JEW QUESTION IS
 DIFFICULT TASK
SECRETARY HAY RECEIVING NU- MERoUS RESOLUTIONS FROM MEETINGS HELD THROUGHOUT. U. S. REGARDING MASSACRE.

Washington, May 19-Some of the reso- lutions adopted last Sunday by various mass meetings and organizations respect ing the Kishineff massacre have reached Secretary Hay today.
 They will receive careful consideration and it may be that some way may be found, although it is not clear, that some of the substance of these resolutions can be communicated to the Russian gov ernment as an evidence of the feeling aroused in the United States.
 It Is both a difficult and delicate task to approach a nation and especially one so autocratic as Russia on the subject of international administration where 1t is not alleged that direct interests of the complainant are involved
 Nations reserve for themselves in such cases the right to absolutely refuse to receive from another a communication in the nature of a criticism, and no matter how desirous the state department might be of mitigating the lot of the Jews in Bessarabia, 1t could not afford to run the risk of receiving a severe snub. But it can be said that the department is in close touch with its agents in Russia and is resolved to lose no opportunity to remind the Russian government when 1t can preparedly do so of the strong sym pathetic interest the people of the United States feel in the welfare of the Jews.

COAL CASE TAKEN UP.
Complaint Against Pennsylvania RalI.
 road Company Being Heard.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 19.-The complaint against the Pennsylvania Railroad com pany, involving the alleged failure of the railroad to furnish cars for coal shipments when other shippers were receiving cars was taken up by Hon. J. c. Clement of the interstate commerce commission to- day.
 The complainant Is engaged in mining coal at Irwin and Penn stations and ships to various states. It is alleged that the complainant at divers times notified the railroad company to furnish the cars needed, but that the cars were not pro- vided, but at the same time cars were being furnished to competitors.
 In it's answer the Pennsylvania railroad alleges that the plaintiff is not regularly engaged in mining coal, but is a druggist
 During the anthracite coal strike last year, 1t alleges the plaintiff and others purchased the right from farmers to dig coal and after hauling 1t to some siding of the company, loaded by hand from the wagons into the car
 At first it is claimed, the railroad granted requests for cars for such ser vice, but later refused to furnish the cars. It denies, however, that 1t fur nished cars to competitors of the plain- tiff similarly situated.
 The case is the first to bring up the point of a railroads right to stlpulate just how material shall be loaded.

Ceylon. of eleven war vessels of friendly power. ana said that if that power had become hostile Colombo would have been absolutely at the squadron's mercy. Thc speaker ad- vocated increasing the Qualifications If coaling stations, pending which restric- tions should be enforced.
 Lord Selbourne first lord of the admir- alty, replying, said no restrictions exist ed. No power forbade the presence of British war vessels in It's ports. Ac- cording to his view, a friendly power should be very accommodating; but if any obstacles was placed in the way of British ships visiting foreign ports. the whole matter should be reconsidered. He had no reason to fear eventualities under the present principle of international hos pitality.

BAPTIST WOMEN OPPOSE
 SEATING OF REED SHOOT
Resolution Also Adopted Declaring That Feeling Against Negroes Manifested by Many White People is Unchrlstian and
 Not Justified by the Finding of Missionaries

relating to the consolidation of the va rious Baptist organizations was referred to by the committee on resolutions as fol- lows:
 Your committee Is of the opinion that the board of directors acted wisely in unanimously rejecting any plan for con- solidation that fails to adequately recog- nize and provide for the work of our so- ciety. The committee of ten appointed at St. Paul last year to consider the ques- tion of consolidating the missionary or ganization reported this evening.
 Generalization was deemed unwise."
 The committee recommended systematic cooperation and the appointment of a committee of nine which shall consider and settle all questions of difference aris- ing between the three bodies. The dele- gates unanimously approved the report and the three societies will undoubtedly take the same action, thus finally set- ting a problem that has agitated the church for years.
 All the officers of the society were re- elected.

Engineering as a Life Work.

1t is a striking fact that gradu-
ates OF engineering schools have
positions as soon as they graduate,
while graduates in many other pro-
fessions ego begging" for months
before finding a position.
In June of this year twenty-four
men graduated from the University
of Missouri at Columbia and at
once secured positions. In fact
the demand was not supplied by
the graduates and many under
graduates were able to secure en-
ployment.
The expenses of learning engi-
neering are not great. Atthe school
which we have just mentioned,
board, room, books and fees vary
from $3.50 to 5000 per year. This
is in many respects as good an
engineering school as there is in
the United States and may be
taken as typical of the cost of an
engineering education.
The boy who has the knack for
mathematics and is willing to work
can do well in engineering.
Remember we are still closing
out our stock of dry goods and
shoes. H. Farmhouse.
