Pillage and Murder.
St. Petersburg, June 15-The latest
dispatches from BialystOk report sit
uation Of the utmost gravity. The anti
Jewish outbreak there was still raging,
fighting was in progress in the streets;
the firing was continuous; the best
stores in the city had been sacked, and
many persons were dead or wounded.
Figures, however, were not given, and
probably the casualties are not known
in Bialystok, owing to the continuance
OF the disorders.
The signal for the outbreak, which
apparently was deliberately planned,
perhaps as a counter stroke for the
murder of Chief of Police Derkatchoff
on June 10, which was attributed to
Jewish bundists, is given as the ex-
plosion of a bomb during a religious
procession. This was followed by re-
vOlver tusillades in several quarters of
the city.
Police Are Inactive,
The police are said not to have at
tempted to interfere in the early stages
of the riot
The Jews, who number three-fourths
of the population OF the city, offered
the best resistance possible, many of
them being armed, but were unable to
prevent the pillaging of their homes
and places of business.
Several members of parliament re-
ceived messages from Jewish corre-
spondents at Bialystok declaring that
the police apparently had given over
the Hebrew population to slaughter
and r1llage. These correspondents
urgel that the only hope was in an ap-
peal to the ministers of the interior to
interfere in their behalf A delegation
Of deputies immediately called at the
headquarters of the police department
where they were informed that all
measures possible had been taken to
stop excuses and restore order
