EASTER PASSES

LESS RELIGIOUS FERVOR
Revolutionary Propaganda
Affects Former Blind
Devotion to the Church

ST. PETERSBRG, April 15.-The Easter
festival, the anniversary of the Jewish
massacres at Kishenev and other, places,
happily was not marred this year, so far
as was reported up to midnight by anti
Jewish eXcesses. The measures taken by
the central government and the orders
sent to the provincial authorities to take
every precaution, with the added warn
ing that they would be held personally
responsible for outbreaks, apparently
were effective. though the danger will not
be over until the Easter holidays shall
have passed.
The high church feast was celebrated
today in the usual fashion-with much
eating and drinking and the exchange of
the kiss of peace. Some slackening in the
old religious fervor was noticeable. es-
pecially in st. Petersburg. This is attrib-
uted to the revolutionary propaganda
which, in striking at the roots of the
state, touched also blind devotion to the
church.
TIFLIS. April 15.-In an encounter in
the outskirts of Tifiis today between a
band of Tartar brigands who have
been committing depredations al
most within the city andN a
squadron of dragons, the troops
killed two and mortally wounded four of
the Tartars. the others escaping. A
squadron of Cossacks, which surprised
another band in the village of Jevapshis,
captured four of the leaders. Four Cos
sacks were killed in this encounter and
after the bandits had been lodged in
prison they were killed by the Cossacks.
TANGIER, April 15-Grave anti-Jewish
manifestations took place here today, dur
ing which the Jews were threatened with
death. The agitators paraded the streets
and afterward hanged and burned effigies
