st. Petersburg-Though Nov.
passed in comparative quiet in st.
Petersburg and Moscow, a food OF
dispatches from all parts Of the en-
pire report disorders in many cities
with heavy total of dead or wounded.
The people while celebrating their
new-found freedom were in many in
stances set upon by Cossacks and
police, while in other localities the
spirit of mob violence broke forth and
the lower elements of the population
gave themselves up to pillage and de-
stIuction.
The most serious disorders appar-
emily occurred at Odessa where hun
dreds of persons are reported to have
been killed or wounded and where the
riotlng is momentarily expected to
flare out into repetition of and
slaughter of last July, and at Kazan,
where a three-days' reign of terror
was ended only by the retirement of
all Cossacks to their barracks.
deplorable feature OF the news
from the interior Is that anti-Jewish
uprisings have occurred In many
places, especially in south Russia,
where the populace vented its hatred
Of the Jews by sacking their stores
and clubbing the members of the
race, in some cases resorting to the
torch.
The attacks on the crowds are re-
ported to be in most cases the work
of Cossacks. who many times were
apparently let loose upon the people
without direction or authority.
Meanwhile the socialists and revo-
lutionists, who believe they have the
government stampeded, are bending
every effort to keep the movement go
ing. and precipitate a catastrophe
from which they hope sociallstc re-
public will emerge.
Count Witte is doing his utmost to
meet the chief objections against the
new regime, in addition to the prom
ised amnesty for political prisoners
Against the demand for the removal
of Gen. Trepoff, Count Witte, however,
is inhexble. He informed delega-
tion from the strike committee, which
called on him to demand the
release of their imprisoned comrades
and the removal of Gen. Trepoff, that
It would be madness for him to dis
miss the only man capable of main
tanning order in the city at the present
juncture.
The st. Petersburg railroad men
have resolved to continue their strike,
declaring they have assurances that
the soldiers of the railroad battalion
will desert If little persuasion In
the shape of traln-wrecking is en-
ployed.
In st. Petersburg Gen. Trepoff, in
accordance with his announcement
prevented the resumption of revolu-
tionary demonstrations by having the
crowds dispersed whenever and wher-
ever they gathered. Kazan place and
the Nevsky prospect were several
times cleared by Cossacks and pol
Ice, and the crowds were driven from |
the vicinity of the university with
whips and the fats of sabers. Gen.
Trepoff was aided by the weather, |
which was cold and rainy, and which |
kept many people off the streets.
Crowds in an attempt to storm the |
prison at Minsk were beaten off by |
Cossacks, who fired several volleys at |
the mob. Many persons were killed
or wounded.
During the rioting at Tver the gov
ernor and mayor, with the aid Of the |
city employees, barricaded themselves
inside the city hall to prevent the |
ingress Of the mob. Dragons were |
but they were fought off |
by the mob, which set fire to the |
building. The tro"ps eventually OBJ
tanned the upper hand. The hospitals |
are filed with wounded.
Troops fred on the crowds during |
the manifestations at Kishineff In eel |
ebration of the granting of the consti-
tuition.
A mob surrounded the prison at
Poltava and howled for the release
of the political prisoners, They were
driven of by Cossacks and infantry, |
who fired several volleys. Many per
sons were killed or wounded.
There were anti-Jewish demonstra-
tions at Kherson for two days. A mob
armed with clubs pillaged the Jewish |
stores and houses, burning a number
Of them.
Many school children were among |
the wounded at Kazan Oct 81. Dur
ing the night Cossacks and police
broke into and gutted a number OF
stores.
A crowd of 10000 persons gathered
IN the prison square at Rostoffon- Don
today, and demanded the release Of
the political prisoners. In response %
men were released, but the more i'm
portant prisoners were retained in
custody.
