FOOTBALL OF ALL FACTIONS Expert on Immigration Say No Re lief Can "Come Till Lnvr Are Changed, or Jevrs of Runsia Extinct America's Protest. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. July 12. John H. Weber, of Buffalo, N. Y., late Commis sioner of Immigration at the Port of New York and chairman of the special commission authorized by Congress In 18SS to Investigate In Europe the causes Inciting Immigration to this country, was a speaker today before the Jewish Chau tauqua on the subject of "The Status of the Jew in Russia." In his address, Mr. Weber charged the Russian restrictive laws with being responsible for the misery and persecution of which people read and hear. He stated that there would be no peace, no substantial relief for the suf ferers, until the total disappearance from Russia of either the Jew or the special laws directed against him. Taking up the laws regarding the right of residence, which the speaker charac terized as especially hard and oppres sive, he briefly sketched the history of tne official decrees regulating the area within which the Jews were permitted to live during the past 40 years. Summing up the status of the Jew in Russia Mr. Weber said: Condition Worse Than Slavery. "Today he is an alien in the land of his birth, a subject who bears an undue share of the burdens of good government -without the privileges of its meanest cit izens. Fettered in his movements, han dicappd In his vocation, restricted in his educational opportunities, he is unable to protect himself and powerless to success fully Invoke the protection of the authori ties; a slave without the self-interest of o. master to shield him from abuse, he stands helpless, friendless and defenseless against brute force, the irrepressible con flict of the age being government between autocracy and government by the people. The Jew is therefore the sport of the rab ble, the spoil of the official, the football of fanaticism, the buffer against which strikes the wrath of bigotry, intolerance and savagery." After asserting the moral obligation and the legal right of the United States to protest to the Russian government against its treatment of the Jews, Mr. Weber said: "We cannot look with unconcern upon the arrival of the thousands of hunted human beings, who come to us crushed in spirit and Impoverished In substance, to enter into competition with our respected and self-respecting labor. Neither is it an answer to say that we have the remedy lq our own. hands by closing our ports against these people. This would violate our very instinct of humanity and" would -war against the policy which has made this country great and prosperous. The abnormal immigration from Russia is due to the laws and methods of that country -and this gives' us a legal and moral right to object' Hope Lies In America. Referring to the hope that a considerable part of this stream from Russia may be diverted to other lands, Mr. Weber quoted the statement of an immigrant at Kovno: "I am going to America, for in that di rection lies hope. Here I have only fears to confront me. The hope may prove de lusive, but the fears are a certainty. My great ambition Is to breathe, at least once, the free air with which God has blessed the American people." "These," said the speaker, "are the words of n uncultured Jew and these are the sentiments in the heart of every Jew in Russia." Mr. Weber closed by calling the atten tion of those of the Jewish faith to the grave responsibilities falling upon them, due to the persecution of their co-rell-glonlsts, In receiving the thousands who flee from their oppressors and in aiding to establish them In work and business. Continuing he said: "Be patient with these unfortunate peo ple and dd not Judgethem by the ordinary standards. Their lives from the cradle up have been passed under extraordinary conditions. The grown-up generation can never forget their mistreatment, they can not banish fear and suspicion on com mand, but their children can be fitted to to enter on our citizenship and made to glorify your race and reflect credit .on our American institutions."

HONOLULU, July 12. (By Pacific Ca ble.) Although the term of Governor Dole does not expire until next June, campaigning has already commenced in relation to his successor. Reports have been circulated that Mr. Dole will not be named to succeed himself, and a large crop of candidates is expected -early next year. Mr. Dole's friends, however, as sert that his administration meets with the approval of President Roosevelt, and they confidently look for his reappoint ment. None of the gentlemen who would be eager to assume Mr. Dole's Gubernatorial functions has yet been sufficiently bold to come into the open, but It is reported that a number are quietly interesting Washington Influence In their behalf. Native Hawalians are particularly active, and there is already discussion among them of the advisability of petitioning President Roosevelt' to appoint one of their race as the official head of the islands. Patrick A. Dnccy, Lumberman. DETROIT, Mich., July 12. Patrick A. Ducey, a wealthy retired lumberman, died here today, aged 70 years. When the Michigan lumber business began to de cline, he purchased a tract of 30,000 acres of timber In the Adlrondacks and car ried on active operations in that part of New York state until 1895, when he re tired.

