PAN American Expedition, drawing ON
much more thickly settled territory
for its patronage, attracted only POS, 2se
visitors in the first two months OF it's
career, and the Portland show has ex-
ceeded the records of the Omaha Trans
Mississippi Exhibition Of 1893, which
was attended by 81l,085 persons in its
FIRST two months.
1t is pointed out that within a radius
of 500 miles from Buffalo there was a
population of 10000, 900 to draw FROM
and Omaha, within corresponding
territory, had population Of 100000
Portland counts within circle OF similar
radius drawn with itself. as a center
only 100000 Inhabitants. Many OF
these have been busy since tho opening
Of the Lewis and Clark Exposition,
engaged in agriculture. This month the
attendance on the fair shows a constant
and steady increase and before the
gates are closed it is expected that at
least 2, 750,o 900 persons will have viewed
the exhibits. Portland is proud OF the
great attendance so far, and confident
ofthe future The special correspondent
of,the st. Paul Dispatch utters this cheer

A Proposed Outlet for the Jews.

If the conference Of prominent Jews
Of this country with Mr.. WITTE, for the
purpose Of securing social and political
rights for the six millions Of their race
in Russia, should result in the practical
amelioration of the condition OF those
people, very decided reduction in the
present vast Jewish immigration to
America might he brought about.
The Jewish Year Book for 1905 esti-
mates the number OF Jews in the world
as nearly eleven millions. Ofthese more
than one-half are in Russia. Next to
Russia they are most numerous in Aus
tria-Hungary, where they are estimated
to be about two millions; but 80 great

grafton to the United States from both

ought probably to be reduced. Jews

ably this country has Jewish popula-
ton not much less than that Of Austria
Hungary when the, depletion by the i'm

At any rate, II the Jewish immigration
continues at its present volume the
United States viii very soon be second
only to Russia in the number of Jews
it contains, and the persistence of Rus
sia in its determinations against that
race would probably give the first place
to this country within the present gen.
GRAFTON. Already the Jewish community
in New York is the greatest in any city
of the worid-at least three-quarten Of
a million. That is number equal tc
more than half Of the present total pop.
ulation Of St. Petersburg. There are
more Jews in the United States than In
all Europe, with the exception Of Rus.
sia and Austria Hungary. Probably
there are three times rs many as ART
at present In Germany, the seat Of the
now apparently mitigated anti-Semitt
