A despatch from Bie!stock, Russia, says: A massacre of Jews occurred here on Thursday, in which hundreds wero killed and wounded and Jewish shops demolished. The outbreak was the result of the throwing of a bomb at a Corpus Christi procession that was pass- ing Alexandrovski Street. Someone threw a bomb from a balcony among the processionists, killing a priest and many others. It is alleged that a Jew- ish Anarchist threw the bomb, and It 1s asserted that other Jews immediately followed the throwing of the bomb by discharging revolvers from windows Into the crowd. Soldiers hastily sur- rounded the house and poured volleys through the windows. Meanwhile Christians attacked the whole Jewish quarter, smashing shops and houses, trampling upon goods that had been thrown into the streets, and hunting the Jews, whom they beat and hacked. A number of Jews, who were pursued by a mob, fled to the railway station, where several of there wero caught and killed. Three were taken from the upper storey of the station to the street. The Jews are fleeing from Bielostok to the neigh- boring forests, and mobs are pursuing them. I)etachme f the dragoon have Jewss been sent out to protect arriving here on trains have been drag- ged from the cars, and many of them have been murdered. Troops have Cleared the railway station. der of Chief of Police Derkatchoff on June 10, which was attributed to Jewish bundists, Is given as the explanation of the explosion of a bomb during a reli- gious procession. This was followed by revolver fusilades in several quarters uf the city. The police are sail not to have attempted to interfere in the early s'ages of the riot. The Jews, who num- ber three-fourths of the population of the city, offered the best resie ance pos- sible, many of them being armed, but were unable to prevent the pillaging of their homes and places of business. Finally the military Interfered, hut, according to advices received here, with- out being able to restore order. Rein- forcements have been rushed to Bielos- tok from Grodno. Several members of Parliament en Friday night received messages from Jewish correspondents at Bielostok de- claring that the police apparently had given over the Hebrew population to slaughter and pillage. These corres- pondents urged that the only hope was in an appeal to the Ministry of the In- terior to interfere in their behalf. A delegation of deputies immediately called at the headquarters of the Police De- partment, where they were informed that all measures possible had been taken to stop excesses and restore order. APPEAL TO GOVERNMENT. A despatch from St. Petersburg says : The latest despatches from Bielostok report a situation of the utmost gravity. The antinghioutbreak raging ; gtngwnprogress in the streets; firing was continuous; the best stores in the city had been sacked, and many wero dead or wounded.

Ten -year-old Girl R Plunges Into a Ratting Mill A despatch from London, Ont., says: Another drowning accident was aur- rowly averted on Wednesday night by a magnificent act of Craver•y on the part c i 10 -year-old Violet Wilson, who lives near the Meadow Lily Mills on the north branch of the Thames. For sheer pluck the deed that snatched little Louisa Har- ris, 7 -year-old daughter of F. G. Ifurris, from a watery grave has never been equaled here. With other children, Luo- isa was playing teeter-totter on the riv- e: bank, when she fell off the board into the mull race and was swept away Ly the swift current. To dash into a rag- ing torrent, such as the Meadow Lily Mill race is after being sw•ullen by the recent heavy rains, is an act which might make many a strong man hesi- tate, but Violet Wilson, who happened I) be passing, without an instant's in- decision uttered a cry of "Lou shan't drown if 1 can help it," plunged into the current, and, half -drowned herself, succeeded In bringing the other child to shore. Both were carried far down the stream before this was accomplished, however, and it was fully an hour before little Louisa regained consciousness. SITUATION IN PROVINCES. The London Times' correspondent at St. Petersburg cables as follows :—The Bourse on Thursday was terribly de- pressed on large selling orders from Paris. Fours fell to the unprecedented figure of seventy-two. it is rumored that some provincial banks are on the eve of suspending the payment of in- terest on their bonds. Such a step would infallibly cause a financial cata- clysm. The situation in the provinces is going from bad to worse and agrar- ian disturbances ore reported to be ex- tending north, involving even Tver and Novgorod. Outrages in the Baltic pro- vinces are daily increasing and another revolutionary outburst there appears Imminent. An Ottawa despatch says: With an aggregate foreign trade amounting to 8483,234.889 and exports to the amount of 8208,233,972, every branch of which exhibits en increase, Canada's commerce continues to expand at a phenomenal rate, and the farmer is enjoying a large share of this great prosperity. The total foreign trade shows a gain of 874,037,160 for the eleven months end- ing May 31 when compared with the same exp expiod of ortse wprevious wre$208,233972, Tlia gain of $42,135,848. Although Imports for consumption were considerably more Icing 8257,421,427, they do not show as lorge an increase. The betterment was only 524,146,800, or a little less than one - hall that of the exports. Agriculture contributed most of the exports, as will be seen from the following statement:— Agricultural products, total $50,148,583, increase $22,409500; animals and their products. total $60,002,343, Increase $3,- e14.35e; products of the mine, total 830,- 9,753, increase 3,789,701; fisheries, to. tat $i3,A72,234.

A Baltimore, Md., despatch says : A million dollar fire on Wednesday wiped out the big Savannah docks of the Mer- chants' and Miners' Transportation Company, destroyed the steamer Essex, of that line, all the valuable freight with which the dock was crowded, and a number of scows loaded with cotton and rosin, with their freights, besides caus- ing great anxiety as to the fate of the crew of the Essex, said to have consisted of about forty men. All of the Essex crew, save two, are known to have es- caped. The two others were almost certainly burned to death, as they were apparently unconscious when last seen by their fleeing mates. They were Ed- ward Atkinson, a cabin assistant, and John Costello, a fireman. The burning steamer and scows drifted to the s side of the harbor, and for a time t were grave fears that extensive da would be done there, as the wind ca the flames from the vessels directl ward the shore and shipping on side, but the firemen were successf preventing serious damage there.

The vessel, which is commanded by Captain Nielsen, arrived here cn Wednesday from Philadelphia, landed her passengers and proceeded to lluskis- r.on Dock early on Thursday in order to unload. 'rhe stevedores were in the act of loosening the hatchers when the ex- plosion occurred. 1t blew off the hatch- es, rent the decks and hurled dead and wounded inen 1n all directions. Several bodies were dismembered, and the deck resembled the floor of a charnel house. The explosion, which, according to ru- inor, was caused by an infernal machine was followed by the outbreak of fire. The cargo, consisting of linseed oil cake; in 1 old No. 2 and hold No. 3 was soon blaz- ing fiercely. Firemen and polce hurried lc the dock, and the injured were quick- ly taken to a neighboring hospital, while the work of searching for further pos- sible casualties proceeded with vigor, in spite of the fierceness of the fire. After two hours' hard fighting the firemen ob- tained the mastery of the flames. 1.ater it was said that the disaster on board this Haverford was apparently caused by the explosion of a barrel of naphtha.
