Zionist Congress.

Basic, Switzerland, July 29. AT to-
morrow's session of the Zionist Con-
gress delegates Professor DR.. Otte War
burg and DIR. Soskin, both of Berlin,
will present the report of the committee
appointed to deal with the question of
Jewish colonization in Palestine. 1t APP
pears from this report that out of the
total population of Palestine, which
numbers 600, 900, approximately so, 600
are Jews. The majority of these Jews
live in the towns, there being 40. 900
Jews in Jerusalem, 10000 in Jafa
and 1000 in Tiberius. The coloniza-
ton by Jews is not far advanced There
are, however, q villages of Jewish
agricultural cOloniss which number s.
500 and who own a total extent of l60,-
900 acres of land All experts agree
that Palestine could support a much
larger population. There is no doubt
that Palestine could support at least
1000, 900 more persons than at present,
so that there is plenty of room for i'm
migrants. The work of the committee
has been limited to modest dimensions.
1t dispatched two expeditions to Pales-
tine and Asia Minor, one foT the pur-
pose of geological research and the other
for investigating in detail the commercial
and agriculture possibilities of the coun-
try. Six meteorological stations have been
established in the different parts of
Palestine to made systematic obserya-
tions regarding the climate conditions
for agriculture. An experimental colony
has also been established to carry out
detailed tests regarding the productivity
of the soil and the possibilities of de-
velopment. The committee has also
been able to begin on small scale the
production of cotton in Palestine. In
Europe the committee sought to distribute
the information about Palestine by means
of courses of lectures and literary publ
cations among the Jews who may be
called upon to colOnize the Holy Land.

WE LIVE in a restless age, and events
follow close in the wake of others. A
most interesting sign of the times is the
present movement among Jews toward
restoring the Israelitish Commonwealth.
These people have almost since the adj
vent of the Christian era been dispersed
among all civilized nations of the earth,
a people without country or king.
The great mass has prOspered, and it is
said that they possess one.fOurth Of The
capital of the world. The Zionist Con-
gress now in session at Basic, Switzer-
land is attracting considerable attention,
not only of the descendants of Abraham,
but of many Others who are interested in
the future history of the Jewish people
The orthodox Hebrew has ever believed
that Palestine is 10 be the future home
of the race, and that the forecasts OF
their seers will yet be fulfilled literally.
The present generation may witness the
reoccupatiOn of the Holy Land by the
fsraelities and a subsequent panorama OF
events equally as interesting.

Ironworkers' Union, who refused to con-
tinue work for the American Bridge
Company, which concern has the con-
tract Tor the construction of the Kimberly
avenue bridge over the West river, has
reached a serious point. All New Eng
land is now tied up by the strike, and it
bids fair to be general strike all over
the country, which will be fought to the
bitter end. The cause of the strike is
over the fact that the American Bridge
Company sub-let contracts to the
Boston Bridge Company, concern en-
ploying nOn-uniOn men. There are 100
local union men employed by the Ameri-
can Bridge Co. and these men refuse to
work unless the American Bridge Com
pany comes TO terms and strikes from its

TOday's Telegraphic News
More War Talk.

London, July 29.-Englishmen gener-
ally are manifesting considerable alarm
over the agitation which in proceeding
in Germany, urging the Kaiser ID take
the initiative in the insurance of proc
lamatiOn similar in nature to the Monroe
doctrine, affecting the Baltic Sea and
barring all warships from the Baltic, ex-
cept those of Germany, Russia, Den
mark and Sweden.
There is no doubt that if the agitation
for such a proclamation is successful,
aud all warships except those of the fav-
ored nations barred from these waters,
Germany will have taken long step to-
warp accomplishing her ambition to be-
come the preponderating naval power.
Sober-minded Englishmen consider
that England's naval prestige is threat
ened by the proposed plan, and there is
no doubt that if Germany persists in her
designs, serious Anglo-German crisis
will arise.
The Morning Post, one of the most
conservative journals in England, today
sounds warning on the subject, and de-
clares that if those who advocate the
closing of the Baltic to the warships OF
other nations Greatly represent Germany,
and want a fight with this country, the
sooner they have it, the better"
Announcement was made this week Of
the intention of the English Admiralty
to send large feet to the Baltic for ma
val manoeuvres. The evident purpose oil
this action was to offset the prestige
given the Kaiser by his present tour OF
those waters, and his visits to the sever
al sovereigns of the countries touching
the Baltic. This announcement has
caused a great deal of comment in the
several important countries of Europe
and the agitation in Germany for the
closing of the Baltic has increased since
England's announcement was made.

wise the rebuilding OF the accounts OF
their respective departments with a view
of cutting down expenses. All surplusss
which are found are to be placed at the
disposal of the finance department which
has urgent need of the. money. The
fact that money is being wasted in the
various departments has been brought to
light through the discovery that the navy
department is spending large sums for
fittings to replace parts which were de-
leciive on the warships of Admiral Ro-
jestyensky's feet which were sunk in
the recent great naval battle.

