CONDITION OF JEWS ABROAD
UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER
ARRIVES WITH MEMORANDA.

Declares Those in Russia Do Not Want
to Leave That Country-NTostIy
Farmers and Are Happy and Brave
PeopIe-Love Their Country in Spite
of Terrible Oppressfon--Sad Con-
dition Among Those Who Have
Reached England to Come Here.
New York, Aug, DIR. Ado1ph DAN
zieger, former United States consul at
Madrid, arrived here to-day to lay be-
for the department Of commerce and
labor memoranda concerning the condi-
ition Of the Jews abroad, the inforrna-
ting being gathered at the request of
the department for the use of the bu-
reau of immigration In dealing with
that class of immigrants.
"In England, Germany and Russia"
said DR.. Danzieger, in reviewing his
observations to-day, What struck me
most notably was the hopeful views the
Jews take of America.
1.-THE people l met were hoping the
president would take the opportunity
that presented itself to induce the Rus
sian government to grant them freedom
or at least to give them equal rights in
Russia. Many of the Russian Jews do
not want to leave that country; they
are farmers and are happy and brave
people. They love their country in spite
of the terrible oppression that has
been brought upon thin by the Russian
government.
II found a terrible condition among
the Russian Jews who have gone to
England to come to this country.
"The steamship companies are afraid
to bring them here for fear they will
be declared paupers with the result
that the steamship companies would
have to take them back to England.
In order to refuse them passage when
they have the money to pay their way
the doctors of the companies invent ex-
cuses. They declare that they are suf-
fering from some kind Of eye disease or
some other imaginary i'll. The fact is
the Jews there are powerful fellows,
who have had their muscles trained on
farms in Russia. They are not only
farmers, but mechanics of all kinds
DR.. Danzieger expressed the opinion
that the south offered an opening for
the Jews if the interests there were
anxious to obtain white labor for farm
work

commander has instructions to add, by
charter or impressment, whatever boats
he deems desirable for his mission.
The boats will be fully armed and
each filled with complement of naval
militia.
Governor BIanchard's action is based
on telegrams received to-day. showing
that the Mississippi quarantine officers
are reported to be employing high
handed measures and interfering with
Louisiana citizens.
Captain Bostwick to-day made re-
port to the governor by wire that arm
ed Mississippians had been crossing the
Louisiana line, that Mississippi launch
es had been interfering with traffic in
Lake Pontchartrain and capturing
.schooners, that they have stopped fish
ing at Lake Borgne, and that traffic In
Lake Borgne canal has been inter-
rupted.

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw Wig
orous protest against the Interference
of the revenue cutter Winona with
Louisiana 6shing boats on navigable
waterways of the United States. and
is apparently assisting the Mississippi
quarantine patrol boats in interfering
with Louisiana citizens. The governor
requested prompt action to stop these
practices, and asked for the release of
the boats held by the Winona, @ ,5.s 5g.s
/ The governor also wired the collector
of customs at Biloxi under whose ju-
risdiction the Winona is demanding the
release Of Louisiana boats said to be
held by the revenue cutter.
A similar dispatch was sent by the
governor to the officer in charge of the
United States Marine hospital on Ship
island.
The latter official was asked by what
authority he is holding the Louisiana
boats, the immediate release of which
is demanded. No reply had been re-
ceived to these kilograms.
