THE HEBREW EXODUS.
Leaving Russia by Thousands-Aided
Friends

The Berlin Jewish Relief Committee
here state that the daily average num-
Der of expelled Russian Jews passing
through CharlOttenburg is 600, most of
whom are going to America. Relatives
are waiting ready to provide for some
of them in Paris, and for a few in
London. The police will not permit
them to enter Berlin, SO they spend one
night at the Charlottenburg station
and then proceed by train EDWARDS
toward their destinations. Herr Isaaks,
the director of the relief committee,
says the committee suffers from no lack
Of funds, money and goods being freely
given, while a number Of eXiles are al
ready supplied with money. The ex-
pusions continue in St. Petersburg,
where groups Of Jews, including we'll
dressed women, are to be seen I'D the
streets, under the escort Of gendarmes,
going to the police stations before they
are started for the frontier.
The Viedomosti, Of Moscow, says that
the Jewish Emigration Society has en-
gagged four Baltic steamers for the ex-
elusive purpose of carrying Jews who
are forced to emigrate. The London
society, it says, is arranging for the emil
grafton of 10000 Jews. chiefly Poles and
Lithuanians. The Niedomosti com
ments with glee upon this as a scheme
that will affect the English labor mar

CHICAGO, H., May 90.-Russell Harri-
son, who is in Chicago, says President
Harrison will not be candidate for re-
election IN 1892, unless the Republican
party demands it. "Should the Repub-

Russell. ''then he will allow his name.

under any other circumstances. He
certainly would not be a candidate if he
consulted only his family personally
He had rather retire to public life, but
as an ardent party man he is willing to

Russell said his father and Mr.. Blaine,

COULDN'T STAND REPROACH.
Why Poor Little English Maid Laid
Down to Die.


Down to Die.
LONDON, May 27.-Further particulars
Of the sad suicide of the 12-year. old
child, Kate Hughes, plainly indicate the
motive for the act and display sensl-
tiveness in the child that is most unus-
ual. Katie, it seems, was an illegitimate
child; her father and mother are both
living, but the last five years she re-
NAMED with a sister of her mother, the
wife of q police constable named Will
Jams. Williams and his wife treated tho
child with the greatest kindness and
consideration.
Katie was admitted to one of the local
schools. BY some means, how has not
yet been discovered, the teacher and
the pupils became acquainted with the
facts concerning Katie's birth. The
teacher became unjustly severe for ev-s
cry ofense she committed, and the
scholars made cruel and unjust remarks
that caused her great unhappiness.
She fina ly became so affected by this
treatment that Officer Williams decided
TO send her to another school, and had
her remain home for q week thinking
it would quiet her mind. Last Friday
afternoon her aunt sent her out in the
fields to pick clover for pet
rabbit. The child left the house
and the next seen of her was by
the engineer of The Hereford and Birm-
ingham Express while approaching the
western railway embank ment two miles
from Worcester. The engineer SAYS as
he was coming along at high rate of
speed he saw child come out Of the
tell grass growing along the road and
climb upon the embankment. she was
entirely naked, and stood for moment
on the track looking at the approaching
train. She then deliberately lay down
with her back to the engine, placed her
neck on the track, and moment later
the entire train had passed over her.
At the coroner's inquest Williams tes-
tilted Katie had no other reason for the
act than the reproaches heaped upon
her in the school.

Sensational Statement Regarding the

ST.. Louis, Mo-, June lit is authori

Lucerne petition to Pope Leo MIL,
asking that institutions be established

in America, was concocted in this city.
Rev. Father Phelan, editor of the
Western Waterman, a leading Cath
Ollie paper of the West, says
that the same kind of effort has been
INDUCED in for ten years past. Ameri-

A Queer Court Scene.

At New York, on the 9th, the jury in
the case of Pasquelona Robertello, the
Italian girl who shot her lover to death
because ne outraged her and then re-
fused to keep his promise Of marriage,
brought in verdict of not guilty.
One OF the most affecting and excit-
ing scenes ever witnessed in a New
York court room occurred on the an
nouncement OF the verdict. When the
clerk asked the usual question of the
foreman he almost shouted, "Not
guilty" and not waiting for poll of
their names the jury shouted III unison,
Not guilty" mot guilty" A singular
and yelled and cheered; nor was there
much effort made to restrain them.

French Duties Advanced.

On the 2Sth the French Chamber of
Deputies continued the debate on the
tariff bill, adopting the following duties
recommended by the committee Nut
ton, 32f; pork, IF; beef, 25f sailed pork,
ham and bacon, 20f maximum, 15f min
imum; sailed beef, 30f maximum, pr
minimum. NJ. Lecour advocated a
duty Of 35f on pork in order that
France might not be poisoned with
American pork. NJ Jourde declared
that the fear of trichinosis was only a
pretext to exclude American meat.
France consumed forty million lzilo-
grammes of American meat annually
without single case of trichinosis ever
having been reported. He begged the
chamber to adhere to the old duty of
81 francs. The House rejected the pro-
posal and passed the committees tariff.

pared from Ignite. rich deposits Of which
have found in Italy The combusti-
bic was invented by Sig. Sapori, of Siena.
Ofthe new fuel, 367 Kilograms were used,
doing the work of 300 Kilograms of coal.
The discovery is expected to prove a
valuable one, as it will do away with
the necessity of the importation of coal.
The new fuel makes light smoke. In
