This appeal, declaring that the out break was only the beginning of an organised massacre, signed by live Jewish members of the Russian dou- nia, who dread pre-arranged alaugh ter of Jews In other cities, has been w'lred to London from Helalngford, Finland; "The outbreak at Blalystok clearly was the beginning of an organised massacre, similar to the bloody October days. Only ener getic Intervention can prevent a terrible catastrophe. Peril Is Im minent. Appeal to all Influences to help us." Martial Law Dsclsrsd. The names attached to this appeal are those of Representatives Vlnaver Brando, Bchosberg, Katenelaon and Le win. The slaughter at BJalvstok has been worse than the awful affairs at Kish- Ineff, Kleff, Odessa aqd Home). Martial law has been declared In Bl alystok and the killing there Is ended, but anothsr massacre Is threatened' at Grodno. Uprisings have been started at Bin. roseldky and Loppy, villages near Bl alystok. At Staroseldky 50 persons havs been killed. Msttaers Pre-Arranged. L’ncensored reports from the corre' spondenta of. many papers who have Investigated the rioting reveal that the massacre was arranged by the local authorities. This Is confirmed by many circumstances. A telegram from the governor of Grodno denies positively that anybody w as hurt by a bomb thrown at a re llgloua procession, which was the off) rial account given as the cause of the massacre. A revolver shot fired dur ing the procession was the signal for the attack on the Jews, which began Immediately. How many persons have been In jured cannot be estimated. The hos pitals are filled with wounded. Thrown From Windows. Police hnd soldiers looked on without Interfering with the massacres Warsaw. Whole families were mur dered and their bodies were thrown out of windows at Blalyatok. The hos pitals were soon overcrowded and the wounded had to be sent to neighboring towns. In St. Petersburg It Is openly charg ed that the antl-eemltlc riots are en couraged by the 8t. Petersburg secret police. The public Is convinced that the Blalyatok riots were plotted to ef fort a pretext for the dissolving of the douma. Revolution it Near. Military offlcera openly boast that June II already has been decided upon as the date for the dUpenai of the douma. On all aldea there are Indications that a Russian revolution Is near. Dis patches tell of lawlessness, rioting and disorder In all parte of the empire. The Imminence of an armed uprising Is the one subject of conversation In the hotels, cafes end public gardens fn Moscow.

Washington, Juna 18.—Upon the re. turn this morning of Chairman Wads worth, of the houee committee on agri culture, from Genesee, N. Y„ the com mittee went Into executive session to consider the amendments to the meat Inspection bill proposed by President Roosevelt.' It Is.belleved that an agree ment upon all polnte In controversy will be reached before the close of the day. The eeeelon of the committee was short. Chairman Wadsworth and Rep resentative Brooks, of Colorado, were authorised to lick the Inspection pro vision Into shape and to report to the full committee when their work had been done after full conference with the agricultural department. Speaker Cannon will then present the bill to the president before further action Is taken. One point yet remains In controversy and -that Is whether the words “in the judgment of the secretary of agricul ture” shall go Into the bill. The pres ident wants them there; the commit tee does not. They say these words will preclude the possibility of an ap peal of any character to the courts. , No agreement has been reached as to whether the Inbel shall bear the date of when the meat product was prepared. It Is believed, however, that the president will-allow the labels to remain undated. _ An agreement on all other points has peen practically reach*-.!. The court review feature will go out, also the provision suspending the opinions of the civil service law as applied to In spectors. The cost of fnapectlon will be placed on the government. On motion of Mh Wadsworth, the house today recommitted the report on the beef Inspection amendment to the house committee on agriculture, In or der that the committee may perfect It along the lines Indicated. By Private Leased Wire., Berlin, June 18.—William J. Bryan has been made an Issue In St. Petera burg, according to The Morgen Post correspondent. He declares the Ameri can's visit was used by the reaction aries to arouse the osar against the progressive party, claiming that Bryan was encouraging them to resist the esar's authority. They even go so far as to declare that conspiracies were hatched during Brysn'e vlsrt and that a foreigner has no right to Interfere In Russian politics. Bryan’s exclusion from Russia was hinted at and alleged disrespectful comments upon the exar were urged against him. The court party, has ad vocated making a strong diplomatic protest to Washington, urging that Bryan should not .nave openly shown hts friendliness for the party opposing the Ruselan government. There Is no doubt that Bryan was shadowed by the secret police from the moment he set foot on Rusilnn soil. The ministers, however, havo nd- vlied against any demonstration of unfriendliness to Bryan. They believe that It would prejudice public feeling In the United States against the czar's cause. , BOOM FOR W. J. BRYAN IS TAKING FIRM HOLD. By Private Leased Wire. Washington, D.

