WHAT ROUMANIA HAS DONE
Has Stopped Issuing Passports to the
Jews.

Washington, Sept. 26.-The report that
the government of Roumania has dis
continued the issuance of passports to
Jews intending to emigrate to America.
though not officially confirmed. Is re-
garded by the Washington authorities
as an immediate and direct recognition
by Roumania of the accuracy of the
statements made by Secretary Hay in
the note respecting the evils of this
Jewish immigration and the underlying
causes The reported suspension OF emf
grafton would be regarded as removing
the only direct issue between the United
States and Roumania, and while we
may continue to have a deep concern
in the betterment of the condition of
the Roumanian Jews the United States
government must for the time rest con-
tent with what it has done In the issue
of the identical note to the powers.
AS to the effect upon the Jews them
selves of the suspension of the right to
emigrate to America, the opinion ex-
pressed here is that the order will ac-
centuate the evils from which the Jews
are suffering at present and the fact, in
the end, by attracting the attention OF
the powers and exciting the humane
sentiments of civilization. will force an
amelioration Of the condition of the
Jews.

Prominent Buddhist Charges

APPEAL TO AMERICANS

Has Already Written a Letter
to Joseph Chamberlain.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept 26.-Anagarika
II. Dharmapala. Buddhist representa-
tive in America. has just arrived in Los
Angeles from Ceylon. en- route to Lon
don. He has addressed the following
communication to the American people
through the Associated Press:
Il want to call your attention to a
subject which to q great degree is
che entire population of the civilized
world
II have been officially informed of
the outrageous action of the British Of
ficials in the historic island OF Ceylon
in threatening to desecrate the ancient
shrines in the sacred city of Anurad-
hapura which is to the Buddhists as
great as Mecca to the Mohammedans or
Jerusalem to the Christians.
This historic city for 1900 years
which on account of its hallowed asso-
Citations has received the homage of 500
millions of Buddhists of China. Japan,
Siam, Cambodia. Burmah. India. Tibet,
etc.. is now threatened with the de-
struction of its shrines at the hands of
the despotic British officials. who in
their madness wish to bring about a
catastrophe which will result in a re-
hgious convulsion throughout the entire
Buddhist world ali over Asia. I have
addressed a communication to Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain. the secretary of
state for the colonies. on the subject
and make this appeal to the American
people through the Associated Press
for their mora; support for the sup
preston of this atrocious act of van
dalic dia bolism.'
The letter to Mr.. Chamberlain referr-
ed to states that the Buddhists of Cey-
lon are greatly distressed at the high
handed course of British officials in the
city of Anuradhapura.
It says: THE Singhalese had never
been savages and they have loved ana
do love religion more than gold The
British, when they were called upon py
the Singhalese chiefs to administer the
government of the Kandyan provinces,
pledged to protect the religion of the
Euddha'
The sacred character of the threat
ened city is pointed out, and the letter
concludes as follows:
"Buddhists are not fanatics, neither
are they savages: but it is hoped that
country will instruct the subordinate
officials of Ceylon not to create unrest
in the minds of millions of Buddhists.
for religion is sacred. and any attempt
on the part of the British officials to
desecrate the shrines will be resented by
the Buddhists of the world
