TO TAKE AWAY RIGHTS OF JEWS.
Latest Ruling Expected to Cause Greater
Emigration.

London, (By Cable. The st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Jewish Chron-
icle says the commission now sitting at
St Petersburg, charged with the revision
of the laws in force against the Jews,
proposes to recommend that in 10 pro
vinccs of Poland where hitherto Jews
have enjoyed unrestricted rights these
rights shall now be restricted in every
respect to conform to the regime obtain
ing within the pale of settlement.
Under this ruling Jewish merchants
and professional men will be deprived OF
the right to employ Jewish clerks and
assistants. 1t is almost impossible for
Jewish merchants to carry on their bust
ness without Jewish clerks and assist
ants. More than half a million Jews re.
side outside the pale of settlement, -
few of whom, if these restrictions were
enforced, could remain. 1t is therefore
believed that all unexampled emigration
of Jews will result if the recommends
tions of the commission are put into
effect.

images are seen; the one oue TO renee

neither being magnified, the observa-

able to make the two images OF equal
