IN TURBULENT RUSSIA.
Authorities At Odessa Finally Suppress
MObs Of Armed Rioters.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 3.-The ma.
ttonal holiday today in celebr alton OF
the anniversary of the emperor's &C.
cession to the throne was marked by
the formal raising Of the general strike
In st. Petersburg. While the railroad
strike has not been declared of, many
OF the railroad men are returning to
work and trains are being gotten
through. The populace is calmer, but
deplorable rioting in the provinces IL
still In progress, especially in the
south.
The most horrible stories of massa.
Gre and pillage by mobs and attacks
upon Jews continue to pour in. The
news Of Odessa is meager, but enough
has been received to show that the
city for time was practically in the
hands of the mob. The numb bers
killed or wounded are not definitely
estimated, but the London report th at
5000 were killed or wounded is un.
doubtedly very great exaggeration.
LONDON, Nov. 3.--The Stand ard =
correspondent at Odessa says: With
In three hours of the declaration OF
martial law, which came to the un,
speakable relief of peaceful citizens,
no fewer than 5000 ruff ianly 10y alist .
had been disarmed by the students
and military. How some $4,000 arti.
san rowdies became possessed of re.
volvers and an abund ance of cart
ridges is question requiring solu.
tion. The rigorous cnrfew law is
welcomed as deliverance from the
terrors of the last two days. Any one
iu the streets after nightfall Is liable
to arrest: any one appe airing at open
windows or on balconies risks being
shot without warning,

A CARNIVAL OF MURDER.
The Odessa Rioters Butehered Thousands
Of Jewish Citizens.

ODESSA, Nov. Sit is believed that
the worst is over. Owing to the mobs
being satisfied with two days carni.
val OF murder and destruction by
flames, the revolt against law and
order Is diving down, partially. per.
haps, because Of lack Of material
upon which to prey. Almost the en-.
tire jewish quarters are devast ated j,
and other inhabitants have either
been killed or wounded or have sought
refuge In other sections of the town.
The whole fury Of the mob was di.
rected against the Jews. During the
first demonstration over the EN-.
peror's manifesto and sudden acquisi.
tion OF freedom, tens Of thous auds OF
men, who had hated the Jews through
generations, became drunk with the
desire for Jewish blood, CIV armed into
the Jewish sections of the town and
killed for the very Joy OF killing.
The casualties in Saturdays dis.
turbances exceeded lao. and those OF
the preceding three days, which have
been verified, numbered nearly 5000.
The plundering continued early this
morning in the outlying districts, but
today the city was relatively calm,
though the population is still anxious
The latest accounts Of devastation Ia
the Jewish quarter added horrors to
the stu alton. Besides numerous mills
all of the bakery shops and nearly 6OO
homes have been destroyed. The Jews
killed In almost every instance were
treated with revolving barbarity
Heads were battered with hammers;
nails were driven into the bodies,

cred. Many bodies were disemboweled
and In some cases petroleum was
poured over the sick found hiding in
cellars and they we're burned to death.
1t Is alleged that the police aud sol.
diers everywhere marched at the head
of the mobs, melting them to destroy
the Jews by crying, "the Jews have
killed our emperor" aud similar ex.
pressions. While the mobs were en-.
gagged In the slaughter the soldiers
busted themselves pillagiug the cash
and jewels, leaving the household
goods for the mobs.

Prince Louie At Banquet.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Rear Ad-
miral Prince Louis was the guest of
the American army today. Tonight
he was the guest At formal state
dinner In the dining room OF the
White house, where the president had
distinguished party to present to
Britain's admiral prince. The health

president. .....
AS the first health was drunk the

the King" as the health of King Ed.
ward was drunk. Admiral Prince

"Next to their loyalty to their
king" the prince said, ''cvery Brit.

the president next"
They had, he said, a peculiar affec.
tion and esteem for Roosevelt, both
for the president and Theodore Roose.
velt, the man. Wherever the English
language was spoken this sentiment
prevailed. The prince then thanked
the American officers, army and navy,
for the hospitality and courtesy which
he and his officers were receiving.
From the luncheon, accompanied by
General Chaffee and a number OF the
guests, the prince. his personal staff
and his commanding officers drove to

CAUSE FOR GRATITUDE.
President Proelalms Thuryday November
80. As Day Of Thanks giving.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The presi'
dent today Issued his proclaim alton
naming Thursday, November 30. a. a
day for thanksgiving. The proclama'
tion follows:
"By the president of the United
States. q proclamation:
"When, nearly three centuries ago
the first settlers came to the country
which has now become this great re.
public, they faced not only hardship
and priv alton, but terrible risks ia
their lives. In those grim years the
custom grew OF setting apart one day
in each year for special service ot
thanksgiving TO the Almighty for pre-
serving the people through the chang
ing seasons. The custom has now be.
come national and hallowed by i'm.
memorial usage.
"We live in easier and more plenti.
full times than our forefathers, the
men who. with rugged strength. faced
the rugged days; and yet the dangers
to national life are quite as grea,
now as at any previous time in our
history. 1t is eminently fitting that,
once a year. our people should set
apart a day for praise and thanks.
giving to the Giver of good, and, al
the same time, that they express their
thankfulness for the abundant mercies
received, should manfully acknowl.
edge their shortcomings and pledge
themselves solemnly and in good faith
to strive to overcome them.
''During the past year we have been
blest with bountiful crops. Our bust.
ness prosperity has been great. No
other people has ever stood on as
high level of material well-being az
ours now stands. We are not threat
ened by foes from without. The foes
from whom we should pray to be de.
ltvered are our passions, appetites and
follies; and against these there is al.
ways need that we should warn.
Therefore, I now set apart Thurs.
day, the 30th day of November, as q
day of thanksgiving for the past and
OF prayer for the future, and on that
day ask that, throughout the ceun-
try. the people gather in their homes
and places of worship, and rendering
thanks unto the Most High for the
manifold blessings of the past year.

PACKERS CLAIM IMMUNITY.
They Allege That Indictment Is Based
Upon Evidence In Garfield Report.

CHICAGO. Nov. 2.-Complete immu.

Ing Indictment returned by the federal
grand jury several months ago is
claimed by J. Ogden Armour and the
other defenda ant packers and agents
charged with being promoters of the
so'called "beef trust,' in an addition.
al plea in bar fled this morning by
Attorney John S. Miller, the packers
representative.
This nea plea, which was q complete
surprise to the government, sets up as
facts that, when Commissioner Car
field, Of the department of commerce
and labor, investigate the beef busi-
ness, he promised the packers that
whatever documentary evidence they
voluntarily produced, the defend ants
should have the same rights, indemni.
ties and immunities as II they had tes-
titled under oath and compulsion.
Under this plea, Attorney Miller
hopes to establish the fact that there
was an agreement between the packers
and the government that they should
testify and produce evidence without
being subpoenaed or the oath being
administered, but that, as far as i'm.
munity was concerned, 1t should be
considered as II they had been subpoe.
naed and took the oath.

tween Secretary Garfield and the pack
ers was surprise to District Attorney
Morrison and Assistant Attorney Gen.

that Secretary Garfield has been asked
concerning exactly what occurred du.

business.
The plea alleges that the testimony
