said, in evident distress, land you

that it was SO.

TO CAUSE PREMIER SToLY

FIGHT ON ENLARGED RIGHTS,
One League, Claiming to Represent 3d.
100000 People, Predicts Big Out
RACES Will Result.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 24.-The
threats by reactionary parties that Jew
ish massacres will be organized if the
rights of the Jews are enlarged are
steadily becoming more definite.
The central council of the league of
the Russian people, claiming to repre-
sent 100000 people, has issued a dec
laration disclaiming responsibility for
the ''outrages which may result from the
just indignation produced by the enlarge
ment of Jewish rights" and has pub
lished the text of 200 dispatches of pro-
test sent to the Emperor.
A Sample of the Protests.
One local organization sends this sam
pie phrase:
1T is dangerous to further test the
gentleness and patience of the peaceful
russian population, which may be
forced, in its defense against the Jews,
to overstep the limits of law and order
and resort to violence"
The publica ton of the reforms is GER
tain to result in a final break between
and Premier Stolypin's administration.
Three Rabbis Made Victims.
A curious story comes from Wilma
to the effect that three rabbis of three
towns in that vicinity interceded for

Gently condemned to death as terrorists.
The governor, it is added, agreed to
spare the lives of the three men if the
rabbis would take an oath publicly in
the synagogues that they believed the
condemned men were innocent. The
rabbis consented and the sentences were
committed.

PRIVILEGED TRAVELLERS.
Danish Roads Compelled to Carry
"Dendheads" PerpetualIy.

Danish Roads Compelled to Carry
"Dendheads" PerpetualIy.
The town of Lauenburg, in Schleswlg-
Holstein, enjoys a privilege which Is
probably unique in the world-that Of
free transit by rail to and from the
neighbOring town Of Buchen. AS the in
habitants number about $500 and the
distance is about nine miles, the costIi-
ness Of the privilege to the railway
companies Is great.
The queer exemption, according to
the London Globe, dates from 1914,
when the Notwithstanding line was
built. The Lauenburgers made great
sacrifices to secure that the line should
touch their town, but the physical diff
cuIties were SO great that the engineers
abandoned the idea and took it through
Buchen, to which town the Danish gov
eminent afterward constructed a
branch from Lauenburg, giving to the
Lauenburgers in perpetuity the right Of
free transit for themselves and their
baggage.
The Prussian railway administration
has several times tried to rid itself Of
this burden, but the courts have always
upheld the right Quite recently a
Lauenburg choral society, made to pay
their fares to Mecklesburg, have ap-
pealed and the courts have ordered the
deduction Of the Bucben portion.

which was driven ashore by the same
storm at Richibucto. Capt. Johansen

When it was possible for a life-saving
crew to reach the derelict, the ships cat

Adeona was bound from Zexton for
Preston, England, with lumber.
