Recognition of Jews.

St. Petersburg, Aug. l6.-Pressure
being brought to bear upon the Russian
government by rich Jews in America to
secure reforms which will better the
condition of their co-religionists in this
country, has already met with an unex-
pected success. The ministerial cOun-
Gil has decided to permit certain classes
of Jews to stand for election to the pro-
posed national assembly There has
been a vigorous protest against giving
the Jews any voice in the new assembly
and petitions imploring the government
not to recognize the Jews have been re-
ceived from all parts of the empire.
Nevertheless, despite these objections,
the council has decided upon the policy
announced. Three classes of Jews will
be recognized in the exemption from the
disability usually placed upon them.
They are First, merchants second,
persons holding university diplomas;
third, artisans who own their own shops.
The credit for securing this concession
for the classes of Jews in whose favor
this concession has been made is given
to American Hebrews of wealth, who
have been exerting all the influence
they could bring to bear in behalf of
their brothers in Russia. The ministers
have decided that the assembly shall
consist of $50 members. This number
will include ninety peasants. The cleo
tons will be conducted by classes, sepa-
rately, throughout the country. The
landlords, the inhabitants of the towns,
the peasants and the Cossacks will each
return their own representatives. The
relationship between the representative
assembly and the State council will be
similar to that which exists between the
House of Representatives and the Senate
in the United States Congress.

Wireless TeIegraphy For Trains.

Experiments made with wireless teleg-
raphy on Chicago and Alton Railroad
trains have proved so successful that the
management of the road has taken steps,

adopted each locomotive carrying its own
wireless signal apparatus, constitutes the

Agricultural, Manufacturing and
Trade Convention.

Chicago, Aug. l6.-Jrom east, west,
north and south representatives of live
stock, agricultural, manufacturing aud
trade organizations met in Chicago today
in an effort to force the removal of the
barriers that limit the expansion of
American commerce. A fair chance for
access to the markets of the world is the
object sought by delegates. The inter
ests involved aggregate hundreds of mil
lions of dollars in capital in the annual
output. The interest apparent on every
hand more pronounced than perhaps ever
had been manifested over a semi-political
conclave in this country. Nine-tenths
of the delegates to the convention are
protectionists, announcing to the general
use of that term, and their political af-
fliations generally have been with the
party that has developed the protective
tariff policy. Addresses are to be made
by Governor Deneen, $. B. Packard,
former Governor of Iowa; f. n. FOss, of
Boston; Senator Cullom of Illinois; Mayor
Dunno, and Governor Cummins, of Iowa.
Governor La Toilette, of Wisconsin; Van
SAINT, of Minnesota and Hsnley, of To-
diana, are expected to attend. The gen
eraI discussions will have a scope from
the primary economic needs of the cOun-
try TO technical and legal questions on
special interests.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. l6.-Ar-
thur Powell, vaudeville actor, said TO
have been the only sor of wealthy
Philadelphia man, died at his room, at
a lodging house, yesterday afternoon I'M
der suspicious circumstances that the

cheap wine, and vial of carbolic acid.

Stage Coach Held Up.

Madeira, Gala, Aug. l6.-The stage
coach from the YOSEMITE Valley for
Raymond was held up yesterday after
noon, and the passengers, all tourists,
were robbed of their money and jewels.
The robber, "a young man wearing a
black silk handkerchief for a mask, lay
in wait behind boulder armed with
shotgun. The passengers regarded the
hold-up as a joke until the bandit or
dered them to move quickly or be shot
off the stage. They were all lined by
the roadside and the driver was made
to assist in the collection Of spoils. IL
is thought The amount Of booty secured
was large, as all the passengers were
wealthy.

The yellow Fever.

New Orleans, Aug. l6.-Many well
informed physicians now believe that
the United States Public Health and
Marine Hospital service, 10 charge OF
the health situation, has succeeded in
getting a complete hold of the yellow
fever and that the largest number OF
cases of that disease have now been re-
ported. The largest number Of new
cases, l05, reported last Saturday, has
since that time been followed by daily
reports of only 80, 55 and 81 cases,
showing that the determination of the
mosquito is proving effectual.
The daily papers now fairly bristle
with the names of those who have had
afiidavi.s preferred against them for not
screening and oiling their cisterns.
This task will be thoroughly completed
in few days.
Following this movement, beginning
at 10 o'clock Sunday morning, there
will be systematic fumigation of every
room in every house of the city, TO kill
the mosquitoes in hiding.
There are 16S cases in the country
parishes outside of the city, and there
have been "a deaths. These figures are
not Official There have now been a
total of l, $50 cases in the city with III
deaths; 1884 cases remain under treat
ment.
There were GO cases and six deaths
yesterday. Quarantine is becoming less

IT Is said that fifteen per cent. of the
Protestant churches of Nebraska are
without pastors and it is impossible to
.., uiuisters to fill the vacant pull
pits. According to reports received Of
the Congregational, Methodist and
Lutheran churches in Lincoln, Neb.,
scarcely week passes but some minister
breaks away from the calling to engage
in another line of work. The prosperity
of the farming industry has called away
the greater number, but many have also
gone into business and other professions.
Low salaries are the cause of the trou
BILE. In the Congregational Church, for
instance, there is but one church in the
State that pays $4,000 to its pastor.
Another pays 81, 500, several others from
81, 800 to $1,000. A few pay from
81 900 to 81. 200, but the great bulk of
the preachers receive 5000 or 500 a
year. A large number do not receive
more than $500 a year. Many centuries
ago it was observed that the harvest was
great and the labOrers few. 1t seems to
be so now in sOme places.

Elihu Root and the Gang.

Elihu Root, one of the strong figures Of re-
publicansm, has been elevated to position
of the highest honor and opportunity in the
secretaryship of State.
His keen insight and his sturdy loyalty to
the principles of republicanism have not been
shown to better purpose than in his denunela-
ton Of graft among powerful persons in his
party His recent letter TO Mayor Weaver,
Of Philadelphia. startled the country by its
vivid language, and won for him the highest
praise as a leader. His Characterization OF
the gang as "a corrupt and criminal comM-
nation masquerading under the name Of re-
publicansp will always be remembered.
The utterance is of such wide Importance
that it has been preserved in permanent
form. The letter will appear as supplement
to the Sunday North American Of August 20.
Ii is printed ON a handsome colored sheet,
suitable for framing, decorated with Secretary
Roots portrait and the arms Of the United
States and Philadelphia.

KNOCKED out and killed while boxing
on the L. s. ship Yankee at Monte
Christi, Santo Domingo, July 10, was
the fate of Raphael Cohen, coal passer,
but the verdict is that he came to his
death Gin the line of duty" Rear Ad-
mira Bradford, commanding the Carib-
bean squadron, ordered an inquest to be
held. The verdict was that Cohen came
to his death in the line Of duty; that he
had died as the result of engagingin box
ing, and that boxing was part of the
athletics prescribed by the navy regula-
tons to afford the proper exercise for men.
Admiral Bradford then ordered board
of inquiry. The board, in addition to
adopting the findings of the inquest, re-
ported that the death was entirely acct
dental, and recommended that no
further proceedings be had. Secretary
BOnaparte has accepted these reports OF
the commanding officer of the squadron
as final, and so the matter ends. To
stop talk" if not "for the good of the
service" the killing of a sailor is thus
summarily disposed of by the Navy De-
partment.
