Persecution Of Hebrews i'm Russia
THE CORRESPONDENCE SENT TO THE HOUSE YEsTER-
In response to a resolution. the President sent to
the House yesterday the correspondence of the
State department respecting the condition OF the
IsraeliteS in Russia The correspondence covers
period or ten years. From the letter OF Minister
Foster 1t appears that the Russians consider that
the treaty between this country and Russia gives
TO our citizens in Russian Jurisdiction no other
rights or privileges than those accorded to native
RUSSIANS. They are, therefore, included in the
prohibition against native Jews OF residence In
St Petersburg and other cities OF the Empire. In
October, 1881, MIR. Hoffman wrote to the DEPART
ment that the Russian minister OF foreign affairs
held this view, butSaid that he would be glad to see
notifications made In the laws relative to the
Jews, but that IN his opinion much Of the harsh
ness OF these laws had been brought on by them
selves A convention had, however, been an
pointed to report upon the whole Jewish question.
The last letter written BY the Secretary Of State
dated April 18th. 1884, and expresses the regret OF
the people OF the United States at the stories OF
the sunerings OF the Jews in Rus,. Minister
Holman Is then instructed, in the event that he
considers that the efforts OF the Russian govern
ment to restrain these great wrongs might be
more vigorous. to convey to that government that
the feeling OF friendship OF tine United States
prompts the expression OF the hope that the fmpe-
rial government will find means. to cause the per-
secutton OF these unfortunate fellow-beings to
much this republic may disapprOve OF affairs in
other natOnaises 1t does notaegard It as its pro-
vince to of1ciouSly intermeddia II any citizens OF
the United States are made the victims OF this
persecution the minister Is instructed to protect
them and report such cases to the department.

FURTHER EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT.

FUhTdkh EAThACIS FhOA The kkfURTA
The report OF the Senate military committee on
the investigation OF the Soldiers Home was briefly
mentioned in the FIRST edition OF The STAR.
The report states that they found the institution
In good order, but that, owing to the lack OF any
military organization, there Is very little employ
ment for the inmates and less to amuSe them
Some simple military organization is, therefore,
recommended, and also the employment OF such
inmates as could be detailed for work on the
grounds at suitable compensation. The commit
tee cr1ttcise the employment OF q large force OF
civilians for farming purposes, In connection with
the house, as unwiSe. They say the amount OF
products thus raised could be purchased for less
money.
The committee say the continuous and regular
furnishing OF vegetables and fruit from the insti-
tuition to two OF the three members OF the board
OF commissioners (the surgeon general and the
c0mMfssary generaD, "gave rise to considerable
scandal, which should have been avoided; and the
furnishing OF flowers from the Home to these OIL
GERS at regular and stated periods when there was
an entire absence OF the Same at the hospital was,
In the opinion Of the committee, an abuse in the
management which should net have occurred"
Tho committee also report that they found q
want OF harmony between the board OF commits
si0nerS and the governor OF the Homo General
Sturgis) and say this 'iS TO be deprecated, as 1t
has given rise to reports from outside sources not
creditable to the management OF the Institution"
They submit the testimony taken. together with a
bill which provides for various changes 1r the
method OF governing the Home, and, among other
things, for adding tho QuarterlnaSter General and
the Inspector General OF the army to the board OF
commission era
