Death Drawing Nigh to the Free
Traders.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 10, 1872.

WASHINGTON. Feb. ~, 1872.
The free traders sustained another defeat
in the House to-day in their attempt TO in
struct the Ways and Means Committee to
bring in bill abolishing the duty on coal
and salt, and also in their efforts to prevent
the passage of Judge Mercur's bill discon-
tinuing the duties ON tea and coffee. Mr..
Hale, of Maine, as is customary on Mon
day with him, offered his resolution about
coal and salt, and moved a suspension of
the rules. Mr.. DAVIS appealed to the House
to decide, once for all whether the Ways
and Means Committee would be allowed to
transact its business in the committee room,
or whether it was to be done in the House.
He was tired of this way of doing things.
The House defeated Mr.. Hales resolution
by large vote, and it is to be hoped he
will now subside. Following close upon
the defeat of Mr.. Hales resolution, Judge
Mercur, of Pennsylvania, moved to dis.
charge the Committee of the Whole from
the further consideration of the bill abolish
ing the duty on tea and coffee. He also
moved to suspend the rules, take up the
bill and pass it, There was good deal of
squirming among the free traders, and in
order to bring them to test Judge Sco-
field called for the yeas and nays. Cox and
others on the Democratic side tried to de-
bate the bill, but no debate being In order,
Mr.. Dckey kept on calling for the regular
order until at last the Speaker directed the
clerk to call the roll. The vote stood
yeas 153, nays 3S. The bill now goes TO
the Senate, and it is believed it will pass
that body. The following Democrats from
Pennsylvania voted in favor of Hale's reso-
luton for free coal and free salt Messrs.
Acker, Storm, Huldeman, b. Il. Myers,
and Getz. E'

WHEN OUR CASE WAS RECEIVED.

In the House of Commons tonight Mr..
Gladstone replied to an inquiry as to the
time was the American case on Alabama
claims were received. He admitted that a
few copies reached England in December,
but nearly all were sent to tho Foreign
Office, diplomatic corps, and arbitrators
themselves. 1t was only about the first of
February that the Cabinet was supplied
with the document. When he first saw the
case he thought it was an able argument in
regard to the Alabama claims, but he was
surprised to find other important questions
were introduced.
The House subsequently engaged in de-
bate on the subject of emigration.

Hostility to the Jews-Isrealites In.
discriminatory Slaughtered
by Natives.

LONDON, Feb. l7.-Advice received in
this city state that the Jewish persecution
in Roumania is increasing. Large num-
bers of Jews daily fall victims to the hatred
of the native inhabitants, over whom the
authorities exercise no control Murder in
public is frequent aud unpunished. Un-
fortunate Isrealites are subjected to every
species of indgnity and persecution their
enemies can devise. Their dwellings are
fired by riotous mobs, and lives are not un-
frequently sacrificed to complete the hola-
caust. Relentless persecution has compell-
ed many to leave the territory. Numbers
of these refugees are placing themselves
under Turkish protection. In the city of
Kahul the persecution has been developed
in the bloodiest aspect. Seventy Israelites,
including defenseless woman and children,
have fallen victims to oppression. Thirty
five were wounded. many fatally.
The receipt of the above awakens general
sympathy in this city.
