OF DOOM SElO RUINS But Plan to Massacre Jews May Be Foiled .MARKED BY RED CROSS The Black Hundred" Plan a Reg ular St. Bartholomew Massacre of JewsLower Classes in Russet Approve But the Authorities Take Steps to Prevent It St. Petersburg, Nov. 10. Stories are being circulated that a regular St. BaiV tholomew massacre of the Jews -and intellectuals has been planned by the "Black Hundred" of St. Petersburg for Saturday night. It is declared that all houses contain ing Jews are marked by a red cross. While it is undoubtedly true that the lower classes would like to let loose, real danger Is not anticipated, as the police have received the most rigid in structions to suppress any attempt at an uprising. Count Witte has ordered a tRorough investigation of all the Jewish massa cres and other disorders in the Interior, where the police, troops and officials are charged either with inciting or . with abetting violence, and he is determined to have all the offtnders reomved and punished. Plan to Educa'e the People St. Petersburg, Nov. 10. The town council of St. Petersburg is taking the lead in political education of the masses by inaugurating a series of public lec tures at which the new order of things is explained to the people. The object of the meetings is to allay the hostility between the various classes by showing the benefit accruing to all from the grant of liberties. This example will be followed by Moscow and other j cities. ! Word has reached Count Witte that in some regions the reactionaries who are seeking to make the new regime odious are spreading reports among the peasants in the country and the lower classes of the cities that the imperial manifesto is a forgery issued by a cam arilla of revolutionists, of which Count Witte is the head, and who hold the emperor prisoner in the place. Such stories circulated among the Ignorant peasantry are apt to prove almost as dangerous now as they did when the peasantry rose to support Pugatcheff, who, claiming to be Peter III., called, on the people to overthrow Catherine II. The clergy throughout the country, un der instructions from the holy synod, are doing all in their power to counter act the effect of such pernicious reports by explaining to the people in the churches the real meaning of the re forms. IT WAS ANOTHER SIMMONS U. S. Senator Not the Man Who Got Old Nick Whiskey Greensboro, N. C, Nov. 10. Special. Z. H. Cotner occupied the witness stand in federal court all of today except a few minutes this afternoon in the Old Nick Williams trial, E. E. Yarborough being recalled to bring out one or two facts omitted when he was examined the other day. - In justice to United States Senator F. M. Simmons it is but fair to correct the report sent "out by the Associated Press and printed in some of this morn ing's papers that the senior senator from North Carolina had bought wlys key from the defendants. This expla nation Is made: The consignment was to F. M. Simmons, Greenville, S. C, and not to the North Carolina senator. In this connection it is interesting to note that today witness Cotner, depot agent at Clemmons, read from his rec ord of shipments -made by. defendants aj consignment of the ardent to Eugene Holton in South Carolina, and the dis trict attorney will have this man brought here as a witness and will probably inquire, into his. kinship. The taking of Cotners testimony will not be finished within a week andte trial may last until December 1st, The Simmons whiskey consignment story was not printed in The Morning Post. j DIVORCE AND $50,000 Wife of Ex-Mayor of Baltimore Se cures Redress in Court Baltimore.

The Holocaust There Lasted a Whole Day - FiREM GOT DRUNK And Blaze" Was Permitted to Burn Itself Out Ten Solid Blocks In cludedBusiness Section Sacked. Troops and Guns Landed and Or der Restored for Present . Cronstadt, Nov. 10. All Is agaiVi quiet. The mutinous sailors have all submitted and the leaders, to the num ber of several hundred, have been de ported from the island. The others are thoroughly repentant.. Troops are pouring into the city from all directions by water. Besides ma chine guns, other street artillery and a battery of quick-fire field guns arrived here today on scows from St. Peters burg and were debarked shortly,, before noon. Any further disorder at present is utterly out of the question. The mutineers and rowdies gutter the tartar, and Jew markets and on Pavloff street near the barracks the seventh fort equipage, to which the mutinous sailors belonged, destroyed ten modern business blocks and a number of small er stores. The fires burned themselves out dur ing the hight and today the buildings are only heaps of smoking ruins. The fires burned almost a whole day. There was little attempt to check them, as the firemen shared in the general de moralization and, many of them be came intoxicated. . The business streets sacked by the rioters present a lively picture today, There-are crowds of .spectators on the sidewal&i watching. the unfortunate owners of burned buildings who are salvaging their property from the heaps thrown into the streets and from the wrecked Interiors of stores. There was no further disorder tonight. Socialist Doctrine Among Troops St. Petersburg. Nov. 10. The mutiny at Cronstadt has been suppressed, ar.fi large numbers of trusted troops have arrived at the fortress. The outbreak- was confined to a mutiny, though it was feared at ope time that it would develop into a military revolution. - Many of the fortress artillerymen joined the mutinous sailors. A "con siderable proportion of these artillery men came from Vita, Warsaw, Grodro and other places, where the service is less irkfome than it is at Cronstadt. Socialist doctrines had gained num erous converts among the soldiers who were frequently heard to declare that they were as good as their offi cers and should be allowed to frequent the officers' club. U. S. Cousul Confirms Reports Washington, Nov. 10. A dispatch re ceived at the state department late to day : from Spencer Eddy, the charge d'affaires of the United States, says the situation at Cronstdat is improved and that the seriousness of it has about passed awav.

