Special Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON, August 10. 1908.
A correspondent Of the Had Hazman,
the Hebrew daily of wilma. Russia. has
secured an interview with DR.. Max Nor
dau. Asked as to whether it would be
Of benefit to the Jews to bring up the
Of the duma. he said that he was en-
phatically in favor OF bringing in the
proposed bill for giving Jews equal
rights. He admitted there was little
chance Of accomplishing anything in the
BLACK duma." He said that it would
nevertheless be worth while taking such
step. for the reason that attention
would again be called to the terrible
plight in which the Russian Jews find
themselves.
In the course of the interview DR..
Nordau repeated his belief that the ulti-
mate salvation Of Jews and Judaism
rests In the success of the Zionist move
ment. He thought that Zionism now
had better prospects than ever. He said
that the visit Of Herr Wolffsohn to
Premier Stolypin was Of great political
significance. and, as one who was chiefly
interested in the political aspects of
Zionfsm. he said that this visit was of
more Importance than any small work
OF colonization in Palestine.
The Had Hazman recently also secured
an interview with Deputy Raditcsev Of
the Russian duma, and who is one of
the leaders OF the constitutional demo-
cratic party He was asked for his
opinion on the possibility of bringing

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, August 20. 1908.
Announcement is made here of the
death in Jerusalem of Mr.. Mosche Gang
will. the father of Israel. Louis and Mark
Zangwill.
The deceased was born in Russia about
seventy years ago and emigrated to Eng
land as a youth. 1t is worthy of note
that during his whole career in England
it is probable that this head of a notable
family did not possess means which
would be sufficient to satisfy the require
ments of the present aliens act. He was
an assiduous Hebrew student and many
visitors to his distinguished sons former
residence in Kilburn will recall the mod
est figure of Mosche Zangwill porting over
volumes of ancient Hebrew lore. When
nearing his sixtieth year he migrated to
Jerusalem. where he became center of
piety and beneficence, and where no pill
grim of note failed to pay him a visit, his
most recent visitors having been Mr..
Jacob H. Schiff and DIR. Paul Nathan,
while Herr Lilien, the noted Jewish artiSe
took the opportunity of securing sitting
for one Of his artistic pictures. OF late
years he was compelled by failing health
to become a frequent inmate of the Bikur

Though he began life in poverty and
suualor, without any hopes of the future,
Mosche Zangwill lived to derive happi-
ness out of the success and fame of his
three sons. Israel. beginning his career
as an underpaid teacher in a Hebrew
school, became the foremost writer OF

LONDON, August 29.-For eight cardi-
nails to get together anywhere outside of
Rome is unprecedented in these days. and
especially SO In London. where there has
been no such gathering since the refor-
nation 1t is barely possible that there
may be nine Of them in attendance at the
Eucharistic congress which assemblies In
Westminster Cathedral September o and
matters of interest to the Roman Cath
Ollie Church. but >Ae attendance of eight
is assured.
The nineteenth in the series of these
annual meetings IT will be the most i'm
posing of all. for there will be more cere-
mony in connection with this London as
sembly than at the eighteen which have
preceded it. the pope having given per-
mission for the celebration in the cathe-
dral Of a high mass according to the
Greek rite. Many features of the con-
Eress will be unique but this mass the
most of all. perhaps. for ii is rarely al
lowed. Even at Rome. where brilliant
church functions are tolerably numerous
on the occasion of the celebration of the
feast of st. John ChrysOstom was remem-
bered for many q day.
Some of the church dignitaries are al
ready here. More will come within the
next day or two. and when they have all
assembled there will be found in the list

Sydney; Cardinal Lecot. Archbishop of
Bordeaux; Cardinal Fischer. Archbishop
of Cologne; Cardinal Mercier. Archbishop
of Mechlin; Cardinal Ferrari Cardinal
Archbishop of Toledo, and Cardinal Vim
cenZo Vanutelli. the latter to be the papal
legate.
Cardinal Vanuteli is not unknown in
England, for several years ago he was the
conspicuous figure in the opening of Ar
magh Cathedral, but on this occasion he
comes as the representative of the pope
the first time in over 800 years that the
country has been thus honored. In fact
it is over three centuries since an English
cardinal instituted a legate's court in
