DISPATCHES FROM RUSSIA TODAY
TELL OF MORE SERIOUS TROUBLE
Rioting at Bialystock Renewed—Jews Being Massacred and Houses Looted-
Gravity of General Situation Alarms Government.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 16. — The disorders at
Bialystok wele renewed yesterday afternoon with even
greater fury than characterized the riots of the day be
fore. A dispatch from Bialystok dated 2:40 o’clock this
morning says that the rioting proceeded through the
night with unabated fury and still continues, with no
signs of abatemet. It is impossible to send particulars
of the horrors.
MANY JEWS KILLED.
WARSAW, June 16.—The latest messages from
Bialystok say that the sacking of Jewish houses and con
flicts in the streets between the mobs and troops con
tinued till last last night. Many Polish Jews, Russians
and soldiers were killed or wounded. The fighting ex
tended to the suburbs, one of which was destroyed by
fire.
TERRORISST AT WORK IN WARSAW.
WARSAW, June 16.—Two police sergeants were
killed and another policeman wounded by a terrorist to :
day. A policeman who aqMjstejg the assassin was shot
and killed by a woman passing at the time.
WANDERING JEWS STARVING.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 16. — Direct telegrams
from Bialystok'contain no fresh information. The situ
ation is doubtless controlled by the censor. The Bourse
Gazette this afternoon prints a dispatch from Grdtlno
that the governor of the city said there was no hope of
stopping the butchery of the Jews for two or three
days. Escaped Jews are wandering, starving, in fields
and woods.
GOVERNMENT ALARMED AT SITUATION.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 16.—The gravity of the
general situation grows hourly. The government is un-’
doubtedly frightened at what has happened. Martial
law has been declared at Bialystok and troops are being
rushed to the scene.
The Socialists are pushing, their campaign for an
armed campaign with renewed vigor.
ANTI-JEWISH OUTBREAK SPREADING.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 16. — Unconfirmed re
ports are circulated here that an anti-Jewish outbreak
has occurred at Brest-Litovsk and Vilna.
THOROUGH INSPECTION

POINTED LETTER SENT TO HOUSE COMMIT
TEE ON AGRICULTURE TODAY.
Washington, June 16.—President Roosevelt today re
ported a letter to the house committee on agriculture which
Chairman Wadsworth wrote to the President answering a
letter in which the work of the committee on the packing
bouse amendment was criticised. The President admits his
error in saying that there is no provision in the amendment
for night inspection, but he says the substitute is inadequate.
He says he bad revealed certain things in a conference with
Adams, of the committee, which Mr. Adams said he per
sonally accepted.
The changes include an important review and a dozen
other alterations. The President adds that he is not con
cerned about the language of the amendment, but with the
accomplishment of a ‘ ‘thorough and rigid, and not a sham
inspection.” ,

state of health for some time. It was
known to friends here that little hope

his rooms and physicians were sum
moned, who said it would be twenty-
four hours before the possibility of re-

16-2t ROSENBERG BROS.
Will Be Considered In Granting Roada
Privileges In Front 8treet.
One of the considerations which
the City Council will have in mind in
granting any franchise to a railroad
company for a line through Front
street will be the protection of the ap
proaches to the river on Broad and
Commerce streets, if on no others.
The time is coming—it may he a
matter of but a short time, or It may
be one of years—when Flint river will
give to Albany much tower freight
rates than she now enjoys. These
lower rates will come when a regular
line of steamboats begins plying be
tween this city and the Gulf Sf Mex
ico. With the river at her door, Al
bany throws away thousands of dollars

the city's increased size end impor

should much longer neglect the oppor-

In passing through Flint street, the
railroads desiring to secure certain

two principal approaches being through
Broad and Commerce streets.
The franchises desired by the A. &
N. and G. N. roads will probably be
considered by the City Council at its
next regular meeting, which may be
held Monday night
