GLADSTONE ON HEBREW PERSECUTION.

he ADVOCATES COMPLETE STATEMENT OF
RUSsIA'S ANTT-JEwIsH LEGIsLATIoN.
London, May 29.-In response to letter from Mr..
Montagu VI. p, asking him to join In claiming for
Russian Jews the nights accOrded TO Manometan sub
jects OF the Gar, Mr.. Gladstone writes
ait would be easy 10 launch dcnunciaiOry letter
that would act like drain and produce momentary
warmth But such utterances, not founded on care
full inquiry and real knowledge. may do harm by
strengthening the ultra party to whom and not TO the
Gar, these strange revolving proceedings arc due At
one time had influence with the Russian Government,
but when Premier in 1885 had ample proof that my
influence was gone. Now my personal action would
have no weight. The pressure Of opinion of the
civilized world based upon ascertained facts is the
best mode of proceeding. A widely effective organiza-
ton of the Jews ought to enable the preparation of
complete statement showing the exceptional laws
bearing upon the Jews in Russia and the total absence
Of reason for such laws; also adequate report on
the recent prosecutions Such statement, seriously
executed would bring powerful artillery TO play upon
the citadel and wrong state or empire. The great
est nation on ts earth would have the smallest title
10 complain Of such mode of Interference, offering
The inculpated Government the fullest means of de-
fence
In concluding, Mr.. Gladstone expresses the hope
that the Sultan Of Turkey will support the scheme for
the settlement Of the Jews In Palestine.

affect the Board Of Walking Delegates of New-York
none of them could explain. The thirtysix dealers
who closed their yards in Brooklyn say they will act
In concert with the Lumber Trade Association here
after in all its fights with labor unions. Although it
Is not acknowledged openly by the members of the
Lumber Trade Association yet having gone so far and
having repudiated all efforts of the Board OF
Walking Delegates, a number OF influential dealers
are of the oplnon that the only thing to do Is to fight
ii out with the Lumber Handlers Union until that
union is entirely broken up. Then there Will be no
question as to how many hours their men must work
or how much they must be paid.
The following dispatch was received by the sssocla-
ton from Bangor yesterday: We mail following to you
to-day: We tho undersigned, applaud course pursued

SEIZED BY THE FRENCH.
HIGH.HANDED PROCEEDINGS IN THE BAY
OF ST. GEORGE.
THE FRENCH ADMIRAL ASSUMES TERRITORIAL
POSSESSION OF NEWFOUNDLAND WATERS
AND SAYS HE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE
AMERICAN RIGHTS UNDER

AMERICAN RIGHTS UNDER
THE TREATY OF 1918.
rpr CABLE TO THE TRIBUSE.T
ST. Johns, Newfoundland, May 2s.-Ihe french
have seized ST. Georges Bay, repeating their out
RACES of last year and adding another and greater
one by assuming territorial possession OF the waters
Mr. Bishop. the resident magistrate there, tele-
graphs the Colonial Government here that The
French Admiral has proclaimed his authority In
the BAY. has forbidden the Newfoundland fisher
men 10 do any fishing whatever has put out patrol
launches whose crews have taken up the local
fsbermens nets, senes and traps and have put
them all ashore. Mr.. Bishop further reports chat
the French commander has driven off the colonial
fishermen who were batting several American
schooners, disregardlng the protests of the Amer
lean captains who insisted on their rights under
the Treaty Of 1918.
The Admiral replied blunty that he
did not recognize the Anglo-American treaty,
that the contents of the waters OF Bay
St. George belonged solely to France, and he was
there to enforce French rights He would allow
no traffic between the Americans and the New
fonndland fishermen in bait drawn from the
waters of Bay ST. George The American schooners
left without bait causing heavy loss to their own
ers. The magistrate announces that he is poweress
to protect the people against the French warship
and asks instructions. The Government mere
however. is equally powerless. The people OF st
George are in despair. If they cannot supply nalt
to the Americans they must starve They are en-
cited intensely, and reprlsals OF some Nnd are
feared. The right of the American fishermen 10
take bait there, either by catching it themselves
or by purchasing it from the coonists, Is unques-
tionable. They have done both for half century
The full extent of the French Admirals offence Is
shown by the fact that there were no French fish
ermen at all in St Georges, so that he could
not pretend as he did last summer, that his reason
for refusing to allow the British fishermen 10 sup
DIV the Americans was because the French had
urinary rights and needed all the bait themselves
He now stands on the naked proposition that every
thing in the sea is French property that the Amer
lean treaty is void, and that he has authority TO
enforce French rights, as construed by France
against both the Newfoundlanders and the Amer
leans. The American Consul, Mr.. Molloy, has not
vet received any reply from his telegram TO MI
Blaine announcing these facts.
