ilnn has come to the conclusion :
send noarly all the Jewish exiles {
the United States, and TO secur
their landing by lawful means. Th
Jews win be settled rs FAR as posi-
bic 10 agricultural colonies, but
is not exepected that they will con
fine themselves to lhecountry. Tn
right to 20 into any lawful business
will be vindicated. II necessary
through legal proceedings. 1t j
claimed that the States has room
enough for all the Jews that vii
emigrate from Russis, and the oppor
tunities for profitable business ar
not equaled in any country. Th'
association will therefore for Tbs
present. confine itself wholly t.
sending Russian Jews to Americs
and supporting them there.

SHORT OF MONEY.
WASHINGTON, Sept. LESS than
$1,0OO,OOO in currency, available for
business in the vaults Of the treas
ury at Washington, was the condi-
tion that confronted the treasury
officials yesterday. 1t is stated on
good authority that during the
present week the treasury officials
have had to "hustle" to get together
sufficient currency tomeet demands
The "cramp" for currency was
brought about by the redemption OF
the ~ per cent. bonds (more than
$40, 200, 900 of which have been re-
deemed during the present month";
and also to falling off of custom
receipts, which show a decrease OF
80 per cent. during the present
month over the same month last
yesr. Pension payments have also
figured in reducing the available
currency, $7,5O0,O00 having beeB
paid out on this account. There
now remains but $1,000, 600 of Al per
cent. bonds to be either redeemed
or continued, and when these aIe
disposed of 1t is the thought the
available currency i'm the treasury
win rapidly increase. OF the AZ
per cent. bonds, it is believed that
about 1000, 600 will be presented for
redemption. While the treasury de-
partment is, therefore, at this time
having a tight time to find currency
70 transact business, the pressure
viii soon be removed and matters
move along as smoothly as they
have done for some time past.

yelop the skirmish drill to its high
est point.
