THE WAR ON THE JEWS.
The Loss it has Caused to Russia.

LONDON, May 1s.-The correspondent of
the Times at st. Petersburg says: "Rumor
continues to circulate that General Ignatieff
will soon resign the Ministry of the Interior
His defeat on the Committee of Ministers
on the Jewish question has produced dead
lock. The Minister of Finance, who sees
clearly the great loss which the exchequer
must suffer from the exodus of the Jews,
threatens to resign If the measures of Gen
eral Iguatieff to accelerate the emigration
of Jews are adopted. The majority Of the
Ministers support the Minister of
Finance According to trustworthy
data material damage was done by
the sntiJewish movement. Including
houses, bresdstutfs and other property
destroyed and the money taken away by the
emigration of Jews, the loss amounts to
e22, ,000, 900, all lost to Russia. To this must
be added losses resulting from the preven-
tion of labor and the profit not only of Jews
but of others during the riots and from the
stagnation of trade generally, which would
increase the total by many more millions" !"

cese.
