l0RIMER SIDE GAINS
BY DELAY I'M HEARING

Washington, Jan. 25.-Hearings of
the senatorial committee investigating
the election of Senator Lorimer were
postponed yesterday until next Mon
day. At that time iris said Elbridge
Hanecy, attorney for Mr.. Lorimer, will
have recovered from his illness and
be able to resume attendance at the
hearings. The delay will mean fur
Their opportunity for the Lorimer
forces to prepare evidence to refute
the charges made by William J. Burns,
detective, that Charles MCGOWAN, a
witness who testified in defense of c.
F. Wiehe, received $500 for his testi-
mony. I'VE shall show exactly how
much MCGOWAN got for coming to
Washington and that there was moth
ing improper about it." said Edward
Hines. MCGOWAN was away from
Canada six weeks, being kept in
Washington by the committee for a
long time after his testimony had been
concluded. The IS a day allowed by
the committee did not anywhere near

cover his expenses, and it certainly
would not have been proper to compel
him to pay the balance out of his
pocket. 1t has not been disclosed
whether the evidence gathered by Mr..
Burns shows conclusively that the
payment of money was for perjured
testimony. Mr.. Burns has displayed
strong case that it has been assumed
his evidence must relate to something
more than the mere payment of ex-
pense money"
Mr.. Burns has a considerable force
of detectives in Washington. Mr..
Hines says no less than nine Of them
have sought to shadow him and other
members of his party during the last
few days.

the committee, and attorneys for the
Investigating body, denied Judge A. j

exactly on the same basis as all other
foreign Jews without exception.
Nevertheless, not a single civilized
country ever disputed the right of an
other country to define for itself
classes of undesirables, because under
the principles of international law
this right is the absolutely incontest-
able prerogative of every sovereign
power. Guided thereby, the United
States established exactly in the
same way in immigration acts classes
of undesirable aliens, determined by
qualifications of an economic, sani-
tary, moral, social and even religious
character. American legislation, for
instance, prohibited the entry into the
United States of persons belonging to
religious bodies tolerating polygamy,
whereas Russian legislation does not
see any cause for such restriction.
Still. as | said, such classes of unde-
sirable aliens are defined for itself
by each country. Wherefore, neither
the Russian nor American govern,
ment saw any violation OF the treaty
OF 1882 in the passage and enforce
ment of the aforesaid American i'm
migration acts. This ought TO be
clear to every statesman.
Question-If so, has Russia special
reasons for such discrimination?
Answer - For economic and socia
reasons Russian legislation establish
ed a whole range of restrictions upor
its Jewish subjects. To allow free
entry Of foreign Jews into Russia is
obviously impossible under the cir
cumstanCes. They would then enjoy
/ greater rights in Russia than Russia:
own Jewish subjects. Therein liei
the special reason for the discrimina
ton which Russia practices toward
foreign Jews wishing to enter Russia
must add that existing restrictions
are considered a measure of defense

CLARK ON THE COUNTRY EDITOR

The following is an extract from
the proceedings of the house of rep
resentatives on March 2, 1898. 1t is
well worth reading. The house was
considering the Loud bill, which pro-
posed to increase the postal rates on
country newspapers and to adopt a
number of restrictions on their trans
mission through the mails. Champ
Clark defeated the bill by his speech,
portion of which follows:
Newspapers are great dissemina-
tors of Information. The mammoth
metropolitan papers with their vast
circulation are splendid educators, but
after all ten persons read the little
country weekly where one reads a
metropolitan paper.

Russia's Attitude on Abrogation

Golfers Weekly for the current
week presents an interview with the
Russian premier, NJ. Kokovtsoff, on
the abrogation OF the treaty OF 1892.
The interview follows:
Questiop-Has not Russia afforded
the United States ground for abrogat-
ing the treaty of 1892 by its violation
in excluding United States citizens,
especially of Jewish faith?
Answer-No, Russia has not afford
ed the United States any ground for
abrogating the treaty. The treaty OF
1882 was made exclusively for COM
merCial purposes, and a clause in the
very first article stipulated that Amer
lean citizens arriving in Russia, and
Russian subjects arriving in the
United States. should be subject TO
the internal laws and regulations of
the respective countries. The entry
OF American citizens of Jewish faith
into Russia Is not absolutely prohib-
tied. With respect TO them as to other
American citizens, and in strict &C
tordance with the stipulations of the
treaty, our country enforces certain
rules. These rules were established
by Russian internal legislation which
permits the entry into Russia OF for.
eign Jews only in definite cases. The
rules have been in force ever since
the treaty was concluded, and there
never has been any cause TO doubt
the legality, and there could not be
any, because the enforcement, as be.
fore pointed out, was stipulated in the
treaty itself.
Question-Has Russia treated Amer.
lean citizens of Jewish descent differ
emily in respect Of their privileges UNI
der the treaty than IL has treated
other American citizens not Hebrews
Answer-Yes. Russia has treated
American Jews differently from the
very beginning. II has treated them

for the Russian masses against alien
domination. Concern for such meas
ures of protection must be understood
by the United States, which for sim
liar reasons prohibited the entry of
Asiatics.
Question-If Russia, in administer
ing the treaty, has given the United
States grounds for denouncing the
treaty, why does it seek to penalize
the United States by proposals to in
crease duties 100 per cent on Ameri-
can goods?
Answer-Russia, or, to be more
precise, the Russian government, has
not yet expressed any intention of APP
| plying reprisals toward goods of Amer
lean origin. The proposals for re-
| prisals originated in various quarters,
but the government has not yet indi-
! Gated in any manner its attitude
thereon. The future course of the
whole affair must depend upon the
negotiations which will follow be-
tween the governments regarding the
basis of the new agreement. Propo-
] oClo " liilo pun pOOt must NOAlC iAOAAA
the American government as the side
which declared abrogation.
Question-In view of traditional
friendship, if Russia has not given
grounds for abrogating the treaty, to
what does it attribute the proposal
of the United States for abrogation?
Answer-Only the United States
can answer this question. / noted
that in a recent speech President
Taft declared that he considered the
treaty obsolete, wherefore he notified
us of its abrogation.
When President Taft abrogated the
treaty made with Russia in 1892, the
editor of Golfers conceived it to be
a matter of high interest to American
citizens to know the official views OF
the Russian government upon the &C
ton taken by the president. The an
lnouncement of abrogation, couched
though il was in the language of di
plomacy, and avoiding the assertions
made Objectionable to Russia the Sui
ger resolution passed by congress Dec
IS, was followed nevertheless by
cabled reports that Russia intended
to make immediate tariff reprisals
Accordingly. an authoritative state
ment of the attitude Of Russia became
increasingly a matter of internationa
importance. After a preliminary in
terchange OF messages between a for
mer American diplomat, acting in be
half Of Golfers, and the Russian
court, the editor was informed thai
the premier of Russia, Vladimir Ko
kovtsoff, would make a written re
