UNCLE SAM MUST RECOGNIZE

The Law of Russia by Which the Rus
sian Consuls are Instructed TO Issue or
Refuse Passports.
WASHINGTON, May 1s.-A party Of
prominent New Workers, consisting of
Oscar S. Straus, ex-minister to Turkey;
Jesse Seligman. julius Goldman, Colonel
John B Weber and NJ s. Isaaes called
on Secretary G resham yesterday and had
a conference with him.
Secretary Gre sham and the members
of the party refused to talk about the
subject discussed but It is understood
that the delegation asked that
some action be taken with a view
to having this government insist that
passports issued to American citizens
of the Jewish faith who contemplate
visiting Russia shall be vised by Rus
rian consuls at various ports.
The recent refusal of the Russian
consul at New York 10 countersign the
passport Of a Jewish woman, whose
husband is an American citizen. on the
ground that his government forbade him
from doing so, is said to be the under
lying reason for the reported protest
Inquiry at the State Department de-
veloped that such a law governed con
suls of the Russian government and that
the United States was obliged to recog-
nize 1t.

Foreign Ships of War Have Left Our Ports.
Only Four American Fleets Spared.
WASHINGTON, May IS Secretary
Herbert said to day that the proposed
naval rendezvous" at Annapolis, on the
occasion Of the commencement of the
exercises at the Naval Academy on June
1 would not take place.
The Secretary corresponded with the
mayor of Baltimore on the subject and
it was agreed between them that il
would be unfair to the people interested
to offer them naval display that would
be small and Insignificant in comparison
with the recent demonstration at Hamp.
ton Roads and New York
Most of the foreign ships of war have
left our ports and only four of our own
feet could be spared for this purpose II
was therefore concluded that a creditable
naval display at Annapolis at this time
was impossible.

Our Odessa correspondent writes: ''The gov
eminent has already apportioned q sum Of
Il, 000, 900 rubles for the relief of those prov
inces where the scarcity Of food stuas during
the winter will be little less scutely felt than il
was last season II, however, the estimates and
reports Of the provincial authorities may be &c
cepted as Trustworthy, the government will be
compelled to eapend al least SO 660, 600 Of
rubles in relief measures before the advent of
spring. There is more than a sufficient abund-
ance of food and seed grain in the country to
meet all possible necessities and after the les
son Of last year the ministerial executive must
be held to have absolutely not the ehadow of an
excuse for any failure Of railway transport or
ganization IN the timely supply Of food stuffs
to the famished districts. The complete stag
nation in the grain export tr AIDE is causing much
misery among large number Of people directly
or indirectly dependent on the prosperity Of this
local staple industry. There lie o latent and
well-grounded fear among Russian exporters
that the grain industry will never recover any,
thing like its former pre-eminen nee in the west
ern markets 1t has been in very large meas
ure displaced by America, against whose low
prices the Russian producer and the Russian
exportercan no longer struggle. For the first
time during a generation Russia has now been
awakened to the ugly fact that Europe is indie
pendent OF her graineries.
