BIG ROW OVER HARRISON EFFIGY.

WASHINGTON, Aug. lI-Secretary Shaw
has directed James Knox Taylor, super

4 Kellogg OF Philadelphia. architects OF
the new Indianapolis Federal Building, and
try to reach an agreement with the Benja-
min Harrison Monument Commission as
to the statue OF Gen. Harrison to he placed
In front Of the building.
A quarrel Of national significance has
grown out Of the matter. The Harrison
Monument Association, Of which Vice-Presi-
dent Fairbanks is chairman, had raised
about 15O, 900 to erect a monument to ex-
President Harrison. Permission was
granted the commission to place the statue
in front Of the new post Office building,
subject to the approval Of the architects.

Secretary Shaw agreed to approve any
design for the monument that Vice-Presi-
dent Fairbanks, Senator Beveridge and
Congressman Overstreet would agree upon.
all being citizens of indianapolis.
But the Vice. President a nd the COM
mission OF which he is president selected
a design submitted by Charles H. Nye-
haus without consulting Senator Beveridge
or Congressman Overstreet. Secretary
Shaw thereupon, it Is said, refused to ap-
prove It until the Senator and Congress-
man agreed, and they have refused to agree
up to this time.
Added to this embarrassment was an
objection from the architects to the Nyehaus
design, they asserting that the base was
too expansive and married the architectural
symmetery Of the new Federal Building.
At this point the German American
citizens Of Indianapolis entered I. protest
because q design submitted by Rudolph
Schwartz, a local artist who modelled .
statue Of the late Gov Pingree and has
done other creditable work, was ignored
by the Harrison Monument Commission.

all news OF the conference, from the point

to BIO exercising It's utmost ingenuity to

The spokesman Of the Foreign Office

THE GULF STREAM SHIFTS.

Formerly Did. e.

BosroN, Aug. 17.-The fruit steamer
Admiral Schley, Capt. Jansen, arrived here
this morning from Jamaica. bringing news
that the Gulf Stream had changed its
course. Capt. Jansen said that the Gulf
Stream is active up to within twenty miles
OF ths Nantucket South Shoal lightship.
Where formerly It was only noticeable
between latitude 81 and latitude 50 1t now
runs strong up to north latitude 1910.
The temperature OF the water ranges from
50 to 70 degrees, and upon leaving the
stream there Is an immediate drop Of 10
degrees.
The captain said he never knew tho
stream to be discernible a. far north Is 1t
Is this summer and had never before
seen the stream so strong. He had no
theory to account for the strong current
or the change in the stream, but said
that last winter 1t ran out Of its course and
extended as far to the southwark as 1t does
Thu summer in the opposite direction.

POLICE GUARDS WITHDRAWN.
Strike Of Hebrew Bakers Is Now Regarded
~ Onlcially Ended.


Tho end Of the Hebrew bakers strike
came yesterday with the withdrawal OF
tho police from the bakeries. This was
after q talk between Police Inspector
schmittberger and Jacob Book. president
Of the Boss Bakers Association. A small
crowd OF strikers met at the strike head
quarters, Jefferson Hall, o. Columbia street,
where 1t was announced by Strike Leader
Kurtz that about 100 bosses had signed con-
tracts individually with the union and he
expected them all to sign. The Hebrew
Boys Bakers Association says that this
means nothing, as there arc 400 employing
bakers and most of them have got their
workmen back on the open shop plan.
Five hundred Italian bakers held meet
Ing at 1874 Sullivan street yesterday to form
a union and were addressed by International
Organizer Heintz Of the bakers unions and
Strike Leader Kurtz. The Italian bakers,
OF whom there are about 1900, according
10 Kurtz. offered to strike in sympathy
several days ago. but were told that the
strike was not required.

JEWS CALL 0NsWI1TE.:
Told That the Race Wiif No. Represented IN
Natienal Assembly ~

Tho current number of the Amer ican
Hsbrsw contains this despatch from Ports
mouth concerning the visit Of Jacob H.
sohif, Isaac N. Seligman, Adohph Lewisohn
and Oscar 8. Stratus to Mr.. Witte:
'Your correspondent is in position. to
state that Mr.. Witte was most liberal and
sympathetic in his own attitude toward
the Jews, but he frankly expressed the fear
that any other plan but gradual removal
Of the disabilities against the Jews in Russia
was impracticable. The delegation sought
earnestly to impress him with the necessity
Of prompt action in granting to the Jews
not . partial relief, but the fullest civil
rights that are enjoyed by any Of their
fellow subjects. They stated without anv
reserve, and in the plainest language, that
unless this was granted by the Government
the steadily growing influence Of the Jewish
financiers and merchants in America and
Europe would be thrown against Russia
and all things Russian. They also said that
the good will Of the American people had
been lost to Russia because Of its exceptional
treatment Of the Jews for the past twenty
five years, OF which Kishinen. Zhitomir and
the other numberless exoesses were but
the natural outcome, and that their good
win could not be regained until Russia
has actually given equal rights to her Jewish
subjects.
The committee seem to feel that they
made very strong impression upon Mr..
Witte personally. Whether or not the re-
suit Of the conference will have any
practical effect upon the Russian Govern
rnent, the future alone can disclose.
"Mr. Witte averred that the Jews have
the right to vote for members Of the National
Assembly, and that they can even be elected
- members thereof. When this assembly
Is ultimately constituted said he, it will
have the decision Of the entire Jewish ques-
ton, which will come up before 1t, and he
was full Of hope as to the outcome.
@Your correspondent has the very best
authority for stating that all Newspaper
6atements as to discussion, during the
conferences, concerning loan to Russia
IL tho veriest nonsense. Naturally, how
ever. they talked Of the influence that
Russia's attitude toward the Jew would
have upon any financial plans the Gov
eminent may contemplate"

AID FOR SPANISH SUFFERERS.
Government Takes steps to Relieve the
Andalusian Famine.


Andalusian Famine.
Special Gable Despatch to THE Sun.
!, MADRID, Aug. 17.-The managers OF the
railways have complied with the request
Of the Government to give work to the
starving in Andalusia. The crisis is similar
to that preceding the peasant rising In
1852 and other outbreaks which resulted
from famine following the shortage OF
crops.
At a discussion OF the situation by the
Cabinet yesterday Romanonee, the Minister
of Agriculture, described the position as
terrible. 1t was traoeable to the negli-
gence Of centuries, but was now intensified
by the drought. As an aid toward re-
moving the main cause irrigation works
were imperative. bill, therefore, will be
presented to the Cortes when 1t reopens
on Oct. II providing for irrigation works.
Meanwhile the utmost relief will be given
by distributing food, although 1t is limited
that this will only mitigate and not remove
the distress.
In an interview Senior Romanonee said
As Minister am bound to declare that
public order must be maintained but II
were a laborer / should talk differently.
The fact is the Government is systematically
opposed by the landlords whenever 1t tries
to carry out a work Of general utility. Tho
approach Of the elections makes my position
more dificult."
Reports Of suffering and occasional
looting continue to come from the famine
districts. They all bear painful reeem-
blanoe. In some oenters Of population
the employers are no better provided than
the laborers, and they are suffering equally
with their men.
For instance, at Guadalcanal the total
failure of the olive crop owing, to drought,
has reduced the owners to want. The
workers are aware Of this and share the
despair Of their employers. On the other
hand, It is reported that the workers in
the town Of Teba are dangerously inoensed
against the rich proprietos, who have
withdrawn the help hitherto granted.
