THE PRINCE AND THE JEWS.
The Prince of Wales Is Looking Into the
Condition of Russian Jews.

Tne Yrbncc Oh thies ~ A<voHs"b
Condition of Russian Jews.
LONDON, Sept. ia correspondent Ia
Russia, who is in a position which en-
ables him to speak by authority, writes
as follows to the Times IL is not gen.
orally known that the Prince OF Wales
after thoroughly studying the question
of the Russian Jews. has Interested
himself on their behalf to an extent
and in q manner that should earn Tor
his royal highness the gratitude OF
every jew in Europe and America
The question is an extremely difficult
one to touch in any way, for the sus-
capabilities ot Russia in regard
to her internal affairs are easily
aroused. 1t was not possible
therefore, for the prince to take any
direct measures towards the ameliora-
ton of the Russian Jews. Indirectly,
however, and in a manner that could
raise no question in the minds OF the
most reactionary officials, the Prince Oh
Wales has effectively aided the efforts
now being made TO organize measures
for the relief of the miserable and des-
titute Hebrew population OF Europe. i
am told on good authority that on more
than one occasion the Prince OF Wales
has discussed the whole question with
Mr.. Arnold White, and that among
other results of his royal higbness
studies is that the Princess of Wales,
who is acting hand-in-hand with the
prince in the matter, has furnished Mr..
White with letters to the Russian court
which are proving an immense assist
ance towards the solution of this diff
cult question.

This is great year for big crops.
Now it is the salmon crop that exceeds
anything in the history of the country.
Puget Sound is reported to be so filed
with salmon, making their annual run
to the sound shores and the freshwater
streams for feeding and spawning, that
the steamboats, seem to be floating on
a solid mass of fish. The paddles kill
hundreds of them and are choked with
their bodies. The sound steamer cap
tains describe the run as an unbroken
string of salmon thirty miles long, the
water for that distance being fairly
alive with them. Neither the 90 est
inhabitants nor the aged Indians re-
member such big salmon run. The
result of the enormous run Is big re-
duction In prices. Usually good sal
mon sell for 10 to 25 cents apiece, but
now at cent each the market is glut-
ted with the finest quality of fish. At
Port Williams a few days ago two casts
of seine netted over 3, 200 fine salmon.
Every body Is fishing.
