PASSPORT CASE AGAIN.
United States Government Makes
Formal Propositions to Russia,

ST. Petersburg, Aug 21.-The United States
government has again formally proposed to Rus
sia the opening OF negotiations for the unre-
stricted recognition OF American passports. In
accordance with the law of the Empire only
foreign Jews of specified classes-merchants
having business connections III the country, ETC.
are allowed TO enter Russia. but liberal
policy has been pursued in making exceptions
to the rule where legitimate reasons therefor are
given The exceptions. however. seldom
made in the cases OF Russian Jews who have
been naturalized abroad The inhibition is not
against the United States alone. but extends
to the Jews OF every country.
The United States government on several oc-
Casions. especially during the incumbency OF the
Secretaryship Of State by James G. Blaine.
sought TO open negotiations regarding this
question. but the Russian government always
declined TO begin such negotiations. on the
ground that the question involved the entire
readjustment of the internal policy OF the en-
pire toward the Jews.
The basis Of this proposition is the joint reso-
luton OF the United States Congress passed on
April % last which lends It additional weight
as being the expression OF tho united wish OF tho
representatives of the American people. Both
verbally and by note he subject has been pre-
scented to the Foreign Minister NJ Lamsdorn.
by Ambassador Mccormick.
While In ordinary circumstances Il Is not
probable that Russia would even yield TO the
extent of discussing a question affecting the in
ternal policy of the empire. and while a compli-
ance with the American wish would probably
entail a change in Russian laws, the more lib
eral policy recently manifested toward the Jews
of Russia seems 20 create at least the room for
hope that Ambassador Mccormick may now
succeed where his predecessors failed. It is
that. while the earnest wish of tho
United States government I'm this matter has
been made quite plain TO Russia. the American
note is couched IN such terms not 10 render a
on the part of Russia In any sense re-
buff

Japanese Caualry Just West of
TO7Cn-I'roOps Using Boats.

Liao-Yang, Aug. 21.-The japanese column,
which is advancing up the Liao River, is under
stood to have reached point near Shahotzu,
where the Tai-Tse River joins the inner Lao
River just west of Lao-Yang Russian patrols
met the Japanese cavalry at shahotzu. and it
is known that the japanese infantry is always
near the cavalry.
It is further understood that the Japanese are
using boats and advancing along the main
and outer Lao River IN the direction of Hsin-
Min-Tun. They are unopposed on account OF the
f1npassable condition of the roads
Since July 81 the Japanese reported to
have assembled six divisions in the vicinity Of
Kuchiatzu, Otherwise they are inactive In the
east merely patroling the road to Pensihu and
In the direction of Moukden.

READY TO INTERVENE.
United States Men hay BE Sent
ashore at Che-FoO.

Che-Foo. Aug. 21.-With the exception OF
Chinese vessels, the United States cruiser Gin
cinnati and the United States sunboI Froiic
are the only warships at present in this port
They are ready to send men on shore at mo-
nlent's notice should occasion arise The fear
of trouble, however. is remote. There Is some
fear that the local japanese may clash with the
Russian sailors from the torpedo boat destroyer
RvesbjteIni who are now at the Russian con-
sulate.
The foreign consuls and others IN authority
are united in saying that nothing has occurred
SO far to give reason TO expect trouble. The
situation is absolutely quiet.

THE SULTAN'S OPPOSITION.
Ministers Said To Be Willing to Accede to
American Demands in Full.

London, Aug 22.-The Constantinople corre-
spondent of THE Standard" considers that the
diplomatic triumph of the United States In the
matter OF that governments demands upon
Turkey, rests upon slender foundation. Tho
correspondent says that the Council of Ministers
thrice recommended yielding to the American
demands. but the Sultan absolutely declined to
agree to this step. This attitude is emphasized.
says the correspondent, by the fact that the Sui
tan did not receive Minister Leshman in audi
ence after Fridays selamlik, as 1t had been eX-
pected he would do.

deserves the support of the race.
The Washington Post, speaking of
the performance, said:
The Empire Theatre has another
clever band of coIored entertainers
this week. The company sailing under
the suggestive title of "a Rabbits
Foot gave the regular matinee and
night performances. The show is
more of d vaudeville entertainment
than anything else, and the peculiar
humor of the Negro comedian vies
with the singing powers of seven
duszy vocalists for the approval OF
the crowd
Happy Arthur Howe bears the brunt
of the comedy in admirable style.
Happy's methods depart greatly from
the work of the legitimate comedian,
but he is funny, very much so, and
the large audience at the opening per-
fOrmances found plenty to amUse them
in his quaint humor. He also sings a
fashion dance, all of which are we'll
done Inman and Davis met with
favor in their offering. Both members
of the team are clever in their line of
work, and were encored repeatedly. E.
H. Collins was pleasing in all allotted
to his care. Laura Logan sang with
grave and expression. John Hopkins
came up to the standard. Ivy Harris
was not found lacking in qualities as
a coincidence Others in the cast are
Sam Davis, Louise Stevens, Mabel
Weakley, Charley Williams, Bose
Reese, Mamie Lawrence, and Sam
Cohen. The large chorus is composed
of many excellent singers and dancers,
the costumes are pretty, and the seen
cry all that could be asked for. The
company is among the best of its kind
and can receive the credit of giving
good all-around programme.

AN ENTERPRISING BUSINESS
MAN.

The Cooperative Mercantile & In
vestment Company made no mistake
in electing as president Mr.. Frank
Gaines, who has proven himself the
right man in the right place. This
company was organized by the colored
business men of the District, with a
capital stock of twenty thousand
dollars. for the object of engaging in
some kind of business. From the very
first meeting, the purpose of its Of
ficers has been to get together and to
sell a sufficient number of shares OF
stock to engage III some kind of en-
terprise that might be deemed pro
f1table. The shares of stock have
been placed at five dollars each. and
already many hundreds have been
sold. At each weekly meeting. a
large cash sale of shares is reported.
and this is due very largely to the
untiring energies of Mr.. Gaines. the
president. He is well known in this
community as one Of the most sue
cessful of our young business men.
and to his great credit, it may be said
that he has the confidence of the pub
lie The Cooperative Mercantile &
Investment Co., has a healthy bank
account, and is ready at a moments
notice to close a deal for from five to
fifteen thousand dollars. There are a

advantage of the opportunity to pur-
chase these that have not been sold.
