for Revolt.

Lodz. Russian Poland, June 26.-The
most serious phase OF the fighting
between the military and strikers Ia
at an end, but there are still isolated
attacks in the suburbs. At Baluty Sum
day morning Cossacks attacked Jew
ish family Of five persons who were
driving in a cab to the railway station
and shot and killed all, including the
cabman.
At Pabjanice, near LODI, workmen
attacked two policemen and shot and
killed one and wounded the other.
There is a general exodus from LODI.
Two thousand persons have already
left and all trains are crowded.
During the disturbances 30 govern
ment liquor stores were destroyed BY
the mobs, which appropriated all the
cash and stamps found on the premises.
The cash and stamps wsEe added to the
funds of the socialist party.
The workmen in all the factories Will
strike Monday. Some prominent cit
liens Sunday morning telegraphed Gen.
Shustow, commanding the troops here.
asking for protection against the bru-
tally Of the soldiers and especially
the Cossacks, who in one instance Kill
ed and robbed the servant OF q Million
aire named Rosenblatt, who was car
rying 5000 to the bank. The general
promised to punish the offenders but
said he required witnesses to testify
against the Cossacks.
St. Petersburg, June 26.-Beyond the
bare announcement that firing was
again heard Saturday night in the Jew
ish quarter at Lode and that the Jews
are leaving the city in great numbers
there is almost nothing known about
the situation at Lodz and the develop
ments Of Saturday and Sunday Even
an adequate estimate Of the magnitude
of Fridays fierce struggle in the streets
and the extent of the casualties can not
be obtained here as practically all tel
egrams except brief and unsatisfactory
messages to the agencies are held up
by the internal censorship. The news
papers are without information and
Gen. Trepoof's adjutant told the AS
ISOLATED press that the chancellarle OF
police had nothing to communicate
Ambassador Meyer is also without
news, though American consuls are
under orders to telegraph immediate
happenings of importance in their dis
tricts.
The lack Of information prevented
any manifestation Of feeling on the
part of vorkmen Of st. Petersburg,
many of whom are in sympathy with
social revolutionary doctrines and for
the same reason there is little discus
sion In the clubs and cafes, most OF the
people not being aware that anything
unusual is happening in Poland. !.
When the details become known 1t
may be expected that the news Will
create the deepest impression In all
industrial sections Of Russia and bring
about disorders which would be par
ticularly unfortunate coming Just at
this juncture when the government Is
bending every effort to induce the
people to be patient and to await the
issuance of a ukase announcing the
convocation Of national assembly,
the proclamation regarding which can
not be long delayed. The date for the
convocation was some time ago ten
tatieely fixed for June %, but the final
revision of the project is taking long
er than had been expected and the
ukase will probably have to be post
poned.
In Poland itself the events at Lode
may initiate an era Of open resistance
to the troops lasting for months. Be
sides Lodz, Warsaw, Kalisch. Petrak-
ovk and others manufacturing centers
have been on the verge Of anarchy
for several months and disturbances
similar to those at Lodz on a greater
or smaller scale are to be feared where
ever and whenever military conditions
give the slightest encouragement
