'My scalp was covered with little
pimples> and l suffered tortures from
the itching. 1 was scratching all day

washed my head with hot water and
Cuticura Soap and then applied the

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. g.
bulletin. president Roosevelt has de-
cided that no action can be taken by this
government at present which will be of
any benefit to the Jews of Russia.
Shows Little Improvement.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 6.-The
news from the interior shows that there
has been little improvement in the situa-
ton. In some places disorders have re-
commenced with redoubled fury.
In the Caucasus the Tartars and Rus
slams are cutting each others throats,
and the Armenians are giving themselves
up to pillage and incendiarism.
More Jews Massacred.
From Bachmut, Bessarabia, comes an
entirely new revolving tale. A three
days attack on the Jews began Thurs
day, with every indication of police or
ganization. Troops arrived on the scene,
but the following day the work Of pill
lage was resumed before the eyes Of the
soldiers and police.
The prayers of the hunted Jews for
mercy were unavailng. Toward noon
the torch was applied to stores and
houses. The police would not permit the
Jews TO eXtinguish the fire. Then the
pillage began afresh.
Breaks Out Once More.
1t was stopped temporarily Saturday
morning through the efforts of the Rus
sian peasants, but the police spread false
reports, which aroused the mob, and
there was a renewal of the work of plum
der and massacre. The losses are said
to be in the millions of dollars.
A telephone message from Moscow
says the Jews are terror-stricken with
fear OF a massacre there. Many of
them have abandoned their lodgings and
are sleeping in the houses of friends
Finland Is Excited.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 6.-The i'm
perial manifesto meeting most of the
demands Of the Films arrived at Hell
singsfors last night. The constitutional
ISIS are satisfied and the Socialists who
threatened to make a demonstration
have thus far been quiet.
From Elizabethpot, in Caucasia,
comes the report that the Mussulman
population has organized manifestations
in honor of the imperial constitutional
manifesto. The orators called on the
population to cease all national hatred.
Odessa Dead Nearly 6ooo
The troops at Tomsk, Siberia, today
were forced to charge with bayonets

many were wounded. The city is half

INCREASE GUN POWDER.
Naval Board Submits Recommendation
to Secretary Bonaparte for
Larger Battleships.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 6.-The
sentiment in favor of larger warships
with increased gun power will result in
an appeal to Congress to increase the
two battleships authorized by act Of
March last, to $4,000 tons.
The general board of the navy, of
which Admiral Dewey is head, has sub
mitted to Secretary Bonaparte a recon-
mendation for a naval increase pro,
gramme. 1t is understood that the gen
eral board has recommended the con-
structlon of battleships of greater ton
mage than any yet projected for the
American navy.
Larger Guns for Vessels.
One of the principal objects of bigger
battleships is the installation of a great
er number of the largest sized guns car.
RED by American men of war. If Con.
gress favOrS an increase in tonnage OF
the two battleships authorized last
March to $4,000 tons, one of the prob
lens to be solved will be the disposition
OF the large number of Pinch guns.
The biggest battleships now building
carry but four Pinch guns, supplement.
ed by a number of S-inch and finch
guns.
Speed Is Not Important
In discussing the question of arma,
ment one expert expressed the opinion
that the speed of the vessels is not SC
important a consideration. Battleships
are made to fight and not to run. With
a battery of the biggest guns pouring
forth shells of the greatest size from
every quarter, he said, it would not be
necessary to develop such great speed
except in pursuit of an enemy.
The raoOnmaO5 do iouc IUbiob atar ,y
Bonaparte will make in the matter OF
increases for the navy are awaited with
much interest The fact that so many
new ships will be added to the navy dur.
ing the coming year makes the question
of an adequate personnel one Of serious
consideration, If the present policy Of
keeping all the ships of the navy in con-
ditiOn for immediate service is to be
maintained. When the battleships and
armOred cruisers now under cOnStruc-
ton are placed in commission a much
larger number of enlisted men will be
required as we'll as several hundred ad
ditional officers. The new battleships
call for something like 2S2 officers and
5490 enlisted men, while the four ar
mOred cruisers call for an aggregate OF
162 officers and 3206 men.
Large Amount for Coast Defenses.
Sixteen million dollars will be neces-
sary to complete the engineering work of
Notifications of the seacoasts Of the
United States.
The has already been appropriated for
this purpose S2S,693, 434. Permanent
projects at thirty-one different points
have been adopted. and most of them
are well under way.
