London telegram: Letters from Mos
COW and st. Petersburg say that the
laws against the Hebrews are being en-
forced with renewed severity. A large
number OF Jews who lived near the Ger

compelled to move further within tho
Russian territory. tho pretext being
that many Of them are engaged in
smuggling; and Jews residing in the
country have been obliged to leave
their homes and settle in villages.
The peasantry plumber tho Jews at
will, and in one village, near Kertch, a
jew was put under torture to compel
him to surrender his money and other
valuables. The robbers pulled out two
of his toe-nails before he would reveal
the hiding place OF his treasure. No
stops have been taken to punish tho
miscreants guilty of this and other out
RACES, and all appeals to the police are

in love with pretty American girl, at
tempted to shoot her at her house be-
cause she would not marry him, and
then committed suicide. His successor
aud CRAFTS predecessor went mad in n

were drawn to tho orders OF three in

the checks into tho next Office, the door
of which was open, and, according to
Mr.. Parker, while talking with his en-
ployer, removed the names of the payees
from the checks by means OF acids.
Then he wrote "bearer" on two OF
the checks and his own namo on tho
third. Mr.. Stewart sat only few feet
away from him at tho timo, and Graf
kept talking in the most natural man
ner about business affairs. When the
work had been completed Graf went
around to the bank and had tho check
bearing his. own namo certified. The
The other TWO he had cashed. Ho re-
turned to the Office and told Mr.. Stew
