TAMPA MAKES A DENIAL.
No False CIassifcatiOns on Imported e~ Tobacco.


 Washington, Oct. sO.-A committee of prominent citizens o! Tampa, Fla, con sisting of Representative s. M. Spark man, former Representative Robert Davis, D. B. Mckay editor of Tam pa newspaper; F. .. Bower. former Mayor and H. c. MsFarlans, called on Secretary Shaw today and presented him a series of resolutions recently adopted by the Tampa Board of Trade, denying emphaticallF certain state ments lately published in tobacco trade Journal in New York, alleging fraudulent classification of Cuban leaf tobacco at Tampa in favor of the Tam pa importers and against the govern ment and against importers at other ports.
 It was also alleged that discrimina- tion had been shown at Tampa in fla vor of importers located in West Tam pa and that manufacturers have been coerced' into buying factory sites from a brother of the collector and that they were subsequently, recouped for their purchase money by fraudulent discrlm- nations in their favor in the classifi- cation of their tobacco importations.
 The Board of Trade in its resolutions and the committee today declared that all these allegations are untrue.
 It was stated that the Tampa Board of Trade for several years has offered valuable inducements to tobacco man. ufacturers to locate there, but its mem- bers deny positively that any improper means have been taken to that end. The resolutions deny that there has been any more liberal classification of Cuban tobacco at Tampa than else where.

Odessa, Oct. 30.--It is impossible to fix even approximately the number of yesterdays victims of the rioting. The officials in charge of the hospitals, cem- eteries and lockups are strictly for bidIen to give the slightest informa- tion.
 The dead and wounded, whose num- bers must be very considerable, have been removed by the police and hidden out of sight of inquirers.
 The infantry, of wh ose loyalty the au- thorities arc doubtful, arc kept in bar racks and the Cossacks and gendarmes who show no disinclination to shoot down people on sight are left to deal with the crowds.
 At one barrica1ed corner yesterday a student on the appearance of the Cossacks mounted barricade and ap- pealed to them to join the people in stead of killing their brothers who were struggling for the freedom of their common country. The Cossacks an swere ed with four volleys, killing nine and wounding about forty persons. Sim liar scenes are occurring everywhere.
 The crowds fleeing before the charg- ing Cossacks invade private houses and hide in garrets and on the roofs. Many private apartments have been convert ed into temper try hospitals for the succor of wounded refugees.

LOAN OFF FOR PRESENT.
Both Sides Agree that Bond Issue Is
 Inopportune at this Time.

St. Petersburg. Oct. 30.-The negotia- tions for the new Russian loan were definitely adjusted at a meeting of f. nanciers today. Both sides agree that 1t would be inopportune to place loan on the foreign markets until the inter nal situation in Russia has changed
 The parting of the foreign bankers and M. Kokovskoff. the financial minis ter was entirely amicable, the former expressing their willingness to return to St. Petersburg and resume the nego- tiations at the ministers invitation.
 During the negotiations M. Koskov- soff told the bankers that it was the in- tention of the government to employ the proceeds of the loan for the H. duidation of the war expenses, the re- storation of the army, etc. and to gene rally restore the status quo antebellum. There is also a tacit agreement to place orders for war ships in the countries participating in the loan.
 The foreign bankers have arranged to leave St. Petersburg in a body on Wednesday by water. A steamer has been chartered for this purpose.
