FOR MINISTER SMITHS RECALL.
Mass Meetings in the Zig Cities VIII
Take up the Agitation.


Great applause greeted the announce
ment made by Coroner Ferdinand Levy
of New York, in the B'nai Jacob Syna-
gogue last evening, that mass meetings
are TO be held in New York, Baltimore,
Washington and many other large cities,
to protest against the continuance Of
Charles Emory Smith as United States
minister TO Russia. Coroner Levy adj
dressed the Philadelphia Branch Of the
Jewish Alliance of America and hun
dreds Of others in the synagogue, at No.
412 Lombard street, in the interests of
the alliance. He said;
"The attitude Of Minister Smith
toward our people in Russia is so detrl-
mental TO the poor of that country and
so misrepresents the sentiments of his
own country that II would be dis
grace to have him remain at st. Peters,
burg any longer. Mr.. Smith says our
people are not oppressed. Why then
do they leave their homes and the
homes of their fathers by the hundreds
and emigrate to foreign lands2 Our
alliance here is to protect our country
men and care for them from the time
they arrive here until they have secured
employment"
There arc about 100 members of the
alliance in Philadelphia, although the
branch was organized but few months
ago. There arc big branches in New
York and Baltimore, and others are to
be established in cities where Russian
Jews dwell in any considerable num-
hers.

A German ship, just seized and fined

Australia, but instead going To the
Pryboloff Islands, reports them covered

il intended to embark in a spectacular
political war with historic enemy in
the desperate hope that it will pump
breath into the ribs Of party that has
lost its grip in peace? The people will
fight it out, NJ fear Of that. And when
it is over they will crunch the skull of

An Unprecedented Mist--Chicugo and
Other Great Cities are Compelled to
Work by Sound.
NEW YoRK, Dec 3i.-Nearly the entire
telegraph system of the United States was
in o comatose state tonight. Throughout
the west and southwest gigantic wet
blanket of mist, hundreds of miles i'll eX
tent, almost stifled every throb of cleo
tricity, and the wires stretching from city
to city were literally sodden and lifeless,
To the east blizzard was overturning
poles and swapping small cords holding
far.separated cities together.
A dispatch from Chicago over one Of the
few wires which could occasionally he
worked from that city, thus describes an
unfortunate state of affairs:
Scores of telegraph operators sat help-
lessly at their tables in this city watching
for a chance click of their saunders, or
lingering mechanically the adjustments Of
motionless relays. All chief operators
We're in DISNEY. According to the Oldest
veterans such q widespread condition of
paralysis was unprecedented since the in
vrution of the telegraph.
The first symptoms of the gradually
widening stonpage of all electric commu-
nications were first noticed south of Louis
vile, and yesterday the trouble had grown
to such proportions that the usual make
up of lengthy circuits had been completely
abandoned, and curious patchwork of
roundabout routes substituted for the I'M
portant telegraphic traffic.
Last night the country west and north
west of Chicago began TO be affected and
as serious Interruptions were frequent to-
day the east was drawn into the general
vortex of Generalization, and tonight the
situation had grown so desperate that an
Associated Press trunk line, usually
worked in continuous circuit from Wash
ington and Minneapolis, New York to st.
Paul, taking in all the important inter.
mediate cities, had been cut into short
lengths, scarcely sixth of the usual dis
lance, and extra operators provided at
each sub-terminous without producing
any appreciable benefit.
The aspect of the streets here this after
noon and evening was something remark
able. A dense fog prevented more than the
shadowy outlines of objects being seen
more than few feet away. When the fac
tories poured their throngs into the thor
oughfarcs at the close Of work the side
walks and pavements seemed in inextrica-
BILE confusion.
The gongs Of cable cars were kept sound
ing and added to the din of cursing from
teamsters, car drivers and pedestrians, and
the hundreds Of horns that were to be used
to usher in the new year were brought into
requisition.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional rene
dies. Deafness is caused by an inhamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
euStachian tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have a rumbing sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

OTTAWA, ONT, Jan. 3.-lon, G. Fl.
Topper has gone to New York. His
gdeparture caused surprise and the
object of his visit is matter
of conjecture. As Mr.. Upper is
the minister specially charged with
the Behring Sea negotiations, his
visits to the United States have always
been connected with that subject, and
it was stated that he was en-
route to Washington to confer
with Sir Julian Pauncefote, respecting
the Behring Sea situation. Sir John
Thompson says, however, that this is
not so, and that Mr. Topper had gone
to New York simply on a holiday.

HE COTTON C9OP.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The cotton re-
turns OF the depart ment of agriculture for
November are not favorable fol a high
rate of yield. The lateness of the crop.
the extremes of temperature, the excess of
rainfall, followed hy drouth, causing en-
feebled vitality and loss of foliage and
fruit, have been unfavorable to a large
crop. On the northern border of the belt
killing frosts occurred on the 29th, in some
places as early as the Esd. West of the
Mississippi there has been some improve
ment during The past month.
The season has been very favorable for
picking Quality is almost everywhere
reported high and the fiber is of good color
and unusually tree from trash. The yield
as averaged from the county estimates
averages 179 pounds to the acre, distributed
as follows: Virginia, ISL; North Carolina
rs; SOU h Carolina. 100; Georgia, 155;
Florida, 100; Alabama, 165; Mississippi, 100:
Louisiana. 200: Texas, 1S5; Arkansas, 2l0;
Tennessee, 10.
AS killing frosts have not vet been gen.
eral in the southern and western sections
of the belt it is possible, with favorable
weather following, that current expecta-
lions may he slightly exceeded.
MEXlA, Tex, Nov. lion Sunday last
this section of the country WAS blessed
with an excellent rain. This is the first
rain that has fallen since last summer,
and breaks the longest drouth ever known.
IL has come too late to increase the yield
of colt on, unless il has until the middle of
December in which to mature. Farmers
say that there is a great deal of cotton in
the country yet, far more than is generally
thought, which they are going to hold for
better prices. 1t is estimated that there
are yet 5000 bales in the country surround
ing Mexia. and that there will be almost
as much brought to thus point as was
brought last year There have come to
the different yards to date 10000 bales, and
il 5000 more are received the yield Will be
only 500 short of last year.

BERINc SEA ARBITRATION.

WASHINGTON. Nov. lit j. learned this
evening that the Boring sea treaty has not
yet received the signatures of the repre-
sentatives of the United States and Great
Britain; for, although all the points to be
submitted have been agreed upon, the
method of arbitration is still matter open
to discussion. This must arranged and
included ia the terms of the treaty. 1t is
believed. however, by persons in authority
that the remaining point will be adjusted
before the meeting of the senate and that
the arbitrator will have defined the exact
rights of the United States and Great
Britain in Boring sea before the opening OF
the next session.
Regarding the decision of the supreme
court in the Ssyward case, it can be stated
that the administration is awaiting the
outcome with equauimity. Ii the court
deny the British contention, the result
would be very gratifying; but If IL should
take the other course and find the seizure
Of the vessel to have been illegal. the adj
ministrHtion has the satisfaction of point
ing to the fact hat it is in no way respon-
Sible for the seizure of the 5 tyward, which
was made by order of its predecessor.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE case of the
American schooner Sylvia Handy, seized
in 1887 for seal poaching, was argued in
the United States supreme court today.
The briefs in the case and the arguments
followed the line of argument in the Say
ward case and were substantially the
same, the government in fact merely Civ
ing new title TO its briefs.
