MAYOR TOLD OF GRENADES .Slaughter of Semites Would Have Reel? Accompanied by Awful Loss to Russians Hint Taken and MurderersCalled Off. tTb& Jetrfsb. Morning- Journal -will print khe following tomorrow from Its spe cial correspondent in Odessa, Russia: "For txvr weeks I have been trying to write you a letter, but could not Jbecaoee I was very excited, expecting' great trouble in Odessa. First, the rev olutionists were planning a grand dem pnetration for March 19, the anniver sary of the liberation of tho certs. On the other hand, the police were pre paring a 'grand massacre' of Jews, to be used- as a safety valve to ward oft a general uprising against the govern ment "The- Jew3, on their part, took all precautions fox their defense. They -organized companies of armed men to fight for their lives. All this was done quietly, but each side knew of the preparations of the other. "For the better organization of the massacre, the authorities have brought from St. Petersburg the author of the Kteblneft massacre, Krusbevan, and the great anti-Semite spent more than a 'week in this city. He was, however, compelled to leave the city before the fiay of the contemplated massacre. It happened this way: Author of Kishlneff Massacre. "Since Krushevan's arrival Governor Neidgart received numerous anonymous letters in which ho was warned that if he would not send tho anti-Semite back, he, the Governor, would meet the fate of von Plehve and Serglus. He was further warned that if he should permit a massacre he would be blown up, to gether with all government institu tions "This had an effect and on Friday, March 18. Krushevan loft the city. It was known, however, that the massa cre had not been abandoned and that it was to take plane on the next day. Tou may ima'ghrd" :how "ffe felt. As I said, the Jews were not Idle. Every able-bodied Jew was enlisted In the de fense organization. The Zionists had prepared stores of arms and ammuni tion and supplied every Jew with a gun or other weapon. TVe had revolvers. knives, daggers, lances and knouts. Even women were armed. Jews Have a Rendezvous. "The Jewish Socialist workmen of the bund' withdrew from the revolutionists- and joined the Zionists for mutual self defense. Also students of other nationali ties, mainly of tho Eastern races and Caucasus, have joined us. Among them are numerous Armenians and Gruzlns. "We had selected places for rendezvous where every Jew had to report at the first alarm. "Knowing that it was to be war. we had prepared to care for our wounded. Tho rich Jews opened quarters for hospitals and engaged many physicians, nurses and Sisters of Mercy, and had a great number of bandages. Tou may be sure that the administration would not have had on easy Job, as at Klshinef. They were sure of victory. Governor Refuses to -Interfere. "We had plenty of hand grenades and the slaughter and destruction would have been frightful. "While prepared to fight, tho Jews sent a delegation to the Gov ernor to ask him to prevent bloodshed. He answered that he knew what was transpiring but was unable to interfere. He said that as soon as the demonstra tion fcegan tho police would be powerless to control the mob from taking revenge to the insults to tho "Little Father the Cxari "In other words, stop the demonstra- tlcns and there will bo no massacre. "The Jews then went to the Mayor, who is a very liberal man. He was warned openly that if a massacre was permitted, tho city would bo doomed. Thero would be bloodshed worse than in the Caucasus. Tho bombs would work fearful havoc Mayor Stops the Slaughter. "The Mayor took tho hint. He wont straight to the Governor and after a conference they telegraphed to St. Peters burg. The result was that tho manu facturers and directors of all Industrial concerns in Odessa received orders from the government to call together the worktngmen and give them all tho con-1 cessions possible; to avoid a strike and a demonstration. "This was accepted by tho revolution ists as a sort of compromise and tho pro posed demonstration was called off. March 1?. instoad of demonstrations, ban quets were given in the factories to the workingmen and speeches wore delivered by the employers, promising tho working men many material concessions. Since then all has been quiet. How long it will last, you cannot telL" BORED AT SIGHT OF MUCH GOLD London Correspondent Tells of Rus sia's Supply of Wealth. LONDON, March 27. The correspondent at St. Petersburg -of the Dally Mall re ports that he accepted the Invitation of Finance Minister Eokovsoff to inspect tho reserve of gold In the State Bank, and describes his visit to that institu tion. He says: "The bank officials made much cere mony of unlocking the gates of the strong-rooms, but the actual view of $36,000,000 of gold was found a supremely uain teres Ung, tedious and depressing spectacle. Oven 12.500 sacks of gold in rows on the Coot of the long vault looked no more impressive than sacKa of mer chandise in an ordinary warehouse. whilst 15,953 gold ingots closely packed on shelves like a library less suggested their value than the shelves of an iron monger's store. ."The officials invited the correspondent to count and verify the contents of the sacks on the shelves. That naturally was impossible, but he had not the slight est doubt that the amount represented in the reserve figures was there." Taxes Are Increased. ST. PETERSBURG. March 35.

