LONDON, Mar. 26.-The announcement that
the Queen has appointed Arthur Wilson to be
high sheriff Of Yorkshire and proposes to be-
stow upon him the honor Of knighthood, has

Of one of the defendants in the Sir
William Gordon-C Cumming suit for slander.
The appointment Is said to have been
made at the urgent personal request # the
Prince Of Wales. and in the face Of the re-
luctance Of Lord Salisbury, who wished 70
defer the bestOwal Of hOnOrs upon Mr. VIII

LONDON, Mar pa dispatch from st. Pc

ating considerable development in Russia.
IL is that Of conversion. II appears that
the Russian Government, not being willing TO
trust only 10 theological arguments and penal
laws. offers "a reward 70 all Jews who Will be-
come Christians. The consequence Is that
number of Jews. deprived by the severe
enforcement Of the decress against their race
Of the opportunity 20 make an honest living,
have entered on the practice OF being con-
verted at regular intervals and receiving each
time government bounty Of fifteen rOubles.
One Hebrew named Schwartboskoh, has been
at last detected. after seven different conver-
sions in as many different localities.
II happened that the Russian priest, to
whom he made known his desire for the
seventh time for baptism and fifteen roubles
had been recently transferred from Elizabeth;;
Grad. where the convert had been baptized
and rewarded only about two months before
consequently Schwartboskotfs will undergo no
more conversions for the prerent rs the police
have him in hand.
A number of similar instances have been re-
ported. and as % result the religious authori-
ties have been instructed not 10 pay u reward
unless they have investigated the antecedents
OF tho convert.
