On Sunday Morning Twelve Patrolmen and Sol- diers Were Killed by the Mob. St. Petersburg, Sept, 10. -The predic- tions made in these despatches on Avg, 23, of a Jewleh massacre at Siedlee, Rus- sian Poland, unhappily hove been justi- fied by the fighting which broke out on Saturday night and developed yesterday into a carnival of indiscriminate slaugh- ter and pillage in whichthe soldiere and the mob took part, Unfortunate ;lows were shot and bayonetted in the streets of the town. Houses and shops were broken into and sacked. Valuables were carried off and offered for sale by sot- diers to passengere on passing trains. In addition to the Jews a number of Christ- ians and even some officers met their death in the fighting. The number of victims has not yet been established, but a conservative estimate places it at 140. iThe Jewish fugitives who thronged the railroad stations at Siedlce, are in 2 state of panic, Reports reeeived here from Warsaw and other tweein the yicinity of Siedlce, place the number of victims at eeveral hundred': The early repOrts of the SiedIce mas- eeeeeres put the' responsibility at the door of the Terrorists,,but fugitives declare that the soldiers never would have been allowed to get so completely out of hand Without the connivance, if not the actual direction of their officers. liferleeiiiIT)Fea'airiiiir alystok massacre last June said. the Ter- rorists; wereeto -blarieeetteeee aJsaeeel .It isdiffioutt to ' obtaineitetstile- 41 *iiki trouble ale Siodlce *as 'thetown! wale atiii woutided yesteeday by golaiers and no- body was allowed to .ente.r. Passengers, hewever, who arrived at Warmer during the night, gave the following account of the slaughter: After, the murder of a policeman by terrorists on Saturday night and the fir- ing of a. volley by troops into the as- sembled crowds, which resulted in the killing of two citizens and the wounding of many more, the terrorists held a meetb- ing and decided to exact vengeance by inaugurating a general campaign against the police and the troops, similar to the recent. activity- Illong the same lines in Warsaw. In the course of Sunday morn- ing, twelve patrolmen and soldiers were killed. As n result of this the Libau regiment, in a. state of infuriated anger, left its barracks in the afternoon and mraehed into the Jewish quarter, shoot- ing right and left as it went. The troops were joined by crowds of Hooligans, who eo-operated in the plundering and wan- tonly destroyingeverything they were unable or undesirous of carrying away. The sale of booty by the soldiers went on under the very eyes of their officers. At a late hour in the afternoon the Kaluga, regiment arrived from Biala and measures were instituted to put a stop to the pogrom. In spite of this, however, the shooting continued up to a late hour last night. A correspondent of the Associated Press, who was not able to get into Sied- Ice yesterday, started for the second time this menthe; Siedlee is a town of 30,000 people, hallofwhom are Jews. 200 Jews Killed. Warsaw, Sept. 10. -(Bulletin) -.Artil- lery was used in Siedlee this morning, puddings on Pienkna, Warsaw and Al- lena streets have been destroyed. Ae- cording to reports received here, 200 Jew') were balled and, 3,000 were wounded dur- ing the pogrom. • Buildings Now in Flames.. .SiedIce, Sept. 10. -Six buildings in the big bazaar of the city are now in flames, adding another terror to the killing and plundering which has been going on here for the last thirty-six hours. Frequent shots and occasional volley firing IS still heard in different parts of the town,but because of the general panic it is difficult Lo learn accurately just what is trans- piring. As far as it is possible to learn there. has been up to the present time about 60 persons killed and 200 wounded. Hundreds of Jews are assembled to -day at the railroad station awaiting means of getting away, but the town is sur- rounded by troops who do not permit exit or entrance. Field guns are posted on the principal streets. There seems to be no doubt that the terrorists are responsible for provoking the massacre by their fusilades from roofs and windows on Saturday egainst soldiers and policemen who were patrol- ling the streets. Troops surrounded the houses from which this firing came, and. poured vet- elea.tilleehgloeeindOetteetensl . This was fuliewed by a search of the orepeeses, .i,eliiche • soon developed. into nebeeepie,•peencepring and subsequently iiitSeemassaC:te anitelaughter throughout alt '5eportion,. of the town. Almost all tlIe Swish shops have been looted. Own- ers who defended their' property were killed or wounded. Any person seen leaving a. house or looking out of a window WS .shot with- out mercy. The Massacre. Siedlce, Poland, Sept, 10. -A Jew- ish massacre surpassing in seriousness all previous ones in this vicinity took place here Saturday and Sunday. It was care- fully planned' before hand, the soldiers warning all of the Christian population in advance to hang out their ikons so that they might remain undietorbed. Saturday night •sonie terrorists killed Iwo soldiers and thereupon the Libau regiment broke forth in unrestrained fury. They began murdering Jews on ev- ery hand and continued the work of slaughter all night Saturday, and all day Sunday. The ghastly work of murdering and pillaging continued until early to- day when Gov. -Gen. Skelton telegraphed for permission