RUSSIAN JEWS.

LONDON, Sept. 26.-In Darkest Russia
points out that Baron Hirsch's scheme, if
successful, can only provide for about
per cent of the Russian Jews.
A letter, which first appeared in the An
ti-Jacobin, and which is signed IAN Isra-
elite Wanderer," has been republished in
the newspapers and is attracting consider
able attention. 1t strongly defends Rus
STA. and declares that the laws relating to
the Jews are by no means so inequitable
as imagined. Referring to the domicile
law, this letter says that it has never been
altered. but that it is enforced with so lit
tie vigor that oDe-third of the jews reside
today in governments from which they
were excluded generations ago. This, he
says, is sign of gradual improvement,
which is the best that can be expected
from semi-civilized country like Russia.
Continuing. the writer says that 1000
Jews reside in st. Petersburg, and that
similar number reside in Moscow.
1.-THE explosions" he adds "are entirely
due to Jewish violations of law. Ever
since Russia opened her cities to Jewish
traders they have been recognized by the
guilds OF professional men and merchants.
1t has been the aim of the Hebrews who
are excluded from that privilege to obtain
a settlement in the central provinces.
Between 10000 and 100000 Jews now re-
side in Russia in open violation of law,
owing 30 fraudulent permits, or by -bribing
of officials. Being undisturbed, they be-
came confident and invested their money
in houses, which was against the law, and
then when orders were received to enforce
the dOmicile law, the outside world hears
of wholesale expulsion of them. accom-
panied by brutality. But every Jew so
expelled courted his own fate. They all
know what they are doing when they pass
the pale of their domicile. The poor Jews
suffer most from the rigor OF the law; be-
ing peddlers porters and such like, they
are at the mercy of every petty Official. II
Baron Hirsch's scheme includes these poor
Jews it takes up the most uupromising
material iI is possible TO deal with. They
have neither the physique for hard work
nor resources OF any Kind. They and their
families must be supported from the mo-
ment they leave Russia until the indefinite
date when they can maintain themselves

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26-The weather
crop bulletin issued by the weather bureau
says Over the region east of the Rocky
mountains, the past week has been warmer
than the corresponding week of any pre-.
yious year of which there has been a rec
ord in this Office. This abnormal condition
of the weather applies especially to the
central valleys and lake region, where the
average daily temperature was from 10 to
20 degrees above the normals This unus-
ually high temperature, with continuous
cooler weather, has secured the corn crop
to maturity, and this large crop is practi-
cally safe from injury by frost. The
weather conditions were unfavorable for
fall farm work owing to the continued
drouth and dryness of the soil in tue win
ter wheat region. The week was unus-
ually dry throughout the agricultural
regions east Of the Mississippi, and gener-
ally over the lower Missouri aud upper
Mississippi valleys. Light showers oc-
Cured over Texas, and thence northward
over the Indian Territory aud portions Of
Kansas and Nebraska; but generally there
was total absence of rain over the central
valleys and thence eastward. In Missouri
the hot, dry weather has delayed wheat
seeding and fired the corn. Pastures and
winter apples are being injured and stock
water is scarce In Kansas fall blowing is
in progress in the western portion, but
none in the eastern. The corn harvest is
progressing in all parts Of the state.

were on the fifth floor, left their cases and
rushed nic-stricken down the stairway
into the street. Throughout the whole

from their homes in great alarm. No
serious damage is reported as yet

special agent of the general land office, to-
day telegraphed the secretary OF the in
terror from Guthrie that neither the loca-
lion nor situation at Chandler is as bad
as reported; that Special Agent Scothorn
writes that there is enough good land for
the business portion of the town; that the
water supply was only temporarily ex-
hausted by the rushing in of 1900 people
with countless horses TO water: that every
thing is all right now, and that the howl
comes chiefly from disappointed lot specu-
Ittors, who did not intend to locate there.
He says also that the editor of Guthrie
paper after a personal inspection, has
written favorably about the location OF
the new county seats. and that there has
been strong efforts made to pick a flaw in
this very successful government business
by the disaifected and Unprincipled.

The STRIP QUESTION.

Special DfSpatch TO the Daily Eagle
HENNEssEY. o. T., Sept. 26-In settling
the Cherokee outlet the motto of the set
tiers should be, Free homesteads for
landless millions" For the first time in
the history OF our government tariff has
been placed on public land opened to
homestead settlers, which is a perversion
of the homestead law Actual settlement
and cultivation for period of five years
has entitled the settler to his patent on
public land for thirty years; but the last
congress-the billion-dollar congress-lav-
ish to the extreme in the distribution of
public money in cities and towns, and in
the improvement of rivers in localities
where railroads cover the lands AS net
work. made provision for the opening of
4, 295, 900 acres in the western part OF Okla
homa under the homestead law, with q
stipulation that the settlers on these
lands, the poor men of the country at
tempting to make home for their fam
lilies, away from the comforts Of civiliza-
ton with blanket Indians for neighbOrs,
enduring the privations of pioneer life,
shall pay to the richest government on
earth for the privilege Of developing the
country sl20 at the end of two years, and
$l2O at the end OF three years more. That
to attempt to do this means ruin TO 80 per
cent of all who undertake it experience in
Oklahoma has proven, for not one settler
in hundred in the territory today could
pay the first installment after a residence
of two and one-half years and the harvest
ing of good crop.
Such burden must not be imposed on
on the settlers Of the outlet. The courts
have decided that this land has reverted
to the United States, not in trust for any
one but absolutely and is now part Of
the public domain. The settlers then, in
demanding that the land policy Of the
government for the past thirty years be
carried out in dealing with them, are ask
ing for no concessions OF favors- The com
mon people OF our country never ask or
receive favors from the government, aud
the classes who do receive favorS never set
tie on the public domain.
In bringing these lands within the juris-
diction of L lifted States land Offices for
entry, an attempt may re made in con-
gress to place price upon them. and This
attempt should be defeated. With no title
to sell, nothing should be paid 70 the
Cherokees. They have already received
for lands 10 which they had no claim the
