About noon . the situation :. became somewhat Improved. There was. no. at tempt this morning to renume business. There Is little, doubt that the' revolt wss organised by the bureaucracy, . which has furnished arms to the marauders. More than 6.000 revolvers were taken awsy from- the mob by the student militia. r ' i. It Is estimated that 6,000 persons have lost their lives here during the, last three, days, fully half of whom were Jews'. The only restraining influence la the whole city during this time has been thst exerted by the volunteer militia, composed principally xf students, and many hundreds of therif have fallen vie tlms both to the mob and to the Cos sacks. , '. -.-..-- ,,-.: Today there 'are hundreds of bodies lying along the street.
