The Society for the Promotion of Educa-
ton amongst the Russian Jews, which has
existed for the last forty years and is one OF
the most important Jewish bodies in Russia,
has issued a public declaration that it's work
can only be carried if the Jews are
granted equal rights with the other inhabi-
tants. and that the sole guarantee for this
is the convention of representatives of the
people without distinction of nationality or
creed.
Warsaw.-The Hebrew Daily Hazefirah
contains the report of an interview which
its editor. Nj. N. SOkOlof had with Nj. Yer
nOlOff Russian minister of agriculture, re-
garding the Jewish situation. THE Jewish
question: said the minister, requires thor
ough consideration. 1t cannot be solved by
a stroke of the pen. 1t is incorrect that the
government is unfavoraby disposed toward
that question. 1t only proceeds from the
right appreciation that the government of
country in which there live so many nation
alities with the most diverse requirements
cannot be one-sided and that in granting
one race certain rights it must also protect
the interests of the others. Yet legislation
concerning the Jews is undergoing a
thorough revision and important changes are
intended. Life is always creating new de-
mands, and these will certainly be cOnsid-
cred by the committee of minister's"
ST. observation-disclosures Nicholas last
Wednesday approved the recommendations
of the committee of ministers on the revision
OF laws dealing with Jews. The committee
of the opinion that it would be detri-
mental to the interest of the remainder of
the population to give Jews legal equality
and might lead to OutburStS of popular ill
will and it therefore decided to leave the
revision of the laws to the forthcoming rep
reSentative assembly, but recommended the
appointment of special extra official con-
ference to consist of members to be nOmi-
mated by the emperor and representatives of
the authorities to arrange the preliminares.
An interesting question will be decided
shortly, whether Jewish advocates who en-
braced Christianity and by so doing have
acquired rights would be deprived of them
in they wished to return to their for
mer religion. A Jewish lawyer who was in
debted to Christianity for his privilege will
shortly return to the Jewish faith, circum-
stance which will serve as motive for de-
Gliding the question
