SITUATION Is UNIQUE.
Turkish Minister Here-American
Ambassador in Turkey.

1t is a unique diplomatic situation that
America should be represented by an am
bassador at the court of European coun-
try while that country is represented in
Washington by minister. That, however,
is the situation today. John G. A Leish-
man is American ambassador to Turkey and
man Is American ambassador to Turkey and
this capital 1t is not known here whether
it is the intention of the sultan or not to
raise Chekib Bey to the rank of an am
bassador to appoint some other diplomat
of that rank for service in Washington.
The appointment of Mr.. Leishman as an
ambassador was made by the President and
the Senate Internationally. Ordinarily "a
determination of the matter of appointing
an amba ssador is reaclted by the two coun-
tries interested and an ambassador repre-
sentative of the chief, executive of each
country is appointed practically simultan-
eousiy with the action of the other country
In this case Mr.. Leishman was made am
bassador because it was felt by the Presi-
dent and by the Senate that, with ambassa-
dorial rank he better could perform his
diplomatic services in Turkey than he could
as minister.

Special Cahlegram to The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG, October S.-Even
though there is lu!l in the chronic dis
orders of the Russian empire. the Jews
are still being prosecuted and Germans in
the Baltic provinces are sharing the same
fate
The centralgovernment is characterized by
weakness rather than by the lack of good
will, and it is keenly conscious that the
cause of the monarchy is seriously damaged
by popular artificial outbursts against
the Jews. Good will however, is made
quate. Parallel with the anti-Jewish riots
are the anti-German riots in the Baltic
provinces. the anti-Armenian riots in the
Caucasus and the Agrarian disorders in the
rural districts. against all of which the
government is simply impotent.
1t is reported, however. that ministers
are about to take further measures to pro-
tect Jews; but they complain that so long
as the most formidable revolutionary organ
zations are recruited from the Jewish race
and supported by Jewish funds the task is
more arduous than ever before.
Foreigners Exposed to Danger.

measure limiting the percentage of Jewish
children admissible to educational estab-
lshments many young Russians are elim-
mated, wherefore they beseech his majesty

late the imperial will, setting dep,orable

REDMOND AND IRELAND
LIBERAL PAETY DISAPPOINTED
OVER ADDRESS.


Special Cahlegram to The Star.
LONDON, October S.-John Redmond, NJ
p. delivered an address at Grange, County
Limerick, last week which has caused much
distress and disappoint ment to the liberal
party.
Mr.. Redmond, who was warmly received,
said the meeting was great encourage
ment. it showed appreciation of the
work of the Irish party during the last ses-
sion of parliament and of the Importance
and critical nature of that epoch opening
for Ireland in the future. When the
present government came into office they
declared they were about to consider some
scheme for comforting self-goverEment on
the people of Ireland, and in the circum-
stances the Irish party decided it would be
a wise policy to give ministers ample time
to mature their plans. Therefore, the Irish
party confined themselves to pressing the
claims of the laborers and to removing GER
tain administrative grievances. They OBJ
tanned a large measure CT justice for the Ia
borers. but not full one for he did not
believe it would be possible to Obtain a full
settlement of any Irish question from
British parliament. At the same time the
measure was valuable one, granting four
and half millions of money from the Brit
ish treasury at "a per cent, and enabling
the building of 50 COO additional cottages in
Ireland. The bill was an enormous advance.
1t did not touch. however, the artisans and
workers in towns. and therefore did not set
tie the labor question.
The Governments Plans.
The government had declared they were
going to govern Ireland according to Irish
ideas; but they had the gravest reasons to
complain of the action of the government
in this respect. 1t was not fair to blame
them altogether. for no British government,
however able and sympathetic, could ever
govern Ireland according to Irish ideas. be-
cause they did not understand irish ideas.
In score OF Instances the government had
dsregarded Irish public opinion and falsi-
fed the promises given. thereby showing
that it was constitutionally impossible for
any British government to govern Ireland.
The people of Ireland had now arrived "a
a point where they would not stand any
further nonsense from the British govern
ment. Mr.. Redmond in conclusion, said a
little taste of determined agitation would
soon have an effect. At the present moment
the Irish party and people stood face to
face with most critical. delicate. difficult
and yet most extraordinary political sit
uation.
The government, with two or three eXcep-
tons, were avoWed home rulers, and they
were told they would introduce a bill next
year dealing with self-government for Ire
land. This was on the highest authority.
But the extraordinary portion of the stu
alton was that they also were told that this
home rule government was only to introduce
what was called administrative home rule.
He was anxious that the Irish public should
fully understand that the Irish party and he
had no responsibility whatever, directly or
indirectly, for the proposal of any such
makeshift that.
