LONDON, Sept. IA letter is pub
lished here today from the minister IN
charge of Christ's church, Jerusalem,
saying that On petition OF the native
| tradesman, the sultan has stopped the
influx of Russian jews and that he will
not permit them to land in Palestine
without a special order. Families have
arrived by steamer lately, but were sent
| back.
TIE letter adds that Baron Hirsch
ought to arrange with the port terms
Of settlement which would permit of
Jews locating in Palestine. Palestine,
the writer says, is at present thlnly
peopled. II the country was terraced,
planted and supplied with water reser-
Voirs it would be highly productive and
the cost would be small in com mparison
with the expense Of the system adop
ted IN South America countries. In
conclusion the clergyman says that the
country across the river Jordan is fine
and fertile, pract,ca,i- uninhablted and
able to receive an enormous number of
settlers.
LONDON, Sept, 7.-Commenting on a
statement cabled to this city from
Shanghai, purporting to give the views
of the educated classes OF Chinese in
regard to foreign missionaries and de-
manding the withdrawal of the foreign
missions from Chinese territory, which
it is claimed, have utterly failed in the
objects they were intended to accom-
pllsh and only tends to foment revolt,
the Times today says: "The lesson to
be drawn is that liberal treatment of
China is useless. Europe should In-
flexlbly and sternly insist upon the OBJ
servance of treaty rights and thus avoid
irritating fussy naval displays. We are
glad to believe that il is the view now
held by the foreign Office"
DENVER, Sept. BLACK Bear, chief
OF the Indians on exhibition at Sisk's
garden, got full of firewater last night
and whipped his squaw. When the
other Indians demonstrated the chief
took another pull at his flask and
started to clean out the other aborigi-
nes. He made for Bear Robe in reg
ular Indian fashion, raising terrible
war whoops and that Indian, not caring
for personal encounter, drew his six
shooter and fired three shots at Black
Bear, two of them taking effect. The
chief will not allow the doctors to ex-
anime him, but it is thought one of the
bullets, which entered his back, will
prove to have made fatal wound.

CHICAGO, Sept. Vessels were char
tered here Saturday TO carry 1,I0O,UOO
bushels of grain To Buffalo. Not only
were all the boats now IN port taken by
grain shippers, but nearly all the fleet
to arrive here next week was also char
tered in rush. Every vessel on the
great lakes not tied down by contractors
for the next week was called for and
still the shippers wanted more. Rates
were advanced TO the basis OF 3 cents on
corn and 80 cents on wheat. The rush
was understood to be owing to the fact
that the corn clique who had largely
sold their holdings for October shipment
from New York, decided that it was now
time to get it started from Chicago.
