toned to Act by Jewish Societies.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-With the
double purpose of protecting the long
suffering Jews of the Balkan states
and Of averting the very present peril
Of the immigration into the United
States Of these paupers, untitled
through oppression to take up citizen
ship when they reach here and forced
to come to the United States, as prac-
tically the only asylum open to them,
Secretary Hay has adopted the un'
usual course Of appealing to the pow
ers of Europe to force one Of their
children to observe the obligations
of humanity in case Of the Jews. The
appeal takes the form Of state pa
per, remarkable in several respects,
which has been dispatched in identi'
cal form to every ambassador and
minister Of the United States resid'
ing in. one Of the countries of Europe
which were parties to the famous
treaty at Berlin Of 1878, namely
Great Britain, France, Germany, Rus
sia, Italy, Austria and Turkey, mark
ing the termination of the Turko-Rus
sian war and the creation by the al
rect act of the powers of the inde
pendent Balkan states.
Because the powers are thus re
sponsible for the existence of Rou
mania, the culprit in the case, ths
secretary of state has directed the
note to them in the hope that they
will bring this government to sense
of it's duties towards civilization at
large, as we'll as to cause it to amel
iorate the frightful condition Of the
Roumanian Jews. In a measure this
action by the department Of state
may be traced to numerous petitions
from Jewish societies and humani'
tarians generally, as we'll as to the
warnings of publicists, respecting the
growing dangers Of Immigration OF
degenerates.

BOXERS BESEIGE.
cHENG-TU-FU SURROUNDED BY
THEM.
II Converts KiIIed-conger Presents
Letter of Missionary Canright
to Chinese Foreign Office.

Pekin, Sept. 1S.-United States Min
lister Conger has presented to the
Chinese foreign office a letter from
DR.. Canright, the American mission
ary of Cheng-Tu-Fu, describing the
massacre of native Christians there
in July. Dr. Canright says that II
converts were killed by Boxers and
that the local officials refused to take
measures against the Boxers. The
letter was written Aug. 2. The mis-
sionaries were then guarded by troops
and were unable to leave the mission
buildings except when escorted by
soldiers.
Dr. Canright's recent kilograms say
the situation is worse. The native
papers declared the trouble is due to
the collection OF excessive indemni-
ties for Christians on account Of
troubles Of 1900 and owing to the
Christians arrogant attitude under
foreign protection.
London, Sept 1S.-Cabling from
Shanghai, under date Of Sept. II, the
correspondent Of the Daily Mail says
that Cheng-Tu-Fu, capital of the prov
ince Of Sze-Chuen, is surrounded by
$4,000 Boxers, but that their attempts
to take the city have so far failed.
Without immediate help, however,
Cheng-Tu-Fu must fall.
"a prominent Chinese merchant
tells me-" continues the Daily Mails
correspondent, that if Cheng-Tu-Fl
is taken, a rising in the provinces Is
inevitable. To further complicate
matters the feuds between Protestant
and Catholic converts are now worse
than at any previous stage, and mag
isterial jurisdiction, in various mat
ters, has been unwarrantably inter
fered with by priests and mission
aries"

Such Report Received In
Chicago.

Chicago, Sept. -o.-Word was re-
ceived last night in Chicago from

mines in the heart of the disturbed
district in Pennsylvania is about to
give in to the strikers and that other

pie of the leader. G. F. Ferguson,
private secretary to Mr.. Weaver, re-
ceived a long telegram from Buffalo,
stating the case, and the announce
ment was authorized by Mr.. Weaver
through Mr. Ferguson in Chicago.
"The big mine which Mr.. Weaver
refers to-" said Mr.. Ferguson, will
be in operation within week. The
owners Of the mine, which is one OF
the largest in the affected district,
realize that the settlement which is
bound to come cannot be put off any
longer, as the big strike has now
come to a crisis, and affairs have got.
ten to such serious point, the effects
are so widespread and dire, that the
settlement must come promptly. Mr..
Weaver was assured that the mine
would be working again within
week.
"Of course, the other mines will
follow the example promptly and the
public can look forward to settle
ment of all of the difficulties within
a short time"
