The Jews In Bialystok and Suburbs Suffer-Rumors of a Political
 Upheaval

Bialystok, Russia The an- ti-Jewish riots in this city and sub urbs have caused great loss of life. The mob numbered thousands, and the Jews were huddied in the forests and guarded by the military. All the Jewish shops were ruined. Jews con cealed in buildings fired on workmen and peasants in streets, killing many. Military law has been proclaimed Blame is laid on the government, who allowed hundreds of black hand tele- grams to be sent out al the instance of Gen. Trepoff, appealing to the pas sions of the mob against the Jews.
 In places it is said that s is offered for the killing of Jew. s2 for wound ing one and sf for killing a mele Jew babe. Peasants are arm1ng themselves with the expectation of getting rich.

 St. Petersburg-There Is a feeling that a revolutionary outbreak is immi nent throughout the empire It has been demonstrated that the army Is willing to kill Jews, but will not shoot peas ants. A deadlock is on between the government and the douma. The essen tial facl established by the douma com. mittee's inquiries at Bialystok is that the department of political police of the empire, which was separated from the ministry of the interior while Gen Trepoff was governor of St. Peters burg, retains it's separate expense with ample resources and freedom of action. It's agents act independently of the ministry of the interior, which has no power to dismiss them. Their ultimate headquarters is at Peterhof and Gen. Trepoff is their vigilant chief

 Military Stations.

London, June.-William Field a member of Parliment for St. Patrick's division of Dublin. and champion of the British meat dealers. who has been so actively questioning the min. isters for the last week, in reply to further question in the house. elicit ed the information from War Secre- tary Haldane that an American firm long established in the London meat market holds contracts to supply meat 10 three military stations in the United Kingdom.
