LONDON, Nov. 2. Special dispatches
to tills morning's local newspapers rep
resent the condition of affairs in Russia
as being: extremely grave, especially
in the provinces. St. Petersburg, the
dispatches say. remains comparatively
quiet. Late last night the streets of
that capital were patrolled by strong
forces of gendarmes and Cossacks, and
no further disorders have been re
ported.
According to the St. Petersburg cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, the rev
olutionaries demand the establishment
of a republic, and as the result of this
demand Che strong arm of General
Trepoff has again been Invoked. Thus,
says tho correspondent, brute force and
popular sontlment are again facing
each other. Even the appointment of
Grand Duke MIchaol as military die
tator. with General Trepoff as his right
hand, is discussed in official circles,
according to the correspondent, -who
adds that late last night the revolu
tionary leaders advised the populace to
refrain at present from precipitating a
conflict.
The correspondent of the Daily Mail
at Kieff, in a dispatch dated Novem
ber 1, says:
JUols and Jewbaitlng at Kieff.
The Governor-General has resigned,
because he was not permitted to take
Ftrong measures to prevent the riots.
Indescribable ecenns occurred last
night, when the mob Invaded the Town
Hall and tore down the portrait of the
Emperor. The troops fired three volleys
into the mobs, killing 40 persons.
Three hundred of the rioters were ar
rested. During the conflict the troops
were dismounted, thrown to the ground
and many of them shot.
"It was a lawyer named Itattncr who
tut the Emperor'r portrait from its
frame, hacked out the face, put his
head through the opening and
harangued the mob from tho balcony
of the Town Hall. Today a band of
workmen Invaded Rattners house and
tore him to pieces.
"Jew-baiting started at midnight.
Strong patrols passed frequently, but
they looked smilingly on and gave no
help. Some hours later Cossacks ar
rived, but they did nothing to protect
the property of the shopkeepers. I saw
some police and Cossacks pocketing
part of the plunder. Some of tho sol
diers were arrested lor stealing. People
were seen everywhere carrying bundles
of stolen silks and velvets without
hindrance. Later on vlgllanco commit
tees were formed, the mombera of
which stopped suspected persona and
made them disgorge their plunder.
At 6 o'clock tonight, notwithstanding a
deluge of rain, the looting was resumed.
The Jews fired from the balconies of
their houses on the troops and on the
processions of loyalists, tho soldiers re
turning the fire. The residences and, of
fices" of many wealthy Jews woro wrecked.
The Jews now threaten to massacre tho
Christians tomorrow."
Thousands Killed at Odessa.
A dispatch to a news agency from
Odessa describes that city as having ex
perienced it dreadful day. the defenseless
populace being at the -mer'cy of a howl
ing and armed rabble of 50,000 men, call
ing themselves loyalists and led by dis
guised policemen and their wretched
dupes. The dispatch says:
"Tho Jews mado a stout resistance.
and tholr successful 'bravery entailed la
mentable sacrifices. It la Impossible to
asoertain the casualties, but rumor puts
the number of killed and wounded as
high as 2000. many by bombs, which tho
mobs used wholesale. Not until late at
night, when the murderous work had
gone on unchecked for hours, woro the
troops brought, cordons placed around
the Jewish quarter and quiet restored
somewhat.
"The law-abiding citizens are Incensed
with Governor-Genoral Xaulbars. who Is
held to be solely responsible, since the
Civil Governor was deposed yesterday.
The only hope is that the worst has
passed, as In all probability the mobs
have nearly exhausted tholr stock of
cartridges."
Bomb Scultcrs Cossacks.
The Odessa correspondent of the Stand
ard tells a similar tale. He says:
"A General who was leading a loyalist
procession In the Alexander Prospect was
shot dead. Half a company of Cossacks
forming a personal guard for the town
residence of their commander attempted
to barricade tho street for the purpose of
defense, but were scattered by a bomb.
and the Cossack commander fled from tho
vengeance of. the crowd In civilian at
tire. The absence of street lighting and
an overcast sky added to the horrors.
"In the street, after nightfall, there
were ever-recurring savage cries from
far and near, mingled with the rattle of
small arms. It was supposed that martial
law would be reimposed at noon, but I
have seen only a couple of military pa
trols. Martial law without troops to en
force Its execution 1b a grim farce, and
heavy responsibility lies on the shoulders
of Governor-General Kaulbars. An offi
cial note was lBsued tonight that persons
found on the street without authority
after 9 o'clock were liable to be shot at
sight by the patrols.
