"The Jews are in very wretched
condition. In Tripolis there are 5000
Jews who live in the direst poverty and
the rest are uncertain Of the future.
Among the hills the situation is, if pos
sible, even worse The Jews there are
victims of medieval customs from which
the Turks have not yet escaped. The
Arabian Sheiks are permitted to plunder
and kill at pleasure. The unfortunates
do not emigrate, since they do not know
where to go. They live scattered among

with their co-religionists on the coast. -

Mehier de Mathuisieulx, in the Jour-

that he claims to be fully reliable Of the
population of Tripoli. They are based
on the last Turkish census and were COM

Turkish official. The total population OF
Tripoh according to this authority,
amounts to I'll, 1899, and Of these 1910
are Jews. There is only slight dis
crepancy between this number and that
given out as the result of an investi-
cation by the Alliance Israelite Univer-
selle. The figure then given was IL, $50.
The Jews are very unevenly distrlb-

in the hilly region. The southernmost
