Odessa, Feb. 4-This city was in con-

the day street fighting accompanied
demonstrations by armed adherents of the
Union of Russians
Many casualties occurred. ew-baiting
was rife. and the Jewish quarter had
many shops wrecked and persons injured
The outbreak Of terrorism. similar to
that of six months ago, caused the au-
thOTities the utmost concern. but, owing
TO its unexpectedness, little opposition
could be offered to the street parades and
the fierce, clashes which prevailed all day
long. The paraders bore arms and wore
cockades. They sang revolutionary songs.
and at the least show of interference
fought desperately.
For the most part the streets were
abandoned to them. and the revolutionary
element held sway throughout the greater
part of the city.
