EATOUM‘_AND TIFLIS GLUTTED WITH BOD- IES OF DEAD. 8t Petersburg, Feb: 27.—The reports “koth from Poland and the Cepicasus are very-disquieting. Owing to lack of direct telegraphic -communication with many places in' the Caucasus verification ‘of ‘the countless numgx;s' afloat is impossible, but it is positive- Iy known that alniost @ reizn of terror exists in the territory between the Cagpiau and Black seas. Private: ven- geance has glutted the streets of Baku, Batoum and Tiflis with dead Arme: nians and Mussulmans. The reports, however, of the capture of Russian garrisons and “of the firing of the Black sea fleet: on Poti,etc,, are not confirmed: In Poland the strike situation is once more assuming a critical stage and it 1§ feared the authorities may again be forced to adopt violent meas- ures. 2 The railroad strike situation in Southern Russia-is also more serious. Traffic on half a Cozen roads has been | Btopped, causing still' further difficul- ties in-the transportation of-grain and coal and bringing business to a stand- still. Over 150,000 carloads: of grain await movement in the Volga district and several hundred thousand tons. of coal for the iron and steel manufac- ' { tories cannot Dbe budged from the Donetzky collieries. Added to this is the dahgerous agrarian movement among the peasants of some of the Southern provinces as a result of the circulation of the report that the em- peror, March 4, will issug a manifesto providing for a general division of lands, which has been the dream of the peasants ever since their emanel- pation. Here in St. Petersburg the workmen are in a constant state of' agitation, The employers are unable to deal with the men, who walk out and: resume work on -alternate days. There are now over 40,000 mén idle and walking the streets. GONSTANT RIUTING AT BAKU SCORES KILLED OR V/OUNDED AND. MANY HOUSE; PLUN-" DERED AND BURNED. Tiflis, Caucasia, Feb. 27.—Details of the recent street fighting at Baku show that thirty-five. persons were killed or wounded Feb. 20.and that on the following day the racial bitterness Dbetween the Mussulmans and Arme- nians reached a climax. ders were incessant and firing lasted all day long. Altogether a hundred people were killed or wounded. Shops were plundered and as ‘the garrison was inadequate; Teinforcements of five battalions of infantry with, artillery and two squadrons of Cossacks had to be.called in and used their arms to suppress tlie outbreak. Further dis: I [ turbances occurred Feb. 22. The resi- dences ‘of the wealthiest inhabitants were plundered and burned. The gov- ernor traversed all the quarters of the city exhorting the people to cease hos- tilities and the Armenians and Mussul- aman clergy met and embraced in pub- lc and expressed a desire for a recon- ciliation of their peoples. The rioting was. thereupon suspended; but: again’ broke out Feb, 24.~ - SERIOUS RIOTING ‘AT BATOUM.

The whole market vyielded during the course-.of the first- hour and prices ‘in some cases lell below the previous night. The opexning gains in a number of stocks had run From 1 to 2 points and upwards. Commis- sion houses as a rule reported in- creased business from various out of town points. ‘Phe buying of Pennsyl- vania and Union Pacific, New York Central and several of the more active: issues was of such indiscriminate and general character as to defy analysis. The lone of the stock market was feverish and unsettled for a time, with heayy realizing in- the active leaders, but after the appearance of the favor- dble bank statement the most active stocks shot up again and the market became very animated again, New York Central touched 160%, Pennsyl- vania went near to 144 and St. Paul touehed 186.