The fortifications, the dispatches say, were at all times in the hands of the government and but ten houses were burned. The dis patches says also that the uprising w-as suppressed almost immediately. MARTIAL LAW DECLARED Trouble Eelng Renewed--3C0 Drunken Men Per'shed In the Flames V St. Petercburg, Nov. 10. Martial law has been declared at Crondadt. It is officially declared that the city is still ordererly, but many rumors are now current to the effect that the mutiners have again commenced their work of pilage and destruction. Ad miral Bireleff, minister of marine, has gone to investigate the situation. Yesterday's dispatches related to the main facts of the rising which led to scenes which recent events in Russia have made fami iar to the world. Un restrained wolka drinking, which the looting of the government stores made possible was answerable in a large measure for the excesses. The sailors drank themselves Into a frenzy. Of the unknown number killed it instated that three hundred drunken men per ished in the? flames they themselves had kindled. It. is reported, but without confirma tion, that it had been decided to shoot every tenth sailor Implicated in the rising. ; It i3 calculated t tfc O&ca- age to property amounts to $2,500,0000. The work of the port is going on to day. The town and government works are occupied by troops, whoss numbers are equal to4 those of any army corps. BURTON INDICTED AGAIN U. S. Senator From Kansas Will Have to Stand Trial St. Louis, Nov. 10. Senator Joseph Ralph Burton of Kansas was re-indicted by the federal grand jury late this afternoon. Less than a month has ex pired since the last indictment against him was vitiated because of errors. 'The allegations in the present indict ment are the same as in the one quashed that while a senator of the United States he accepted money from the Rialto Grain and Security Company of St. Louis fo rservices rendered be- : forehe postoffice department, in behalf of that company, which was being In vestigated by inspectors. The only ; change is the. legal wording of the I indictment, which is made different to avoid - the errors found in the former indictment. It is expected that a' demurrer will be filed soon and that Senator Burton will be tried within a month should the demurrer be overruled. Honors for Explorer Nasen ' Christiana, Nov. 10.

Sold Securities Below Market Price New York. Nov. 10. Interesting dis closures in regard to the business re lations between the bankingfirms of Vermilye & Co. and William A. Read & Co. and. the Metropolitan Life In surance Company were brought out at the hearing before the Armstrong In surance committee here today. William A. Read, head of-the firm bearing his name, was until the early part of this year a member ot the VermlJye Company and for many years, while Mr. Read was associated with Vermilye & Co., that firm did the bulk of the Metropolitan's busi ness, both in buying and selling se curities. . When Mr. Read brok- away from. -Vermilye & Co., and started his new firm, the' Metropolitan's business was transferred to the Read establishment. It was shown that the Metropolitan made a large deposit with Read & Co. when the firm started up; that the life insurance company has loaned Read considerable sums with special concessions in regard to the interest rate charges and that it has sold se curities to Read & Co. at figures which were apparently a point or even two , points below the market quotations at the time of the sales. The fact also was brought out .that certain securities are carried In the ! Metropolitan's annual statement of as sets and appraised for the company by Vermilye & Co., were valued at anywhere from one to two points point above - the apparent market quotations. In this connection the further fact was brought out that pay men tSy have been made by Vermilye & Company and one by Wm. , A. Read as a member of Read &.Co., to President Hegeman of the Metropoli tan. These payments, Mr. Hegeman declared, represented merely an ad justment of interest charges on a pri vate account which he carried first with Vermilye & Co., and later with: William A. Read & Co. J It was also disclosed that the Metro-J politan at - various times kept sums aggregating $800,000 on deposits In trust companies and other Institutions ; without making any interest charges. Officers of the company wrere inter ested in some of these institutions as stockholders. It was also shown that the Metropolitan has contributed to both the Democratic and Republican parties In 1896 and that he had had Judge Andrew Hamilton, the New York Life's legislative supervisor, un der a retainer for many years.
