! ST. PETERSBURG, June 1S.-The
constitutional Democrats seem almosi
ready to throw in their lot with the
revolutionists.
/ The popular agitation is so great thai
at caucus lasting three mornings TIT
question of changing the party's tactics
and abandoning any further attempt t.
postpone an open rupture with the gov
eminent was seriously debated. Rodit
chef and Naboukof, leaders of the con
stitutional Democrats in the lower
house, led the radical wing. Prof. Miu
kot, NJ. Niniaver and others counseleC
caution, saying it was not yet time t
bend TO the storm, but the radicals wert
In the majority.
! The Novoe Vremyae today says the
constitutional Democrats have actually
resolved to break with the government
within few days, but NJ. Strive, edi
tor of The Osvobojdente, informed the
Associated Press that no decision hac
been taken He admitted, however, thai
the leaders plans We're secret.
Butchers to Join Bakers.
The bakeries continue closed today
the strikers threatening to wreck the
shops where attempts We're made tC
bake bread. Little hardship, however
has thus far resulted. The lower classes
supplied themselves with black bread il
advance. But the butchers will strike
IN few days. The news from the III
terror shows that the wave of strikes is
spreading, but it is too early to tel
whether this movement will precipitate
a crisis. New strikes are reported al
1okaterino, at Saratoff, and at the col
ieries of Bakmuth.
/ The usual number of robberies are re-
ported today. There have been two muir
derous train robberies in the Caucasus
and three stages coaches were held up in
Poland. \ case of arms and 5000 car
tridges have been conhscated at Riga on
an incoming steamer.
Cronstadt Being Watched.
The government seems to fear a rope
tition of the November mutiny at Cr0n-
stadt fortress, where the sailors and ma
rines and the soldiers and workmen are
reported to be extremely turbulent. Two
infantry regiments and two batteries of
artillery of the guard and two machine
gun batteries have been sent there. Well
so-dO people are fleeing.
The chief of police of Warsaw today
issued proclamation stating that every
attempt AT rioting will be mercilessly
suppressed by force of arms.
Anti-Jewish riots have broken out at
Lahludow and Gouindz, in the province
Of Grodno, and ut Ossowiec, i'll the prov
Ince Of IomZa.
Jew Dead Roll Is ago.
The Novosti, Odessa, published a dis
patch today from its correspondent at
Blal yStOk, saying: Il personally counted
$50 Jewish cOrpses, a great number of
which were horribly mutilated. Only six
Christians were killed and eight
wounded
The long debate on the agrarian ques-
ton was ended at this mornings session
of the lower House of Parliament with
q strong speech by Michael Stakoyich of
Orel. He appealed for peaceful cooper
ntion between the House and the govern
ment. 1t was then decided to send the
agrarlan question to Il commission. The
Bialystok affair was not preached il
Parliament during the morning session,
Jew Massacre Incited.
Nothing has been received here from
the parliamentary commission sent to
BialystOk to inquire into the massacre of
Jews. 1t is evident that the authorities
will not allow all dispatches to be sent.
The last telegram known to have been
received here reached NJ. Ostrogorski. Il
member of the lower house of Parlia-
ment from Grodno yesterday. 1t was
as follows:
The Jewish outrage at Bialystok was pro,
ated in il and the troops actively support
I'd the rioters The military authorities now
have, full control. The governor general
has left the city. Persons who tried tC
leave Bialystok were killed at the railway
station and others who succeeded in reach,
ing the open fields outside the town were
run down by Dragons. There seems nc
hope Of stopping the attacks. The number
Of victims is large. While this appeal for
immediate assistance is being written
aear about us the sound of yolleys.
Quiet regns today throughout BiaIy-
stok. Seventy bodies were buried today.
This is claimed to be less than half the
total of the killed Jewish estimates say
that not less than 200 We're killed. The
number of wounded is enormous. Sur
geons have arrived here from Warsaw tC
assist the overworked staffs of the hos
pitfalls in caring for the injured
Find Awful Beastality.
A few instances of the excuses Were
beastality and brutality with which the
victims of the massacre We're treated.
Some of the corpSes were mere masses
Of pulpy flesh, and many of the bodies
had hardly a sound bone.
The members of the commission of the
lower House of Parliament who are here
to inquire into the massacre are greet
ed as saviors by the population, who
flock out of their houses with pathetic
Joy and relief.
More Jewish Massacres.
BEREIN, June 1S.-The Jewish So
ciety today received a telegram from
Grajewo, Russian Poland, dated Mon.
day, saying that at Lapy, a village near
