BLAINE AND THE JEWS,

Meeting at Washington.

He Secures a Postponement Of the
Meeting at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Gazette
says: ''The Jews residing in the United
States intended to have called meeting to
take place in this city Jan. "a, to voice
their indignation against the continued
tyranny of Russia to the brethren of their
faith. As Cardinal Gibbons and leading di-
vines of other faiths had expressed their
sympathy, il was expected that such a
demonstration would give expression on
the part af the jewish citizens of America
to their feeling for the oppressed of every
nation. Mr.. Secretary Blaine, however,
fearing the effect of such demonstration,
went to New York and begged the leading
Jews Of that city to have the meeting post
poned. and promised to take some official
action in the matter, saying that he might
have been imposed upon by his representa-
tives abroad. While the representative
Jews of this city take very little
stock in these promises of MIR. Blaine, yet
in Difference to the wishes OF their New
York brethren it was concluded to post
pone the meeting. a well known gentle man
of the jewish faith said yesterday: ''In 1870,
when man was President of the United
States, a single cablegram from him to the
Car of Russia caused him to recall the
ukase of banisning the Jews of Bessarabia,

Thirteen Lives Lost-The Vessels Had
Collided.


Collided.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE steamer Britannia.
from Leith, came into collision with the
steamer Bear from Grangemouth, In the
Firth of Forth, Scotland, at an early hour
this morning. The Bear sank Immediately,
her crew having no time to launch
a boat or make any effort whatever
to save themselves. OF fourteen
men on board the Bear, twelve went down
with the vessel. Two others were rescued
by boat from the Britannia After the
collision the Britannia, which was badly
damaged, transferred her forty-five
pasSeng ers to the steamer Thames and
was then taken in tow by that
vessel, the two steamers proceeding
slowly in the direction of Leith. They had
not gone far, however before the hawser
connecting the vessels was snapped asunder
Before another line could be carried to the
damaged vessel she gave a terrific
plunge and sank beneath the waves
Fortunately the crew had put ON life bolts
after the collision with the Bear, aud all,
with the exception of the chief engineer,
managed TO keep afloat until they were
picked up by boats from the steamer
Thames. The chief engineer went down
with the vessel, and nothing was seen OF
him again.

POSTAL TRLRoRAPRY.
Wanamaker Urges the Committee to
Act on His Bill

Act on His Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-At last Fridays
meeting Of the House postoffice committee
letter was read from Postmaster General
Wanamaker urging prompt and favorable
action on his postal telegraph bill, which
the committee has kept secret. A member
of the committee, however, thus
describes it: "The letter, which was
dated Friday, Jan. 9, made note of the
fact that the bill had been before the COM
mittee nearly year, and that it was about
time that report should be made. 1t also
called attention to the admirable report
made six years ago by Chairman Bingham.
In that report Chairman Bingham took
strong grounds in favor of postal tele-
graph, and the letter quoted his expressions
about the insidious influences of the West
ern Union Company"
Chairman Bingham, when asked for a
copy of the letter, declined to give it,
although he said he had no objection to the
Postmaster General giving it out. Asked
how he reconciled his present position on
this question with that which he took some
years ago, he said he had not changed his
opinion. He always held that the govern
ment had the right to go into the market
and take possession of the telegraph just as
it would take possession of any other prop
ersy, but that was an entirely different mat
ter from the scheme advocated by the Post
master General

FIGHT FOR THIS FORCE BILL
The proceedings of the Senate, after the
financial bill is out of the way, are prob
lematical. An effcrt will be made bv the
republican senators TO hold a caucus TO
agree upon programme, and If this caucus
is held determined attempt will be made
to cause it to place the elections bill again
in the van Of party measures and
force it through the Senate with
the aid of the cloture rule.
Should this attempt to secure caucus action
on the elecJions bill fail the probabilities are
that either the appoTtionment bill, pension
appropriation bill, ono or more of pending
labor bills, or perhaps the Conger lard bill,
with the Paddock pure food bill as an alter
native, will be taken up.

Monday is "Distriotn day, but Chairman
Cutcheon of the military affairs committee
expects to make an effort to have the army

cussion Saturday, disposed of before dis
rict legislation is given the floor.
THE SHIPPING BILL.
Tuesday an effort will be made to take up
the shipping bill and push it to final vote
as early as possible. The opposition de-
veloped. however, is very great and the
prospects are that the bill will not be ont of
the way until Thursday afternoon, although
its friends hope to secure final vote before
adjournment Wednesday.
Friday is set apart for private bills.
SIX APPROPRIATION BILLS.
Six appropriation bills are on the calendar,
and from now on advantage will be taken
OF every opportunity to bring them before
the House.
The Senate financial bill Is expected to
reach the House the latter part of the
week. There is no reason to expect the
bill to cut any figure in the House during
this week, but in view Of the fight last ses-
sion over the silver bill the situation is full
of possibilities.