Awful Slaughter by Bombs.
"It is reported that the casualties will
reach 1000, but It Is Impossible to verify
this report. The last bombs thrown In
Derlbass street killed 15 and wounded 40.
Within ten minutes tight others were
killed, nearly on the same spot. The
Jews are said to be the only persons who
have resorted to the throwing of bombs,
but the extremity of their peril must be
remembered. Our only salvation Is the
complete military occupation of the cltj-."
The Odessa correspondent of the Dally
Telegraph says that the day's casualties
probably will reach some hundreds. He
adds that It Is reported that the soldiers
refused to fire on the people when or
dered, and fired on the Cossacks who
came to quell the disturbance, killing or
wounding many of them.
Only One Hopeful View.
Th St. Petersburg correspondent of the
Dally Telegraph takes a more hopeful
view of the situation than that takon by
any other of the correspondents. He ad
mits that determined efforts have been
made to keep up" the popular excitement,
but thinks that the peaceful eloments are
awakening to a sense of their duty to
their families and to the country and that
the bulk of. the population Is beginning
to realize the potential Interests of the
enormous boons that have been granted.
He expresses the opinion that the out
breaks and disorders in the provinces
arise? from the resentment of men who
are eager to return to work and who at
tack the strikers, who are rying to per
suade them to continue the strike.
This correspondent adds that no change
is contemplated in the Russian Ministry
or in the foreign policy of the govern
ment, which Is actuated by a desire for
friendly relations with all powers and
for a formal alliance with none but
France.

DEMANDS OF THK REDS.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 2. Spe
claL ElRht leading Democratic par
ties met last evening and formulated
their minimum demands, which hare
been forwarded through Count WItte
to the Czar.
They demand, first, that a secret
ballot be granted; secondly, oemptete
manhood roffrage; thirdly, eoraplete
abolition of the prerqnt existing re
gime and abdication of the Czar;
fourth, establishment of a repabttc
along Socialist lines.
The revolutionary leaders have ad
vised the populace to refrain from pre
cipitating a conflict in the city. Every
thing Is quiet here.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. "--Although
today passed In comparative quiet In St.
Petersburg and Moscow, a flood of dis
patches from all parts of the empire re
porta disorders in many cities, with a
heavy total of dead and wounded. Tho
people, while celebrating their new-found
freedom, were In many instances set upon
by Cossackj? and police, while sometimes
the spirit of mob violence broke forth
and the lower elements of the population
gave themselves to pillage and jlestruc-
tloa.
The most serious disorders apparently
occurred at Odessa, whore hundreds of
persona are reported to have been k'illed
or wounded and where the rioting is mo
mcntarlly expeoted to flare out into a
repetition of the slaughter of last July,
and at Kazan, where a three days reign
of terror was ended only by the retire
ment of all Cossacks to their barracks,
Vent Hatred on Jews.
A deplorable feature of the news from
the interior Is that anti-Jewish uprisings
have occurred in many places, especially
in Southern Russia, whore the populace
vented its hatred of the Jews by sacking
their stores and clubbing the members of
the race. In some cases resorting to the
torch,
The attacks on the crowds are reported
to be in many cases the work of Cos
sacks, who many times were apparently
let loose upon the people without dlrec
tlon or authority
In St. Petersburg today General Trepoff,
In accordance with the announcement ot
last night, prevented the resumption of
revolutionary demonstrations by having
the crowds dispersed whenever and wher
ever they gathered. Kazan Place and
the Nevsky Prospect were several times
cleared by Cossacks and police, and tho
crowds were driven from tho vicinity of
Ihe University with whips and the flats ot
sabers. General Trepoff was aided by the
weather, which was cold and rainy and
which kept many persons off the streets.
Liberals Refuse Wittc's Aid.
Count WItte task in securing a fair
trall for the new experiment In constitu
tionalism Is moat difficult. He la dis
appointed at not securing tho support of
the Liberals, on whoso co-opcratlon ho
counted. Many of these are holding
aloof and seem rather to enjoy the pre
dlcameit In which tho new Premier fines
himself.
Meanwhile the Socialists and Rcvolu
tionaries, who believe they have the gov
ernment stampeded, are bonding every
effort to keep the movement going and
to precipitate a catastrophe from which
they hope a. Socialist republic will emerge.
