I X'» I [i The Slaughter at Odessa Surpassed Mediaeval Persecutions VOUSE THAN KISIIINKFF. A despatch from Otlcssa Kays: Gun. Kaulbai-R, Conimuiitler-in-riiief of this military <listricl, presumably acting iindi-r ordiis from St. iVtors- burtj, begnii to seriously enforce martial law on Thursday afternoon. This action was gratefully welcomed by the peaceably disposed residents. Tho garrison was withdrawn fronj the barracks, jiickels were uiounted in the streets, strong patrols set to inoving. and Maxim guns placed in the chief thorouj;lifarcs. The po- lice also wore restored to duty. Tho ctlect thus far lias been wholly satis- factory. Tho crazy conllict of the rival demoniac mobs has ceased. Five thousand rullians have had thcdr revolvers taken from them. A Btern warnini^ has been given that nobody shall leave their houses af- ter p.m., at which hour all lights must bo put out. Tho.so di:-:obeying â- will be o) rested. Anvhody appiar- Ing with arms will be surniu'irily thot. iSnil)ing ^hots have been (ired occasionally sinco nightfall, but there has bM!n no resumption of tho riot- ing. Tho full story of the horrors in the Jewish tiuarter cannot yet bo told. A Ifed Cross doctor who has been serving there says that the ma.Ssacre was worse than that at KishinefT. Tho massacre of Jews continued nil day. They were hunt- «hJ down in the streets and killed and beaten, while their shops wero given over to pillage. Thi! troops wreaked terrible ven- pi^anee on the residents of three houses from the balconies of which Bhots wero rire<l by unknown persons upon soldiers. The latter ininiedi- ntely stormed lh<! houses, and with unhenrd-of barbarity musarred all the inhabitants. It Is persistently asserted that tho unknown persons who lire<l on the Ircop-s were dis- guised polieeinen, who purposely provoked the troops. 'J'he rit.y is a dismal sight. The firing was uninterrupted the wholo da.v. Many hundreds have hcvn killed or wounded. The CossackB ragerly attackc<l the student militia, which Was courageously trying to stem the bands who worn massacring and pillaging. The Cossacks shared Ihc booty with tho rioters. POLISH UKMONSTATIONS. A despatch from Warsaw says: â€" Never sine; tho insurrection of 1803 have doings like those of Thursday heeii seen here. "(lod Save Polond," ami "Long Live I'oland," haVe been tho watcn- uords of renmrkahle demonstrations, which were national in character. I'roce.qsions headcKl by men carryinfj tho flag of independent I'oland and othere I'olisli banners formed at the Uoman Catholic churches, parad.-d tho streets. Tho 1 Soman priests, in canonical vestments, marched be- neath tho flags at tho head of each colunin. It did not matter that tho fiovernor on Wednesday forbade cuch parades. Tho demonstrators tiled in bought. nundrcds of stores havo been looted and wrecked. It is stat- ed that there wero fiOO casualties on Friday. The Consulates here are guarded by troops. Tho Ooriiian and French Consuls have asked that tho German and French guard ships in the Jlos- phorus bo sent hero. Hcport.s havo been received of mob deviltry in many towns in Southern Ilussia, in which Jews have been the principal victims. NicolaielT, Kli/.a- betpol and Kherson, among others, are believed to be suffering terribly. KishiiiefT, however, seems to have had tho- worst experience. It is stated that hundreds have been inas- sacre<l there. Tho hospitals, phar- macies and hotels are full of i.iuii- Intcd victims. One report states that the town is on fire. Another says it lias been completely destroy- ed. CZAll nKADY FOU FLIGHT. A de.spatch from London says: â€" Thcro is strong evidence of tho danger of interference by tiermnny in ca.so tho revolution- ary movement in Ilussia succiirds in a complete overthrow of the dynas- ty.

Tho danger of such ^an aippalling eventuality is not ini- iininenl, but the fear of it, as cabled la week ago, is causing grave ap- BOmi:s STREW STnEF'IS. Tho London Standard publishes a despatch from a correspondent at Ode.'-sa saying that anarchy and bloodshed still reign supreme there. Kvery slio|i is bolted and barred. Mobs nre tiring indiscriminately. The jnol) is becoming ilesperati', and car- ry their guns with linger on the tional movement between the factions. Kepresentatives of the bankers and tho Polish nobility visited the Gov- ernor and appealed to him to with- draw the trooi)S. The barristers have collectively telegraphed to Count oo Wilto demanding the withdrawal rf tho soldiery, who, they declare, arc defying the (J/.ar's guarantw' of per- sonal liberty and massacring the people. The Governor has issued a pro- clamation greeting tho people of Poland on their great holiday f<ir freedom, but warning them of the ex istenco of elements which are trying to obscure the ilay's general joy and prehension tals. in this and c iter capi- PIIOPIIESTIOS A MA.SRACRR.

PEACE IS FAR OFF. A despatch from London says: Lit- tle hope of an early eessa" ion of thi: hideous disorders in Russia is to be gathered from the despatches from various places in that country. St. Petersburg is outwardly (luiet, per- trigger. The streets are unsafe for [haps more owing to the continued civilians, owing to tho indiscrimin- ato firing. In the Jewish quarter bodies strew the streets, roadways and s-idewalks. lOverywherc jiools of blood meet tho |al cities arc creating a hell of rapine eye, and the walls on; bespattered 'and murder.

I'nglish corro- spond<nts at Odessa condemn in the strongest language the incni);vcity or apathy of Gen.

United States Has Fears for Its Territory. The New York Herald publishes tho following despatch from Taconia, Wash.: â€" According to surveys not being made by United States and British enginc!ers, tho United .Stales stands in danger of losing a strip of territory fourteen miles wide and be- tween 200 and .'ICO miles long, con- taining gold, silver and copper valu- ed at many millions.

Kin;iiuers now at work nre setting monuments only twenty- one miles from such headwaters. Vigorous proie.vts will be mailo to Congress by United States citizens owning property within tho strip.

Tn the vicinity of Leamington, In Es.sex County, and in the town it- self, whore two years ago there waj no sign of it, tho scale is bad and the growers ore now asking for spraying demonstrations. Whily there has not been much to encoura^ie the scale lighters in these two districts, it is gratifying to the dopar'tmeit to know that the pest has been prac- tically kept out of other parts cl tho province.