to use the artillery. Four batteries then opened fire down Pienkna, Warsaw and Aliena streets, which were inhabited by thousands of Jews. The destruction was horrible. As a result of the general slaughter, it is estimated that fully 200 Jews have been killed and 1,000 wounded. There are 3,000 pri- soners in custody, a great many of whom are wounded. Not a soldier was killed. This morning squads of soldiers were parading through the streets selling pit. laged watches and jewelry. The army officers openly countenana ed the selling of loot. The local governor Look no steps to prevent the outrage ROBBED AND TARRED. TWO MEN ATTACK RICHARD FORD NEAR BOWMANVILLE. They Surprise Him, Pour Tar on Him, Rifle His Pockets and Start to Beat and Kick Their Victim -Ford Re- gains His Feet and Puts Both of His Assailants to Flight. Bowmanville, Sept. 9.-11r. Richard Ford, a respeetable mechanic, working in the Bowmanville foundry, was on his way home between 7 and 8 o'clock last night, carrying ea armful of pro- visions and groceries for the family. When passing under the old overhead bridge in the abandoned railway track, less than a quarter of a mile north of the new main line of the Grand Trunk between Darlington station and 13ow- maniville, Ford was accosted: by a num who said "Good -night." At that me - anent another man sprang into the road and the two seized. Ford, one hugging him, holding his arms, while the other seized him by the throat. They threw him to the ground, tied his halals with a handkerchief. They asked if he had a revolver, ,It is known in the neigh- borhood that he keepsione in the house, which is situated in a solitary place a long distance froin any neighbors, and eloso to the lakeside. He said he had no such weapon with hint and asked them what they wanted. They said money. Ile said he had not nuichtbut they could have it. The man to14 him if he would keep quiet they would not kill him. 11e kept quiet while they rifled his pockets, and took a small quautity of change. Appareatly angry at, finding so lit- tle money, they besmeared his head and forehead with common tar and began pounding Fool's face and kicking lum. Up to this time the one had been kneel- ing on Ford's, legs and holding hini down. Thinking from their actions that t hey intended muraering him, Ford made a sudden desperate effort to rise. and got one leg free, with which le kicked frcen him one of his assail- ants and got ou his feet. Being 0, man of known skill in self-defence be with lands firmly tied, besmeared, with tar and blood streaming from his nose, be - gen using his legs, and the cowards took to their heels with Ford in hot pur- suit. They ran towards oode's Retool - house, the nearest building. Ford, finding himself somewhat tee- -I' haunted and dazed by the blows he had reeeived, deaths' to go to Mr. Samuel Alt's, the nearest farm hous(', nod, being eti badly bettered and bleeding, Mr. Allin drove him to town. where 1)r.

Ford came with 111 swife and two young chilih•en from Plymouth, Eng., last silting, and worked for a few weeks at farming, but owing to some eisagreement Wit2 discharged by his employer, and has since worked in this town. He says he can identify one of the men and to -morrow morning will lay information with Chief Jarvis., and in all probability an arrest will be made. At the scene of the attack the grass was besmeared with tar. A harvest mit worn by the assailant of Ford while putting tar on and the stick that had been used for stineng the ter were found. Ford. also has the rope and handkerchief. A clue to the reason for the attack may be found in the statement of the man who did the talking. Before starting to pound Ford, this man srdet. "If we don't kill you, will you leave tbe country by Monday?" Ford would not promise, and then the brutal treatment began. • • • WIDOW DID NOT LIKE WILL. Ziegler Left Bulk of Estate to Adopted Son. New York, Sept. 10. -The Sun says: When the will of the late William Zieg- ler was filed for probate after his death, in May laht year at his country place at Noroton, Conn., it was found that he left practically the whole of his estate to his adopted son, Win. Ziegler, jun., and that to his widow he had bequeath- ed only an annuity of $50,000 a year, his country house and his town residence at 624 Fifth avenue. The widow was dissatisfiedwith the provisions of the will, although she was willing that the greater part of the estate should go to the adopted son. She started to contest the will, alleg- ing that her linsband's mental condition as to enable him to make a. praper testi- tnentary disposition of his property. Since the announcement of the begin- ning of the suit, nothing has been heard of it until yesterday. The accounting filed With Surrogate Fitzgerald by the exceto tors showed a settlement had been made with the widow. The account shows that she 'consented to settle the suit for a payment of $2,185,080. The executors are Justin Wm. ;T. Crty- nor, Wm. S. Champ and the 'widow, Mrs. 11. Matilda Zeigler, The report of the executors shows that after all expendi- tures in estate hove been met the residue remaining to the exedit of the adopted son, who is now 15 years old, amounts to$13,831,185. The boy will not come into his in- heritanee uutil ite eaches the age of 40 years and it is estimated that by that time the estate which will emu to Inin will lame increased to at least #40,000,- 000.

