WILL MODERATE THE LAWS.
Russia to Relax Restrictions, But
Jews Will Not Be on Footing
with Other Inhabitants.

1t was announced in the Berlin Tage-
blatt the other day from an excellent
Russian source that the cars govern
ment is about to moderate the anti
Jewish legislation. Minister of the In
terror Won Plehve last autumn sent cir
cular to the provincial authorities inquir-
ing about the situation and the causes
of the distress and dissatisfaction Of the
Jewish population.
The provincial authorities with sur
prtsing unanimity blamed the anti
quated laws for the social and economic
disorders, which involved the whole
country, and commission will be ap-
pointed Immediately to elaborate milder
legislation, and especially to improve
the situation of the Jewish proletariat.
The greatest change, it is added, is
likely to be a relaxation of the restric.
lions on residence. 1t Is not expected
in any quarter that the revision will
result in placing the Jews on entire
equality with the Russians.

A State Hotel.
One of the interesting experiments
in municipal ownership made in Aus

of Western Australia OF a hotel at
Gwalla, mining town In the gold
fields, says the New York Mail. The
manager is paid fixed salary and is
under orders not to push the sale Of
liquors. The food is the best and the
service far above the average In a
rough country. So far the experiment
has been success, and there is Q

Walter WelIman's falsehoods.

Wnen Col. Henderson was speaker
of the House of Representatives he
considered it necessary to publicly
call attention to the fact that Walter
Wellman was audaciously unreliable.
Some criticised the Colonel at the
tune on the ground that Wellmans
reputation as lurid liar was so gen.
orally known that it was quite unnec-
cessary for a public officer to deny
anything he said.
There is, however, a cunning, crafty
malice in many of Wellman's false.
hoods. Take his story about Hearsts
renting all the rooms in one of the
leading hotels at st. Louis, for illus
tration. He told that falsehood like
many others when he wanted to make
1T appear that Mr.. Hearst was using
vast sums of money to secure the
nomination, and at time when the
manager of the St. Louis hotel was
writing to leading democrats in the
different states Offering to reserve a
certain number of rooms for the dele
gates from their states, but requlr.
ing written guarntees that the rooms
would be taken and paid for. The
Iowa guarantee was signed by Mr..
Mercer, OF Iowa City, Mr.. Jackson, OF
Tama and several others, but no one
considered it at all necessary to deny
what Wellman said
But Wellman's falsehoods about
Hearst's extravaganza had double
purpose which is now quite apparent.
Wellman is now on the opposite tack.
He is now trying to prove that Mr..
Hearst has abandoned the struggle
for the nomination, and all he has to
do to prove his present claims is to
have Mr.. Hearst undo the things
which he never did-the things which
originated solely in Mr.. Wellman s
malevolent imagination. Just on the
eve of four Important state conven.
lions last week, Wellman had Mr..
Hearst cancel his contract for rooms
at the st. Louis hotels. Wellman
knows that Mr.. Hearst never con.
tracted for or cancelled any contract
for a large number of rooms at any OF
the hotels in ST. Louis, but resorts to
such practices to deceive those who
do not know his methods.
There is no question but what Col.
Henderson did the right thing when
he publicly rilloried Walter Wellman.

make his first crop Of lies do second
