AN INSULT TO RUSSIA.
Newspaper View of Americas Proposal
Regarding the Jews.

st. Petersburg, Sept. IA, 1895 p. m.
The fact that the government of the
United States, through Ambassador
Mccormick, had opened negotiations
with the Russian government. with the
object of obtaining recognition of Jew
ish passports in Russia is not generally
known here Even the Journal de
St Petersburg, the semi-offlcial organ
of the foreign Office, receives the re-
ports drifting back through the for
eign press with incredulity.
The Journal refers editorially to
what it calls a Simplifying" article in
the Paris Steele representing President
Roosevelt as a new Moses seeking to
impose on Russia liberal treatment of
Russian Jews naturalized in the
United States, and Pobedonosteff
(procurer general of the holy synod
as RusSia's evil genius and says:
Have those who have written or
inspired the article weighed the temer-
ity of the chimera, a realization of
which would be an insult to Russia ~
After arguing at length the reasons
for the Russian Jewish laws, the Jour
nal proceeds:
Washington says, Your restrictive
laws are barbarous. We condemn
them. We will breach them Wash
ington claims that Russian Jews nat
uralized in the United States are enti-
tied to escape the laws of the empire,
or the dignity of the United States
would be surrendered. No, a thousand
times, no. The prestige of the United
States will not suffer. We deny, and
always will deny that a foreign coun-
try has the right to make overtures
for the classification of our population
under the fiction of rights acquired by
naturalization in America. A simple
statement of the case demonstrates it's
enormity. American citizens are al
ways welcome and will always enjoy
treatment similar to the citizens of
other countries. But that does not pre-
vent our specifying conditions under
which foreign subjects can enter the
empire. If to limit immigration as
America does, if we wished to stop Chi
nese immigration as America does who
would deny our right to do so, even
if we reserved to ourselves the right
of limiting the domiciliary privileges of
native born Americans who were not
Christians, we would have the right to
do SO. Consequently, with greater rea-
son, we have the right to stop refugee
United States and simply exchange
passports to swarm back afterwards,
sweep away the territorial dykes and
upon the slightest provocation appeal
to the ever vigilant protection of the
ronsulates of the land with which, as 4
matter of fact, they have no tie. I'm
der artificial protection they would
thus create a sore body polite. Once
more, we refuse to believe that Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who has given so many
evidences of political tact. has entrust-
ed The American ambassador at st. Pc
tersburg with such a mission
Further answer has been given 10
Ambassador Mccormick In the matter
but all hope that Russia will even I'M
dertake to entertain the American pro-
position is practically abandoned.

RETURNS TO WORK.
rheumatism Couldn't Keep E. Wetzel
Down for Long.

E. Wetzel. employed in the scrap
yards of the Santa Fe, is again at
work after being laid up with a severe
case of Sciatic rheumatism in the right
hip and leg from the knee to the ankle.
Mr.. Wetzel was in the Santa Fe hos
pital this spring, from April "a to June
1, on account of his rheumatism and
another attack came on about three
weeks ago. After suffering the agOnies
of sciatic rheumatism for week or so
he placed himself under the care of
Prof. ]. Austin Larson, the natural
magnetic healer at the National hotel,
with the result that in less than a
week he was able to return to work
To a State Journal reporter he said: Il
was in pretty bad shape with the
rheumatism and had to quit work. /
didn't want to be laid up in the hospi-
tai for five or six weeks because l
couldn't afford to lose the time, so L
went to Prof. Larson. He gave me
few treatments and was able to re-
turn to work, working four days last
week and so far this week. In spite of
being at work, l am growing better
every day. Prof. Larson certainly has
power over rheumatism.
Mr.. Wetzel lives at the Midland no.
tel, corner of Fourth and Quincy. He
has lived in Topeka two years. PreYi-
ously he lived at Newton and Alma, a
each of which places he was engaged
in the bakery business.

HIS TROUSERS CAUGHT.
Tree Limb Holds PrOwler Until POI
lice Release and Arrest Him.

