an iron hand any disorders which might
he instigated by the numerous anti
Semitic agitators in the city. To-day
Cossacks still patrolled the streets and
also the surrounding districts.
London Nov. 1l.-All the leaders OF Jew
ish communities In London and other Eu-
ropcan capitals express extreme dissatis-
faction over the Kieff verdict, because its
ambiguity leaves the question OF ritual
murders still undecided. and they are
anxious as to it's effect In encouraging
Black Hundred agitators In Russia.
Thus far. according to the ST. Peters
burg dispatches. the precautions taken by
the authorities have been successful. No
disorders are reported. and a majority OF
the Russian people appear to have ac-
cepted the verdict quietly. But In Jewish
quarters serious apprehension exists that
the last has not been heard OF the case.

at Kieff banquet was given after the
verdict was declared by the anti-Semite
organizations in honor OF two Of the
counsel for the prosecution. at which six
hundred persons. including some very
prominent men, were present
