As is well known, the TO- torious May laws, passed by Alexander III. in 1881, restricted the rights of residence of his Jewish subjects by con- fining them to the already overcrowded towns of the provinces of western Rus sia, the so-called pale of Jewish settle- ment, in which alone they are allowed to reside.
