LONDON, Aug. l0.-The leading
members Of the Jewish community
in this city aud Berlin differ as to
the line Of action which il is advis-
able 70 adopt 10 mitigate the suffer
ings Of Jews in Russia, and unless
some harmonious policy be agreed
upon II Is not likely that much good
will result from their philanthropy.
Letters have been received by them
from Russia warning them against
English and German interference.
IL such Interference is seriously at
tempted Ii will wreak itself upon
thousands of miserable beings whose
cries cannot be heard beyond the
ears Of their Oppressors. France,
too, Is aroused by the hardships OF
the Jews in Russia, aud the Hebrew
finSnciers Of this country have been
made the recipients Of an appeal,
asking them 10 use their influence
with the French government TO make
quiet representations TO the govern

the Jews. The JeJrish World, CON-
menting on the PROPOSAL which has
been made, that the Jews ought to
use the general business solidarity
OF their race to boycott Russia aud
thereby force the statesmen of that
country to revise the Jewish laws
and act humanely, says that moth

supposed ability OF the Jews 10 conf

EPIDEMIC OF POISONING.

India.

CALCUTTA, Aug. lO.-The epid-
enic OF yIis0uing which broke out
rarly 10 the year, has now extended
over a rye proportion Of Indis,
and through many districts virtual
reign Of terror exists. AT more
than half Of the districts huge

As in America, "Bewafe II pick

ers.v A detailed warning Il also
given TO travellers against accepting
the hospitality Of natives or pur-
chasing drinks or eatables Of any
kind.
These precautions are rendered
necessary by the fact that organized
gangs Of PRISONERS have infested the

drinks, etc, 10 passengers, chiefly
at the stations. Their wares are
poisoned anu SCORES Of persons have
met death at their hands. More
over the Inhabitants Of the villages
themselves have taken up the trade
and poison those whom they receive
As guests. In these latter cases the
object appears to be plumber, but in
the former it can only 6e simply q
desire TO murder, since the poisoners
have no opportunity to rob the
bodies Of their victims
a perfect mania for such crimes
has for some time prevailed on
nearly all the routes Of travel
throughout India, and In spite Of
the police, the horrible trade is
still pursued. There is also a mania
for poisoning for ell sorts Of pur-
poses, for Vengeance, Cor pl.pder,
for torture, for the fulfilment u r.
ligiOus VOWS. In many cases the
food exposed for sale in the markets
has been poisoned wholesale The
reports Of the government chemist
who analysed all the articles seized
under suspicion Of poison are most
startling ia character and give such
a picture Of human depravity as can
scarcely lie found elsewhere.

It VIII hs observed tina. the

that State will retain its two repre-

There isa disappointment in store
for Montana. Ia the report upon

latiOn was estimated at l75, 900 in

Ii i said at the ceustts Office that
the States OF Minnesota and Ne

in population. The postal card re-

each State will approximate COZ, 900.

Washington will probably show a
population OF $50, OO0. In 1850 the
Territory had T5,ll6 inhabitants. so
that the population has more than

year.

that Illinois will take OhiO's place

ChicagO-nearly 10000 in ten

A Story In which There l. No
Foundation In Pact

wAsHiHeToS, Aug. lO.-The alb
surl story that thu President pur-
poses sending a special message 20
Congress embOdying his views on
the reciprocity question L stu
floating about in political circles.
The story never had the slightest
foundation in fact, but the suggestion
was n taking one and has found
many believers. An evening paper
makes the announcement that the
unusual length Of the Cabinet meet
ing Friday was caused by "a dis
cassion Of the proprieiy Of sending a
special message TO Congress in re-
gard to reciprocity. No such ques-
ton was considered, nor was IL even
incidentally referred 10. il is
learned that Stephen B. Elkius, Mr..
Blaine's political altar ego, differs
very widely from the Secretary OF
state regarding the adoption Of the
reciprocal relations with our South
ern neighiCrs. He regards the
proposition as ineIpedient and I'M
practicable, and thinks the United
States VIII commit a grave error in
lending itself to such scheme.

CENSUS FIGURES.

The Dakotas have undergone a
shrinkage process since they Were
admitted. In the report 10
the House in March, lSSs, upon
the admission Of the States,
the population Of Dakota was put at
go, 900, and this was regarded as
rather within the mark than beyond
it. The figures Of the inter-decenni-
al census Of the Dakotas taken in
June, 1855, were nearer the truth,
and have not greatly improved.
While a great many persons have
been going 20 the Dakotas, a great
many, discouraged by n succession
Of adverse seasons, have gone away
to Washington and Oregon. a
comparison Of the population Of the
two States, accounting TO the inter
decennial census Of 1855, and the
rough count Of the census Of 1890,

Alabama, and Wheeler, of Michigan; Will

Wilson, of Washington, and Wilson, OF
West Virginia La addition to these dupH-
cate names there is still another class
members of the same name from the same
state Thus there are besides Mr.. Browne,
of Virginia, T. NJ Browne and j. B. Brown,
both of Indiana, and distinguished on the
roll by their initials, and besides Taylor,
of Illinois, and Taylor, of Tennessee, there
are Ezra B. Taylor and Joseph d. Taylor,
both from Ohio. 1t is noteworthy coin
cidence that in nearly every case of two
men of the same name one is Republican
and the other Democrat.
All these Implications of names add to
the difficulty of taking vote by yeas and
nays. In addition to calling the roll once,
from Abbott to Yoder, it must be in part
called the second time, as the names of
those who do not vote Oh the first call are
again gone over by the loud voiced reading
clerk After all this has been done there
are the pairs to read, and finally the vote
must be recapitulated At aspeed of forty
miles an hour the clerk rattles off the
names of those voting in the affirmative,
and then of those in the negative. When
the result of the vote is at last announced
it is found that from forty to fifty minutes
of time have been consumed.
But the clumsy and stupid roll call has
its uses. Party leaders are 10th to part
with it because of the opportunity it gives
them to rally their forces, TO maneuver.
If the yeas and nays were TO be taken in
simultaneously there would be no time for
sending out whips" to bring in absent
members, no time to prepare for the next
parliamentary movement. Old members OF
congress say instantaneous voting would
completely revolutionize our legislative
methods Il would save great deal OF val
liable time, but it is doubtful if it would
improve the quality of legislation. Prob
ably one-fourth of the time Of the house
is spent in calling the roll. Some days
roll call succeeds roll call in quick success
sion, so that The Record next morning is
almost entirely composed of long lists Of
names.
Over in the senate the taking Of the
yeas and nays is not so tedious. The list
of eighty odd senators is quickly run
through. As a rule about one-haf the
senators vote on the roll call, and then a
dozen or a score who have not responded
stand in their places while the following
takes place:
The Presiding Officer-The senator from
New Hampshire.
The Clerk-Nr. Blair.
Mr.. Blair-Aye.
The Presiding Oficer-The senator from
New York
The Clerk-Mr. Sawyer.
