THE JEWS IN RUSSIA
A Letter by Secretary Blaine
on the Subject
IS TRANSMITTED TO CONGRESS-
The United States Protests Against
the Abuse of Her Citizens
in Russia.

WAsHINGToN, Oct. 1.-The president
to-day transmitted TO the house, In an
swer to the resolution concerning the en-
forcement of the proscriptive edicts
against the Jews in Russia, a report
from the secretary of state upon the sub
ject In his letter Secretary Blaine re-
iers to the correspondence on this same
subject sent to the house IN 1882, and
says: "Since that date correspondence
has been had with the government OF
Russia in several cases of alleged inter
ference by the Russian authorities with
the rights of citizens of the United States
protesting, or being supposed to profess,
the jewish faith.p 10 rue f....'
He says that this correspondence
shows that the United states govern
ment has omitted no proper occasion of
remonstrance against the application of
a religious test 10 our citizens in Russia,
or having interests in Russia.
and against the enforcement of
disqualification founded on such test,
which proceeding is without warrant of
recognition in the treaty stipulations
between the United States and Russia,
ana moreover is repugnant to the funda-
mental doctrine OF freedom OF con science
and equality of religious belief, on which
organized society almost universally
rests.
The secretary further says: "When it
was first reported that the Russian gov
ernment was about to take measures
resulting in the expusionof vast num-
bers of its subjects because OF their re-
ligion, our charge d'uifaires at st.
Petersburg: advised the department that
he had the highest authority for main
tanning that the Russian government
does not contemplate any change from
it's present lenient enforcement of the
Jewish edicts OF lSSS."
