Want Russian Treaty Changed.

American Hebrews have not given up
their hope that some day this country may
induce Russia to change her treaty rela-
tions so as to admit American citizens of
the Hebrew faith to that country without
their passports having to be signed by the
Russian amba ssador. This discrimination
against the Hebrews is resented, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt had the matter brought to
his attention this morning by a delegation
OF New York representatives, accompanied
by Simon Wolf. The delegation consisted
of Representatives Sulzer, Ryan. Goldfogle
and Wilson, and they told the President
that the Russian discrimination ought to
be remedied by negotiations with Russia
that would change existing treaty relations
The President said he would take the mat
ter up with Secretary Hay at luncheon this
afternoon.
The President had a distinguished list of
guests at luncheon. These included Secre-
tary Hay, Attorney General Knox, Post

The review Of the East Indian troops to-
day was largely a repetition of yesterdays

forms Of representative corps from all parts
Of Hindustan formed an altogether more
picturesque spectacle. Queen Alexandra

with her on account of her recent anxiety
and its congratulations at the continued
good news regarding King Edwards cond-
ton The review procedure of yesterday
was followed. About 1900 dark-skinned

MARYLAND'S TROUBLE
sUBTREASURERsHIP TO BE SET
TIED TOMORROW.
MI. Burton Not Yet Satisied-A Con-
sulate for Col. MGKellip-South
Carolina Appointments.

There was another rush at the temporary
executive mansion today. Departing states
men and politicians want to wind up mat
ters having White House end before they
leave, and those who are going to remain
In washington for while want to wind
up similar matters before the President
leaves Washington tomorrow night for
Pittsburg, and from there goes to oyster
Bay for the summer To-day and tomorrow
are the only days left for seeing the Presi-
dent without taking jaunt to Oyster Bay.
The Maryland Subtreasurership.
1t is expected that the, Maryland fight
over the position of subtreasurer at Balti-
more will be settled tomorrow by the Presi-
dent. The latter told Representative Mudd
today that he would definitely inform him
tomorrow morning whether he would ap-
point Adrian Posey who has been recon-
mended by Mr.. Mudd. With Mr.. Mudd
when he called on the President today was
Representative Jackson who has worked
with Mr.. Mudd Throughout the fight IF
the PRESIDENT does not accept Mr.. Posey,"
said Mr.. Mudd, then I will join Mr.. jack
son in recommending whoever he desires.
That man will be appointed. ! do not hesi
tate to say that Senator McComas Is fight
ing Mr.. Posey. as he has done in the cases
OF others whose names have laid before
the President
On the other hand it is said. that Senator
McComas is not hostile to Mr. Pcsey Sen
ator McComas saw. the President during
the morning and talked with him about the
appointment.
The belief prevails IN well-fnformed cir
cles that Mr.. Posey VIII not be accepted
and that Representatives jackson and
Mudd will recommend Abraham L. Dry
den. whose appointments .wotald be satis
factory to Senator McCemas fu every way.
This would apparently end the matter and
leave it in such shape that all concerned
could feel easy over the result.

payment. These fifas are now in The

oeed to collect.

will be taken regarding that of council
on Monday night in appropriating sal
aries for q less number of policemen
than have been elected.
The garment will probably be cut by

According to the resolution adopted
by council, there will be salaries for
only chief, lieutenant and three regu-
lar policemen.
Whereas, at the meeting of the Po-
lice Commission recently that body
elected chief, lieutenant and FIVE
men. This is two men too many, &C
cording to the edict of council.
The Police Board will probably have
another election this morning, and will
doubtless reduce the number of men.
Chief Wheeler and Lieutenant Cobb
will stand, quite likely, the election
being for three policemen. Just which
three will be chosen is matter of con.
lecture,
The curtailmept of salaries and re-
duct1on of the force will effect saving
