Trample ON Them with Their Horses.
Despite the granting of a constitu-
ton by Emperor Nicholas, the fires of
revolution are spreading over the Rus
sian empire. Radicals, distrustful of
the Cars pledge. insist on the estab-
lishment of a republic. Hundreds
have been slain in desperate conflicts
between troops and revolutionaries in
a score of places.
At Kharkov 400 persons have been
killed and more than 1000 wounded
in street battles. In street fights at
Odessa between students and work
men and the police and troops fully
100 persons have been killed and
many scores injured. Mobs begun a
massacre of Jews and pillage of their
shops in Odessa. Thirty-seven per-
sons were slain and eighty-one wound
ed. The mObS are said to have been
melted by the police. Many persons
were killed or wounded on both sides
in a savage conflict between revolu-
tionaries and COssdcks at Kieff.
A mob attempted to storm the pris-
on at Minsk. but was beaten off by
Cossacks. Many were slain or
wounded by the Cossacks' volleys. At
Warsaw conflicts between the soldiers
and poulace are frequent Many per-
sons were killed or wounded. Seven
persons were killed and many wound
ed at Lodz in collisions between the
mobs and troops. Eight persons were
slain and twenty-four wounded at Pa
banice, Russian Poland, when the in
fantry fired on a procession of work
ingmen.
Cossacks Trample People.
The news that Russia had been
granted a constitution created enthu-
siasm in Odessa. All work was sus-
pended and the STREETS were blocked
with cheering crowds. At the town
hall red flag demonstrations were
charged by Cossacks. who caused
their horses to trample on the people.
There was considerable pillaging dur
ing the night on the outskirts of Odes-
sa. which the students, who organized
themselves into a city guard, tried to
prevent MObs of rioters broke loose
in various parts of the city and came
in conflict with the bands of stu
dents, lesulting in much bloodshed.
At I<ieff, the populace seized the
town hall and revolutionary speeches
were being delivered to the crowd
from the balcony when CossacBs APP
peared. Some of the people inside the
building We're armed and a regular
engagement followed, resulting in
many being killed or wounded on both
sides. The Cossacks finally routed the
crowd and captured the building
After dark the Jewish quarter was
sacked. The Cossacks while passing
the Office of the Otkliki, a liberal pa
per, fired three volleys at the building
Conflicts in Warsaw.
Disorders continue throughout War
saw Conflicts between the popuIace
and soldiers are frequent. The au-
thorities are charged with ignoring the
imperial manifesto and general de
preston prevails everywhere. There
is a complete deadlock in business
and traffic The streets and squares
are full of troops. The people at
tempting to organize street meetings
are promptly dispersed by bayonet
charges.
Everywhere the announcement of
the issuing of the manifesto granting
Russia a constitution aroused the peo-
pie to a high pitch of enthusiasm,
but everywhere the pOpulace was di-
vided into two camps, as in ST Pc
tersburg-those who accepted the
boon of freedom with intense JOY. and
who are now denominated loyalists,
and the extreme radicals. under the
leadership of the students, social dem
ocrats and revolutionary organiza-
tons, who used the opportunity to
preach the complete overthrow of the
government.
Students and social democratic lead
ers who continue to declare that moth
ing but a democratic republic will suf-
flee are using every means in their
power to keep up the enthusiasm and
drive the people into armed collisions
with the troops.
