JEWS OBJECT TO LAW
PROPOSED BY BRITISH

London, May 2o.-A deputation
from the Jewish board Of deputies
visited the home office for the pur-
pose Of offering objection to some Of
the clauses Of the alien immigration
bill which many Jews believe had its
origin in anti-Semitism.
Lord Rothschild, in introducing the
deputation, said that, altho the Jew
ish community did not know the ex-
act number Of Jews in England, they
had arrived at the conclusion that
there were not 10000 Unborn and
aliens In the whole Of the administra-
tive county Of London.
He urged that the pending bill
should be made to correspond with
the law Of the United States, allow
ing those having friends in the coun-
try willing and able to care for them,
to come in.

THINK IT OYER
FOR TEN DAYS
Illinois Republican Convention
Adjourns Without Nominating
Governor Until May 81.

Springfield, ILL.,, May 20.-When the
republican state convention reassem-
bled this morning, the rival candidates
had reached no conclusion as to a
plan by which the deadlock could be
broken.
A report that Lowden would with
draw was generally discredited. The
delegates faced a prospect that bal
loting would continue all day.
The convention was called to or
der by Chairman Cannon. The fifty
eighth ballot was Immediately pro-
ceeded with and resulted as follows:
Yates, 483.
Lowden, 500.

Pierce, 20.
While the balloting was in progress,
meeting, at which all the gubernato-
rial candidates were present, was held
in the adjutant generals office. An
agreement was then reached, with
practically no discussion, to adjourn
the convention.
When the result of the fifty-eigfth
ballot was announced, Senator Gard
ner moved that a recess be taken until
May 81. A roll call was ordered.
AS the roll call progressed it be-
came evident that the negative votes
on the question Of adjournment had
not come from the delegates, who,
with few exceptions, eagerly grasped
the opportunity to get home.
The vote stood, yeas, Ala; nays
88. When this was announced, the
convention broke up and the dele
gates rushed from the hall cheering
while the band played "Home, Sweet
Home"

PORT ARTHUR ON
EVE OF ASSAULT
Reinforcements Reach Japanese
and Final storming Is Be-
lieved Imminent.

Liao-yang, Russian Headquarters,
June 11.-Reports from Chinese
sources are to the effect that the Jap
anese forces near Port Arthur have
been heavily reinforced. It is believed
that an attempt to take the fortress
by assault will be made as soon as the
Japanese are strong enough to invest it
on the land side and at the same time
protect themselves from possible at
tack in the rear in case the Russians
sent force from the north.
There are persistent rumors again
that the Port Arthur squadron has
succeeded in making sortie but no
official confirmation Of the report is
obtainable.
The Russian reinforcements on their
way here will soon materially change
the situation and enable General Ku-
ropatk1n to move freely.
