St Petersburg. Sept. 3.-It is a signin-
cant phenomenon in Russian national life
that as the country is recovering-at all
events so It seems to the outside OBJ
server-from the effects OF the troublous
times OF 1865 and 1906, the number Of sui
cides has risen. A work by Dr. Jankoh
deals with the loss Of human life by
violent means in European Russia dur
ing the last few years and is based on
official statistics, which, however, are al
mittedly incomplete
In 1905. the pogrom or massacre year.
2s.605 lives were destroyed by murder
or by execution. The total decreased
year by year. until In 1909 only $40 per
sons were killed in these ways. These
figures include the suicides. which have
risen. according 70 Official figures, from
eighty-fve cases in 1905 to 557 in 1906.
LS03 In 1907. 3.705 in 1905, and 402s in 1879.
The number Of suicides is especially
great In the large manufacturing cities.
such as St Petersburg and Moscow. IN
the Russian capital the number has
quadrupled Ia the last four years. Some
ascribe the increase 70 the despair IN the
ranks Of the revolutionaries and even in
those Of the more peaceful reformers at
the failure Of their agitation and the
triumph Of the reactionaries.
POErOms Claim Thousands.
While in 1865 the pogroms alone
claimed 25,5O5 victims, only 1856 persons
pcrished in 1893 in so-called religious
riots. In these periodical disturbances
DR.. Jankon explains. the religious motive
IS now less apparent than mere lust Of
plunder
Terrorist Outrages were responsible for
9sf murders in 1895, 4.2s2 in 1906. 66i9
in 1907. 3.5lS in 1905. and s2s in 1909. The
effects Of the futile struggle between
the revolutionaries and the autocracy are
plainly discernible here. They go hand
in hand with the number Of executions.
From thirty-two in 1905 they rose 10 TgS
in 1906. 664 in 1907. and SO in 1905.
Last year 1,457 persons received the
death sentence, but only so were exc
cuted. and $50 sentences were commuted
10 penal servitude. What became OF the
other 5S5 no one knows. Officialdom
keeps silence about them.
