 We arraiga the government of the czar tonight before the bar of ctyi. lization for great crimes against a common humanity declared Mr. sal- ger in his opening address. According to reliable testimony, he said. more than 100. .000 innocent Jews, Poles, Films and Armenians, guilty of no wrong, had been barbarously butcher. ed to make a Russian holiday:
 Declaring that this slaughter still continues. Mr. Sulzer continued:
 Official Russia is responsible for these awful atrocities. I charge, on my responsibility as member of ] congress, that it is solemnly alleged, and not denied, and there is 8 wide spread and prevalent, feeling through out the world that it is true, that these terrible crimes of rapine and pillage and devastation. that these brutal atrocities and that these mon- strCus murders are secretly connived at by the Russian ruling classes the grand dukes-and that they are : instieated. directly or indirectly, by i high officials in Russia. for religious and political purposes.
 Russia can not avoid the awful and tremendous responsibility. I hope what We do here, and what We say l here. will reach the ears Of the cring. ing czar and his corrupt cabal of grand dukes believe that our pro- test. our condemnation and our de. nunciation will be heard in ST. Peters. burg and that the Russian govern nent will see to f that the wholesale butchery of the innoeents is stopped.

 We have saved the Russian empire
