Since then the west ern mines, particularly those of Ali zona, have been offering the most flat terlng inducements to skilled work men, with the result that there is a smaller percentage of English and Irish miners here today than at any time since the discovery of the red metal along tho shores of Lake Supe- riUr.7

MEETING IN NEW YORK.
Protests Against Massacre Of Hebrews
at kishinef.

at NiSnlne7.
New York, May 28.-There was a
great and representative gathering at
Carnegie hall at night, called to pro-
test against the massacre of Hebrews
at Kishinef. The announcement that
Former President Grover Cleveland
would speak lent additional interest
to the gathering. While Mayor Low
was delivering the opening address,
expressive of the hope that Russia
would give more liberty to her Jewish
subjects, Mr.. Cleveland entered and
was greeted with a tumult Of cheers.
Resolutions were read which de-
nounced the massacre, urged the
claims of the Jews in Russia to lust
treatment and protection, and de-
clared that the people of the United
States should exercise such influence
with the government of Russia as the
ancient u%nbroken friendship between
the two nations may justify, to stay
the spirit of persecution, to redress
the injuries inflicted upon the Jews
OF kishinef, n to prevent the re-
currence of outbreaks such as have
amazed the civilized world"
Mr.. Cleveland made an extended
address in which he denounced the
brutal conduct of the Russians at
k1shinef, but said that we ought not
to urge our government to make too
strong a protest, as we have found it
lmpossib1 to prevent mob violence
and murderous assaults in Wyoming
and in Louisiana.

the Mississippi are rising rapidly. The

river In twenty-four hours.
At La Crosse the Back river is high

it's banks, doing much damage to low
lands. Along the La Crosse river
houses, barns and all property in the
loWlands are under water. Occupants
OF houses near the river are packing
their furniture and preparing for a
hasty flight.
The greatest sufferers are the rail-
roads,. Washouts are reported from
various points. All creeks are swol-

bridges are in danger. The Burling-
ton track is washed out south of La
Crosse and Burlington trains are
using the Milwaukee track to the
