CITY EMPLOYEES LET OUT.
Mayor Of San Juan, p. r., Proposes to
Practice Economy.

San Juan. P. r., May 19.-Mayor
Robert w. Todd is continuing the
purifying process in municipal circles
by wholesale discharges of city en-
ployes. Last week he dismissed five
men because it was learned in the
case of four of them, all labOrers,
that they had served terms in prison.
The fifth refused to prove his capacity
to remain in the health department
by undergoing an examination. Mayor
Todd said during the day:
IL propose to reduce the city payroll
by cutting off twenty to twenty-five
names very soon. They can be spared,
and while | am alcalde l propose to
practice wise economy. Governor
Hunt has put me here to serve the
people and not the politicians and
shall do my duty"
The Republicans, who are in control
of municipal affairs. are displeased by
the attitude of Mayor Todd, who is a
Republican, and the Federals applaud
his Independent stand.

RUSSIANS DEEPLY HURT.
Criticism Of American Press on Man.

ST. Petersburg, May 19-The Rus.
sian officials express themselves as
being deeply hurt at the criticisms Of
the American press on the subject Of
Manchuria and say that. considering
the friendship extended forty years
ago when America needed friends,
America might at least inquire whether
the Anglo-Japanese news was not col
ored in AngloJapanese interests"
The Manchurian incident threatened
at one time to cause serious trouble
on the bourse. When the excitement
was at its height Finance Minister
Witte visited Foreign Minister Lams-
dorff and informed him that under
the influence of American representa-
tions, Japanese truculency and Ameri-
can newspaper attacks" in addition
to the Balkan troubles, the bourse
was dangerously weak. The finance
minister also declared that a contin-
uance Of the foreign attacks would
threaten Russia's credit.
There is widespread belief here
that M. Plancon. the Russian charge
d'affaires at Peking, represents the
Grand Duke Alexioff and the war
party.

Helena, Mont, May 19.-Range men

part of Montana and where there is
no snow there is rain. Not for years
have the ranges needed moisture so
badly as they have in this state for
the past three weeks, and now they
are getting it in just the form that
gives a guarantee OF grass and plenty
of it, With snow and rain has come

that later reports will show damage

to sheepmen who are just in the midst

PUBLIC MEETINGS PROHIBITED.
Proclamation Published in Russian
Province Of Saratoff.

st. Petersburg, May 19-All public
assemblages in the province of Sara

of heavy penalties. A proclamation OF
the governor has been posted in all
the towns and villages and has been
published in all the newspapers forbid
ding all public gatherings, warning
the people against interference with
the police while in the discharge of
their duties and ordering crowds
which may collect in contravention Of
this to disperse on first summons OF
the police. BY disobeying any provi-
sions of the proclamation any one is
liable 10 fine oi $3.50, or three

DEPARTMENT MAY PROTEST.
Treatment of Jews in Russia Will Result
in the Dumping of Hordes of Paupers
on American Shores.

Washington, May 19.-None Of the
many resolutions relative to the Kishi
neff outbreak adopted Sunday at var.
Gus places in the United States has
reached the state department and the
officials have nothing new before
them upon which to proceed. 1t is
not known whether further instruc
tions have been sent to our embassy
at st. Petersburg. So far the depart
ment has before it only newspaper
clippings describing the Kishneff
massacre and it scarcely feels author
ized to move upon that basis, even if
it had the power to do.so. Admitting
q desire to investigate in disregard Of
the formal assurance Of the Russian
government to Ambassador McCor.
mick, the department would probably
have to content itself with the sworn
statements of refugees from kishineff.
To procure information through the
American embassy or the American
consuls in Russia would probably rem.
der our diplomatic agents persona non
grata in case they should cast doubt
upon the official Russian statements.
Possible Ground for Action.
The recent eahlegram from st. Pc
tersburg might open the way for diplo-
matte action on the part of the Unit
ed States in this matter. That state
ment said the Russian government
had forbidden the Jews to arm or de-
fend themselves, with deliberate
purpose of forcing them to emigrate
to the United States, for nowhere in
Europe could they find refuge. Such
action would be similar to that taken
by the Roumanian government, on
which the state department laid down
the doctrine that the dumping Of
hordes Of emigrants likely to prove
paupers upon our shores was ObnOx-
ious to the United States.
In this connection 1t may be worth
noting that in spite of the vigorous
protest against Roumanias action
contained in the state department S
circular note to the powers the Rou-
manian government never admitted
or- right to interfere even on the

AS EXPLAINED By cAssiNi.
Reason for Anti-Jewish Sentiment in
Russia.

Washington, May 19.-Count Cas-
SIM, the Russian ambassador, in i
conversation with representative of
the Associated Press relative to the
jewish troubles in Russia, said:
There Is in Russia, as in Germany
and Austria, a feeling against certain
or the Jews. The reason for this un-
friendly attitude is found in the fact
that the Jews will not work in the
field or engage in agriculture They
prefer to be money lenders Give a
Jew a couple of dollars and he be-
comes a banker and money broker
In this capacity he takes advantage of
the Russian peasant, whom he soon
has in his power and ultimately de-
stroys. 1t is when the patience of the
peasant is exhausted that a conflict
between peasants and Jews occurs.
Ordinarily the Russian is a very pa.
tient person, but 1t is only natural
that he should entertain feeling of
resentment for the one who has
wrought his ruin.
Emperor Nicholas l. sought to help
the Jews by ordering the establish
ment of agricultural colonies in South.
ern Russia. hoping to induce the Jews
to engage in agricultural pursuits in.
stead of money lending, but the effort
was not successful; nor have other
projects establishing Jewish states
been successful.
THE situation in Russia, SO far as
the Jews are concerned, is this: 1t
is the peasant against the money lend
er and not the Russians against the
Jews. There is no feeling against the
Jew in Russia because of religion. 1t
is as | have said-the Jew ruins the
peasants. with the result that con.
flicts occur when the latter have lost
all their worldly possessions and have
nothing to live upon
