Russian Activity in the Holy Land
From the Memorial.

From the Memorial.
According to a recent Russian consular
report six years ago 5000 children attended
the Russian schools in Syria. The number
is now 10000.
Last spring a Russian squadron, under
Rear Admiral Krieger. paid a visit to Jafra.
from which point his men visited by rail
Jerusalem They found there that among
all the foreign Christian communities Rus
STA had taken the lead throughout the Holy
Land. and especially in Jerusalem, in buy
missions, schools, hospitals and monas-
teries. The Russian New jerusalem.
with its fine modern buildings, forms little
town of itself-a fortress that commands
Jerusalem. Russia has bought one-thrd of
the Mount of Olives, and inclosed 1t and the
Gethsemane Church by a wall, while from
beyond the JordOn there can be seen the
lofty Russian tower built on the summit OF
the mount, and close to the Church of the
Ascension. The Russian Palestine Society
has existed nearly a quarter of a century.
and it plays i very important part as the
tool of Pan-Slavism in Syria and Palestine.
Its president Is the Grand Duke Serge. and
among its members are the powerful lead
ers of the Pan-Slav movement.
Russia is Sparing no expense In the task
of educating the native children: thus the
leading scholars attending the schools for
natives are sent to Russia, where they re-
main for two or three years in a seminary;
then, a rule. Russian wife is found for
them. and they return to Palestine as
teachers. This fact explains the strong
Russian leanings possessed by the arabian
teachers, and thereby Russia's influence In
Syria and Palestine increases daily.

MEAT Is NO HIGHER.
Local Market Shows No Change in
Prices Quoted SATURDAY..

The furry In the local meat market.
which came on last week as the direct re-
suit Of the strike Of the meat cutters and
associated employees in the western pack
ing houses. has nearly disappeared today.
Prices are as high as ever, but there Is r.
general belief among merchants and pur-
chasers that they will advance no far
ther New York prime beef is still not
to be had, and the price OF the medium
home-dressed meats Is and 3 cents IN
advance of two weeks ago. Many persons
are having 5 and 6-cent advance Tor the
best home-dressed meats
Merchants in the wholesale meat business
here are buying and selling from hand to
mouth" this care being necessitated by tho
possibilities of a change within the next
few days They do not wish to have too
much of the poorer grades of meat on hand
when the market slumps. nor do they wish
to have a large quantity Of the higher
grades In such an event.
The wariness of wholesale merchants IN
this respect appears to indicate that they
really regard the present price to be as
high as will be reached. and look for a
turn in the other direction as soon as the
strikers and packers arrange things In the
west.

The German government, the foreign Of
flee says. recognizes the right to search
mails when board the vessel itself but
claims the Smolensk had no right to take
off mails in bulk from the vessel. The
further argument Is advanced that the
right of search can only be exercised by a
warship, whereas the Smolensk traversed
the Dardanelles only recently flying the
Russian commercial flag, not assuming the
character of a warship.
The German government has not taken a
positive stand on this last point but leaves
the question for future discussion and set
