GREAT LOSS TO RUSSIA FROM THE JEWISH
OPPRESSION.
London, May IS.-The correspondent of
the Times, at ST. Petersburg, says the rumor
continues to circulate that General Ignatieff
will soon resign the ministry of the interior.
His defeat in the committee of ministers on
the Jewish question has produced deadlock.
The minister of finance, who sees clearly the
great loss which the exchequer must suffer
from the exodus Of the Jews, threatens to re-
sign if the measures Of General Ignatief, to
accelerate the emigration of the Jews, are
adopted. A majority of the ministers support
the minister of finance. According to trust
worthy data. material damage has been done
by the anti Jewish movement. Including the
houses, breadstuffs and other property des-
troyed, and money taken away by the emigra-
fion of the Jews, the loss amounts to 22,ooo,
600 pounds, all of which is lost to Russia. To
this must be added losses resulting from the
prevention of labor and profit, not only of the
Jews, but others, during the riots, and from
stagnation of trade generally, which would in
crease the total by many millions.
