ing a Christian child. The Jews stoutly
deny this claim: in fact, the Jews In this
country pronounce the claim as ludlcrous In
the extreme.
Yet the Russian peasants are induced to
the belief that the Jews have slain a Chris
tan child and the mobs that are gathered
are instructed to seek revenge for the muir
der of the innocents.
"The local governments in Russia have
been annoyed recently by labor troubles on
the part Of the peasants. and Doctor De
Vorkin, who has made a study OF the con-
ditions in the Cars country, dvances the
opinion that the recent riots were intended
70 detract the attention of the peasants
from these serious labor issues to one in
which the Russian Government has no con-
Germ.
THE scenes In Central Russia In 1881
will never be forgotten by those who wit
messed them" said Doctor De Vorkin.
1.-The Nihilists were then at the pinnacle
of their strength. The life OF the Gear
was constantly, threatened. Governors
and other high state officials were MUIR
dered by unknown persons, and there was
a constant state Of riot.
JEWS MADE A SCAPEGOAT.
Suddenly {. sentiment against the Jews
was created. It was during the Passover
season. The old cry of the murder Of an
Innocent Christian child was raised. Soon
the Jews were molested. Thousands of
them were manned and the police offered
no protection. The strength Of the Nihilists
weakened. The large majority OF the
peasants were ensrossed in the ATTACKS on
the Jews. That slaughter marked the de-
cline Of the nihilistic movement. and 1t
was practically eliminated.
"I believe that the Jews were made the
scapeeoat for the Russian Government that
time, and 1 believe that they are performs

cause OF labor and better wsses-nows

Whatever interests of America We're

Washington. May 1.-THE State Depart
ment feels that it can do no more than IT
has done in the cause of the oppressed
! Jews of Russia. 1t has not learned, official
". that a single one OF them IS an Amer
lean citizen, so 1t has no warrant for in
reference.
There is no parallel between cases of the
Jews in m and those in Russia. In
the first case 1t is said at the department
that the United States had a ground for
Intervention because the Roumanian Gov
ernment's action was injuring the United
States by dumping a horde of undesirable
immigrants upon her shores.
1t was not asserted that this result follows
the Russian act. which. moreover. 1t is
pointed out. is net official. ~
1t is precisely as IL Count Cassini should
present himself to Secretary Hay and in
the name of his Government protest against
reported lynchings Of negroes by mobs in
this country which probably would result
in a polite iutimation to: the Ambassador
that he was going beyond the limits Of his
proper business.
That is the state of the case officially.
but it may be added that the limitation
taken by the United States has served a
purpose to max known to the Russian
Government that the great moral influence
of the United States is directed toward
securing an amelioration of the conditions
Of the Jews IN Russia.

London. May l6.-With the approval of
the Russian censor and evidently officially
inspired. a dispatch was received here to-
day from st. Petersburg. in which It is
declared that various punishments have
been melted out to the majority of those
arrested for participation in the mas
sacre O; Jews.
Particulars. however. are very meager.
The dispatch was shown to members of
1sraelite Alliance here. who declared that
it is simply a move of Russian officials TO
blind the world to the real situation. Ac-
cording to private advices received from
Eishineff and Odessa. the officials have
moved slowly. when they have moved at
all. toward Furnishing the murderers and
pillagers of the Jews.
Punishment has been melted out to only
a few scapegoats. The officials have de-
c1ared. when urged TO act. that they would
punish persons who robbed the Jews unless
the property stolen was returned within
forty-eight hours. For the crimes of MUIR
der and rapine. and arson. and the maim-
ing OF men. women and children. there has
been no punishment.
No hint Is given of the nature of the
various p~unishments- referred to in the
dispatch. 1t says that nearly all OF thos,
arrested with Jewish loot declared that
they had found 1t in the street, and were
SOinS 10 take IL TO the ponce stations.
FEAR REPETITION.
Dispatches from Odessa, Kishineff and St.
Petersburg say that another massacre OF
the Jews Is expected between May is and
"A. Old Style. which would be about June
J, of the English calendar. There has be-
gun an almost general exodus Of the Jews.
Wealthy Hebrews are disposing of their
property for whatever they cen get.
Many have abandoned homes and BUSH
ness, rather than remain and face the ter
ribIe slaughter which is anticipated. The
exodus from Keiff was enforced, the Cover
ner of the Province having given the Jews
notice to leave within elk months.
Many have already taken their departure.
There is a Jewish population OF 5000 in
Keift and all are affected. The agitation
in that. city is so great that the Jews are
in dread of an immediate massacre.
Another dispatch which has been received
here says:
THE position of the Jews in Russia 4.

