AGONIZING PLEAS
 COME FROM RUSSIA
RUSSIAN JEWS OF MILWAUKEE RECEIVE LETTERS FROM RELA- TIvES TELLING OF AWFUL HoR- RoRS IN GEARS REALM.

Milwaukee, Wis, December 25.-"Do not ask any questions, do not wait to write but if you want to see us alive send which the Russian Jews of this city are daily hearing from relatives residing in the empire of the Czar.
 Horrible descriptions of slaughter and rapine are contained in many of the let ters. letter from Koloras. Russia, gives lurd description of the massacres which occurred there and in Uman, fol- lowing the issuance of the Czar's recent manifesto.
 According to the account, crowds of bri- gands followed the parade which was held in celebration of the issuance of the manifesto gathered in a mob, and placing at their head a picture of the Czar and a cross, emblem of state and church, made their way to the Jewish quarter where they at once begun their work of murder and robbery.
 Driving a number of Jewish children to the street, they poured kerosene on them and set fire to them while the mothers were obliged to stand by and helplessy listen to the agonized screams of their little ones as they perished in the flames.
 After making away with the children, the murderers turned their attention to other parts of the city. In koloras and Uman they estimate one thousand were killed. Most horrible cruelties were prac- ticed by those who participated in the massacres.
 Not only did the police refuse to pro tect or aid the Jews in any way during the massacres, but many of them even assisted the assassins in their bloody work The students and members of the educated class, however, came to the as- sistance of the Jews, and many of them faught valiantly in their defense

that it's troubles and ineffectiveness will be followed by complete political rev. olution in 190S
 Little or none of this may come true It is too early to judge. But it is well to have full and fair understanding of the dangerous way In which the republican party is now drifting along, a quarrel be- tween the skipper and a large part of the crew and the rocks not far away.

President Roosevelt is well aware of the way in which the railroads have stacked the cards against him up at the Senate, with the expectation of forcing him into a compromise. Occasionally the President gives utterance to expressions which in- dicate how deeply he loathes the very word "compromise" and how determined he is up to this time, to fight it out. To- day the President talked with unusual Vigor on the rate question with several of his callers, reiterating with emphasis the fact that he is for effective control' in rate matters This was brought out by continued stories that he will accept a compromise from the Senate. The Presi- dent is understood to care little about the kind of bill that passes or whether it is called by some a compromise. It is results that he wants to see, and he IS just as firm as ever in his intention to do all in his power to get legislation that will be reflective" The President is sat ished, too, that the temper of the country will not permit equivocation on this point, and means to insist on more than evasive or half-hearted laws.
 Western representatives are getting many letters from their constituents as causing some of them to go to the White House and pour out their fears to the President. He snatches a minute from his busy hours to reassure them that he is not in a compromising mood and that he knows very well the sort of game they are playing up at the Senate.