BEAVER CITY, Neb., July 12. A ter rific electric and wind storm prevailed here this afternoon, doing much damage to small buildings and windmills. The wheat crop Just ready for harvest was also damaged. The Salvation Army of Kansas and Nebraska, now holding a campmeetlng here, suffered much loss. Nine of its tents were blown down. Com mander Holland was struck by the fall ing tent polo and sustained a serious in Jury, and the camp was flooded. Panic-Stricken Man Drowned. NEW YORK, July 12. The excursion steamer Clifton, running around Manhat tan Island, was In collision this after noon with the Fulton ferry-boat New York. During the panic which ensued two deck hands of the Clifton Jumped overboard, one being drowned. No pas sengers were injured, and both boats es caped with trifling damage. , He Wants to Be Shown That This Is His Duty to His Party and the Country. Special to the Brooklyn Eagle. Buzzard's Bay, Mass. The ex-President, Grover Cleveland, Ms occupying his Sum mer residence here. He is hardly settled, for his removal Is too recent. That might be the reason why interviewers are not welcome, but it Is not. Those who know Mr. Cleveland best know that the ex President regards his annual visit to Buz zard's Bay as a retirement which he Is en titled to enjoy undisturbed. Hence news paper men seeking to discover the state of his mind on public or political ques tions are not welcome. There are a num ber of the craft In the offing, but they have not obtained an entrance to the har bor of Gray Gables, nor are they likely to, if they fly the flag of the press. Mr. Cleveland will not at present talk for publication on political matters, so far as they may be related to him In a per sonal way, and this Is a well-settled vde termlnatlon, not made without serious consideration. By this time the country knows that when Mr. Cleveland has reached a determination after serious thought he Is not easily swerved, so that it can be set down that until matters take a different form than they now have noth ing will be heard from 'him on this phase of politics in the way of an authorized public utterance. And while this is so, nevertheless there are few people In the country who are not anxious to know what Mr. Cleveland thinks of the present situation, and what his future course with relation to It will be. This has been bo ever since the Eagle formulated the demand for his candidacy. And, whether these people are party op ponents, anxious to be able to shape their courses in the knowledge, antagonists within party lines, adherents anxious to subscribe fidelity to the flag If he would but raise It, or that great body of citizens who have thrown off party allegiance and follow conscience. It Is the same. AH want to know. Indeed, there has been a demand that he 'should declare himself, but all such demands are from antag onists within his party lines. Why Mr. Cleyelnnd Cannot Declare Himself. Speaking of this a day or two ago a man who knows Mr. Cleveland as well "as one can another said: "Friends of Mr. Cleve land are not making such demands; they come only from those who would embar rass him and serve their own petty ends. Such demands can only confirm Mr. Cleve land in .his determination to remain silent during these days of development. And, Indeed, I imagine there is enough Adam in the ex-President to refuse to gratify them by an expression. If he were to signify that he would accept the nomination. they would immediately lift up a great shout that they had smoked him out; if he were to say that he would not take a nomination, they would declare with a flourish of trumpets that they had driven him off. Whatever he might say would be tortured to suit their ends." But, after all, if Mr. Cleveland" is af fected by such consideration, It Is merely a contributory and not the prime reason for the stand he has taken. Those who are closest to him know that he does not look upon present, condition as calling upon him for a final and Irrevocable an nouncement. They.Toiow that he Is great ly pleased over the manifestation of the response to the Eagle's demand, not so much because he was the object of it as because he saw in It unmlstakablo evi dence of the tendency of Democratic thought that would lead to a rehabilita tion of the party in the esteem of the peo pje, would bring It back to the old and tried principles and would cast off the er rors and sophistries that had led it Into disaster and nearly Into destruction. Why Mr. Cleveland Is Pleased at Re cent Developments. Those who are closest to him know that the only personal consideration he has permitted himself In this demonstration Is that he saw in it a vindication of the firm stand he took when the party went headlong after false gods and Into strange alliance. They are convinced that Mr. Cleveland believes, from the testimony which "has been put Into his possession, that Democratic sentiment la running In a deep and powerful current In the right di rection, that Democratic conscience has b,een aroused, and that it Is not neces sary that his personality should be ob truded on the situation, and that what there Is of him as a Democratic factor Is to be found in the tenets of the party for which he stands and which he has sincerely tried to enforce tenets which. when closaly adhered to by the party, led It to victory and power, with the possi bility of the application of such princi ples to the administration of government. Therefore there Is no doubt that he looks with leniency and equanimity on the use of his name In giving direction to the movement within the party which cannot fall to arouse among its members an old time love and enthusiasm for the creed of pure