NEW YORK'S
JEWISH POPULATION

The last great element in present
day immigration is, properly speak
ing, not European at all. but
Oriental, says Burton j. Hendrix
in McClure's Magazine of Nav.
The migration of hundreds Of
thousands of eastern European Jews
to the United States is n of the
stupendoGs facts of modern times.
1t is unquestionably the most far
reaching event in the annals of
Israel since the fall of Jerusalem.
Surely from the standpoint of
numbers, history records nothing
like it.
In the two thousand years that
this people has been homeless.
forcing its presence upon the un.
welcoming Nations of Europe, il
has been subjected to many ex-
pulsIons, many forced migrations;
but never have its comings and
goings resembled the present mass
like movement to the United States.
The expulsion of the Jews from
England, in the reign of Edward l..
is a sorry chapter in their history
yet this edict exiled only about l5.-
600 people, less than one-tenth the
number that landed in New York
last year. The expulsion of the
Jews from Spain by Ferdinand and
Isabella has been tragicaIly de-
scibed by many historians, but il
affected only 1900 souls, less
than o~ne-quarter of the present
Jewish population of New York.
Jerusalem, in its greatest days, con
tanned less than one-sixth the
number of Jews now found in the
American metropolis; indeed,
about one-tenth of all the Jews ir
the world. or 500, 900, live upor

RAISING THE MAINE

The action of congress in passing
a bill making a preliminary an
preparation for the work of raising
the wreck of the Maine is. for
several reasons, highly commend
able. Chief among these is the
opportunity which will be afforded
to give decent burial in national
cemetery at Arlington to the
bodies of the unfortunate men who
were carried down in the wreck of
the ship, and have remained en-
tombed for the last twelve wears
Second only in Importance to the
above considerations are those
which affect the sensibilities, and
particularly the sense Of honor. of
a European power with whom we
are at present and hope ever to be
on terms of friendly understand

Spanish governme mt felt very
keenly the implication that the
destruction of the Maine was
brought about by Spanish agency
an implication which. though
not expressed, yet necessarily fol.
lowed from the finding of our
naval board of inquiry, which con,
Guided that the Maine was de
stroyed not from within, but from
without. I'm the opinion of the
court" says the report. this
effect could have been produced
only by the explosion of a mine
situated under the bottom cf the
ship at about Frame IS, and some
what on the port side of the ship"
Now, although our navy depart

officials were in any way con.

the explosion to the hatred of
fanatics, it is doubtful if this
opinion was shared, or is even We,
held, by the majority of the people
of the United States. Therefore
the raising of the Maine will be
well worth all the trouble and cost
1t will entail, if the thorough
physical examination of the wreck
which can then be made, brings to
light clear evidence that the
explosion was due to int rnaI
causes, thai is to say, to the
spontaneous and, therefore, acct

GOVERNOR FIRED,
RESULT OF JOKE

st. Petersburg. June 1S.-tSpecial. His
exceI1enoy, the governor of one of the
provincial districts, has been asked by
Premier Stoypin to resign, in conse-
quence of a practical joke perpetrated
~ one of the governors subordinates.
Beyond signing documents which he
never read. this governor fulfilled none
OF his duties. He frankly owned that he
detested his work, which he left entirely
20 his subordinates, merely signing the
documents and letters mechanically.
One of the young men conceived the
ioea of drafting a saucy letter to the
premier, and getting the governors sig
nature. The governor duly fell into the
trap, and NJ. Stolypin was astonished to
read that the governor declared his off,
cial business was "sulen work.
Reading on, NJ Stolypin learned that
the governor was not In the least In
terested In the development of the prov
ince, and never read the official docu-
ments. His excelleney further advised
the premier to follow his example and to
devote himself to playing bridge, which
is much more interesting than stupid
politics.
