zioNIsTs AT eAsLE.

Basic, Aug. 22.-Representative
Jews Of the United States, Great Brit
ain, Germany, France, Austria and
others countries have gathered here
for the sixth Zionist congress, which
is to begin its sessions tomorrow. The
congress this year promises to be
the most important ever held in view
of the late Kishinen .outrages and the
political situation in Eastern Europe.
There seems excellent reason for be-
lieving that the Zionist leaders are
preparing to take full advantage OF
the situation developed through the
Macedonian uprising.
One of the principal discussions OF
the congress will be the colonization
of province of WadeI-Ausch in Pal.
estine. It is pretectorate OF Greaz
Britain, where 1t is proposed to settle
100000 Jews. Negotiations have al.
ready been opened with the British
government.
