proclamation giving notice to all per-
sons that they must abstain from inter-

election laws are enforced; that they must
prevent fraudulent ballots from being cast

ganization is charging that the police are
in politics; that they will intimidate voters;

LONDON, Nov. 6.--The St. Petersburg
Correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
claims to possess ample documentary evil
dence that the anti-Jewish riots had moth
ing to do with the manifesto granting a
constitution, but we're systematically or
ganized weeks ago by persons claiming to
be partisans of the aristoeracy, who OBJ
tanned recruits from among the offscour-
ings OF society. The PRONUNCIATION OF the
constitution and the attendant demonstra-
lions, says the correspondent, afforded a
welcome opportunity for the execution Of
this nefarious scheme.
Dispatches TO the Daily Telegraph and
the Daily Mail confirm the horrible nature
Of the anti-Jewish attacks at Odessa and
estimate the dead and wounded at thou
sands. They state that General Kaulbars
proclaimed that anyone found looting would
be summarily shot. Jews seeking to escape
were dragged out of trains and murdered.
They we're chased even over the roofs OF
houses and killed. while persons suspected
Of harboring Jews were roughly handled.
The Daily Nails Bucharest correspon-
dent asserts that the revolutionaries in
Kishinen seized artillery from the troops
and bombarded Jewish shops and houses.
The railway, says the correspondent, was
in possession OF the rioters so that escape
was impossible. The city was completely
sacked and partly destroyed by q FIRE. A
provisional republican government, adds the
correspondent has been established.
