Measure Deemed PernfcfOus by the
Senate-$05O,OO 900 of Appropriations.
Tallahassee, Fla, May 21.-The Sem
ate to-day killed a bill which Senator
Blount termed the most dangerous and
vicious measure introduced during the
present session.
The bill passed the House several
days ago. 1t was very innocent af-
fair, if one judged by the title. which
was simply an act declaring that GER
tain facts constitute a fraud. Its most
Objectionable feature was that provid-
ing that any person who failed to live
up TO certain contracts should be i'm
prisoned. A man going to a store and
purchasing a bill of goods and promis-
ing to pay for same at a certain Time
and failing to do 50, would, under the
law, have been guilty of a fraud and
liable to Imprisonment until the bill is
paid.
Senator Blount showed the measure
up in it's true light. and 1t was killed
when the final test came.
The appropriate of the present
session of the Legislature, up to this
time, according to a statement by Sen
ator McWilliams, amount to over
$650000. This statement was brought
out by the effort to pass a measure APP
propriating the Indian War Claims
funds TO the payment of the states
bonded indebtedness. A great portion
of this amount is for the public schools,
Confederate veterans, state militia and
legislative expenses.

MASSACRE OF JEWS
THE LETTER OF A SURVIVOR
TELLS THE STORY.
TO HIS BROTHER IN ATLANTA
ABRAHAM WHITMAN OF KIsCHI-
NEFF WROTE.

Weitmann Wrote Four Days Aftew

Over 100 Jews Were slnin-He and
His Wife Escaped by Hiding in a
CelInr-Says KischlneR Is Desc
late and Asks for Aid to Reach
America and It's Religious ToIer-
nnce-His Uncle and Aunt Killed.
Hebrew resident of Atlanta, to-day re-
ceived a letter from his brother, Abra-
ham Weitmann, dated Kischineff, in
which the writer tells of the recent
massacres and relates the murder of
their uncle and aunt. A translation of
the letter follows:
Il am not able to write much, be-
cause / am so excited, as the massa-
ere occurred only four days ago, in
which our Uncle Tche Qsaac) and Aunt
Reeve (Rebecca) We're murdered with
over 100 other Russian Jews. If 1
wrote too much about it the govern
ment might get my letter and I would
be murdered.
1T was on Easter, April 10, that a
mob of two hundred started the massa-
ere. l and my wife hid three days in
a cellar without food or water. and
when we went back into our house we
found everything in it demolished.
Besides killing oven- 100 men. wom-
en- and children. the barbarians, who
call themselves Christians, broke up
everything they found In the houses.
"Kischineff is desolate. Please, for
Gods sake send me enough money for
my wife and me to go to your great
country, where a man can live in
peace and worship God as he chooses.
l know you win regret to hear that
our uncle and aunt were among the
victims. But for the cellar under our
house, and my wife would have also
been murdered"

Some of the Russians Want to Com

Berlin, May 21.-The singular state
of mind of the townspeople of Kishi-
neff, Bessarabia, while they were killing
the Jews there about a month ago, is
described in a letter from a non-Jewish
German of Odessa, received by the re-
lief committee here. He said:
THE leaders of the bands, on enter
ing Jewish dwellings, often addressed
the occupants good naturally, saying:
Poor brethren, we must kill you. 1t is
so ordered
"Monstrous things were not done I'M
til robbers began to participate and
when they with the Christian zealots
became intoxicated"
The state of terror of the Jews at
Kischeneff, the letter adds, continues.
A fresh massacre is expected there,
and the Jews of Odessa and of all the
large towns of Bessarabia are living in
hourly dread of death. The whole
province seems to be in a state of
fanatical fury against the Jews.
The writer of the letter then saws:
THE excitement is intensified
through proclamations distributed in
the streets, and the tone of the bitter
ly anti Semitic newspapers. The Rus
SLAMS say to their educated and toll
Grant countrymen, who urged keeping
the peace:
&" 1t is the Cars will that the Jews
be everywhere robbed. orders have
been given that we start again at PEN
tecost"

Philadelphia, May 21.-The last OBJ
stacle in the litigation between the
Pennsylvania Railroad and Western
Union Telegraph Company over the
poles and lines of the latter company
on the railroads right-of-way having
been removed by the United States Cir
cult Court to-day at Pittsburg which

the Pennsylvania Railroad issued an
order for the removal of the poles and
wires.
The order was issued in the forenoon,
and by nightfall many miles of wires
had been cut down.
Every section hand in this territory
was pressed into service to help in re-
moving the telegraph companys prop
erty. The wire, after being cut, was
coiled up and left lying along the rail-
road, with the poles, awaiting dispo-
sition by the Western Union Company
There are about $4,000 miles of wire
and about 10000 poles covering a ter
ritory of about 500 miles, belonging to
the Western Union, on the Pennsylva-
MAS right of way About half of this
is affected by President Cassatt's re-
moval order. 1t will take several days
to complete the work.

ANSWERS cASSINI.
EdeIman Says jews suffer Religious
Persecution.

Persecution.
Huntsville, Ala. May 21.-Dr. Louis
Edelman of this city, who has Travelled
extensively through Russia as a stu
dent and is thoroughly acquainted with
all conditions in that country, has adj
dressed letter to Count Cassini with
reference to his statement of the causes
leading up to the massacres. DIR. Edel-
man writes:
you, like the rest of the st. Petersburg
officials. are ignorant of what exists
in the interior of Russia.
1T is not hatred of the peasant to-
ward the Jew, but the persecution Of
the church against the Jew that is re-
sponslble for the atrocities committed
The instigator of the horrible murders
is the fanatical Pobiedonostzeff. who
is the Torqucmada of the Russian in
QUESTION. The ambition of this man
is to convert all the inhabitants of
Russia to the Greek Church, and his
wrath is not visited upon the Jews
alone, but upon Roman Catholics AMI
Protestants alike.
Fifty Cossacks upon their horses
rode into the Roman Catholic Church
at Kross, a town in the government oe
Kovno, and slaughtered the peasants
while kneeling at the altar. What can
parallel the persecution and suffering
endured by the Protestants of Finland
and Courland at the hands of the
church? The underlying cause of all
this persecution, murder and pillage, is
that the Russian church wants the
Jew to become a Greek Catholic"
