RUSSIA STIRRED
BY SECRET EDICT
Implied Permission to Prosecute
Jews When War Ends Causes
Indignation.

ST. Petersburg, April 9.-Liberal
Russians Of all classes are outraged
by secret decree issued by Won
Plehye, minister of the interior, ask
ing the people not to modest Jews as
long as the war is in progress.
This implied permission to perse-
cute the unfortunate Hebrews after
the war is over is considered one of
the most brazen acts Won Plehve ever
committed. There is widespread resent
ment Of the idea Of using thousands
of Jewish soldiers against the Japan
csc, and when the war is ended turn
ing those over who have not been
killed to the tender mercies Of their
oppressors.
Powers Take Action.
New York, April Oscar S.
Strauss formerly United States min
lister to Turkey, speaking of the cabled
reports as to the fear of antt-Semitic
massacres in Odessa and Kiev, in
southern Russia, says that he had &C

circulars recently were distributed In

year ago In Kishinef.

"<has been taken up by the British

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, April 9.-Old Chief
Hump, one of the many famous Sioux
Indians who have been in Washington
this winter, had the time of his life
the other. day. Tom Roberts, Sena-
tor Kittredge's secretary, 3telephoned
General miles one morning while
Hump was in his office, asking if he
would see the old fellow The general
told him to hurry up; that he wanted
to talk over old times with Hump,
who was at one time under his COM
Inand as a scout.
On reaching the Miles residence they
found they were to be entertained IN
royal style. General Miles had spread
"big feed such as he knew would
delight the Indian. Hump fell to with
a vim, and had two or three help
| ings.' Then the party adjourned to
| the generals library, and he and
Hump, thru an interpreter, talked over
the campaigns with the Nez Perces.
Nothing would do but that the gen.
eral should get out his automobile
and, with Hump on the front seat
they went around Washington and
into the suburbs at a speed that tool
the old mans breath away. Whether
he was frightened at the ''choo-chot
dev'i'' will never be known, for thu
only expression that came from hin
was q solemn Huh when they go
back. Probably he will tell his grand
children how he felt when he return
to South Dakota.

in constant communication with For

daily a kings messenger has been
going to and fro between London and
Copenhagen with dispatches.
The kings efforts looking to peace
between Russia and Japan are not
regarded with much favor either by
This ministers or by the ministerial
newspapers, among which there is a
strong feeling that, later on, Japan
will be in position to negotiate for
peace on even better terms than now.
Besides, there exists in opposition
to the kings efforts the subconscious
motive that Great Britain has nothing
ito lose, If Russia and Japan be al
lowed to shed each others blood In
