THE JEWISH MOVEMENT FROM
EUROPE.
At Least 200. 900 Have Arrived within
tho Last Three Years.


New York Sun; From q report Of Commits
sIoncr Senner we learn that nearly 10000
Russian Jewish immigrants arrived Mt this
port In the months Of July and August. or
enough to run UP the Number for eight
months OF the year To about 10000. To these
Jewish newcomers from Russia we must add
those from Poland, and IN the number landed
at thi. port we must add those landed at
other ports, or perhaps ia all about 5000.
After examining the statistics Of the arrivals
of Storage passengers nj New York and
other ports for the last three years, We be-
lirve II to he n proper estimate that there have
come 10 this country within that time rs
many a. 100000 Jewish immigrants, the
greater part Of them from Russia.
The Jewish movement from Europe 10
America. which has reached such large pro-
portions In recent times, Is likely TO continue
for yet many ycars. The Russian govern
ment Ia yet bearing hard upon IT, five or six
millions Of Jewish subjects, a large proportion

In order TO ion their brethren In the United
States, who, At this time, arc not far from
million. II might be supposed that the news
NJ the hard times 10 this country would have
put n stop to their coming, but II has not had
any such effect thus far. n We know BY the
