SECRET CIRCULAR ISSUED.
Russia Trying to Find Out About Laws
Auainst Jews.

London, Nov. 2I.-According to a cor
respondent Of the London Times, a secret
circular has been issued by the Russian
ministry of the interior TO the governors
Of provinces and other authorities. order
ing them to report upon the difficulties
they have encountered in enforcing laws
relating to the Jews. The circular states
that many of these laws are Anticipated,
inconsistent, and vague. The result is
that the Interpretation Of them is not
uniform in the different courts, or even
in one and the same court The Senate
itself. which is the supreme court Of APP
peal, has given contradictory inteTpreta-
tions of these laws at different times.
Consequently the government finds it
necessary to revise the laws to some
extent in order 10 make them more con-
sistent. The real Specification of this cir
cular, according to the correspondent, is
that treatment Of the Jews by the peo-
vinciaI governors has been in many cases
more severe than is warranted by law,
and in a few cases where an appeal has
been made to the senate the action OF
the governors has been declared Illegal,
thus weakening their authority. The OBJ
ject of the proposed revision. it is be-
lieved, is to make the law more in ac-
cordance with what has been the actual
practice of the governors, and thus to
diminish the chances of a successful APP
peal to the senate

hold was never full of water, no fires

kind was done to the machinery The
weight OF the blow was chiefly felt at
the aft submerged torpedo-fiat; but
above this the bread store and above this
again the plates in the gun room were
slightly opened while all the cabins on
the same deck as the torpedo-iat were
swamped. The hole made in the side OF
the torpedo-1at was of the same dimen-
sions as the ram of the Hannibal, and
the rent extended in diminishing width
up to the gun-room. There are two
drains in the submerged torpedo-fiat, and
an effort was made by means of these
drains to pump the water from the fiat
into the engine room. where there was
sufficient pumping power to eject 5000
tons of water an hour. This attempt
failed. however, and it was, therefore, de-
terrnined to shut off the drains and keep
the torpedo fat full of water. Meanwhile,
the watertight doors were closed and
shored up to give them additional
strength. The Prince George then pro
ceded under her own steam tod Fcrrol
harbor. where Lord Charles Beresford
superintendent the work of salvage. In
entering the harbor she went through the
tortuous passage where the Howe went
aground some years ago. Both Lord
Charles BeresfOrd and the officers of the
ship fully recognized the gravity of the
accident, and precautions were taken to
meet the worst that might befall. As
soon as the ship was anchored the ships
divers were sent down to plank up the
hole from the outside. The ship was
struck early in the morning of Sunday

FLOATING ICE DOTHERS DOATMEH
Mouth Of the christiana Becomes
Choked With Large Cakes
Every Day.

There is so much floating ice in the
Delaware river that the ice in the
Christiana cannot get out. Every
time the tide goes out, the mouth of the
creek is choked by the ice coming in
contact with that i'm the river, and
when the tide reverses il is floated
back into the creek. Rivermen think
there will be ice floating in local waters
until far in the spring, as the ice melts
slowly, and is of unusual thickness.
Navigation is almost as dangerous now
as at any time during the winter, and
only the staunchest craft ventures out
side. Even the tugs experience consid-
cradle difficulty in getting along in the
river and the steamer BrandyWine is
delayed every day.
