RACES in Prospect.

Odessa, Nov. 3-The massacre of
Jews continues. They are being hunt
ed down in the streets and killed and
beaten while their shops are given
over to pillage.
The streets are in the possession OF
wild, disorderly mob of roughs. Sew
eral bombs have been thrown.
Martial Law Brings Relief.
London, Nov. 3.-The Standard S
Odessa correspondent says:
within three hours of the declara-
ton of martial law, which came to the
unspeakable relief of the peaceful cit
liens, no fewer than 5000 ruffianly
loyalists had been disarmed by stu
dents and militia. How some $4,000
artisan rowdies became possessed of
reyolvers and an abundance OF cart
ridges is a question requiring solu-
ton A rigorous curfeW law is well
coined as deliverance from the ter
rors of the last two days. Any one in
the streets after nightfall is liable to
arrest; anyone appearing at open win
dows or on balconies risks being shot
without warning
The Telegraph's Odessa correspond

cases whole rows of houses have been

windows. The troops have been using
machine guns and martial law pre-

windows and it is impossible to look

consulates are protected by soldiers. "

Odessa, Nov. 3.-The troops
wreaked terrible vengeance on the
residents of three houses from bal
comics of which shots were fired by
unknown persons upon the soldiers,
who Immediately stormed the houses
and with unheard of barbarity massa-

It is persistently asserted that the
unknown persons who fired on the
troops were disguised policemen, who

are filled with cossack patrols and fly

which follow the bands of murderous
rioters.

The cossacks eagerly attack the stu,
dent militia which is courageoUsly try
ing to stem the bands who are massa,
creing and pillaging principally in the
Jewish quarter. The looters openly
divide the goods, the cossacks in many
cases participating in the proceeds OF
the robberies.
The rector Of the university has sent
a telegram to Count Witte imploring
him to Immediately dismiss Governor
Reinhardt, who is held responsible for
the outbreak, as otherwise a catas-
trophe is unavoidable.
The city is in dreadful state of
panic. Even the telegraph offices were
closed most of the day for the first
time since they opened.
