Interview With Witte.

Nor was the reason ever explained otrlcial-
ly, but Count De White, while he was at
Portsmouth, making peace with Japan, sent
for half dozen prominent Hebrews and
promised them that he would do his best to
hurry the matter to a conclusion.
He said that the subject was under con-
sideration by the ministry, but they were
compelled to go slowly because 1t involved
several serious considerations. The laws
relating to the Jews of Russia fill volume
of LOO pages and it would require great
deaisof time and deliberat1on to revise them.
1t would not do to repeal them all, and
place the Jews upon the same footing as
the members of the Greek and Roman
Catholic churches, although he did not
make the reasons clear; and he said that
the government was compelled to decide
whether the proposed changes should take
place gradually, or at some future date,
at once. This must be determined be-
fore anything further was done, because,
If the regulations that govern the Jews
were to be changed at once, 1t would be
necessary to make certain preparations. If
they were to take effect gradually it would
be necessary to make other preparations.
No doubt, he said, the Jewish population
Of Russia are ready for emancipation, but
1t is very serious question whether the
members of the Greek Church are ready to
have them emancipated. The Christian
population of Russia, a mass, are pos
sessed of bitter prejudices against the
Jews. They are Unborn and inherited and
cannot be eradicated for generations. There
are a great many fanatics among the
Christians, and they are chiefly responsible
for the masSacres that have taken place.
Therefore the government is compelled to
consider the probable effect of proposed
notifications upon this class of the popu-
lation, for If it should show any radical
disposition, riots and massacres would i'm
mediately follow.
One of the gentlemen present suggested
that 1t was not probable that there would
be any riots or massacres If the promises
of Count Cassini to Secretary Hay that the
passport regulations should be revised
were fulfilled, and If Jews We're permitted
to come and go across the borders of Rus
STA like Mohammedans, Buddhists, Taoists
Greeks, Armenians and Protestants. No
other race, no other religion was pro-
scribed, and the members of no other faith
were compelled to have special passports
Count De Witte was informed that Score
tary Hay had the most solemn assurances
that this restriction should be removed
and the promises were not hampered by
any conditions or stipulations whatever
He admitted that such was the case and
promised, upon his return to Russia to
hasten the matter as rapidly as possible
But neither he nor the car nor any other
official has done anything except to refer
the subject to the douma

RETAILERS TO MEET.

Call Has Been Issued For Convention
in Des Moines January % and "a.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Jan. 15--A call has been
issued for a Retailers convention, of
which w. II. Gentner of Pennington,
Ia, seems to be the moving spirit to
be held at Des Moines, Tuesday and
Wednesday, Jan. 90 and "a. The OBJ
ject is set forth in the call as follows:
The object of this convention is to
bring together the retailers of Iowa
and adjoining states to discuss the
present situation of the retail business
in its relation to the mail order house
competition, and to take the initial step
to organize the retail merchants of
Iowa and other states.
The scope of such organization shall
contemplate the uniting of many thou
sand retailers in all lines in the II
states nearest Chicago and from such
other states as choose to join us, into
a regularly incorporated company.
The object of such organization, in
brief shall be to eneble it's members
to buy all classes and lines of mer-
chandise at the lowest possible cost
and to realize the fullest possible re-
turns for all kinds of country produce
to such who handle same in connection
with their retail business.
We sincerely believe that in this way
the mail order competition can be fully
met and eventually overcome, and that
this is the logical solution of the mail
order question as effects the local re-
taller.
While there are plans formulated for
this proposed organization, none Will
be adopted until after fully discussed
and approved by the convention.
The question is too intricate to admit
of mentioning here in detail or even in
a most condensed form, the plan of
any proposed method of organizing in
all of its qualifications, as it would re-
quire too much space, and would be, by
many, misconstrued, and liable to mis-
representation by opposing interests,
but will DE made clear to all at the
convention and be open for discussion.
We wish it clearly and fully under
stood that this is to be q convention of
the retailers and by the retailers and
"grafters" "schemers." machines"
and systems with personal objects
in view will not he tolerated or per-
mitted in this meeting. None but le-
ultimate retailers will be recognized,
except such persons specially invited
to be present. Absolute honesty and q
square deal to all must characterize
the proceedings of this convention.
Gov. Albert B. Cummins has con-
sented to meet with us in this conven
ton and give us his views on the ques
ton of organizing.
We wish to state that this movement
is in no way connected with county.
state or national organizations, as its
object is distinct and separate from
any association whatsoever.

Special to Times Republican.
Clinton, Jan 15.-Iowa anglers are
heartily in sympathy with the bin in
troduced by Representative Theodore
legislature, more especially those who
live along the Mississippi river, and
will unite in the hope that the measure
will be adopted and enforced. Rep
resentative Carstensen's bill is calcu-
lated to protect game fish in the creeks
and sloughs tributary to the Missis-
sippi, wherein the fish are in the habit
of breeding. The law as it is at pres
ent gives permission to seine fish from
the waters of the Mississippi" The
fishermen set up the claim that the
sloughS and bayous tributary to the
parent stream are really waters of the
Mississippi, hence declare that they
have a right to operate their small
mesh seines in them and take the fish
out by wholesale. An incident which
came to the notice of Representative
Christensen induced him to frame up
and present the bill. He learned that
Camanche seiners chopped holes in the
ice at a slough called the 'Redford."
and took 1890 pounds of fish from the
water, shipping their big catch to Chi
cago, where it was easily disposed of
at big profit. Fish and game wardens
and deputies seem to be powerless to
prevent these avaricious fishermen
from devastating the streams of their
finny deniZens, and every year hook
and-line angling is becoming poorer.
vides severe penalties for the violators
of the law in this regard
Sportsmen In the eastern part OF the
state would also like the law to apply
to the state game warden and his dep
uties They claim their fishing
grounds are being despoiled for the
benefit of people living near the lakes
and streams in the interior part of the
state. They are especially bitter over
the present methods adopted in taking
fish from the running sloughs and
bayous. They believe the state warden
has no more right to take the fish from
these places than he would to trans
port them from Clear Lake to the Mis-
sissippi Formerly only the smaller
fish were taken, but now everything,
the largest bass and crop
pies are seined and transported. These
bayous never freeze solid and many of
them are running sloughs larger than
the inland rivers and the fishing which
was formerly excellent every year is
ruined by these agents of the state.