This is a consummation as little to bo
desired by the majority of Liberals, es
pecially the Zemstvolsts, as by the gov
ernment Itself, and therein lies the chief
hope that the force gathering under the
banner of Count WItte Is sufficiently
strong to make headway against the rev
olutlonary movement and the spirit of
unrest throughout the country.
Count WItte is doing his utmost to meet
the chief objections against the new
regime. In addition to the promises of
amnesty for political prisoners, liberty
of the press has been granted. Count
WItte offering to a deputation of editors
who called on him to demand the aboli
tion of the censorship regulation the
amusing explanation that In the hurry
of wrltlnc the manifesto the words "llb-
orty of the press were inadvertently
--t AmlttMl nri1 th.it thr hml!fm had not
been noticed until the complaint was
made. Tho Official Gazette'formally an
nounces that the term "liberty of speech
Is to be Interpreted as Including the
press.
Refuses to Remove Trepoff.
Against the demand for tlje removal of
General Trepoff, Count WItte. however,
is inflexible. He Informed delegates from
the strike committee, which called on
him today to demand the rcleaw of their
Imprisoned comrades and the removal of
General Trepoff, that It would bo mad
ness for him to dismiss the only man
capable of maintaining order In the city
at the present juncture.
Nominally for the purpose of perfect
ing their organization and gathering
funds, the strike committee tonight de
cided to call off the St. Petersburg in
dustrial strike at noon Friday next, but
to resume It at an opportune moment.
The St. Petersburg railroad men, how
ever, resolved to continue their strike.
declaring they have assurances that the
toldlera of tho railroad battalion will de
sert. If a. little persuasion in the way of
trains-wrecking Is employed.
No newspapers will be Issued tomorrow
and probably not until Friday at noon.
The printers have determined to work
only for tho Journals which refused to
submit themselves to the censorship reg
ulation?. The Publishers' Association has
met this determination by resolving to
disregard hereafter all circulars, issued
by the censor and to print what the mem
bers please. The only papers now ap
pearing are the official publications and
the Workingmen's Gazette, which tomor
row will contain an article attacking
Count Wltto and General Trepoff, call
ing the former "Sly Fox" and tho lat
ter "Ravenous Wolf."
Revolutionism Arc Scattered.
The first encountor here today oc
curred at the university In the Vas
sllla Ostrov district, where the stu
dents had resumed the delivering of
Inflammatory speeches to the gather
ing crowds. Towards noon, when tho
quay was a solid mass of workmen and
demonstrators, a squadron ot Cossacks
charged, using their whips and the
flats of their sabers. They drove the
crowd pellmcll along the rlvcr-fro"nt-Several
persons were Injured by being
trampled upon. Troops surrounded the
university and also cordoned tho Poly
technic Institute to prevent further
demonstrations.
In spite of the rain, an Immense con
course of people began gathering In
front of the Kazan Cathedral prior to
the official thanksgiving service. A
detachment of students of the Red
Cross, consisting of 50 girls with no
other appliance to minister to the
wounded than the Red Cross bands on
their arms and the banners which they
bore, ostentatiously appeared on the
scene. Orders, however, had been

SENATOR MITCHELL
WILL NOT RESIGN
Friends Declare He Will Not
Relinquish His Office.
DEPENDENT ON HIS SALARY
Vindication Before the Supreme
Court Is His Only Hope and
Without Scnntorship He
Conld Not Fight.
Thero will be no Democratic United
States Senator. John II. Mitcnou win
not resign. While Senator . Mitchell
will not discuss tha. matter, and while
he declines emphatically to mane anj
statement regarding his future course.
ther nre a few of those who knew mm
and were his friends In sunnier days
and who still remain loyal to him. that
hint at his Intentions and disclaim any
Idea on his part of relinquishing hl
hold upon the Senatorial chair.
Senator Mitchell is an old man. they
say, and is under the cloud of convic
tion. His political life is a thing or the
past, a dream of power. He Is a physi
cal wreck, a financial ruin, practically
alone, worried and harrassed by the
ever-present memory ot his trouble.
