the charge of assault and battery on

THE JEWS IN RUSSIA.

A DELEGATION of Jews waited upon the Presi-
dent yesterday with a request that he would
use his influence, through Minister Curtin,
in behalf of the Jews of Russia, who are now
being sub bjected to cruel persecution. The
answer of the President was frank and to the
point. He said that it was too late in this
day of enlightenment to persecute any race,
color, or religion, and he promised to aid in
procuring more humane treatment for the
people of the Hebrew race in Russia by inter
ceding for them with the Gar. President
Grants language was a little remarkable, con
sidering his position, and it has created con-
siderable commotion among the foreign diplo-
matists at Washington, who conceive it to be
an indication that our Government in the
future intends to adopt policy of interfe-
renee in the affairs of other nations for the
protection of the oppressed and for the propa
cation of republicanism. The Presidents
words, however, will not bear any such inter
pretation; he merely said plainly what he
honestly thought, and there is no probability
that he will attempt to interfere in this mat
ter except in perfectly proper and dignifed
manner.
Although the dispatches from Washington
speak of an Imperial ukase against the Rus
sian Jews, there is reason to believe that the
present persecution is due to the revival by
subordinates of an ancient law of the empire
against them, and that it is without the
sanction of the Czar. The cordial and friend
ly feeling that has always prevailed between
the United States and Russia will give Presi-
dent Grants request in a matter of this kind
more weight than if it came from any of the
monarchs of Europe. 1t is perfectly proper
request to make, and it is to be hoped that il
will succeed in accomplishing the desired
object During the last Presidential cam
paign General Grant was bitterly assailed be,

tain Jewish traders, and many persons of the

THE SPANISH GUNBOATS.

AN effort will be made during the present
week to secure the release of the gunboats
which have been constructed in New York
for the use of the Spanish Government, and
legal controversy of national interest is
likely to arise from this procedure. The pre-
text on which they were originally seized may
prove untenable. The Peruvian Minister
asserted that he feared they might be en-
ployed to wage war against his Government,
but as active hostilities between Spain and
Peru ceased many months ago, and as Spain is
probably willing to give the most decisive
assurance that the gunboats will not be used
against Peru, their discharge can scarcely he
successfully resisted if new grounds for their
detention are not presented. Fortunately an
amendment of our neutrality laws which was
made in 1917 will apparently forbid the de-
parture of the gunboats during the con-
tinuance of the Cuban insuTection,
even if the Peruvian pretext is over
ruled. Half a century ago, when
the South American republics were striving
to gain their independence, Spain was exceed
lngly anxious that the United States should
abstain from every form of interference in
her wars with her refractory colonies, and at
her instance Congress passed law forbidding
the fitting out or arming of any vessel in our
ports which was intended ''to cruise or COM
NIT hostilities against the subjects, citizens,
or property of any foreign prince or State, or
Of any colony, district, or people NTH 'chom
tie United States are at peace" This law has
direct application to the matter at issue.
We are certainly at peace with the insurgents,
and the force of the enactment can only be
broken by denial that they constitute, in a
legal sense, a colony, district, or peo-
pie. The law manifestly forbids us
from permitting the Cubans to fit out
cruisers in our ports against Spain, and it is
alleged that it is equally potent in prohibiting
Spain from fitting out gunboats in our ports
to cruise against the Cubans The question
will probably arise, however, whether the in
surgents can have any status in our courts,
or any valid claim to be considered colony
district, or people, in advance of the formal
concession of beligerent rights and it is not
unlikely that, even while this discussion is
pending, Congress may give to Cespedes and
his compatriots the recognition they have so
long sought in vain. Under these circum-
stances, there is comparatively little danger
that the American people will be humiliated
by an acknowledgment that Spain can forge
weapons on our soil to perpetuate her ty-
ranpical rule over contiguous island.

ANOTHER POST OFFICE IMPROVEMENT.
GENERAL BINGHAM is indefatigable in his efforts to
bring the Philadelphia Post ONCE up to the highest
state OF efficiency, and to make it a model of its
kind. His latest improvement Is an extension OF
the hours for the transaction of money busi-
ness Afew days ago General Bingham notified the
Post ONCE Department that he proposed to keep
open the money-order department Of the Philadel-
phia Post Ohice on Wednesdays aud Saturdays until
8 P. M, in order that the laboring classes might
avail themselves OF its facilities without neonve- =
nence. The Postmaster General has approved OF
this change, which will go into operation to-day
This arrangement will be appreciated by
all classes Of the community, and it
will undoubtedly have the effect OF making money
orders more popular than ever. General Bingham
is entitled to the thanks of the community for
this and other important improvements he has intro
duced, as well as for the very efficient manner in
which he has managed the Post Oflice in this city
with view to the convenience of citizens. 1t is
not often that public officer gives such entire salts
faction as General Bingham has done, and he is un-
doubtedy the most efficient and capable Postmaster
that philadelphia has ever had.

The London Times has espoused the cause
of Denmark in the matter of the st. Thomas
cession, and not only urges the United States
to complete the bargain, but expresses the
expectation that the purchase treaty will be
ratified by the Senate. "The Americans, "
says the Times, can lose but little, while
they might gain great deal. This is all very
true. The only thing we should lose would be
trife of ten millions of dollars, which is GER
tainly mere bagatelle by the side of our
national debt; while we should gain a first
class assortment of volcanoes, earthquakes,
and tidal waves, which are certainly very
handy things to have on hand in these dull,
piping times of peace.

THE IRREcoNcnABLEs showed their hand at
the first meeting of the Corps Legislatif yes
terday. Impertinent questions were put to
the Government concerning the postpone
ment of the time for the meeting of the Le-
gislative Body, and other embarrassing
points, Deputy Raspail even going so far as
to demand the impeachment of the Ministers.
Great excitement was produced by the intro
duction of these measures, and the session is
described as being stormy one. 1t is very
evident that something more substantial than
mere promises on the part of the Emperor
will be required to satisfy the demands of the
French people, in their present temper.
