W. mom-ans, Publisher and Proprietor SHOT OWN LIKE RABBITS â€"â€"-..â€"â€" Terrroists Inaugurate Carnival of ‘ Murderous Attacks BUTCI IERY OF POLICE. A. dcspatch from St. Petersburg says: Acting apparently with a definite plan and at a signal. the tcrrorists and revolutionists on Wednesday inaugur- ated a carnival of murderous attacks \vith bombs and revolvers on the police and troops in various cities in Poland, cclmcs of which are heard from Samara. Illa. Yulta. Kiev and even faraway (,hita. where Acting Chief of Police Gorpinchcnko was slain almost on his own doorstep. . ’l‘lie revolutionists' cam- paign. flamed out with (special virulence at Atarsaw. where over a score were slain in the streets and many more were wounded. Among the killcd. according to the latest official advices were two scrgcants of police. ciglit patrolmen. thi'cc gcndarincs. five soldiers. a He- brew incl-chant and a woman. SHOT DOWN LIKE RABBITS. The returns are not all in. Policemen and soldiers were shot down like rab- bits in tho strccts. 'I‘licir assailants who travcltcd in small hands. almost all cs- capcd‘among the terrorizcd but sviii- pathetic populace. The only consider- able capture was a band of ten men who had invaded a vodka shop and killed a soldier. Those were hugged by a passing patrol. Bombs were cm- ptoycd in an attack on the police sta- tion of the \'olsk precinct in \‘v'ftl‘StiW. where a sergeant. two patrolinen and a soldier were wounded. MURDER 1N LODZ. Othcr Polish cities singlcd out by the terrorists were Lodz. whcrc six soldicrs. thrcc patrolmcn and the wife of a police captain‘wcre wounded by the explosion of bombs in the police station. and two soldicrs and two terrorists killcd in the streets; ltadoni. whom a bomb was thrown into the police station and kill-3d the who and children of the police cap- tain; \7lotsavsk. where the chicf of police was stain. and Mack. where at a given signal the policemen on all the posts were simultaneously attacked and scvcral of them wounded. 8 On account of thc agrarian disordcrs and (specially scvci‘al attacks on post twins. the railway bctwccn Samara nad Zlatoust, which alrcady was carrying guards on all its trains. was placed under martial law. THE DAY IN \V'AI‘.S.\\\'. A dcspalch from Warsaw says: 'l‘hcrc were many sanguinai'y conflicts here on Wednesday with rcvolutionists. who have. organized wholesale imissacrcs cf policemen. gcndarin‘cs and infantry patrols. Thcsc conspirators shot and killed seventeen policemen. four gen- donors and scvcn infantry patrolmcn. and woundcd a score more. Soldiers fired a volley info a crowd. killing fif- teen and wounding with bullets and bayoncts 130 others. The massacre is supposed to have been planned by rcvolutionisls in revenge for the arrest recently of 110 Socialist workmen in the iron working suburb of Braga. It. was a Catholic holiday and no one sus- pcctcd that a massacre was in prepara- tion. The weather was bcautiful. the city was calm and thousands of pcoplc were crowding outgoing excursion trains. Simultaneously the attacks on policrmcn began at. 10 o'clock in the morning. About 1 o‘clock in the after- noon ncws began to arrive from all parts of the city revealing the con- certed nature of the attacks. In Ostrov- skaia strcct. four men attackcd a ser- gcant of police. but the latter was able to bag three of them. who were armed with rcvolvcr‘. In a fight in Torgovia street. rcvolutimiists shot down two patrolman and a Jewish merchant was killed by a stray bullet. I TERRIBLE SCENES. The London Tribune's Warsaw cor- respondent telcgraphs a description of the pitiful scenes witnessed by him after the disturbances of Wednesday. “The hospital‘s surgeons. fatigued by, their-labors." he says. “were unable to attend to cases. and w0unds diagnosed as fatal were left to take their course. “The scenes in the morgue were hor- rible. In one I counted 32 civilian bodies. all dirty and dressed as they tell. “The people have grown callous with too much dcath. I was shocked to hear young girls laugh heartily at the sight of a woman whOse brainpan had been torn off by a bomb. “In one hospital I saw a youth'who. when bayonetcd yesterday (Wt-docs- day). feigned death. The soldiers trod over him and their heavy boots crushcd his fingers to pulp. but he successfully; stood the ordeal. He was carried to the morgue. when it was discovered that he was alive. He is now progressing favorably. EVERY POLICEMAN KILLED. A dcspatch from St. Pctensburg says: The murderous daring of the terrorists reached its climax on Thursday at Plotsk. 