Roumania Is one of the Balkan
states. carved out OF Turkish terri
tory at the conclusion of the Turkish
Russian war by the treaty OF Berlin
Of 1873. One Of the express provi
sions Of that treaty stipulated that in
Roumania there should be religious
liberty and no distinctions because
of creed, whether in natives or for
eigners.
In contravention of this stipulation,
Roumania has Disseminated against
the Jews so that the professions are
closed to them, they can neither hold
nor till the land and cnly few ave-
nues Of labor are open to them The
result has been that they have been
ground down to oppressive poverty
from which they have tried to fee to

moral and physical degradation as. a
result Of this oppression, the United
States objects to this enforced Inn

Explanation by Shaw.

Washington. Sept. 17.-Secretary
Shaw said today, in commenting fur
\ ther upon Speaker Hendersun's de
clination of denomination, that
while he refrained either from criti
cising or justlfyina the speakers
course, he considered it Of very great
Importance and due to General Hen.
derson that his position be not mis-.
understood. Secretary Shaw said:
Either many newspapers misun-
derstand General Henderson's posi-
tion or do. I understand him to
stand pat on the tariff plank Of the
Iowa platform, which favors reyi-
sions as changed conditions make ad-
visable. In his address to the repub-
lican voters of the Third Iowa dis
trict he says:
"sWhile have been against a gen.
eral revision, ! have never been op-
posed to making needed changes, and
am not now.
"Nor do understand him to eb-
ject to the antitrust plank, which is
in a different section of the state
platform and which declares against
allowing the tariff to become shelter
for the trusts. 1t goes no further
than intiGating that such a thing may
occur. 1t does not say such thing
does exist. Commenting on this
plank in his address, the general says:
1t is bold declaration that if
notifications of the tariff are re-
quired to prevent monopoly from
sheltering itself under the wings of
protection, then the tariff shall be
modified to prevent that condition
"As I understand him, he finds him
self unable to agree with the inter-
probation placed upon this plank by
many of his constituents and friends.
To what point, if any, the republi-
cans of Iowa are advocating a re-
moval of the tariff on trust-made or
controlled goods as remerial meas
ure, I am unable to speak, l think
General Henderson's friends ought to
see to it that his position be correct
ly interpreted to the people, and that
he be not placed in the false light of
having declined to- be candidate for
congress because of the language of
the Iowa platform that such changes
be made in the tariff from time to-
time as become advisable through the
progress of our industries and their
changing relations to the commerce CT

New York Republicans Want Raids
on Treasury Stopped.
New York, Sept. 1.-THE republi-
can party of the state of New York,
it was learned today, is to take the
initiative step this year toward regu-
lating the pension question. 1t is stat
ed that the pension plank to be sub
mitted to the republican state con-
vention at Saratoga is to be careful
ly considered. 1t is proposed to sub
nit plank which will in effect call
for legislation at Washington which
shall protect the United States treas
ury and prevent the eleventh cousins
and other equally distant relatives
from deriving revenue from the
government which they don't deserve
and which they cannot in any way
call upon the American people to pay.

living in the Paint Creek valley are
alarmed over the appearance OF
smoke and sulphurous gases from
Copperas mountain, which can be seen
from this place. Ever since the first

issued from the mountain at intervals.
Within the. past few days the smoke
and gas have become especially no.

the slate in the mountain has become
hot and some of it has become a, dull

smoke comes from the side and not
from the top Of the mountain. Sci

A FORECAST OF REPRESENTA-.
TIVE LlTTLEFIELD's BILL.
AS APPROVED BY PREESIDNT
Maine Man Thinks He Has Solved
Great Prob'em-Measure
in 9rief.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 1.-THE Ad.
vertiser gives an authoritative fore.
cast of the Littlefield antitrust bill,
which has been Endorsed by President
Roosevelt and will be introduced in
the house early next session.
70 get around the constitutional
provision that no man can be con.
victed on his own enforced testimony
it is provided that in all proceedings
no person shall be excused from testi-
flying or from producing documents
before the courts of the United States
on the ground that the testimony re-
quired may tend to criminate him or
subject him to a penalty or forfeiture,
but no person shall be subjected to
any penalty on account of any trans
action concerning which he may pro
duce evidence.
In other words, IL men like Morgan
and Vanderbilt should be engaged in
railway deal which secretly embod-
les some agreement Of a, trust char.
acter, any complainant who suffers
from this agreement can bring these
kings of finance into court and make
one of them testify against the other,
make him turn states evidence
against his own will.
The man who sues a trust and has
the facts behind him that will prove
that he has suffered damages from the
operation of any company which
works in restraint Ct interstate trade
or commerce is:
First-To receive three times the
actual amount of damage suffered.
Second-To have. all his lawyers
fees paid by the trust.
Third-To have the trust pay all
other expenses of the suit includ-
ing the court costs.
Any man who has a good case
against the trusts can go to the best
lawyer in the United States and can
summon witnesses from anywhere
within the jurisdiction of the federal
court, with the certainty that the
trust, and not he, is to meet all the
enormous expenses incurred. He will
know also that he can summon the
trust officials themselves on the wit.
ness stand and prove his own case
by the testimony of some man who
knows all the facts.
But the antitrust bill will go fur
ther than that and will attempt to
hold shield over any spectulator
who goes into the stock market and
buys trust securities. All corpora
tions engaged in interstate commerce,
not merely the big concerns like the
trusts, but practically every business
concern which fills orders outside of

WONDERFUL PROGRESS.
s.cretnry Wilson Comments on the
Growth OF Agriculture Daring
Recent Years.

Washington, Dec. Sin the-indus-
trial progress made by the United
States during recent years there has
been no more conspicuous feature
than the growth of agriculture" says
Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson
In his annual report to the president,
made public Thursday. He gives fig
ures, mainly taken from tho last cen
sus, TO prove his statement.
The amount of fixed capital invested
In agriculture is about $20,00o,ooo, 900,
or four times the amountNnvested in
manufactures. More than half of the
people of the United States live on
farms, and more than third of all the
people engaged in neutrality-suspicious.
work on farms. In one year the prod
ucts OF American farms have reached
an aggregate value of nearly $1,000
100000.
One method of aiding the farmers
which the secretary is most anxious
to avail himself of is the distribution
Of daily weather forecasts through all
the rural free delivery postal routes.
or the 10000 routes the department
has been able TO send forecasts over
1000. but the service has been so APP
preciated that an appropriation Of
$lO0, 900 is asked TO extend it.
One of the recommendations OF the
report favors an Appalachian forest
reserve. Mr.. Wilson makes the start
ling statement that the denudation OF
the mountain slopes has caused floods
that for the IL months ending April
last caused damage of S1s,00o,0O0.
He says further that water power with
an aggregate annual rental of $50, 00O,-
900 is being destroyed, THAT the land onI
the mountain slopes is being washed
away more in a single year now than
in ten centuries while the forests stood,
and that the soil swept down is clog
cling the Ohio, Tennessee and Missis-
sippi rivers in way that will be most
injurious TO navigation. He earnestly
urges the creation and preservation of
forests on the mountains.
