RUSSIA AND TIE JEWS.
A Resolution fro m the Committee on
Foreign Affairs.

pOr612u Audlr6.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The House com.
mittee on foreign affairs to-day directed
Chairman Hit to report to the House a
substitute resolution for that offered by Mr..
Cummings of New York, expressing SYM
pathy with the Jews in Russia. The text
is as follows:
Resolved, That the members of the House of
Representatives of the United States have heard
with profound sorrow the reports of the suffer
ings of the Jews in Russia. and this sorrow is
intensified by the fact that such occurrences
should happen in country which has so long
been a friend of the United States, and which
emancipated millions of its people
from serfdom, and which defended
helpless Christians in the east from
persecution for their religion. And We earn
estly hope that the humane and enlightened
spirit that then was so strikingly shown by his
imperial majesty will now be manifested in
checking and mitigating the severe measures
directed against the men of the Jewish re-
hgion.
Chairman Hit subsequently reported the
resolution to the House. The committee
recommends its adoption.

oENDARMEs FIRE ON A CROWD.
The Officer in Charge Lost His Head
and Feared Revolution.


and Feared q Revolution.
BARoELoNA. Feb. 5.-Ths revolutionary
spirit smoldering throughout Spain
nearly burst into flame in this city to-day.
There was a peaceful demonstration, in
which parade and speech-making wers the
main features. going on in favor of the re-
publican leader, Don Nicolas Sal
merony, and Alfonzo Herillas, oo-
workers In the propagation of
republican ideas, aud naturally
procession became somewhat excited. This
attitude OF the populace seems to have
alarmed the officer In charge OF q troop Of
mounted gendarmes, who had been detailed
to maintain order, and, in case Of such an
emergency arising, to suppress any revolu-
tionary proceeding.
AN ATTACK ON THE CROWD.
In any case the officer seems to have lost
his head and to have ordered the gendarmes
to charge the crowd. They did so, and fired
with pistols and carbines right and left The
result was that several persons were
wounded. A number of bullets from the
weapons OF the gendarmes fiattened around
the balcony and windows OF the hotel from
which Senior Salmerony was speaking. The
action OF the gsndarmes deeply enreged the
people, but ths crowd seems to
have dispersed without any. open
act of retaliation. It is understood
that the government will be asked
to order an inquiry into the conduct of the
officer in charge OF the gendarmes. Senior
Salmerony's friends claim that the bullet
marks around the window from which he
was speaking show that the gendarmes
tried to shoot him.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.--The agent of the
Associated Press called upon the British
minister. Sir Julian Pauncefote, this morn
ing and drew his attention to the statement
issued by Dalzell's News Agency asserting
the authenticity of an alleged interview
with the minister on the supreme court de-
cision on the Sayward case, which was
cabled to the London Times, and to the text
of the alleged interview Itself as reproduced
to-day in New York. Sir Julian read all
carefully, and after some conversation he,
at the request of the agent, reduced to writ
ing what he had said, as follows:
BRITISH LEGATION,
WASHINGTON. Feb J. 1891. {
DEAR Mr., McKEE-I absolutely deny having
used any of the language attributed to me in
the alleged interview published in the London
Times and republished in the World of to-day.
A man acc osted me in public car and asked
me whether had heard of the decision of the
supreme court given that day in the Sayward
case. On my replying in the negative,
he informed me that leave had
just been given TO file the
petition. We exchanged few common place
remarks about the agitation which the case bad
excited, and which | said was gla to think
had subsided the conversation had not lasted
more than two minutes when / alighted from
the car. l had not the least idea that l was
being interviewed. The above, however, is all
that passed, an. dear Mr.. Mckee, yours very
truly, JULIAN PAUECEFoTE.
To DuUid r. Mckee, Washington Agent Asso-
cidted Press.
After writing this letter the minister
summoned his secretary, had copy of the
letter made and directed that it be addressed
to Lord Salisbury and cabled at once in
cipher to him.

ADDING BONES.
Doctors Quarrel About the Reconstruction of
n Prehistoric Beast

Doctors Quarrel About the Reconstruction Of
aPrehistoric Beast
From the New Orleans Picayuns.
few weeks ago some workmen unearthed
the remains Of Il prehistoric animal probably a
brontotherium, in the banks of the Ohio river
These remains were securedby the Catlett Acad-
envy OF Catlettsburg, ky., and turned over to
Professor Jonkins, who holds the chair of geol-
ogy. and he set himself to the task Of recon-
structing the deceased giant
After the job was done he found that he yet
had some 200 pounds Of bones undisposed of,
and, after surveying his work, he concluded
that the tail would bear additions better than
to add some twelve feet Of caudai appendage,
curving it over the animals back like the tail
of good-natured dog. When Prof Gould of
the same institution saw the novel animal he
laughed. He said that Prof. Jonkins had made
a ridiculous mistake, and instead Of an abnor-
maily long tail the creature evidently had pre-
ternaturally long hind legs. SO that the animal,
when alive, could go bounding like a kangaroo,
fifty yards at a jump. He then proceeded to
reconstruct the skeleton, putting the super
huous bones into Its legs.
When Prof Jonkins heard Of this liberty
that Prof Gould had taken with his specimen
he was very much enraged and proceeded at
once To restore the tail. The next morning
when Prof Gould came to the room and saw
the extravagant tail he at once pulled it to
pieces and turned it into legs. Aad this alter
nate metamorphosis has taken place daily in the
skeleton for two weeks past.
Another amateur scientist who saw the thing
suggested that perhaps the beast had wings,
but this suggestion Was scornfully rejected by
both scientists, and they still insist on recon-
structing the skeleton, and will do 30 until
some bad student steals the extra bones.

Mrs. P.rtinrton,s Half sister.

From the Lewiston Journal.
A certain Maine woman who has plenty Of
dollars, but very hazy idea of English orthog-
raphy, returned from a visit to New York last
week. She said to friend:
"Oh, / had such perfectly lovely time,
everything was so convened, you know. We
stopped in q house where We rode up to our
room in refrigerator, and I always had my
washing done at the foundry right there in the
house. 1t was awful nice. Then there warn't
no stove and no clutter in the rooms There
was one of these Legislators right in the floor
and the heat poured right up through"
How did 1t happen that you came back 90
quickly?"
'..Oh, well, you see, Sairy didn't have no ap-
pertite. had the hardest work to get her
anything that she could realize. Honestly,
when / got her home she was almost an indi-
yidual."
Perhaps IL was this woman's husband who
said that ''Hen Peters got killed this morning,
and ther corner has jest gone out to hole an in
sect on him."
