The Cossacks at Tiflis massacred a thousand people, including children. French correspondents attribute the deed to the Viceroy’s orders.

M. do Witte told the Zemstvos deputation that General Xrepoff was the only man supporting his efforts for the largest possible reforms. He admitted that the Government was unable to pacify the country, not possessing the confidence of the people, and that universal suffrage is impossible because it would raise the whole Jewish question. (Received November 8, 7.44 a.m) St. Petersburg, November 7 An official communique attributes the disturbances to mutual embitterment of sections of the population, which is due to the manifesto of the 30th. The only means of combatting the disorders is to be found in all classes becoming permeated with the conviction that the reforms will be inflexibly realised. The Government relies on the loyal, peaceable and thoughtful majority for the development of Russia on the lines of civil liberty and the country’s territorial integrity, and particularly upon the Press for union between the intellectual forces of the nation. The banks and shops in Odessa have re-opened. (Received November 8, 8.40a.ra.) London, November 7. Dr. Hermann Ardler, the Chief Rabbi, has received telegrams from Russia to the effect that many Jewish communities are entirely destroyed. The position is awful. The English Jews are adopting measures for the relief of their coreligionists. St. Petersburg, November 7 At Tiflis on Saturday there was pandemonium and butchery.

Civil war is raging in the Caucasus, which is practically isolated.

The railway bridges and telegraph lines have been destroyed. Secret plans for the massacre of Jews are being organised. In Warsaw the Jews are terribly excited.

Large detachments of troops and artillery are camped in the square.