COLLISION'S CAUSE UNKNOWN Albano Has Been Libeled by the Owners-of the Other Vessel for Damages Counter-Suit Is to Be Filed. HALIFAX. N. S., March 26. The two ocean steamers, the Parisian and the Al bano. whose 1800 passengers were saved from possible death at sea after the col llslon between the two vessels off the har bor's mouth yesterday by & thrilling 15 mlle race for shallow water, showed plainly today how serious was the acci- dent, the Parisian resting on the bottom at her dock and th& Albano's fore peak being full of water. The Parisian, which came up the harbor at 6 o'clock last night with a gaping hole in her starboard side from the Albano's sharp prow, filled gradually during the night, and at dawn her engine-room had been flooded, her fires extinguished, her lower deck was awash and her keel rest ed on the mud. A large part of her cargo Is damaged by water, but the bulk of the mall, consisting of 450 eacks, was recov ered in a dry condition. The statements of the two commanders of the vessels as to the probable cause of the collision are conflicting, and the courts will be invoked to place the responsibil ity.

"We were forced to fight this war In the interests of international peace and for .the safety of our country. personally, I have a high regard for the Russians. They are soldiers. The officers and men are brave and able and have fought well. 'T)urlng the war between China and Japan I was the commander of the army which captured Port Arthur. With a di vision and a half of troops we took the city In five hours. The result this time fihows wonderful difference between the Russians and the Chinese, with whom we had previous experience. Our army, both soldiers and officers, performed their duty as Japanese knew they would. "I was Minister of "War for Japan for 16 years, during which time conscription laws were passed. I have closely watched the making of the Japanese army, which has proved what I say. that the officers and the men have fulfilled ev ery hope, as I believed they would In older days, when the Japanese army was composed of the Samuri. professional fighting men. The modern army was drafted from all classes, yet all our hopes have been fully realized by the work this army has done in actual war." Field Marshal Oyama declined to dis cuss the future movements or plans of the Japanese army. He intimated that he was ready to continue the war as long as necessary. Despite the reports to the contrary. Field Marshal Oyama's health Is excellent. With his staff he Is com fortably quartered In five Chinese houses, placed at his disposal by the Chinese Viceroy.

The follow ing official dispatch has been -received here: X "Our Slngklng force reports that the enemy retreated from Singklng toward Haulungchou, 90 miles northeast. Another report Is that one squadron of the enemy's cavalry halted at MIcnhoachieh. on the Klrln road, in the district between Pyu- anpomen and Changtu. and in the vicln Jty of Talselyei. At Xankorshl a few of the enemy s troops are appearing.

ASSURED BY EMPEROR WILLIAM Kuropatkin, as War Minister, Valted for Billiard Game Conference. ST. PETERSBURG. March 27. (12:40 A. M.) Prince Uktomsky's new paper. Dawn, has unearthed a remarkable re port made by General Kuropatkin to Emperor Nicholas in the Fall of 1S03. In which the then War Minister expressed the opinion that the Yalu concession was sure to Induce war in the Far East, and took an optimistic view of Russia's abil ity to cope with Japan on land and sea, but expressed forebodings that the triple alliance might take advantage of the struggle to threaten Russian on the west while Great Britain brought matters to a climax with the Afghans. The whole tenor of the memorandum indicates that danger on the European frontier loomed large In the War Minis ter's calculation and creates the presump tion that he was chary about dispatch ing heavy reinforcements to the front until Emperor William's assurances given at the "billiard game conference," removed the threat as to the western frontier.

PETERSBURG, March 27.-02:40 A. M.) A private letter written In Janu ary has been received by an officer of Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron.

SAW THE CRASH COMING Philadelphia Combination Pretended to Deal In Cotton, but Never Bought or Sold a Bale of the Staple. PHILiADBIiPHIA, March IS. (Special.) In the whole story of the upheaval of get-rich-quick concerns In this city, Be ginning with the crash of the Storey Cot ton Company, the Provident investment Company and of two other smaller con cerns under the same management, the flight of "Handflome Harry" Latimer and tho arrest of Stanley Francis, who Is In default of JS0.0Q0 ball, there Is no more startling feature than the connection with the company of beautiful Sophia Beck, the stenographer, who Is believed to havo fled tho country with $1,000,000 of the Storey Company's plunder. This sweet-faced girl became the active manager of the Storey Company in Its later and palmiest days, and when the catastrophe occurred and Receiver Brad ley reached forth his band to collect the debris, lovely Sophia and the million were gone. The Storey Company was in Its general working an ordinary get-rlch-qulclc con cern. It pretended to deal In cotton, but never bought or sold a bale, even on margins-The Provident Investment Com nded to deal In wheat. Latl- Lmer, Francis, Marrln and "S,ophla Beck are believed xo nave piujiuuieu uj pub lic of upward of $3,000,000. Jatlmer ana Marrln are believed to have "salted" large sums, and Sophia, the slyest of all. must have gotten away with at least $1,000,000 In cash. The history of Sophia Beck, queen of the "con" game, is fascinating. She fled from Chicago with Frank Marrln In 1900 under the names of Mr. and Mrs. Edward bunne. ThX were arrested In -New Or leans. Marrln afterward deserted tho wo man, and three years? ago she turned up here. She picked out Richard Graham, the son of a highly respected widow of Jenkintown, as a companion. In the fall of 1303 A. O. Howard, mana ger of the Philadelphia branch of the Storey Cotton Company, began to visit her, and about this same time Sophia out lined a trip to the Pacific Coast for Richard Graham. He was hustled off to San Francisco, Portland -and Seattle to see what the chances were for new fields. Evidently they were not promising, for In two months he returned and married Sophia Beck. Then, began the career of "burning money," which finally ended In the crash and flight of the principals. American Received by the Pope. ROME. March 26.
