questions must be answered. One of
these is; WHAT is your religion2" IL

the passport affirms that he is a Jew
or an atheist the instructions Of the

1t was not until 1865 that the United

with Russia for violation OF the spirit
Of the treaty, but by 1880 violations
had become so numerous that the ques-

Washington, ID. c.. Dec. 30-The story
Of The fight which eliminated in the

eminent Of the intention of the United
states To abroSare the lcreatv of 1892
is one of unusual interest in the his
tory OF american diplomacy. 1t is a
story that goes back perhaps so wears,
yet II reached the acute stage within a
moe4h OF the time of its elimination.
The sentiment which resulted in its
abrogatlon was soltdified through a Sc
ries of public mass meetings held in
gu Of the important cities OF the coun-
try
At these meetings prominent men OF
every religious belief protested earnest
iy against an American citizen being

his religious belief since religious free

pies Of this nation. 1T has been assert

this consul, a favor that otherwise
would have been denied him. even upon
appeal to the Russian ambassador in
Washington.
A number OF prominent Hebrews have
testified to being denied a signature to
their passports. One of these was
Louis J. HorrOWitz, the vice president Of
the urn who erected the big union sta
ton at Washington. Mr.. HorroWitz
was born in Russia, but came TO Amer
lea at the age Of Is and for more than
l6 years has been a citizen Of the United
states. Being obliged to go to Eng
land on business. he decided also to go
70 RUSSIA, 70 visit his birthplace and to
Investigate various matters connected
with the proposed contract between the
Russian government and his company
regarding the construction of q rail-
road station. When his passport was
presented at the Russian embassy to
be viseed the question was asked, rs
the applicant q jew? Upon an affirm
alive answer being given, the signature
was denied.
The abrogation of the treaty with
Russia does not imply hostile relations
between the two countries. A number
of treaties between the United States
anc other powers have been abrogated
for various reasons, and in no case have
they brought about a war. The abroga-
ton has generally led TO a new treaty
satisfactory to both. a new treaty with
Russia would in all probability make
some provision Tor the recognition OF
the rights Of all classes OF American
citizens.
Russia's Excuse.
Russia excuses its objection to the
admission of Jews to its territory by
asserting that they are a menace to the
welfare Of the nation for social, politi-
cal and religious reasons. The Russian
authorities point ont that the United
states denies admission to Chinese be-
cause their labor is believed to be So
cially detrimental, TO anarchists because
medan Turks because polygamy is a
part Of their creed Russia further con-
tends that according to the decisions Of
the highest legal autl 1lty, 10 treaty
can take precedence over the laws ezisf-
ing in either OF the countries mazirss is,

some quarters that the abrogatiOn of

In the past employees OF Congress-

months in the year but whose salaries

one months extra pay from CRATE

An odd plan is on foot to make the
Colorado mountains sort OF proving

OF course there are good many kinds
of agriculture in Alaska that 40 not

established success, both scientifically
and commercially. Hundreds OF tons
of potatoes, oats and cabbage are
grown and sold in the territory each

A Miniature Edition of Winter

Farmers and merchants, in fact,
every body rejoiced over the rain that
struck this territory last Sunday.
Early Sunday morning it began to
drizzle, the light rainfall being accom-
panied by tightening and an &C.
cassional roar of thunder. The rain
began to increase during the forenoon
and at about o'clock in the after.
noon in slight snowfall. The wind
increased considerably during the
evening and from eight O'Clock Sun
day night to early Monday morning
there was q regular January blizzard
en- miniature.
The rainfall averaged half an inch
in Minnesota and the Dakotas.
The rain was widespread, encom-
passing the Northwest, from Wyoming
to Lake Superior, eastward to the
Atlantic coast and southwark to the
Gulf of Mexico, so that accruing ad-
vantages will be country wide.
Coming il steady fall all Sunday,
the rain though not particularly
heavy, moistened the entire north
western grain belt, where the surface
of fields is already soft so that the
water was quickly absorbed a short
distance in the earth to later permeate
further where roots of growing things
will flourish. 49,.
