CLEAR VIOLATION OF IxTERNA-

NEW YORK. Oct. 2.-That the
United States can compel Russia to
honor Uncle SANS passports to his
citizens irrespective of nativity. race
or religion was the assertion made by
Congressman William Sulzer and Hen
ry NJ. Goiafogle to a large audience in
the Pilgrim church this afternoon.
Mr. Sulzer declared that without
warrant of law ana contrary to the
spirit of the treaty Of 1892, the Rus
sian government refuses permission
for certain class of our citizens to
enter its borders no matter if their
citizenship and character are youehed
for by the seal of the United States.
They cannot come, and that Is all
there is to 1t; there are no police regu-
lations for this. no state reason. sim
ply blind. unreasoning prejudice
against Jews.
Violates Treaty.
Mr.. Sulzer said that clause of the
treaty Of 1882 expressly stpulates that
citizens of the United States, proper
~. vouched for by passport, are to be
admitted to the country to pass, and
be passed as freely as the citizens
or subjects of the most favored ma :
ton. He and Mr.. Goldfogle have been
working steadily to obtain justice since
1901.
We have succeeded in obtaining
nothing but temporizing." said Mr.
Goidfogle. Il know that the American
ambassador made strong representa-
tions TO the government at st. Peters
burg, only to bo met by temporizing
and evasions. 1t is about time this
should ce~se. Refusal to honor the
passports of respectable citizen oi
this republic Is not so much an insult
to the person concerned; 1t Is an in
suit to the entire country Religion

An arctic explorer recently ap-
preached him with a view to obtain
ing treasury assistance for an expedi-

replied that the proper course for me
applicant to adopt was first to obtain
help from outside bodies of citizens,
such as the stock exchange, and then
to apply, If necessary. to the govern

The explorer withdrew. but was
quickly back in the chancellor's Of

Have you been successful" asked
Lloyd George.

How much money Lave you got
from the stock exchanged"
"Only ESQ.," came the answer, but
with the prospect of great deal
more on conditions which require
the cooperation of the chancellor of
the exchequer."
What are those conditions?"
There were two," said the tray
eler. "One was that they would make
