THE PAN-JUDAIC CONFERENCE.
What Is Likely To BE Done Mt the Meet.
Ing in Paris Next Month.
IN. Y. World

An international Jewish conference will be
held next month in Paris for the purpose Of
discussing measures to improve the political
and social condition of the Jews in various
parts of the world. Delegates will be sent
from Jewish congregations from every quarter
OF the globe The veteran AdOlphe Crenneix
is expected to preside, and among the dele
gates will probably be Chief Ra b Astruc and
NJ. Oppenheim, from Belgium; Senator Artom,
from Italy; Chief Rabbi Calm and Baron de
ROthschild, from France; Sir Julian Goldsmid
and Baron de Worms, from England; Baron
de Rothschild and DR.. JeIIinck from Austria
Mr. William Seligman, from the United States,
and number Of the Jewish clergy Among
the matters which will occupy the attention
OF the conference are: The condition of the
Jewish residents of the DanubiaD principali-
ties and of Russia, Morocco and Persia; the
best means for securing industrial and eduCa-
tional advantages for the Jews of Jerusalem
the adoption OF measures for the protection of
Hebrew education and for the advancement
of Hebrew literature. The most important
subject to be considered is a proposition to
convene a synod for the purpose of inquiry
into the condition Of modern Judaism and the
authoritative exposition of the Jewish ecclesi-
astical law. Within the past few years two
synods have been held, av0wedly for this pur-
pose, one at Leipsig, attended chiefly by Eu-
ropean Jews, and the other at Philadelphia,
attended exclusively by American Jews. The
proposition to be considered at the coming
conference is to call synod which shall rep
resent the Jews all over the world.
Since the destruction Of the Temple and the
dispersion Of the Jews there has been no reg
ular priesthood nor any recognized ecclesias-
tical authority except such as was assumed
by the chief rabbis Of the various commune
ties, who frequently differ among themselves
Such changes and notifications as have been
made in the Jewish ritual or the Jewish law
have been introduced by the various com
munties on their own responsibility and are
not recognized by the Jews generally. There
fore, ii such a synod as it is proposed to call
could by convened, it would have powerful
effect upon the condition of the Jews every
where, and it might result in the establish
ment of some central recognized ecclesiastical
authority which would restore to the syna-
gogue the discipline that it now lacks. Even
the most orthodox Jews would pay respect
full attention to the opinions of such body,
and indeed they are in favor of calling the
synod.

A RAILROAD WAR

days. Tickets to Indianapolis were sold at
the railroad office for thirty-five cents, the
regular price being So. The fare to New York
was reduced to $12, and the fare to Cincinnati
to 50, the regular rates being $40 to New York
and $12 to Cincinnati. These reductions grew
out Of the action of the Wabash road in issu-
ing tickets to public school teachers to New
York and return for $27.
The rival roads to Texas are also having a
little war of their own One road has been

MADISON, Wis, May 24th.-Last
night the heavy rain storm was
accompanied by the remarkable
phenomenon of rain of sticks,
stones, boards and twigs of various
sizes and large hail. The cy-
clone came from the southwest,
probably from Mineral Point. Fiji
teen to twenty barns are reported
destroyed. Near Mount Vernon
three persons were killed Instantly.
Several prairie fires started during
the evening. At Oregon, Wis,
many houses were torn down. Near
Paoli three or four persons were
killed. Great destruction of prop
erty and loss of life undoubtedly
resulted from the storm.

ELLSWORTH, Me-, May 24th.-
Small parties of Russian officers
are leaving the Cimbria to-day
with all their baggage, which they
pass formally through the Custom
House. A few leave by every boat
going West. One of the Russians,
in conversation, confirms the report
that the Russian force is composed
of three ships crews fully differed.
He says there is no harm in now
saying that they have come to
America to man three fast vessels
to be purchased and converted into
Russian cruisers. He thinks two
have already been purchased and
are now in Philadelphia. Such Of
ficers as have left the Cimbria
have gone to these vessels. When
asked if any sailors had been sent
on he answered that the sailors
would be taken directly in the
Cimbria to the port of transfer.
The officer conversed with is of the
rank of Lieutenant, highly edu-
Gated and apparently caudid in his
statements.

thereby be enabled to get up

In the past two years, is really

levers in our future deserve recog-
milton for their pluck and liberal
ity. When the writer first saw Los

with a future. 1t is true that the
Pico House was then erected, but
almost any town is ambitious of a
fine hotel. Since that first visit,
Los Angeles, in her business quar-
ters, at least, has been absolutely
transformed. The Downey Block
and what was once known as the
Backman House, now q portion of
the st. Charles Hotel, were put up
either in the flush times of Los
Angeles or just before, and in an
ticlpation of, the Flush times"
