higher, and launch him as star in romantic
roles. The trial was made two seasons ago,

The American Hebrew congregations
in convention assembled, in view of the
active propaganda being made at pres
ent for the so-called zionistic move
ment, deem it proper and necessary to
put itself on record as follows: While
we are aware of and deplOre the abject
condition to which many of our breth-
rem are subjected to on foreign lands
and that have naturally, but unfortu-
nately aroused in some of them a
yearning for a establishment of Zion,
yet we delegates of the union are I'M
alterably opposed to political Zionism
The Jews are not nation, but re-
ligious community. Zion was precious
possession Of the past, the early home
of our faith, where our prophets ut
tered their Notwithstanding thoughts
and our Psalmists sang their world en-
trancing hymns.
"As such, it is holy memory, but it
is not a hope for the future. America is
our Zion. Here, in the home of religious
liberty we have aided in founding this
new Zion, the fruition of the beginning
laid in the old. The mission of judaism
is spiritual, not political Its aim is not
to establish a state, but to spread the
truths of religion and humanity
throughout the world.

! the American indemnity for the Phil

SPANS finances. It is too early TO pro
nounce on the effect of the treaty on
Spanish trade. 1t must be borne in
mind that the bulk of the trade of the
Philippines is in the hands of the Eng
gish, and if any one is going to lose in
trade by the war it is the English.
SPaniards almost unanimously feel

to English sympathy, and any loss
which the English trade may suffer by
the transfer of the Philippines is
j looked upon as just retribution.'
DR.. Regidor Jurado, who is chairman
Of the Spanish chamber of commerce
in London, in speaking Of the effects
OF the treaty of peace, said: Thirty
years ago the American interest in to-
, bacco and sugar-the two branches of
industry most concerned in the future
of the conquered islands-was greater

case in the Philippines.
Ten years ago Manila. sugar was in

sequently the trade became great. Since
then all the trade has gone into Eng

About $64000,000 yearly is the total
OF the English trade in the Philippines
and any loss through the transfer of
SPANS late possessions must fall on
England. Spanish trade Is mostly what
is known as Barcelona goods arti-
cles that correspond closely to Man
chester goods. In order to keep this
trade many English firms have estab-
lished houses in Barcelona. Already
these English merchants are taking
fright. The Liverpool chamber of com
merce has petitioned Lord Salisbury to
see that British interests are protected
by the treaty of peace. All that is at
present known is that Spain is going
to enjoy the same rights as America.

ON THE WRONG SIDE.
Socialists File Their Statement Of Receipts
and Disbursements.

The financial statement of the So
cialist-labor party. was filed with the
city clerk yesterday. The statement
shows that the movement locally has
received financial aid from cities and
towns throughout the state, and sew
eral individual contributions are noted
including one from Mrs. Martha Moore
Avery, whose recent attempt to address
the Marlboro strikers is still fresh in
the minds of the public.
But Notwithstanding the aid they
have received, the socialists are still
OH the wrong side of the ledger. The
report shows the total receipts to have
been $463.10, and the expenditures to
the time of filing, $404.31. The out.
standing liabilities, as given, amount
to S116.6S making the amount neces-
saw to balance the accounts $57S9.
