place today surreptitiously in the va rious outlying villages. It is quite inn possible to give the exact number of killed and wounded, as reports vary according to the quarter from which they are obtained. Certainly the kill ed number more than a hundred, pos sibly two hundred, and the wounded tive times as many. An official report says the number of casualties was largely increased by the neglect of persons to remain indoors, and by oth- CTS who insisted on looking out of doors and windows when volleys were being fired upon the rioters by the sol Cliers. Residents of the city say they received no order to remain indoors.
 The present trouble began at Lodz last Tuesday after the funeral of the victims of the conflict between the troops and the terrorists, of the pre- vious Sunday. The Christians were permitted to bury their dead, but the Jews were prohibited from doing so, and the police secretly inferred the bodies of the Jews at night, which ex- cited indignation and the terrorists' riots were initiated on Thursday. The most serious phase of the rioting de- veloped when crowd deliberately pill laged the liquor shops and a number or persons, lIlIldIlGu Dy QIlllh, leu lAlG crowd of at least 5O,OOO to further and more serious attacks. The police and military were attacked wherever they appeared in small force, and many in dividuals were killed.
 After pillaging the liquol shops the ! crowd set fire to them and prevented the firemen from eXtinguishing the bIazes This was repeatedly deliber- ately at many places. On Friday the fury of the mob found full vent, and even children, caught by the contagion, were seen kissing red flags and heard swearing that they were ready to die for liberty. A Jewish girl mounted a box in the market square and address ed an immense crowd.
 i Suddenly the police appeared, fired a volley and the girl fell dead. Market gardeners coming In were stopped and their carts used in building baTricades. , Wires were stretched in >front of these barricades and the cavalry was una ble to charge. Meanwhile the mob had secured arms and revolvers were freely used. Finally, the military se- cured the upper hand, but not without considerable losses to themselves and fearful slaughter to the rioters.
 The soldiers exhibited the utmost carelessness as to whether they killed peaceful persons or rioters, ana as
 consequence many women and chill
 dren were among the dead. The streets
 on Friday resembled a battlefield. The
 houses were barricaded with boards
 and mattresses and for hours vOlleys
 and individual shots were heard in
 every quarter of the city.
 Until late at night the COssacks were
 busy collecting the bodies of the dead
 and picking up persons seriously
 wounded. The bodies were carried of
 in carts to neighboring church yards
 Hence the impossibility of giving ar
 accurate estimate of the dead until or
 der is completely restored, if indeed
 the full story is ever told.
 The terrorists are energetically fo-
 menting agitation among the soldier!
 by distributing revolutionary procla-
 nations and pamphlets but their ef'
 forts are without effect. Shooting wa!
 renewed this evening. The Cossack! are robbing the dead of jewels anC
 money. A factory owner named Neu
 mann has been shot by the strikers
