.REACTIONISTS HAVE
NOT BEEN DEFEATED
Evidence Shows They Have
Only Been Checked.
M. WlTTE TOOK PRECAUTIONS

M. WITTE TOOK PRECAUTIONS
Privately Asked Jewish Leaders to No
tify Him When Jewish inhabitants
Were Threatened in Order that He
Might Take Steps to Protect Them.
st. Petersburg, March 17.-There is
already evidence that only check and
not defeat has been administered to
the reactionists who are conducting
the anti-Semitic agitation. Premier
Witte, after he had forced a decision
of the cabinet to suppress the agita-
tion, knowing the audacity of his op-
ponents, took the precaution privately
to ask the Jewish leaders to notify
him Immediately whenever the Jewish
inhabitants in any locality were threat.
ened in order to place him in a posi-
ton to insist that measures be taken
to protect them.
The Jewish leaders, however, now
charge that the reactionaYy clique
with the connivance of sympathetic
local gOvernor-generals, are bodily ar
sanging to block such warnings. The
leaders claim to have proof that or
ders have been given at special places,
specifically citing Vitebsk, West Rus
STA, not to transmit messages to the
premier warning him of the imminence
OF the trouble. 1t is further charged,
but proof is lacking, that this was
done with the knowledge of interior
minister, NJ Durnovo. 1t has been
established that Count Podgerichanie,
chief of the gendarmie of Gomel, in
West RussiOn, who armed a mob
there, while ostentatiously dismissed
by M. DurnOvo, was in reality only
transferred to better post at Yalta,
Crimea
In spite of the official denial of the
shooting Of undesirable refugees sent
back to Russia from England, private
information has been obtained tending
partially to support the charge Many
of the refugees were sent TO Baltic
ports, where the authorities are show
the emperor's instructions to display
greater lenienCy. When the refugees
disembarked, having fled from Rus
sia without passports, they were re-
garded as suspects and some of them
were given short shrift

of the Denver and Rio Grande denied
positively having any knowledge Of
such a confession.
1t was stated, however, that the op-
orator had assumed longer shift on
the night of the wreck than was usual

line out its length when the strike
came, and 1t was not many seconds
before it was apparent that there was
a big fish at the other end.
A few minutes later the big fish
went into the air, fifty yards away,
and for a full hour from that time Mr..
Hyde simply held on. Time and again
