A DEFENSE OF RUSSIA.
An Enemy to the Prosecuted Jey
Writes Against Them.

An Enemy to the Prosecuted Jews
Writes Against Them.
LONDON Sept. 26.-"In Darkest Russia" points
out that Baron Hirschs scksms, if successful.
can only provide for about 8 per cent of the
Russian Jews.
A letter which appeared in the "Anti -Jac OBJ
ines,' and which was signed "An Israelite
Wanderer," has been published in the newspa-
pers and is attracting considerable attention. II
strongly defends Russia ana declares the laws
relating TO the Jews are by no means so in
iQuitous as imagined. Referring to the dom
icile law this letter says it has never been
altered, but has been operated with so little
rigor that one-third of the Jews reside today in
the governments from which they were ex-
cluded generation ago This, he says. is a sign
gradual improvement which is least to be
expected from a semi-civIlizsd country like
Russia. Continuing, the writer says $1,000
Jews reside in st. Petersburg and similar num-
Der in Moscow.
"Expusions," he adds, care entirely due to
Jewish violations OF the laws Mechanics GER
tiicates have been forged, fraudulent police per-
mits printed and regular trade in them prosecu-
ted for years. The certificates also have teen used
long after the original grantee was dead, and
thousands of Jews, without means OF trade,
have settled in Russia where they had no more
night than pauper emlgrant has to land in New
York. Numbers of mechanics have also for
saken their regular occupation and have taken to
peddllng, thus violating the conditions under
WHICH tDey were aIt""eu W sttt!e. between
l0,Uu0 and 10000 Jews now reside in Russia in
open violation of the law, owing TO fraudulent
permits, or by bribing officials. Being undis-
turued they have become more confident and
invested money in houses, which is against the
law, and then, when orders are received to en-
force the domicile law, the outside world hears
of wholesale expulsions accompanied by brutal
ity, yet every Jew expelled courled h is own fate
They all know what they are doing when they
pass the pale of their domiciles. Poor Jews
suffer most from the rigor OF the law, being as
peddlerS, porters ami such like. at the mercy of
every petty official, by whom they are bounded

With German Warriors

BERLIN, Sept 26.-In an interview Cap.ain
Bingham. the military attache of the American
legation here. who has just returned from the
German military maneuvers, dilated upon the

opportunity TO see everything OF interest
Captain bingham said he was greatly
impressed by the wonderful uniformity of
training shown by the soldiers on parade as
we'll as in the field. The marching power of the
German army, he declared, was almost incredi-
BILE Speaking OF the lighting qualities of the
army, he said the main isctor IL real war is the
marching quality of the men, adding, .When
you can count on having your forces always on
hand at the right moment you can win by force
of numbers" Tne captain spoke in high terms
of praise of Emperor Williams untiring en-
ersies in the saddle.
His majesty took the field at ( o'clock in the
morning aud remained until , o'clock in the aft-
ernoon- Even the empress, who attended the
reviews. remained in the saddle Tor four hours
although the heat and dust were sitting She
smllIugly saluted the troops as they passed fll-
ing the soldiers with the greatest enthusiasm

learned enough OF value and interest to the
American army to compensate him for the fort
nights fatigue and hard riding.
