Jews Expelled From Siberia.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 23.-The Rus
sian government has just ordered the
expulsion of all Jewish residents
from Tomask, Omsk, Irkutsk and 9TH
er towns along the trans-Siberian rail-
way. The Russian officials maintain
that the Jews throughout the Russian
dominions are aiders and abettors of
high treason. The Jews In Siberia,
they affirm, would find means to be-
tray military secrets regarding the
transportation and disposition Of
troops to Japan.
These accusations. the Jewish lead
ers declare to be base calumnies.
Nevertheless the order is to be car
ried out. Not only will the Jews be
expelled from their homes throughout
Siberia, but the Russian government
refuses to allow them to return to
European Russia by railway. The *
cuse is made that the railroad is re-
served exclusively for military pur-
poses. The unfortunate Jews will.
therefore. be compelled to tramp ON