Democracy. The Path of Inclination May Not Be the Path of Dnty. It Is doubtful If there is one among those to whom Mr. Cleveland gives bis confidence who Is in any doubt as to what his course "would be were he to consult only his preferences In the matter, and that would be to continue the life he Is leading. They believe that to him tho path of Inclination Is clearly marked out, that as to that he Is In no doubt, but what Is or what may be the path of duty Is another thing, and that the stage Is not yet reached when he Is or should be called upon to take a decisive stand. A year will elapse before the convention will assemble to make a nomination. There are other considerations which, given thought to, must have their Influ ence. Were Mr.' Cleveland to follow his Inclination and at this time declare that he would not accept a nomination, and yet In the final development of the situa tion should be called upon to forego his preference and obey the call of duty, he then might find himself the subject of criticism in that he was not sincere in his utterances, and. Indeed, he might be charged with being treacherous to the am bitions of others which had been In op eration, in the belief that he was not a candidate, and which, not put to the final test. It might be claimed, would have been successful had not his towering iand overshadowing personality been inter posed. Again, If he were to signify now that he would accept, there are many who would feel that they must commit them selves to his candidacy who should main tain a position of free agency to tlic end. These latter considerations are, of course, wholly speculative, as Is this that If such a contingency should arise, which. Is not at all likely, wherein Mr. Cleveland was forced to make" reply to the question so widely and frequently asked, "Will Cleve land tako the nomination?" his answer would be that he didn't know, but that he certainly didn't want It. HIa closest confidants are convinced that Mr. Cleveland, "looking out from the broadest standpoint, does not believe he should be urged into decisive action at present, at least. But such sentiments have not been expressed to any interview er, and will not be. Mr. Cleveland's Attitude. A third term has no Illusions for Mr. Cleveland. The occupancy of four more years of the White House can only mean to him hard labor, great strain and the heavy weight and responsibilities which are almost crushing, certainly to any one but a very strong man. Said a person who has himself occupied high place and stood close to the administration of National affairs: "The fun is all over when the election returns are In, even if success ' follows them." That Mr. Cleveland, who In the nature of things has not so many years to live as he had when he assumed the Presidential responsibilities for the tSale of Men's Fine Cotton $ilR-Trimmed Nig'&t $&irts at 49 Cents.

Perhaps the average American, ac customed to regard the office of President as the most desirable thing on earth, and observant of the struggles men have made and are making to obtain It, may be, In credulous over the assertion that a man to whom It Is at least possible does not de sire It. The late Lucius Robinson once said of the office of the Governor of the State of New York that all there was In It for the occupant was having held It. Mr. Cleveland has twice held the office, and the additional honor that can come to him from another term will not Increase his present state. Cleveland "Will Accept If XeccHHary. The keyword to a determination of what the course of Grover Cleveland will be Is duty. If In the development of events It can be made to appear to him that It Is a duty which he owes to the party and the country, those who know him well antici pate he will accept another nomination and obey the call. He recognizes the ob ligations of duty as few men do. It means much to him. and it will be, as It has been in the nasL swaying with him. All those. then, who wish an answer to the questions can flnd.lt in watching the development of the political situation in the next nine montha What Democracy Should Do. In various utterances, by tongue and pen, Grover Cleveland has left the party and. Indeed, the country In no doubt as to what should be the future policy of the Democratic party, and what principles It should espouse. Disinclined to talk to Interviewers, at least on his own relation to the party, he has been free to speak of party principles. He regards tariff re form as the most Important Issue, and believes that the best assurance of suc cess In the coming campaign Is an Insist ence upon Its old-time doctrine of a fair and beneficent tariff adjustment. He be lieves thousands who have not declared j lrrevocaDiy tneir pariy aintiauons a wait an opportunity to espouse a cause in which tariff reform is made the chief Issue. Hardly second to this is adminis trative reform, and in the recent dis closures at Washington this question has gained an Importance It had not a few months ago in the public mind. Sound money should be an affirmative declara tion and the present financial system per fected by the necessary legislation. WILLIAM C. HUDSON.

A riot which re quired the reserves of three police pre cincts to suDDress broke out tonight In the negro settlement In Sixty-second j street. The trouble was precipitated by the attempt of Policeman Connor to ar rest William Johnson, the leader of a gang of negroes, who were making a dis turbance In the street. The policeman secured his prisoner after a sharp light and was dragging him to the station house when he was assailed by a mob, and volleys of bricks and stones were hurled at him from the roofs of adjoining tenements.