58 miles Ilt’tt'Ul-WL‘SI of Warsaw. where. at a preconccrtcd signal. everyr policcman on the streets was killed or wounded. Reports from all over the country show the absolutc helplessness of the police to cape with the rcvolutionists. Even the row-dies in the capital are having their own way. the police seldom daring to interfere won them. licports of various outrages that have been committed with impunity fill columns of thc ncwsyiapcrs daily. ' in Coui'land the nobles have issued an urgciit appeal to all thc land owners to organize armed bodies in self- defence. to the south. Tiflis is apparently at, the mcrcy of armed robbers. Tartar bandits are scoring the country around Rhusha. livlukah. and Agdam. A mail coach was lirld up and ransacked only five miles from .igdam. The ['iassengers were made prisonci-s. Their fate is un- known. The situation in the central provinces isno better. It is feared that. the Autumnal recruiting will increase the discrlcrs. Altogether nearly half a million iccuits will he called to the colors.

A dcspatch from London. England, says: A witnuss at the Guildhall Police Court. in giving cvidence against a prisoner charged with stealing 50 (Ian- udian cliccsc. valued at £150. asserted that when Canadian cheese deteriorated in quality it. would be impossible to identify them. but when they left the docks in perfect condition the witness would be able to identify them apart from the marks on the cases. He went. by the smell and taste. mon practice for merchants to put in- ferior cheese known brands. People who expected to buy Canadian cheese were anxious to get it. but whether they got it was another question. intuitions iiiiitiiiii Many Persons Killed and Immense Loss at Chilian Capital. ' A despatch from Lima. Peru. says: At about 8 o‘clock Thursday evening there was a tremendous earthquake at Valparaiso. Chile. As at San Francis- co. the shock was followed by the out- breaking of many fires. The flames ex- tended from, the Plaza Orden towards the north. and have not-yet been ex- tmgmshed. Many houses have been de- stroyed. and nearly all of them are more or less damaged either by the earthquake or the tire. Business is at a complete standstill. The banks are closed. The gas supply is unavailable. and the electric lighting system is com- pletely knocked out. Consequently the City at night is in darkness. The great- est panic prevails among the inhabi- tants. Many familics are fleeing from the city. The weather is fair and the sea is calm. Communication with Santiago de Chile is interrupted. and it is impossible to learn what has occurred there. Many persons were killed and in- jured in Valparaiso. The shocks con- tinue. but are milder. The shipping in the port was not injured. The streets which suffered most were Cafles Blanco. Condell. and Esmeralda. and those in the Delicias district. â€"â€" LOSS OF LIFE LARGE. A despatch from Buenos Ayres says: According to the information received here, a large number of buildings have I. out Chile. and was felt at. some points in the Argentine Republic. ' News of the disaster is extremely meagre. owing to the fact that telegra- phic communication is cut off. the shocks having thrown down the telegraph lines. The newspapcrs on Friday night pub- lished telegrams from Mendoza. an en- trcport. for the trade between Bucnos I’ Ayrcs and Chile. which it communicates with by the mountain passes of Uspal- lata and Portillo. to the effect that many houses in the Los Andes district were destroyed by the earthquake. and that there have been a large number of cas» ualties. - ‘ l Telegraphic communication with Chile is still interrupted. Santiago and Val- paraiso are completely out off. The Pacific cables are only working from lquique northward. It is certain that a number of houses have been wrecked atLos Andes. also known as Santa Rosa de Los ‘Andes. a town in the Province of Aconcagua, Chile. w. . DSASTER \VIDE'SPREAD. ‘_ -- ‘ '~ of . 1.