fined to the south. but now 1t has spread

BURNED THEIR VALUABLES.
Three days prior to the day set for the
destruction Of the city the Jewish inhab-
itants buried their money and jewelry and
all repaired to the Temple. They prayed
and tasted for three days.
On the day the mobs arrived the repre-
sentative Of the Jews waited upon the per-
son at the head Of the mob. and offered
him 5000 rubles II he woul spare the city.
This offer proved too tempting for the mob
commander. He accepted it. and the mob
left the city without harming a single
Jew. Over $1,000 Russian Jews were living
in Lutzk at that time.
Doctor De vorkin says the recent riots
will result In an Influx of Russian Jews to
the United States. In 1880 there were less
thar S0O.0 0O Jews in the United States. After
the riots OF 1881 over 10000 Jews emigratsd
to America. Over LOCO 200 left Russia. a
portion OF them locating In England. Aus
tralia and other countries.
In Russia there are now 100000 Jews. ac-
cording to the last Jewish year book. nearly
half Of the entire Jewish population OF the
world.
Determined steps toward rendering finan-
cial assistance Of the survivors of kishenen
and Tirospol will be taken by Hebrews in
st. Louis. A benefit entertainment will be
given within two weeks in Music Hall. The
Young Mems Hebrew Association Is also
planning a benefit.

COMING TO AMERICA.
ITO our brothers and sisters In America
we are looking for consolation and assist
ance. and the hope Of every Jew Is that he
will be able to leave Russia and travel to
the country where liberty reigns."H
The riots in Kishenef and Tirospol are
but a repetition. although on a much larger
scale. Of scenes that have been enacted IN
Russia ever since the Middle Ages.
Although not the apparent instigator Oh
these riots, the local governments IN rus
sia never offer a derense for the abused
Jews, and those in st. Louis VINO are ac-
quainted with conditions in the Cars do
main say hi the Jews are used as a scape-
goat, and that riots are promoted IN oroer
to detract the attention OF the populous
from issues of greater Importance to the
people.
In 1891 there were numerous riots in CEN
ira, and southern Russia. Jews were
slaughtered in countless numbers. At that
time the, Nihilistic movement was strong
in Russia. and 1t Is claimed that the bittel
sentiment was renewed against the Jews In
order to concentrate the attention Of the
peasants on a new subject. A detraction Of

LETTERS FROM SURVIVORS OF NsHENEFF
SHOW ENORMITY or OFFENSES COMMITTED.

Letters received from Kisheneff and Tiros-
pol, Russia, by member Of the Russian
Jewish Ghetto of st. Louis tell in detail
the story Of the murderous assaults upon
the Jews in those cities during the Easter
festivities. .
These letters nave been the means Of
creating much sympathy for the unfortunate
Jews in Southern Russia among their
brethren in st. Louis and among the poor

over N.0W has been raised. Some Of the
donations were made in amounts OF five and
ten pennies. but each member OF the Ghetto
contributed his mite.
The letters received from Russia are from
survivors. who are anxious to come to
America. 1t is estimated that within the
next month at least 10000 Russians. who
escaped in the riots in Kisheneff and Tiros-
pol. will come to America. Relatives in this
country will send them the money.

treated as cruelty as those Of the poorer

Of the Zion movement.
II has been claimed that assimilation
would nroye the salvation of the Jews, but
Doctor De vorkin says that In Russia this
theory has been shattered. The fact that
Jews intermarried with Gentiles secured
them no ~leniency from the mobs. and Jews
Of high and low degree were treated alike