Christopher Little, a Carpenter of To- ronto, Shoots Himself in the Head -Had Made Previous Threats - Was Unusually Despondent Last Week. Toronto, Sept. 10. -"Pay Bob the ten cents" was the last request made by Christopher Little just before he expired, after shooting himself in the head with a revolver, Little, who resided with his son-in-law, William Thompson, and Allan Smith, at 217 Dalhousie street, was 58 years of age, and a carpenter. He had several times threatened to put an end to himself, but little attention was paid to his threats. Last week lie appeared unusually' despondent, and. although he had work to go to, seemed to have no inclination to do anything. At 12.90 yes- terday morning Constable Wood (205) was informed by Thompson and Smith that Little had shot himself, and on go- ing to the house the officer found him sitting on a lounge in the kitchen with a revolver clenched tightly in his right hand. He had shot himself in the head, the bullet having penetrated from the right temple to the left. "Pay Bob teu cents" was the only remark he made, and subsequent police inquiries elicited the fact that he had borrowed earlier in the day ten cents from Robert Granger, a painter. Little became unconscious and was hurried to the General Hospital, where he died at 4.30. Coroner Pickering is investigating the case, but there will be no inquest.

Relations of Great Britain and france Count. New York, Sept. 0.-A cable to The Sun from London, says: It is known that the Raiser desires 10 establish friendly relations with Great Britain. This seems to be a laudalOe• and pacific ambition, and as such no deubt it was made to appear in everything that pass. ed between the two Monarchs. The significant phase of the situation is, how- ever, that Germany's overtures of friendship have in them a menacing note. This is made abundantly clear this Week by an article in The Deutsche Revue, which, it has been ollowed to be- come known, was "Inspired in tbe high- est quarters" The article begins by describing the meeting between Em- peror William and Ring Edward as 'tee most momentous event of last month." It speaks of the emeliality which pre- vailed at the meeting, and implies that the conference may have paved the way for a closer and better understandieg between eiermaey and Great Britain. Unfortunately the writer goes on to assert, though with great politeness of language that Great Britain has now two alternatives before her; either a pol- icy "which might easily become disas- trous to the Anglo-French counterpoise," or that of including Germany within the eirclo of her frientChips-, The menacing note of ,the alternative is enhanced by another phrase in the article, which infers that Great.Brithin is giving encouraftement to French diplo- macy, "the object of which be to hem in Germany diplomatically, with the help of Great Britain, Russia and othei States, so closely that the ultimate and inevitable attempt of Germany to break through the circle should end only by her diplomatic and military defeat." Another significant passage is the fol- lowing: "A year ago the belief did ex- ist in Germany that our relations with Great Britain were in a stage analogous to tbe relations of Prussia nad Austria before 1806, and that in all probability a cordial understanding would have to be preceded by a sharp .encounter." The writer goes on, however, to de- clare that the estrangement which ren- dered such a belief possible, though it may not have been justified, is past. He says: "Both nations may feel con- fident that it will be possible to arrive at it cordial agreement without any pre- vious armed conflict." - In spite of this carious assurance the reference to Austria is not it little al- armieg. Austria was undoubtedly forc- ed into the German alliance by her de- feat at Hadowa, and Prussia, succeeded naturally, carrying out her threat of "Be my brother, or I will slay you." In addition to these more open men - ayes there runs throughout the a rticle) the warning that Germany will not tol- erate Great Britain's making friends with Russia =lees Great Britain's nego- tiations are settled to the satisfaction of Germany. This language, representing as it un- doubtedly !does, the Emperor's present attitude and policy, has aroused deep resentment in this country. It will be seen that Germany's pres- ent purpose is clear, and perhaps from her own point of view the best available under the circumstances, It may be said without hesitation that any at- tempt on her part to alienate Great Britain and. France will fail. What she will do when she fully realizes that it is impossible to say, but the Kaiser will have les); excuse than ever for disturb- ing the space o fthe world in, such a sit- uation.
