Why the Jews Leave Ru..la.

An attache Of the Russian legation
In London in an interview said: "The
action of Russia In regard to the Jews has
been misinterpreted. No new law what
ever has been passed affecting that race,
and OF course no new law is being enforced.
Jewish artisans and others belonging to
the classes not specially exempted by tho
law knew they were violating 1t when
they took up their residence outside the
Jewish Pale. They were warned months
ago that they mustgo back to the Pale.
What 10 the Palef In extent 1t is larger
than any European country except Russia,
There Ia ample room there for all the
Jews. The car has not banished single
Jew. Those who choose to leave Russia
instead OF going TO the Pale have been
permitted TO do SO on certain conditions,
one of which is the payment of their
dsbts, or ut least tho satisfaction Of their
creditors. The Russian government has
also exempted all such from tho emigration
tax OF 100 roubles, favor not extended to
Russians in general Therefore, the
statement that the ear is banishinp the
jews is false. They are simply being
required to comply with the law US TO
residence, with which they have been well
acquainted and which they violated"
Meantime exiles from Russia continue
to pour into Germany and many Of them
are stranded in the cities, where they
eagerly take any work that is offered. Tho
committee in Germany has already found
Its resources more than strained by tho
demands upon it, and additional appeals
have been made to rich Jews and others
In Vienna, London and Paris. There is n
proposition In Germany to settle large
colonies of Jews on the downs Of East
Prussia, which the government is engaged
In reclaiming. 1t is found difficult TO
obtain German colonists for that bleak
region, and II the Prussian authorities
consent thousands Of Jews might get u
start in life there

TRAIN ROBBERY IN TURKEY.
Bandits Capture Train and Rob tho
Passengers.

A party Of brigands near the CherI
eskei, Turkey, placed distractions across
the railroad track and succeeded In de-
railing the eastern express on the 3lst.
When the brigands had thus brought the
train to q standstill they found that there
were several German and English tourist"
among the passengers. One Of them was
Berlin banker.
The band which made the attack on the
train numbered thirty men, led by the
noted robber Anastasius. The brigands
seized the Waterman on duty at the rail-,
way station and when they had prevented
him from giving any alarm, they set 10
work and tore up the track for . short
distance.
They sot no warning signal for the en-
gineer Of tho train, but allowed tho cars
to dash on to their destruction. When
tho eastern express reached the spot, the
engine tumbled over on Its side, dragging
over with it tho tender, baggage car,
and oil the third class passenger coaches.
The hrst-class passenger cars, luckily,
did not follow the other part Of the train,
but remained safely on tho road.
When the train was thus disabled the
brlgands rushed forward uttering loud
yells and brandishing their guns In most
threatening manner and boarded the cars.
Several Of the passengers resisted the
attack made on them by the brigands, who
replied with volley from their guns and
dangerously wounded ono Of the mon who
sought to repufSs thom.
pants Of the cars aud proceeded TO plumber
thcm, stripping the travellers Of all their
valuables aud looting their baggage.
Whom the brigands ended their work of
robbery they seized four of the passen-
gers in the hrst.class cara and also the
engineer of the train and then started
with their captives for their rendezvous
in the mountains.
The men carried away by the outlaws
were Oscar Gregor, Herr Israel, banker
Of Berlin; Herr Maquel, q land owner Of
Siegelbar, Bavaria; Herr Oscar Kolysch
of Sorbigm, Prussian Saxony, and
Freundiger, the engineer of the eastern
express. Upon reaching their retreat the
brigunds sent Herr Israel to get the ram
som Of 10000, which they demanded for
the release Of the prisoners.
Chancellor Won Caprivi, on being CONT
municated with. authorized the German
ambassador at Constantinople TO advance
the amount and the prisoners were
released.
