Anti-semitic Disturbances.

News of anti-semitic disorders in the
Crimea show that they we're on larger
scale than the first reports indicated.
At Melitopol the people set upon Jews
and fought a regular battle with stones
and revolvers. The few police and
thirty soldiers in the town were power
less When the Jews fed, defeated,
the Christians, from noon until mid.
night, held a carnival Of pillage and
plumber Every shop except two jew
ery stores was sacked, the crowd only
dessting when exhausted. The number
of killed or wounded is not given.
At the village of Orlofisky, in the
Crimea, the rioting took the form of an
attack upon the Baptists. The peasants,
under the direction of the village author
tiles, directed an assault upon the
church. No one is reported to have
been killed.
Great excitement has teen created at
Tiraspol, Russia, by story TO the effect
that tweIve-year-old boy named Ro-
mashko had been enticed into q cave by
Jews, who opened his breast and took a
pint of blood for use in the rite known
as the blood atonement. The peasants
began to talk of making an anti-Jewish
crusade, but trouble was avoided by a
prompt investigation made by the local
authorities, who discovered that the boy
told the story in obedience to peasant
who harbored a grudge against the Jews.

neral of Gen. Fitzhugh LIE, in Rich

mains of the general were laid to rest in

and it sook every minute of the four
hours allowed to the ceremonies 10 move
the masses of troops and carriages and
to conduct the services at church and
grave. The troops formed on Broad

passing in review in font of the church.
They were followed by the specially
invited and distinguished guests in car

sinai.

The Russian Fleet.

London, May ga private telegram
received here today from Singapore says
that Admiral Nebogatoff's Russian
squadron, when sighted this morning,
was going very fast in an easterly direc-
ton. Admiral Nebogatoff is expected
to proceed to Saigon for provisions and
coal before sailing for Admiral Rojeot-
vensky's rendezvous.
st. Petersburg, May 5.-AccordiDg to
a report heard in admiralty circles, Adj
miral Rojestvensky has sailed south to
effect junction with the vessels of Rear
Admiral Nebogatof's squadron, which
entered the China Sea today. This ac-
ton has been taken, it is said, because
the Russians have been informed that
Admiral Togo had sent a number of
cruisers for the purpose Of disabling Ne
bogatof's feet before it could join Ro-
lestyensky. According 10 this report,
the japanese vessels were watching Sun
da Strait, between the islands of Sumatra
and Java, through which Nebogatof in
tended to sail. The Russian commander
discovered this, and returned to the
north and passed through the Strait of
Malacca. Rojestvensky in sailing south

The Nan Patterson Case.


New York, May 5.-Nan Patterson
must remain in prison for some days at
least although it is the general opinion
that the District Attorney will decide 10
release her on bail. Mr.. Jerome will
not return to New York until Monday
while Mr. Rand is also out of town for a
few days. 1t looks now as III consulta-
ton of the District Attorney and his
subordinates will be held on Monday, and
that the future of the girl will then
be decided.
Lawyer Levy, leading counsel for Miss
Patterson, appeared at the District At
torneys Office today, but found no one
there with authority TO act in the girls
case. Mr.. Levy thinks that only nom-
inal bail will be required for Miss Pat
terson, and that her release is only a
question Of few days.
Miss Patterson's lawyers believe that
the indictment against the girl will be
quashed very soon after her release.
While Miss Patterson's condition is
improved today she is still Ill and suffer-
ing.
Miss PattersoD's father and two of her
lawyers visited her today.
1t is almost positively known that the
jury stood to 4, for acquittal. A jury
man whose name, of course, cannot be
given. says the jury so stood on the final
ballot. He added:
"No member of the jury believed
Young shot himself. Every member of
the jury did believe that Miss Patterson
shot him through an accidental bluff.
Those favoring an adverse verdict were
bound to some extent by the manner OF
living of the defendant. Murder in the
first degree was never considered for an
instant. Those who remained firm in
their belief of the girls's guilt desired
no severer punishment than manslangh-
ter in the second degree"
Judge Foster, in general sessions, this
morning, quashed the indictment for
conspiracy against J. Morgan Smith and
his wife. The judge, i'll making his de-
cisicn known, took occasion to score the
grand jury that found the indictment,
and indirectly he hitat District Attorney
Jerome for methods used in handling
this end of the case Judge Foster says
that there was no evidence in the minutes
of the grand jury showing conspiracy on
the part of the defendants.
Nothing has been definitely decided
regarding Miss Patierson's future. Dan
iel O'Reilly, one Of her counsel, said
this morning she would probably 60
back to the stage. He says the actress
has received scores of offers. but so faI
she had considered none of them. "Sht
has no money" Mr.. o. Reilly declared,
"and must earn her living. The only
thing she is fitted for is the stage"
Albany, N. Y, May 5.-District At
torney Jerome said today that he will
not decide as to whether or not he will
retry Nan Patterson until he returns tC
New York on Monday. Mr.. Jerome Is
here ia the interest of certain legis-
lation which he hopes will be enacted to-
| day.

FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 8, 1905.

THR STRIKE situation in Chicago,
rreyjously serious, has been rendered
more 80 by race issue which has been
brought about by the introduction OF ne
oroe, into the city as strike-breakers.
"Neyer trust negro with gun has
lone been a maxim of southern people,
and il would have been well if the people
Of Chicago had acted upon it. There is
reason TO believe that some blacks who
have been armed in Chicago have not
exercised discretion, but have abused
the privileges of self-defense extended
them and have used pistols, bricks ana
bludgeons too freely and unnecessarily.
The race issue now cOmplicates the sill
nation. and this is likely to become one
of the gravest questions in connection
with the struggle. Over 900 non-unlon
negro drivers have been imported
from southern points, and so reck-
less has been their behavior in many
instances that even the leading men,
bers Of the Employers Association
express regret that their services we're
ever asked. Yesterday afternoon all
agents who are sending in strike breakers
we're notified by telegraph to send no
more negroes, and the employers are
considering means to get rid of the ne
groes that are now there. The manner
in which the negroes have been display
ed is largely responsible for the outburst
AGAINST them. From the varions rail-
road stations they have been marched
in semi-military array through the streets
n the barns of the teaming companies,
most of them carrying heavy hickory
bludgepns, and scores of them dis
nlaving the butts of their revolvers
from their pockets. AT first the
street crowds viewed these march
ing companies with amusement but
since 80 or 40 of the negroes have
fired their revolvers at random INTO
crowds of strike sympathizers, wounding
many innocent persons, the popular ieel-
ING has turned to resentment toward
them. and when company OF them
was marching toward the stables OF The
EMPLOYERS leaning Association yester-
day it was hooted along the whole route
people who had no interest in or against
the strike crying out; "Send the blacks
away, fight white men with white mem
The police authorities were quick to
notice this drift of popular sentiment
and have advised the employers that II
they do not wish to run the danger OF
precipitalipg race riots and serious mob
violence the negroes should be gotten
rid of at once.

The Chicago Strike.

Sheriff Thomas E. Barrett, of Cook
county, will take active control of the
strike situation in Chicago today. So
much pressure has been brought to bear
on him and on Mayor Dunno by business
men, who believe their interests to be
seriously imperiled by the constant riot
ing in the streets, that the sheriff has
sworn in large force of deputies, and
he will take active steps to do away with
the present disorder. Two hundred dep

ternoon at the Office of Sheriff Barrett,
and it is expected that 1000 deputies
will have been enrolled by tomorrow
