1,103 have been reported by the commit
tee. Or these five were general bills,
three of which became laws. Although
this statement shows action In only
l, lob cases, it is not an index of the
amount of work performed, as large

evidence to fulfill the requirements of
established precedent of the committee.

reported by the committee, the appro-
priations carried aggregatIng S23, 900. 600.

ing. By its terms the famous Gin
cinnati Red Stocking club will be
transferred from the National league to

generally regarded as holding the
key to the settlement of the ex-
listing base ball conflict, and the
purchase OF that club by a syndi-
cate for the Players league will be
one of q series of moves which has for
its purpose the ending of the war.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. 1.-The
president to-day transmitted to the
honse, iii answer TO resolution con-
corning the enforcement of proscrip-
tive edicts against the Jews in Russia.
report from the secretary of state upon
the subject. In his letter Secretary
Blaine refers to the correspondence on
the same subject sent to the house in
1882, and says that since that date cor
reSpondence has been had with the gov
eminent of Russia in several cases of
alleged interference by the Russian
authorities with the rights OF citizens of
the United States protesting, or be-
ing supposed to profess, the Jewish
faith. He says that the CORE
spoDdence shows that the United States
government has had no proper occasion
of remonstrance against the applica-
s ton of a religious test to our citizens In
Russia, or having interests i'll Russia,
and against the enforcement of a dis
qualification founded on such test.
which proceeding is without warrant of
recognition in the treaty stipulatiens
between the United States and Russia,
and moreover is repugnant to the fun
damental doctrine or freedom. of con-
science and equality of religious belief
on which organized society almost uni
versally rests. The secretary further
says that when it was first reported that
powerful government was about to
take measures resulting in the expul
sion of vast numbers of its subjects
because of their religion, the depart
ment of state Immediately tele-
graphed an inquiry, and George w.
Wurts, OUT charge d. affaires ad interim,
replied that the rumor was without
foundation. As the reports continued
to reach this country, however, Mr..
sWurts was directed to make a full re-
port. Aug. he replied that he had the
highest authority for maintaining that
the Russian government does not con-
template any change from the present
lenient enforcement of the Jewish edicts

thus allowing an unusually large num-
Der of bills to be placed on the calendar.
Of the principal committees of the sem
ate, the committee on pensions has had
referred to it about 1900 bills and reSO-
buttons, 1000 of which originated in the

number they reported seventy-two, of
which thirty-eight passed. The appro-
; priatiOns authorized by the committee
