War Department Changes Also Figure
in Discussion at the Cabinet
Meeting.

The vital difference between popular
sympathy and official limitations was
emphasized when the subject of the
Kishinev disturbances came up before
the President and Cabinet yesterday.
and, though fully appreciating the gen
eral public desire that this country
should do something to aid the Jews.
who are reported to have suffered hor-
rors there, the Cabinet practically de-
cided that the United States cannot in
terfcre in any way in seeking to secure
redress for subjects OF another nation
involved in disturbances such as the
Kishinev massacre, since no basis can
be found for justifabie diplomatic rep
resentations

members of the Cabinet, and such a
course is not under consideration 1t is
believed probable, however, that the
President may have some informal con-
versations with the Russian ambassador.

companying the President on the trip
through Iowa, remained in his home

his eldest daughter at Cornell College.
The majority of the members concluded
their participation in the meeting at
1880 O'Clock. and headed by Secretary
Hay. returned TO their respective de-
partments.
Secretary Root remained to talk with
the President regarding the selection OF
two officers from the army at large for
service on the general staff as provided
by the statute The choice lies, 1t is
believed, between Adjt Gen H. c. Cor

Adjutant Generals Department, for. ono
of the places. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss
is believed to be slated for the other.
The selection of General Bliss Is re-
