NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.-Among the pas
sengers on the Majestic, which arrived
to-day, was DR.. Walter Kempster, Spe-
cial immigration Commissioner. who has
made an exhaustive investigation of the
Russian phase of the subject. Concern
ing his trip and results of it. DIR. Kemp
ster said he could say nothing until his
official report was made
Il will speak on one subject, however, -
said he. 'It is with reference to the Ger
mans, who are being expelled from
Russia in great numbers. This is being
done in spite of the fact that there has
been no ukase issued ordering the ex-
pulsion of Germans. They are being
forced out by a system which the people
of this country cannot understand. Hith-
erto their villages have been allowed to
elect their own President. Last fall an
order was issued that all persons elected
to such positions should kiss the Russian
Christ All these Germans being Roman
Catholics, have naturally decided not to
do this, hence they are debarred.
Other methods of persecution are
practiced," said DIR. kempster 'If the
Germans desire to build any churches or
repair existing structures they are re-
quired to submit plans to the Holy
Synod. This body always raises the esti-
mate from hundreds to thousands, pre-
cluding the possibility of having the
work doue. The German language is not
allowed now to be taught in the schools.
All this is nothing more than religious
persecution. The consequence is that the
Germans, who are wretchedly poor, are
selling their small holdings at any price
and leaving Russia. Many are going to
the Argentine Republic, while others are
coming here" DIR. Kempster says they
form the most desirable immigrants for
this country.
Speaking of the forthcoming report of
the commission, he said when the report
is published it will be the text of every
newspaper and for every pulpit in the
land.

THE FAMOUS ANDovER CASE.
Professor Snyth Wins His Case Before
the Supreme Court.


the Supreme Court.
BosToN. Oct. 2S.-The decree of the
Board Of Visitors has been set aside in
the famous Andover case. The decision
of the Supreme Court is on the ground
that the trustees are not made parties to
the original proceedings. The decision
means victory for Professor Egbert e.
Smyth, who was expelled from Phillips
Academy in Andover, and doubtless ends
the struggle that has been before the pub
lie for over five years.
The decision covers only one of the
many grounds of the appeal set out by
Professor Smyth's lawyers, namely, that
the Board Of Visitors acted unjustly and
illegally in refusing to allow the Board
of Trustees to have share in the trial.
Technically, the effect of the decision is
to send the case back to the Board of
Visitors for a new trial.

PARIS, Oct. 2S.-Jules Simon, in an in
terview to-day, said he did not think war
probable. He added: while L was in
Berlin as a delegate to the International
Labor Congress, Emperor William told
me that he desired peace. and the tone in
which he said it left no doubt in my mind
that he was sincere. The Czar also wants
peace, and France will not be the nation
to commence hostilities in Europe"
Simon is quoted as declining to venture
to say whether or not the Franco Russian
entente included an agreement to expel
England from Egypt. In this connec-
ton, Simon said he did not credit Russia
with having any designs to conquer In
dia, but that Russian expansion in Asia
was only natural.
