RUSSIA ExPELLiNG JEWS.
Officials Claim They Are Aiding and
Abettinu Hiuh Treason.

ST. Petersburg, Feb. 23.-The Rus.
sian government has just ordered the
expulsion of all Jewish residents from
Tomsk, Omsk, lrkutsk and other towns
along the Transsiberian railway. The
Russian officials maintain that the
Jews throughout the Russian domin
ions are aders and abettors of high
treason.
The Jews in Siberia, they affirm,
would find means to betray the mill.
tary secrets regarding the transporta
ton and disposition Of troops to Japan.
These accusations the Jewish leaders
declare to be base calumnies. Never
theless the order is to be carried out.
Not only will the Jews be expelled
from their homes throughout Siberia,
but the Russian government refuses
to allow them to return to European
Russia by the railway. The excuse
is made that the railroad is reserved
for military purposes. The unfortunate
Jews will therefore be compelled to
tramp on foot to Europe.

Toxic during the day and produced a
feeling of general satisfaction. The
government is confident of the inten
ton OF France to refrain from permit
ting the Russians to use its ports as
bases fer naval operations. The re
affirmation of French neutrality Is
highly reassuring to the present dip
lOmatic situation. 1t is of the opin
ion here that the maintenance of neu
trality Of the Oriental ports is ex
tremely advantageous to Japan, as it

1t is evident that unless harmony
