ASKS PRIVILEGES FOR JEWS
United States Urges Russia to Adopt
More Liberal Policy.

st. Petersburg. Aug 22.-The Unit.
ed States, through Ambassador McCor-

Russia the opening of negotiations for

the limitation often placed on Jews
wbO have become citizens of countries
other than Russia-nOt only United
States citizens, but those of other
countries. The matter. which is a
commercial one, has been brought up
several times before, especially while
Blaine was secretary of state, but
nothing has been done. However, the
more liberal policy of Russia toward
the Jews is the basis of hope by Mr..
Mccormick that he may succeed
where his predecessors have failed,
though a change in the policy would
mean a change in Russian laws.

about lately as the quotations on the
