SULTAN AND THE JEWS.

Old Law Prohibiting Them Remain
ing I'm Palestine.
Consantlnope, October 1.--Seriously
alarmed by the recent Zionist congress at
Basic, and by the enthusiasm and atten-
tion which its project of converting Pales-
tine into a wholly Jewish State has been
received throughout the civilized world,
Sultan Abdul Hamid has just recalled into
vigor the almost forgotten and nearly OBJ
solete law which prohibits Jews from.
staying at Jerusalem for the space of more
than thirty days at time. Several years
ago, when English influepce at Constanti-
nopie was greater than II is today, the
BRITISH government managed to secure
from the sublime porte an extension of this
period to ninety days. and in course of
time the regulations on the subject came
to be entirely forgotten, so seldom was
any effort made to enforce them
Now, however. they have suddenly been
called into force, and the period has been
restricted once more to thirty days, while
the Turkish officials in Palestine have re.
celved Imperative orders from the porte ia
be very strict about the matter.
The sultan makes no secret OF the fact
that he views with extreme displeasure the
Idea OF Palestine becoming I'm exclusively
Jewish province, all the more as the ma.
)orlty OF the Jews already there and who
propose to settle there In the future will
naturally decline to accord him their al
legiance, and will insist upon retaining, fol-
the sake Of protection against his Tyranny
he citizenship of the countries in which
they have until now resided. This the sui.
tan has no intention OF tolerating, and the
revival OF this old law is merely a frs
step on his part toward al determined op.
position to the Zicnist movement. which
Is likewise fyowncd upon by the pope.

Chicago, October danger Of a tle-up
OF the lines of the City Railway company
is not over yet. mass meeting of street
car employees was held early today and
resolutions unanimously adopted indorsing
the organization of local branch of the
Amalgamated Association OF Street Rail-
way Employees CT America.
The most important action taken, how
ever was giving power to the executive
committee of the organization to order a
strlke without notice to the company.
AT the suggestion of Il. V. Debs the aid
OF court injunetlons will probably be in
voked by the union. The president OF the
Social Democracy declares the first OPP
portunity has come for labor to use the
restraining order which has been the
weapon of capital In the past. Interference
WITH the formation or maintenance OF
unions by employees is forbidden by the
Illinois statutes and II is proposed TO make
legal test with the street car company.
