Odessa, Nov. IA reign Of terror,
which can be compared with nothing
except that which prevailed during
the awful days of the French revolu-
ton, has existed here all day. From
the earliest hours of the morning until
the present writing anarchy has stalked
unchsllenged through the blood
drenched streets, leaving in it's wake
q trail Of bloodshed and pillage. Kish-
ineff, with all its horrors, did not be-
gin to approach the catastrophe Of to-
day.
Mobs numbering thousands, com
posed Of the very toughest element of
the city, "hooligans' and outcasts.
criminals of all descriptions, who in
times Of ordinary events dare not show
their faces on the streets, have been
numbering and plundering at will.
The only restraining influence Of the
whole city was that exerted by the vol
unteer militia, composed principally
of students, and the reward Of their
brave attempt to preserve the lives Of
the Jews, the principal victims of the
attacks of the mob, has been to die
themselves. Tonight hundreds Of
bodies lie unnnoticed in the streets.
Jews and students are not aple to relax
their Vigilance even to bury their fall
len comrades.
All the horrors Of war with savages
have been brought home to the inhab.
itants Of the distressed city. Women
and children have been mercilessly cut
down, as we'll as men, and their bodies
mutilated.
War on Jews.
To exterminate the Jews has been
the aim Of the mob. In this attempt
they have been assisted by former po-
licemen disguised as workmen. These
have been the real leaders Of the mobs.
Booty and spoils Of warfare have been
carted off from the wrecked stores and
ruined residences in vans. to the river
front. There the booty has been stored
and now remains piled high all over
the place. All day long, heavy wag-
ons, loaded to OVERLOOKING, have made
their way through the streets toward
the waterfront, carrying spoils; the
hospitals are OVERLOOKING and tempo
rary Red Cross headquarters were es-
tablished at convenient points. To
these stations the injured are taken.
It is estimated that fully fifty wagon
loads of injured men, women and chill
dren have been brought'to the hospi-
tails during the day. The dead were
left where they fell, to be removed
when restoration Of order will permit.
The fury Of the mob has burst all
bounds. The "hooligans" swear they
will not desist until every Hebrew in
the city is dead. Neither women nor
children have been shown the slight
est mercy. All this has gone on I'M.
der the eyes of the police and author
tiles. Not an effort was made until
late this evening to take even step
toward ending the reign Of anarchy.
Odessa, Nov. 3.-The city is quieter
this morning with the military occupa-
ton of the town. Martial law restric.
tions were put into effect during the
night. Disorders were in full progress
when the military appeared on the
scene and fighting between the Jews
and "hooligans" was at its height, but
the "loyslists'' disappeared as if by
magic after the regular soldiers came.
A volunteer infantry of students then
made tour Of the city, disarming ev-
cry "loyalist" encountered and gather
ing in the weapons Of these marauders.
Over 5000 revolvers were collected in
this way. How these revolvers and
the large amount Of ammunition with
which they we're supplied came into
the hands of the "hooligans" is a
question which demands solution.
There is little doubt, however, that
the revolt was organized by the bureau

the arms as its last stand against grant.

fully 1900 occurred in the Jewish

St. Petersburg, Nov. All is quiet
here. There is no attempt at holding
professions, and the Cossaok patrols
are everywhere. Shops have been
barricaded and railway communioa-
ton with the frontier has been restor-
ed. The electric lighting plant has
again been put in operation and the
newspapers appeared this morning.
Count Witte is having trouble in
forming cabinet on account Of the
lack of liberal support. Senator Koni
has refused the portfolio of Justice, and
