st. Petersburg, June 19.-The pitia-
BILE affair at Bialystok apparently has
burned itself out. No further blood
shed was reported yesterday, and no
NOR" is expected. even by the radicals,
who are satisfied that the authorities
are now in control and will do every
thing possible to prevent a renewal of
the eXCeSSeS.
This confidence is based on the ac-
ton of the governor of Grodno, who
Is hated and distrusted by the bureau
Gratis, n who. after investigating the
situation at Bialystok, took the
precedented step in order to prevent a
spread Of the m~assacres TO telegraph
the authorities Of all towns within the
Jewish pale denying the alleged off,
cial reports that the disorders were
due to the wanton throwing Of bombs
revolutionists. This measure, aided by
the Catholic clergy, who throughout
Russian Poland addressed their con
gregations imploring them not to be-
lieye reports spread broadcast for the
purpose of stirring up bloody excesses,
was e%ficacfous in calming the agitated
spirits among the Christian population.
The Catholics Of Warsaw Cancelled a
great religious procession which was
to have been held here today in order
to avoid the chance OF a conflict.
The general situation, however, is
hourly growing more disquieting and
the country seems to be on the verge
Of another gigantic %upheaval. In st.
Petersburg and Moscow the populacet
Is greatly excited n nothing is talked
of except a general political strike
which would bring the government to
it's knees. The proletariat leaders who
have been preparing for months for a
blow believe the moment has come to
strike.
Berlin, June ia dispatch from
Bialystok, dated 2:4O D. m, says:
"Plundering and numbering continue
and troops are in possession Of the city,
which is on fire.
Fires are continually breaking out
and the situation is frightful. A few
Jews, through high payments. have
been allowed TO escape.
st. Petersburg, June 16.-Direct tele-
gramS from Bialystok to q newspaper
today contain nc fresh information, but
there is no doubt the censor controls
the telegraph.
The Bourse Gazette prints a special
from Grodne declaring the governor Of
that city has expressed himself to the
effect there Is no hope Of stopping the
butchery Of the Jews at Bialystok for
two or three days. Mobs are invading
trains passing through Bialystok and
are dragging out and killing the passen-
gers. The Jews who escaped from
Bialystok are wandering and starving
in the fields or woods.
Terror in kishinev.
Odessa, June 16.--The Jews at Eish-'
reports that Jewish massacres are
threatened. They hastily closed and
barricaded all their houses and stores

Krementchug report anti-JeWiSh eX-
cesses are also a~pprehended there.
st. Petersburg, June 16 (afternoon)-
An unconfirmed rumor Is in circula-
ton to the effect that anti-Jewish out-
breaks nave occurred at Brest, Litovsk
and Wilma
was torn to pieces at Bialystok, but
this is officially denied.
Bourses Are Panicky.
The gravity Of the general situation
grows hourly and the bourses Of st.
Petersburg and Moscow are in q
panicky condition. Social democrats
and social revolutionists are consid-
ering parliament to be a negligible
quantity and are pushing their cam
paign for an armed uprising with in
creased Vigor.
Demonstrations are daily occurring
in the streets OF Moscow in favor of a
general strike with which the prole-
tariat leaders are trying to p%recipitate
q conflict. Agitation among the work.
men here has reached the boiling point
and patrols are again in heavy force
in the Industrial quarters.
Army Ready to Mutiny.
In the country rural guards are
throwing in their lot with peasants re-
fusing to protect the landlords. Prog
ress of the evolutionary propaganda in
the army is seriously alarming the gov
rnment and to add to the popular ex-
element comes the massacre of Jews
at Bialystok. While reports conflict as
| to the immediate responsibility for the
outbreak the authorities here cannot
escape the responsibility for the provo
cative black hundred" kilograms which
they caused to be printed throughout
Russia, appealing to the worst passions
Of the moi against the Jews as enemies
of the country.
Martial law has been declared at
BialystOl5 and troop are being rushed
to the scene.
