The charges. made against the Rev.

The charges made against the Rev. A.
Ben-Oliel and his Christian Union Mis-
sion in Jerusalem, contained in a letter
from resident of Jerusalem, which was
printed in the PRESS yesterday, are not
new. Ii substance they were made a
year ago by the Rev. Selah Merrill, ex-
consal of the United States at Jerusalem,
and were investigated by the late Or. A.
J. Gordon Of Boston. At the conclusion
of his investigation DIR. Gordon submit
ted his evidence to Thomas J. Emery,
prominent lawyer of Boston for his
opinion, and Mr.. Emery replied as fol-
lows:
Boston, Jan. IS. 1895.
Dear DR.. Gordon-AG your request
have examined a letter which you sent
me, purporting to have been written by
one Seiah Merrill, and who reflects very
severely upon Rev A. Ben-Oliel and his
missionary work at Jerusalem. 1 have
also looked over. the correspondence which
you have had with various parties in
reference to Mr.. Ben Oliel, and the docu-
mentary evidence which you submitted
to me. Besides this. wrote to aEgentle-
man in Scotland with VIII ON am we'll
acquainted giving him the names of per-
sons in Glasgow and other places who
had been in Jerusalem and knew Mr..
Ben-Oliel personally, asking him to send
me whatever report they gave. whether
1t was favorable or unfavorable
Under date of Jan. 3, 1895, he writes
me: 1.-The Glasgow people said they
have confidence in him and his family,
and Thought highly of The efforts being
made by the daughter Florence, to present
the cause of mission work in Jerusalem
to the Americans. The evidence you
have shown me, and especially my own
Independent Investigations, are, in my
judgment, a complete refutation of the
charges contained in the letter.
Very truly yours,
THOMAS J. EMERY.

The Emperor Napoleon Ill By Pierre
de Lano. Translated from the French by
Helen Hunt johnson. New York: Dodd,
Mead & Co. 1895. 1t is to be supposed
evidence wanting to the contrary that
Pierre de Lano is what he purports to be
the teller of IAN ever true tale" But
he certainly resembles that clever eng
lishman in Paris'' whose delightful re-
miniscences charmed and thrilled us,
until we had learned that, like Mrs.
Harris, "there amt no SIGH person"-or
rather thai he was quite other than he
seemed. This lively book is in the same
style as that which we find in those very
personal, but certainly very entertaining
sketches in the Century Magazine, "Life
in the Tuileries under the second EN-
pire." Assuredly the divinity that doth
hedge king is getting SO reduced in size
as, in some instances to be hardly dis
cernable. Napoleon III was perhaps
never much Of a divinity, but very full
light indeed is here poured in upon him
and still more is the poor Empress
stripped of much of the romance that
once enveloped her. We behold her
through these by no means roseate spec
tacles a tactless, quarrelsome woman,
who "harassed the Emperor with COM
plants and reproaches, which wearied
him and drove him more than ever from
his home. Napoleon himself is a sphinx,
an unanswered riddle; he will remain TO
history the living synthesis of a subtle
philosophy" There are lively pictures
of many of the striking figures of the
period. Prince Napoleon, Empress Char

A Sherburne Romance. By Amanda
M. Douglas, author of the jSherburne
Series New York: Dodd, Mead & Co.
From the Publishers. Miss Douglas is
one of those fortunate writer's for young
people whose intimate sympathy with,
and understanding of their little world
always win for them a loyal affection and
admiration. When she wrote the first
story of the Sherburne Series she had no
idea of making SERIES but one after
another these books have been drawn
from her by her juvenile correspondents
until they have reached the present num-
Der. A curious circumstance connected
with the letters which her previous book
elected, is that several Of them pleaded
that LyDdell Sherburne, the heroine,
should have love story and Give happy
ever after" That is what the author has
now done, and LyndelPs romance is sure
to give great pleasure and satisfaction to
her numerous admirers

treasury his report Of the results OF the
investigation recently made by him in per-
son OF the allegation that Japanese were
being imported into this country under

tract labor law. The commissioner gen

at which Japanese enter the United
States on the Pacific coast and after "A

the Japanese government 20 encourage
emigration. and that japan requires each
person leaving the country to be supplied
with a passport. which is only issued 10
those having ample means Of reaching
their destination. The census OF 1880