THE RICHMOND PRIMARY MUD
DIE.

As stated in the Gazette of that day
Judge s. B. Witt, of the Hastings Court,
yesterday ordered the Richmond grand
jury, which recently made partial in
yestigation Of irregularities in the recent
primary, to assemble again Monday and
to begin a thorough inquiry into the
methods employed at each precinct.
Many Irregularities are indicated and
some downright. The election may be
declared invalid and there will probably
be other indictments in addition to the
FIVE recently returned. At its former
meeting the grand jury examined nearly
all of the voters at the Third precinct,
Monroe ward and their testimony indicat-
ed that the vote there had been manipulat-
ed in favor Of ]. @. Smith for City Ser
geant and Minitree Fokes for Common
wealth's Attorney.
There are % other precincts to be eS-
amined and about 5000 voters to be in
terrogated. Summonses are now being
issued to those who voted in First JET
ferson and Second Lee. Commonwealth s
Attorney Richardson said yesterday that
he had received intimation of crooked
work in these and other precincts, and the
grand jury would be requested to probe
them to the bottom.
In view of the approaching primary
for the nomination of a United States
Senator and State officials it is desired
to make an example of the criminals in
order to deter Others. The defeated
candidates in the Richmond primary
have consulted lawyers with view to
bringing suit against the city committee
to recover the sums paid by them as
entrance fees, which aggregate $3.50.
They claim that the contract with the
committee guaranteed them fair cleo
ton, which they did not have.
The claim will be that the committee
did not use proper care in its choice of
election officers and is, therefore, re-
sponsible for the result /. is expected
that the result will be the total oyerturn
ing of the primary, and that new deal
will be ordered by the court in connec-
ton with the State primary, August %.

SATURDAY EVENING. JULY %, 1905.

JERRY SIMPSON, who several years
years ago enjoyed meteorlike notOriety
in Congress by mis- advocacy Of the plat
form of the defunct populist party, ard
las it was alleged for refusing to wear
socks, is dying in beautiful valley In
New Mexico. 1t is generally admitted
that had Simpson been allied with one
of the more stable parties of the land be
would soon have become a recognized
power in the organization. Compare
lively young given to cutting and origl-
nal reparte, members of the House were
careful in taking hold of him, as nine
times out Of ten be turned the laugh on
his adversaries. Personally he was COM
panionable, and likely to impress those
who made his acquaintance. Hispowers,
however, were confined mostly to his
wit, not to craftsmanship, and the crude
ideas of political economy as embraced
in thei notions of the party he represent
ed produced no lasting impression.
About ten years ago Simpson was In
vited to speak in Alexandria. He ar
rived here one night in company with
two or three other members of Congress
from the northwest. A room or bali
way) in the Bradd0ck House was Sc
lected as the auditorium and about
twenty or twenty-five persons appeared.
Simpson disappointed most of his hear
ers. They had expected to meet an err
ratio type of the Kansas hayseed adorned
with populistic whiskers. When Simp-
son was announced and neat pleasant
gentleman, dressed in conventional black
and wearing glasses, stepped forward
with a pleasant smile, their disappoint-
ment was visible. His speech, which
was an explanation of populistic dreams,
was listened to attentively, but he made
few prOseytes here. As stated above,
his ideas of political economy were re-
garded as crude. During his speech
in Alexandra he said, among other
things, that he acquired his political
ideas while following stump tail mule
and a pillow in Colorado. This political
school failed to appeal to the mass OF
voters.

Just when the members were in de-
vout line of thought the little creature
tried to ascend Squire Fulton's leg and
perch on his knee. Elder Fulton hand
ed the mouse a good worldly punch and
the little bundle of gray fur landed in
that. zone occupied chiefly by the sisters.
In record-breaking time every fair wor-
shipper was without the walls, their skirts
tightly gathered. In vain the brethren
implored the fearful ones to return. The
chain OF meditation and prayer had been
broken. The meeting abruptly ended,
the sexton extinguished the lamps and
the mouse held the fort.

many selections from the Bible. He
contended that the State and city laws
in regard TO Sabbath observances are
unconstitutional. Judge Bryan sustain

counsel for the Seventh-day Adventist
gave notice of appeal to the State Su-
preme Court. Hege announces that he
will take his case to the United States
