JEWS STATUS IN RUSSIA

There Because Of Religious
- Differences. a@
New York Sun Special servioe.

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, March 20.-Wililam E. Curtis in
a washington special to the Record Her
aid this morning, says: The Russian am
bassador has no information concerning
the recent edict Of the czar in regard to
freedom OF worship, but it is his impress
sion that it will apply to Jews as well
as to, Mol1ammedans, Roman Catholics and
protestants. The ambassador says that
the Jewish question in Russia cannot be
solved by a free worship edict It in
wolves too many complications, and con-
dit1ons differ so radically, in the various
provinces and cities that the same regu-
lations canont be applied to all.
The policy Of the government toward the
Jews Is based upon public prejudice It is
a church question. The Jews DENY the
Christ and reject the fundamental doc
trines Of what the Russian people believe
to be the true religion. Hence the priests
and fanatical believers in the orthodox
Greek church regard the Jew with abhor-
renee. This prejudice is seen through all
straits of the population. The confinement
OF the Jewish portion Of a community to
certain limits isa custom that has pre-
vailed from the Middle Ages. The ghetto
has been a feature Of every European city
since the beginning of civilization, and
although it is retained in Russia more
strictly than elsewhere at the present time
this fact is due to the conservatism and
lack OF progress Of the people rather than
to any modern causes.
The ambassador declines to discuss the
refusal Of his government to admit Jew
ish travellers from the United States The
prohibition. he. says, is due to good and
sufficient. reasons which have frequently
been explained to the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the United States when they
have attempted to secure modification.

Special to The Journal.
Deadwood, S. D., March 2O.-The stormy
period of March has arrived in the Hills,
and snow has been falling heavily for
twenty-four hours. 1t is foot deep on
the level In most places. A northerly
wind accompanies the storm, and, al
though 1t is not cold, the thermometer is
falling. The wind has been driving most
of the snow into immense drifts, and rail-
road blockades are expected. 1t is learned
by telephone from Rapid City that the
storm set in there with rain the first
Of the year. Rain fell for several hours
and then turned to snow, accompanied by
a gale binding In its fierceness.
At Belle Fourche the storm has been fu-
rious, but it is regarded as blessing.
Cattle on the range are In good condition
and strong, and as there has not been
any snow, they have been suffering with
thirst.
The losses among cattle and sheep in the
Black Hills country will be only nominal.
Men in from near the Missouri river west
of Chamberlain, and for large territory
east of the Cheyenne river, say the losses
among cattle there will reach 60 per cent
in many instances, particularly among the
young cattle that were brought in last
summer and fall.
There have also been heavy losses among
the cattlemen west of Sundance, Wyo
Along Inyan Kara creek and other
streams to the westward thousands have

Winnipeg, Man., March 20.-A farmer
who lives not far from Stony Mountain
and owns several hundred acres Of choice
Manitoba farm lands, had an experience
with a woman from Walhalla, N. D., yes
Jterday which is not apt to increase his
faith in the fidelity Of womankind.
J. The wealthy ruralist, who Is about 40
years Of age, was a bachelor and wanted
a wife. He had the means with which to
support the woman of his choice in a
manner that would tempt many an eligi-.
BILE homeseeker, and he found one who
was willing to negotiate with him. His
name is Hugh Mcdonald, and hers is Lii
liam Perry. Hugh came in from his farm
on Tuesday. Lillian arrived from her
North Dakota home on the same day, and
the two registered at the Brunswick.
They talked together about their worldly
possessions and the course of love, with
considerations attached, ran smoothly for
a few hours. .-.- 80. =. -.
Wednesday a clergyman was summoned
to the hotel and asked to perform mar
riage. ceremony. Lillian, who is q woman
of keen business sense, begged a few
moments with her betrothed before the
knot -tieing should come off. She ex-
pressed willingness to take from Nc
Donald's shoulders the responsibility of
ownership. Of all his lands, but the mag
unanimous Hugh would listen to no such
proposition. They argued for a little
while and would have argued much longer
had not Mcdonald become thoughtful for
the clergyman who was being delayed.
While the woman was yet in an argu-
incentive mood the clergyman began to2ask
the. prescribed questions, and these all be-
ing satisfactorily answered and no out
slider being present with any objections;
he pronounced the two man and wife.
The result was quite satisfactory to Hugh,
but Lillian was not so easily satisfied.
On the eastbound train which left shortly
after the ceremony, this land and husband
seeker from North Dakota was a. pas
senger. She may return some day to
brighten the rural home near Stony
Mountain, but Hugh will not admit that
he believes It.

THE MORGAN FIRM
Statement Of the Reasons That Influenced
aE Them on the Deal.


Them on the Deal.
E st. Louis March 20.-nOe Of the briefs
In the case to-day was prepared by
David Wilcox and signed by him and
Francis Lynde Stetson. It was presented
in behalf Of J. Pierpont Morgan, Robert
Bacon and Daniel 8. Lamont, the firm Of
~. P. Morgan & Co.
It went over the old grounds at length,
stating that the firm began buying North
#ern Pacific stock prior to May 7, 1901,
because it was aware that usually large
purchases Of the stock were in progress,
apparently in a single interest. The firm
was apprehensive that these purchases
were for the purpose Of securing control
of the Northern Pacific and managing it.
not for what the firm conceived to be the
best interest of the company, but for
some ulterior purpose.
In order to further the best interests Of
the company, and especially to aid in de-
veloping the business of the company and
the prosperity of the country which it
serves, the Northern Securities company
was organized. With the view Of pro-
tecting the Northern Pacific the defend
ants advised their friends to sell their
Northern Pacific stock to the new COM
Spany.
The brief then tells how the Oregon
Short Line holdings Of N. P. stock were
bought and how $3.50 share was paid
relief pleaded in the petition is
shat the ultimate effect Of these
transactions may be to diminish in
some degree competition between the
railway companies, and that they, there
fore, constitut a restraint Of inter
state commerce within the federal
statute known as the Sherman act (26
u. S. Statutes. 209) This Is not estab-
lished.
4. It is submitted that the action must
fail because the transactions were lawful,
land if the statute applied to them 1t would
sbe unconstitutional because. 1t would de-
sprive the Securities company Of the right
ITO purchase property and the stockholders
Sof the railway companies of the right both
Ito sell their own shares and to acquire an
interest in the shares Of others.
