Aepeeiiles and Intervention.
W,muorox, April 27.-Juace Bel
s,rd. Representative in Congress from
Colorado, had an interview today with
- President regarding the persecution
q the Jews in Russia. The Judge
ehoved that the atrocities pracsised on
~ Jews in Russia have taken the form
of destruction of property for plunder,
fos injury to person, murdsrous assaults,
outrsgss on mothers, wives and daugh-
nm, and deliberate murder. As nearly
= fhe results Of these atrocities can be
eswtained and stated in figures, it ap
pesss that over 300 women have been
yio,sssd, 60 men killed, 20 wounded,
AOO0 persons rendered homeless, and
sbout 75.C1o,e3o roubles of property
solen and wrecked. Belford reminded
~ President that Intervention in such
saaes had becn practised by civilized
nstions for tho past two centuries. He
eitsd . number Of cases whore inter
ysution had occurred; among them that
81 Russia on behalf Of tho Christians in
Turkey, and Intervention in Russia on
behalf Of the Greek Christians in the
Turkish dominions, and argued a justifi-
cation for Undertaking the Crimean
vs1. In 1877 the intervention of Rus
ia in behalf of Christian subjects of
The Sultan was the single pretext for the
Ruso-Turkish war. The President said
h felt deeply interested in the race
prosecuted. He was determined to do
everything proper to induce Russia to
sStsnd the fullest protection to this
elaM. He said he had addressed n
communication 70 our representative at
s.. Petersburg, directing him to invite
NJ attention Of the Gar TO thess re-
ported atrocities, and to express tho abb
horrencs in this country to their perpe-
tration, and entrsating the exercise Of
hk authority to prevent their recur-
rsnce. President Arthur said that while
= was delicate matter for this Govern
mont to interfere with matters between
The Government of Russia and it's sub
jsots, yet he was determined to do all
that was possible. In any event he was
determined that the American Hebrew
temporsrily residing in Russia should
fassivs tho care and protection Of this
Government.