By Private Leased Wire. Washington, June 18.—Benator Till man called up his resolution looking to securing more Information concerning the Walsh bank failures In Chicago. There was objection to hie making a speech, but the resolution was reed. It called on the finance committee to learn whether the Walsh banka In Chi cago made Illegal campaign contribu tions, whether the associated banks of Chicago committed Illegalities In con nection with the Walsh failure and whether the Ohio national banks have been making Illegal contributions to county treasurers In that state. Senator Tillman said there was no probability of the bill pasting until aft er the election, which proposes to pre vent banks contributing to campaign funds. Because of this, he desired to call the attention of the country to the facie. He could produce proof that In 1888 such contributions were made by national banks, and that these were ell Illegal. The pending bill to prevent such practices ought to pass, but he did not expect It would. He Imagined the committee on finance would subject the bankers to an Immunity bath: hut an other phase Is that the committee has reported a bill providing that national banke may now tend up to 80 per cent of their capital In a single loan. It Is, he eeld. probably a generally useful act; but there Is no punishment pro vided for violations of tha provision. This he considered a great weakness, pointing out cases In which violation of this provision has wrecked banks. "The finance committee,” said he, ”ln accordance with custom, will doubtless receive from I'omptroller Rldgely whitewash for their Chicago banks, want to show what he ought to a Borne days ago. It wee said hero tt every stockholder would be paid In time. Next day. the testimony of W C. Fenton, president of the National Bank of the Republic, regarding this matter, wee brought to me. I ask that It be read.” The Fenton statement wee read as C ven before the house committee in sy. Mr. Fenton told the story of the Welsh failures; that three yeahs be fore the rallure the comptroller knew all about the criminal conditions that led to the failure. When the failure came, the other banke had to take up the burden. Here Is the statement of a lead ing Chicago bank president,” proceeded Benator Tillman "that for three years the comptroller knew the bank had, In effect, loaned 88,000,000 to Mr. Welsh, Its preeldent. Certainly, this was crim inal. Under the law, the charter of the bank had been forfeited three years ago. Tet, the comptroller. Instead of winding up lie affaire, let It go until It had loaned Walsh 110,000,000 more. I will prove that Walsh violated the criminal law, and that the Chicago Clearing Houee Association violated the code.” Senator Aldrich -protested against ylng the Chicago bank cases senate. Tillman rsplled by reading the lew requiring the comptroller to bring suit In such cases, which bos' not been done. Benator Tillman proceeded to read a atement about the capital and depos it! of the Walsh banks, saying that names of messenger boys and under- Inga were allowed to sign notes, for which b.*lde of the Walsh railroads were put up. The'stock of the railroad was trusteed In tha control nt a friend of Walsh. If the railroad property should sell for $22,000,000 the liabilities might be paid off; but to make them valuable more money must be put Into complete them.

When asked by a Georgian reporter as to statements made by Attorney LI gon Johnson before the tax committee of council In reference to analysis of certain whiskies sold by Bluthenthal A Blckert, State Chemist McCendless •eld: ”1 did not authorise any one to say anything In rfcferenOa to ‘Old Jos' y/hli ky.

McCandlese,* who made hie analysis and returned hie re port to the committee. When one of the cues came up before the court the reports of the chemists were reed and the names of the whleky of each told by the committee In court. One of these was declared to be nothing more than cologne spirits and white caromet col oring matter. The report was that of r. McCandless.

The following copy of a letter which Ojhea been seat to Tho Atlanta Journal, OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO has been sent to The Georgian and to other papers In Atlanta: To tha Editor of the Atlanta Journal: Sir; The statement In your esteemed paper of date June 15, that Judge J. K. Hines was opposed to the meeting of our executive committee, le untrue. Owing to the high esteem In which ■he Judge le held by our people, I think the statement le Injurious to the cause of Populism. That the Judge was opposed to put ting out a ticket f think le true, but the facte about calling this committee meeting are these; I, In company with some very promi nent Populists, went to Judge Jllnee' office on May 15 and’ we, with the Judge, discussed the political situation, and all, agreed upon the propriety of calling the committee on June 14. In fact, the Judge was the first one to suggest the call, wrote the call him-' self and I signed the calL and tha Judge agreed to hand It to the preee. There fore, aa a matter of Justice to all con cerned, I ask that you make this cor rection. With regard to the opposition led by the Hoke Smith Populists against put ting out a stats ticket, although greatly In the minority, I believe they will tell you that they were allowed more time In the discussion then was taken np by the majority. the three votes cast against womsn's ear was almost she was nearly dead from loan of before the hospital surgeon •launch the flow.
