The Chinese Riots.
The late outbreak against foreigners
in various parts of the Chinese empire
has been a cause of deep pain in view of
the numerous establishments of our
citizens in the interior of that country.
This government can 10 no less than
insist upon a continuance Of the pro-
tective and punitOry measures which
the Chinese government has heretofore
applied. No effort will be omitted 10
protect our citizens peaceably adjourn
ing in China, but recent unofficial in
formation indicates that what was at
first regarded as an outbreak Of mob
violence against foreigners has assumed
h larger form Of an instruction
against public order.

A Protest to Russia.
This government has found occasion
70 express, IN a friendly spirit. but with .
much ea~rDe,tness, TO the government or
the car, its serious concern becau-- ID.
the harsh measures now being Offered
against the Hebrews in Russia. By the
revival Of antisOmitic laws, long Iu
~abeyance, great numbers of thes- I'M
fortunate people have been constrained
To n their homes aud leave thu
empire by reason of the im~pOssibilitv of
finding substance within tine pale 10
which IL Is sought TO cOntne them. The
immigration Of these people 70 the
United Statesman other countries
being closed to them-is largely incraa~-
ing and Is likely 20 assume proportions
which may make il difficult 10 tiuI
homes and employment for them here
and TO seriously affect the labor market.
1t Is estimated that over one million will
be forced from Russia within d few
years.
A decree TO leave one country is. in
nature Of things, al order 10 enter an
Other-some other. This consideration.
- well as the suggestions of humanity.
furnishes ample ground for the r.
mOnstrances which we have presented

The Treasury Departments. I
Tn general interest IN the operations !
of the treasury department has been .
much augmented during the last year J

which accompanied and followed the I
