RUSSIA AND THE HEBREWS.
A Report From the State Department
Sent to Congress,

A report from the Secretary Of State was
transmitted to the House yesterday by the
President In answer to resolution concerning
the enforcement Of proscriptive edicts against
the Jews In Russia. Tho Secretary says that
the correspondence Of the State Department
shows that the United States government has
omitted no proper occasion of remonstrance
against tho application OF . religious test to
our citizens in Russia, or having interests in
Russia. Instances OF interference with the
liberty and treaty rights OF our citizens in Rus
STA on the professod ground Of their religion
are infrequent. No instance is recalled Of any
native American Jew not of Russian origin,
and Mr.. George W. Wurts, American charge
daffaires ad interim ut St. Petersburg, re-
ported August 9 that he had the highest au-
thority for maintaining that the Russian gov
eminent does not contemplate any change rom
the present lenient enforcement of the Jewish
edicts of 1882 The substance Of his reports
are that the government does not contemplate
any project of law looking to the general ex-
pulsion of Hebrews. The tendency in certain
high official quarters is now toward less
severe application of existing laws, which has
its source in economic reasons due to the
greatly needed commercial services of the
Jews in various channels Of trade.
In conclusion, the Secretary says, the House
resolution suggests an apprehension that the
enforcement Of general proscriptive measures
against jews in Russia may invade the rights
of United States citizens resorting to Russia
So far as an examination of the edicts in ques-
ton has been possible they appear to regulate
the residence and occupation Of Jews domiciled
in Russia and forming part Of the permanent
population of the empire. It is probable, the
report says, that there are few instances where
a citizen Of the United States will be found to
have so far taken up his abode in Russia by en-
gaging in q regulated trade or calling subject
to the general Jewish edicts as to havo become
domiciied there

in the designs for letter boxes. which the CON-
mission is examining. They have come from
all parts Of the country to present orally the
merits of their devices. The commission Is
giving them a hearing. but this change
in the usual methods il likely
to prolong the sessions. It Is
customary to submit descriptions in writing
The presence Of a large number of the invent

the subject. Since the commission met yester-
day two additional members have been
appointed, namely, Mr.. James Z. Bell OF
