point. His examination will be con-
tinued tomorrow. The trial will likely
take two weeks.

SAYS NAVY is IN BAD SHAPE
Rear Admiral Rae Sounds Note of
Warning and Points to the Benz
nneton to Prove Assertions
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Rear Ad-
miral Charles w. Rae, engineer-in-chief
of the United States navy, in his an
nual report calls attention to "the
critical condition of engineering in the
navy" and points to the explosion on
the gunboat Bennington in San Diego
harbor, which he says most forcibly
emphasizes the necessity Of serious and
immediate attention.
Speaking of the operations of the
personnel bill, which merges the corps
of engineers into the line of the navy.
he says corps of specialists was
virtually abolished and their duties
transferred to the line.
$50 few officers of the line are taking
up engineering seriously that the stu
alton is becoming alarming" says the
engineer-i in-chief, and he adds:
Were the country suddenly plunged
into war the navy would find itself
in no condition to win battles. AS
necessary as good Workmanship is the
ability to carry guns to the firing line
and to keep them there amid the havoc
created by modern ordnance, and this
will never be done with amateurs in
charge of the machinery. That line
officers can become good engineers has
already been proved, but they must
have experience to become so, and that
experience must be acquired in subor-
dinate positions"
Submits Working Plan
Admiral Rae submits a plan ''fol
quickly supplying the navy with a body
of efficient engineers" which provides
that all the younger officers must be
given engineering duty and to be made
to realize their responsibility, the duty
to be performed first in subordinate
capacity and examinations to be strict
with engineering ranking markham
ship, gunnery and navigation.
Further, the plan provides for q
number of engineering special
at sea and on shore shall be
engineering, such officers not to per-
form sea duty after reaching the grade
of commander, One in every ten above
the rank of lieutenant junior grade in
suggested as the number of such Of
ficers required, and it is proposed that
such officers be recruited from the foot
of the list of lieutenants, the officers
so selected to be given a course in
higher marine engineering for at least
year. This plan, ii is explained, would
give a body of engineering specialists
as follows:
Two rear admirals, 7 captains, II
commanders, 20 lieutenant command
ers and 81 lieutenants, of which mum.
Der 62 would be available for sea
duty
Admiral Rae says the bureau is OPP
posed to the formation of separate
corps of engineers in the navy similar
to that abolished by the personnel act
for various reasons.