"The victim of charity In the poorhouse
Is a happy man compared to him," is
the way it Is put. And convicted, suf
fering. Impoverished, with no hope foi
future honors or continued office or
quiet age. one hope appears on the
waves of trouble which Is grasped, as
a drowning man grasps a straw the
possible favor of the Supreme Court
of the United States, upon the docket
of which his case now retits at bar.
Will Sot Abandon Office.
Upon the Supreme Court the Senator
hangs a hope of future vindication.
and until its voice la heard In Judg
ment he will not abandon his grasp
upon public office, unless some condi
tion a yet unforeseen arises -to cnange
his mind. There are two men In the
United States who can hasten the end
ot the Senator's term of office. One ot
these Is the Attorney-General, who can.
If he so desires, ask that the Senator's
case be set ahead on the docket and
scheduled for a speedy hearing; the
other Is ex-Senator John M. Thurston,
Senator Mitchell's counsel and attor
ney. These gentlemen could hasten
the end. provided the Supreme Court
should concur with the trial court and
bring the cause to a final close.
The voice of the people, united with
the expressed opinions of political
friends or foes or their petitions, wll?
have no weight with Senator Mitchell
so it Is said. Their pleadings have no
effect and will have none. If the re
quest, or the suggestion, had come In
another way ana from another source.
It might have been different. It is pre
dicted. If a delegation ot the business
men had gone to the Senator some
time ago. before any agitation had
been created, and If these men had
suggested that, for the welfare of the
state and Its future. It was best for
Senator Mitchell to ston aside, such
action might have borne fruit, though
this, too. is doubtful In the minds ot
those who should know.
While the Senator expresses no opinion
one way or the other. It is argued by
those who have been his confidant that
the resignation of the Senator and the
consequent appointment of a Democrat
by Governor Chamberlain to All the va
cancy would do no good to the state at
this time. It Is contended that no man.
no matter how strong in personality or
backed by what power, could go fresh
Into the Senate possessed of Influence or
strength. And no matter how strong the
man. his appointment as a Democrat
would In a great measure annul his ca
pacity for service.
Trial Drains His Purse.
Senator Mitchell needs the office, it is
-said, to carry his case to Its final ad
judication before tho Supreme Court. He
is not only broken In health but In wealth
as welL The expenses ot the trial were
heavy and the costs of the Supreme Court
are not light. The brief submitted by
the defense was a voluminous document
of some SCO pages prepared at a cost of
virtually 51000. Added to thts are many
other expenses all of which drain heavily
upon the purse, and to meet these calls
requires that Senator Mitchell have an
Income. Without the salary coming from
hls'offlce. which he still holds, there would
be no funds to meet the expenses of the
appeal upon which the Senator bases
his sole remaining hope.
"But what do Senator Mitchell's friends
think of the resignation question?" Is the
question asked, and the answer comes
in a pessimistic spirit.
"FrlcndsT Where are his friends?
Where are they that they did not seek
after his welfare while he rested an aged
and a sick man In the hospital with a
broken rib? If that accident had come
before this trouble a special man would
have had, to be stationed at the
hospital door with a basket to take the
cards that would have been sent up.
There are no friends to think of his resig
nation." Through all of the discussion Senator
Mitchell goes his way silently. He will
neither deny nor affirm. He refuses to
make any statement to forecast any fu
ture happening. He Is uncommunicative
and he Is unlikely to resign.
CASKS CROSS POLAR SEA
Brynnt-Melvllle Experiment Proves
Course of Currents.
PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 1. At a meet
ing of the Geographical Society of Phila
delphia tonight, the president. Henry G.
Bryant, the well-known explorer, made
the announcement that two of the
Bryant-Melville casks which were sent
adrift several years ago In the Polar Sea
have turned up. It was suggested some
years ago by R car-Admiral George W.
Melville that valuable data concerning
the speed and direction of Arctic currents
might be obtained by setting adrift
specially constructed casks In the Arctic
Ocean. Admiral Melville and Mr. Bryant
had SO casks constructed and thrown
overboard by United States revenue cut
ters and whaling ships.
Mr. Bryant announced that he had Just
heard from two of the casks. The first
was thrown overboard by the revenue
cutter Bear on August 21. 1S01. about SG
miles northwest of Wrangel Island, and
recovered by Captain A. G. Christlanson
on August 17, 1S02. near the mouth of
Kolychlng Bay on the coast of Siberia.
In the course of one year, less four days.
It had traveled 3S0 miles to the southeast,
and was probably Influenced by local
currents.
