prepared speeches on the subject but none
OF them have indicated their readiness to
proceed on Monday, it is impossible %

Senator Tillman says, however, that he has
no doubt that some one will be prepared to
proceed when the bill is taken up. He ad-
mts there is tendency in the debate to
lag but attributes it to the necessity for
much preparation i'm discussing the ques-
ton. He stlll insists that as soon as It
becomes evident that the debate is eN-
hausted he will press the bill to a vote.
Should there be an agreement upon the
consular reorganization bill Senator Lodge

during the week, and some debnte on it Is
probable. The Indian appropriation bill
will be reported Tuesday or Wednesday and

Position of the Jews
And the Jews
Recent developments have undoubtedly
prejudiced their position. The emperor
wanted to see justice done and the public
sympathized with theit demand for equality
before the law. but unhappily the attitude
Of the Jews since the emperors manifesto
has alienated much OF the sympathy for
them. II Is undcniable that they have been
guilty OF eNcesses everywhere. that they
were ON the firing line in the revolution
and no longer contented themselves by
asking for equality with the Russians. hut
insisted on the complete downfall Of the
government. This result provoked hostile
sentiment among the Russian people. Had
the Jews concentrated less in the cities ca
condition for which they we're not re-
sponsibe, Il is true) they might not have
been so prompt. As It Is the Russian
masses who believe that they want to
overthrow the emperor are easily melted
against them and reports OF attempts to
inspire massacres during the Eastcrtide
unfortunately are true. Count White has
stood like stone wan against this. His
steadfast friendship for the Jews has sub
jected him to constant attacks. His enemies
have accused him OF being a Jew, Of being
bought by the Jews, etc. When he dis
covered the anti-Semitic agitation he came
to the front and nippcd II in the bud. aud
he is now issuing daily telegrnphic instruc-
tons wherever there is the slightest indica-
ton of Jew batting.
The most important question, however,
and the one on which the future OF the
country and its prosperity depends is the
adoption Of some method for satisfying the
land hunger of the peasants, who comprise
so per cent Of Russias immense popula ton.
