ST Petersburg, Nov Although
yesterday passed in comparative
quiet in St. Petersburg and Moscow,
food of dispatches from al parts OF
the empire report disorders in many
cities with a heavy total of dead and
wounded. The people while celebrat-
ing their new found freedom were in
many Instances set upon by cossacks
and police, while sometimes the spirit
of mob violence broke fortn and the
lower elements of the population gave
themselves TO pillage and destruction
The most serious disorders appaf-
emily occurred at Odessa, where nun
dreds OF persons are reported killed
or wounded ana where the rloting Is
momentarily expected to flare into
repetition of the Slaughter OF last
Julv. and at kazan, where a three
DAYS reign of terror was ended only
by the retirement of all the cossacks
to their barracks.

from the interior is that anti-Jewish
uprisings have occurred in many
places. especially in south Russia

whose cooperation he counted Many
of these are holding aloof and seem
rather to enjoy the predicament in
which the new premier finds himself.
Think Government Is Stampeded.
Meanwhile the socialists and reyo

going and to precipitate catastrophe
/ fIom which they hope a socialistic re
public will emerge. This is a consum-
majority of liberals, especially the
zemstycists, as by the government Il
self. and therein lies the chief hope
that the force gathering under the
banner of Witte is sufficiently strong

tionary movement and the spirit Of
unrest throughout the country.
Count White is doing his utmost tc
meet the chief objections against the
new regime. In addition to the prom

Whites Theatrical Methods.