The other cask was placed on an Ice
floe northwest of Point Barrow, Alaska.
In latitude 71:53 N. and longitude 151:50
W. by the steam whaler Alexander on
September 13. 3339. It was recovered one
mile east of Cape Bauda Nuhr. on the
northern coast of Iceland, June 7. 1305..
Mr. Bryant said tho position ot the sec
ond cask proved the existence of a cur
rent from Behrlng Strait around the
clrcurapolar basin to the Arctic Ocean.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
Injrton. Nov. 1. Every dollar appropriated
for improving the mouth of the Columbia
River has been expended, including; ths
$40C.C0O carried in the last river and har
bor bill. The work which Is In progrress
today Is being: done on credit. Conrres.i
having authorized the expenditure of J3U),
C00 In excess of the amount actually ap
propriated, it being assumed that tr's
amount will be made available at the
comlnfc session. But the contracts now
In force expire December 31. 1905. and on
that date practically all of this $C0O,0CO wLl
have been consumed by contracts, so tha .
when Congress actually appropriates thvs
money. It will go to pay for work com
pleted, and not for work yet to be done.
Fund Nearly Exhausted.
The latest actual figures available In
the Engineer's office show the condition
of the Jetty fund on September 30. At
that time there was on hand an unex
pended balance of J159.622 In cash, to
gether with authority to expend 5Cft0W
additional, which, for practical purpose?,
mado available a total of 1453,622. But at
that date there were outstanding liabili
ties amounting to 5115.000, and two jton
contract's In force, -which must be paid,
amounting to $262,912. making a total o
J3TT.912. This represents the total expend
iture that will be made up to December
31. exclusive of the coat of placing ston
on the-Jetty during October. November
and December, and leaves an available
balance of 581.710. But a large part or
this balance will be consumed In placing
atone. on the Jetty, so that by the end c
the year there will be only a few dollars
remaining unused.
When the new year opens, the Arrrv
engineers will not only have expended a I
the money that has been appropriated,
but will have exhausted their credit, ar.l
will be obliged to suspend work on the
Jetty, and they cannot resume operations
until Congress makes a new appropriation
Meanwhile the contractors who are fi
nishing stone must wait until the end rf
the next session of Congress before thev
can secure the 5252.312 which Is due them
for stone now being delivered.
Xeeds $1,250,000 to Finish.
Major Lang flu. on duty at the office of
the Chief of Engineers, says that approx
imately 51,250,000 Is necessary to eomple e
the Jetty, which will extend It seawall
about one mile beyond the point where It
now ends. He Is satisfied, as Is the Chief
of Engineers, that the best results will be
obtained by appropriating this full amount
at the coming session, so that the Jettv
can be rushed to completion next season If
possible. Like General Mackenzie, he be
lieves a suspension of work will mean
considerable damage, especially to the
tramway, a loss which would be large'v
avoided If work could be resumed nex
Spring.
The reasons why the money appropriated
and authorized at the last session was
expended so rapidly was to demonstrate
that the completed Jetty will Increase the
depth on the bar, to give Portland th
benefit of a deep channel at the earliest
possible day, and to open the way for an
appropriation this Winter sufficient to en
able the engineers to complete the jetty.
Smaller Sum Xo Use.
The engineer officers frankly say that
no advantage will be gained In securinsr
an appropriation this Winter of two or
three or four hundred thousand dollars.
They need a large appropriation, which
will enable them to make big contracts
for stone and push Jetty work as they
have done during the past season. In
their opinion, nothing is to be gained by
securing small appropriations, which wPl
drag the work out through several years
and In the end materially Increase Its
cost. These engineers are thoroughly alhe
to the Importance of hastening the com
pletion ot the Jetty; they want to do thl3
next year; they believe Portland's com
merce demands It; they believe the Inter
ests of the Government demand It.
Must Send Strong Delegation.
But the responsibility for getting this
appropriation rests upon the Oregon dele
gation very largely, and the stronger the
delegation the better Its chance of secur
ing the necessary appropriation. In dis
cussing the jetty project today. Major
Langfltt said It was made a continuing
contract by the last Congress In a lim
ited way; that Is. Congress appropriated
5400,000 cash and authorized additional
contracts amounting to 5200.000. But that
fact does not make the Jetty project a,
continuing contract in the sense that it
will be provided for every year In the
