Edfcfs Against the Jews Vigorously

happy Hebrews Profess Conversion
to the Russian orthodox Church.
LONDON. Dec. 29.-Latest advices from
st. Petersburg and other parts of Russia
show that the persecution of the Jews and
the inhumanity of the czar's officials
toward that unhappy race are greater than
ever. Six edicts have been issued aiming
to dispense the Jewish subjects of Russia,
weaken their position and trading centers
and crush out their religion. These edicts
are enforced with the utmost rigor and
with severity everywhere. The Moscow
papers boast that since the beginning of
1891 twenty thousand Jews have been
converted to orthodoxy. The unhappy
converts, who have been driven to pre-
tended denial of their faith to escape in
tolerable persecution, have been deported
to the district of Teherkesovo, about five
miles from Moscow. There they are rigor-
ously governed by priests of the Russian
orthodox church, who require them to at
tend the services of that church and to
comply with its various rules, watching

their business are robbed of the money

FALL RIVER, Dec 29.-In relation to
the story published concerning Miss Bor-

As Bridget Sullivan testified at the pre-
liminary hearing that she did not know
what dress Miss Borden wore the morning
of the murders, as the police only found in
the stove the remains of some oharred
paper, which is easily accounted for, as
the dress was not burned until the Sunday
after the murders, and as the fact of its
burning was unknown to the district at
tornsy or police until after the ten days
adjournment of the grand jury last month,
and as Miss Russell did not say "red
paint" although juryman put the ques-

night he is as well as he was last night"
A call at the Blaine residence brought
forth the statement that Mr.. Blaine was

impression Mr.. Blaine made upon him was
about the came as that made upon j. 81.
Msnley, who saw Mr.. Blaine yesterday,
viz, that Mr.. Blaine is slowly i'm
proving, but is still very i'll. The
impression that row prevails among those
who have actual knowledge of Mr.. Blaine's
condition is that while he is very sick he
is in no immediate danger of death. No
one is bold enough, however, to assert that
Mr.. Blaine will ever again be well man. !"
At midnight Mr.. Blaine was resting qui-

ST.. PETERSBURG, Dec. 29.-Professor
Nensky has expoundsd new theory of the
origin of cholera before the Russian Medi-
cal society. DR.. Blostein, finding that he
could not produce cholera by in
jections of Koch's comma baccili,
sought for and found two new

lowed an injection of three varieties of

that innoculation with the three organisms
will give immunity from the disease.

NEW oRK, Dec. 29.-The failure of
Wayland, Traak & Co. was announced to-
day on the stock exchange. The firm was
composed of Waylaud, Trask. Theodore
Bald win and A. N. Rankin, and had Offices
at Is Wall street. The failure had been
expected since yesterday, when the firm
notified its customers they must take up
their own contracts. The failure caused
no excitement in the street. The cause of
the failure at first was thought to be too
much confidence in Northern Paci6cs,
which have for a year been declining
steadily in value. Mr.. Trask's lawyer, 3.
Fl. Stern, however, this afternoon said:
"Ths suspension of Wayland, Trask &

The Plan of Selling the franchise
Given Up.
New YORK, Dec. 29.-The auction sale
of the underground rapid transit franchise
took place at noon to day on the city hall
steps. Eugene L. Bushe, one of the rapid
transit commissioners, made the sale. In
drawing up the terms of to-dsy's sale care
was taken that it should not necessarily be
final.
w. N. Amory bid $500 and of l per
cent. of gross receipts during the opera
tions of the road for the whole term, pay
able to the city, which he estimated at
$500 year on total of $50, 900, 900.
Mr.. Amory was employed by the rapid
transit commissioners to get the consent
of property owners along the proposed
route. 1t is known positively who he rep
resents in the matter.
Mr.. Busche did not consider the bid in
accordance with the terms of the sale, but
said he would hold it unde, consideration.
Mr.. Amory then increased his offer to
81 900 in cash. This was also taken under
consideration. No other bill was received.
The rapid transit commission, after de.
liberatipg until 2:45 p. m. on the bids re-
csived, finally formulated their decision
into the following resolution:
Resolved, That the bids made this day by Mr.
holland A Amory are not deemed by this com
mission to be advantageous to the public and the
city of New York, or Its interests, and the bids
are hereby rel cted, pursuant TO the right re
served by the terms of sale, and that the sum o.
| 500 deposited by him be returned to him.
The commissioners then adjourned t.
meet ct No. % William street at 5 p. m.
After the adjournment of the commits
sion Mr.. Amory stated in effect that h
| would yet secure the franchise, but re
| fused to say who was interested in tn
matter beside himself. The commissioner
also refused to talk.
At the session of the rapid transit com
missioners at p. m. they decided to Civ
up for the present the plan of selling tn
franchise. After adjournment Commits
sioner Steinway said: "The commissioner
must recognize the fact that at present n
underground system of transit can be soil
| and that the streets must inevitably be In
vaded. The commission is, therefore
compelled to devise a plan by elevate
structures which shall provide a sufhcien
system of rapid transit without too grea
injury to the streets. These structure
might be partly in the streets and psrtl
through the blocks"
