Baltimore to China as the flagship Of the
Asiatic station. While this determination
has no direct bearing on the present agita-

Over n Refusal to Sign . Passport.
NEW YORK, May 1s.-While the Russian
consul general has nothing to say on the
subject, IL is safe to state that he is watch
ing with curious interest the visit of four
New Workers In Washington.
He recently declined to sign the passport
Of a Jewess, claiming American citizen
ship, who desired to return to Russia on a
visit. In doing this, he claimed that he
was simply obeying the Jaws of his coun-
try, and that his action was not caused by
any race prejudice on his part.
Jesse Seligman, ex-Minister Oscar
Straus, Colonel Weber, Julius Goldman
and c. NJ. Isaacs protested to Secretary
Gresham yesterday regarding this recent
action and asked the state department to
obtain as far as possible an amelioration,
IL not a suspension, Of the order. Mr..
Gresham's reply was decisive, but dis
couraging. He said that however harsh
and unjust "a law might seem to Ameri-
cans, it was none the less the edict of the
Russian government and applied to a sub
ject over which the Russian government
had sole decision. 1t was impossible for
the United States government to interfere
in a matter which was simply ar insist
ence Of the right of Russia to exclude un-
desirable persons from it's territory.

illusions therein arrived ut.