Louisville. KY, Sept. 14.-David
Brooks was arrested on the limb of a
tree in a yard at 544 Second street last
night by the police. David had been
prowling about William Grom's rear
yard. and when it was evident the fam
lily was alarmed, had thought it best
to retire.
There is a tree in the Grom yard and
a powerful high fence. David thought
to reach the one by climbing the other,
and this he did just as Sergeant Davis,
Corporal Gunther and Patrolmen
Wehrle and Horn. summoned from cen
trail station. entered the front yard. But
drink was Davfd's undoing. About one
fourteenth of what had been quart
of whisky was still in the bottle. From
his post in the tree David leaped for
the fence, but omebody-probably fate
had driven nail. an old rusty nail,
in the very tip of the limb, and there
David's trousers caught. Straight
through the seat of his newly acquired
trousers the old rusty nail plunged, and
there David hung. Had he drunk less
freely he might have left only his
trousers to be captured by the officers,
but David hadn't drunk less freely, and
so the charge of suspected felony was
placed against him at the county Jail.
Il didn't like these old pants when
bought en-" said David, who is color
ed. but that old secondhand dealer

PARsoN TRADED HORSES.
Conference Gave Him Right to Do So,
as Church Pay Was Small.

Lexington. KY. Sept. 1.-THE Rev.
W. A. Penn. pastor of the Methodist
church at Maysville, Ky. and for
eighteen years member of the Ken
lucky conference, was before the ses-
sion of tn annual conference yesterday
on charges preferred by the Rev. John
E Deering. presiding elder of the
Maysville district. The motion made
by Elder Deering alleged that the Rev.
Mr.. Penn devoted more of his time
TO trading horses on county court days
at the various county seats than he did
TO the work of the church The Rev.
Mr.. Penn did not make denial of the
charge, but in defending his action
stated that he was forced to seek other
business pursuits besides his church
work in order to properly support his
family. owing to the small Sa larry al
lowed him by his church. The case
occupied three hours before the con-
ference and arguments were made by
several ministers and presiding eld-
ers. but after it was proved by the
Rev Mr.. Penn that his business was
along legitimate lines the motion was
withdrawn The motion created quite
a stir in the conference and the Rev
AIR Penn was congratulated by many
Tor the able defense made by him.

Freeman wilson Really Free.

Governor Bailey has granted a par
don to Freeman Wilson, a man who
was sent to the Hutchinson reforma-
tory in 1896 for assault with intent to
rob down in Chautauqua county. He

while and in the meantime got mar
ried and has accumulated a family
consisting of a wife and three chill

who convicted him but who is now
chaplain of the penitentiary. Joined

NEW DISCOUNT RATE is MADE.
Lumbermen Agree on Change e.
fective March %.


Two per cent. discount on payments
within fifteen days will be allowed ar
ter March % by the white pine manu-,
facturers of the Mississippi Valley
Lumbermen's association.
This action has just been decided on
at a meeting of the officers and
directors of the association. The
meeting was called to receive the re-
port Of committee to confer with the
representatives of the Wisconsin Val
ley Lumbermen's association regard
ing terms of sale.
Until a year ago the terms were 2
per cent. in ten days, l per cent. in
thirty days, and net in sixty days.
Shipments seldom arrive within ten
days, and many retailers took longer
time to pay, and then took the pei
cent. discount. To prevent this, there
was a national movement among the
manufacturers, and several associa'
lions adopted new terms, giving =
1per cent. in fifteen days. These were
adhered to by the Mississippi valley
manufacturers, but the Wisconsin
valley mills found their Chicago com
petitors still granting the old terms
and at their meeting in February they
went back to the per cent. Thi;
forced the Mississippi Valley associa
ton tC the action just taken, but tn,
new terms give longer time for TAX
ing the discount, in order that re
tailers may have their lumber befor
paying for it. After March 2S tn
terms will be per cent. off in fiftee
days, 1 per cent in thirty days, an
net in sixty days.
