 Their Parents.

Grodno. Russia. June 20-OwinE to the refusal of the censor at Bialystok to permit the free telegraphing of the result of investigation of the massacre of Jews by the Associated Press there, its correspondent came here. The anti Jewish rioting at Bialystok is now end- ed The troops are in full control and in view of the outcry raised. 1t Is cer- tain that the authorities will not per- init a renewal of the horrors recently witnesses at Bialystok.
 This region s greatly excited owing to fear that the Bialystok massacre was only the signal for general at tack on the Jews throughout the Pale and in Poland, but If any Fucl. conspir- acy existed. it Is too late to carry out the plans as the most imperative orr dars to prev, 1t further outbreaks have been issued to the gov ~nors and gov ernor- generals at St. Petersburg. When the correspondent arrived at Bialystok Sunday morning the worst was already over, but on all sides there was revoltinE evidence of savage bestality on the part of the blood drunken moEfs, which sacked and burn ed the Jewish houses, shops and sto es. For seventy-two hours, with a slight abatement during the day time. the mad orgy of blood and pillage went on unchecked.
 Authorities Urge on Mob.
 The inhumanity displayed would have done credit to the Mongol hordes of Ganghis Khan in his conquest of China and Central Asia early in the thir- teenth century. At first police and troops urged on the mob. but finally. dismayed by the bloody deeds accom- plished, they reluctantly sought to obey the orders of their supertors to put an end to the work of the 1nds of rought who were so far beyond com hal aartvx ant after regiment had to be thrown into the city .-fore order could be re-
 During the riotlng the Jews were hunted down by ferocious pursuors who in many cases were not content with killing the victims but tore them to pieces like wild animals. And while this was in pro-i ess the troops either stood Idly by. or as was more freduentiv the case. fired Into the houses and shops where the Jews were concealed, under the pretext that they believed them to be revolutionists, but really to ka way for the murderers and plum derers who followed in he soldiers wake

 Origin of the Massacre.
 The question of the origin of the mas sacre was carefully investigated AL though many of the Jews denied that a bomb was thrown at the Corpus Christi procession, Thursday, the fact that bomb was thrown is established beyond a doubt, but the question of who threw the bomb remains unsettled The accounts of impartial witnesses, how ever, demonstrate that an insulting cry enraged the Jews, who attacked the religious procession. Then from one end of the city to the other, the police spread the report of the attack. thus flaming the religious fanaticism the Christians and setting loose the worst elements on the Jews on whom the crowds watching the procession had al- ready turned
 The Jews at first fought with re- volvers and bombs and with these wea- pons the lajorlty of the Christian vic- tims were killed. But the Jews were soon overwhelmed and fled for shelter, like rabbits to warrens into cellars ov attics. The soldiers. who led this chase and butchery, some times were laughing with indifference but never falling to fire in houses where Jews, sometimes to the number of hundred. were making a stand against their as ssilants. The soldiers said the Jews were revolutionists and that was their excuse for firing, on them. The au- thorities who wanted to do something to stop the massacre were. with the po- l'ee and troops In open sympathy witb the mob. utterly powerless.
 Ahhought If is freely charged thOk the higher authorities of Bialystok de- liherftaly organized the massacre. nF if th'. was not the case. that 1t was -S-"',d ni'' upder orders from St. Pc. tersburg, there is no evidence to sup pcTr eiIher charge.
