CONGRESS OP RAILWAY 3IEN" Thousand Delegates From Many Parts of the World. WASHINGTON. April 16. Nearly 1000 delegates, the owners and operating of ficials of more than 400,000 miles of rail way in different countries, constitute the personnel of the International Railway Congress, which is to hold a ten days' Fission In this city beginning May 4 next. At the close of the congress the delegates are to make a thorough Inspec tion of the railways of the United States, particularly with reference to equipment and shops. The congress Is somewhat unique In Its organization, purpose and manner of con ducting its affairs. It was organized in 1R85 and has held sessions every five years Fince. Ite first session, held in Brussels, celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the Belgian railways. Milan, Paris, St. Petersburg and London have been meeting places since, Paris having had two sessions. At the session in that city in 1900 the in vitation of President McKinley to hold the meeting In Washington was accepted. Congress at Its last session enacted ap propriate legislation committing this Gov ernment to participation in the congress. In the absence of President Roosevelt, Vice-President Fairbanks will accept the post of honorary president and open the congress with an address of welcome, af terward extending the courtesies of the Nation to the delegates at the White House. The preliminary formalities over, the congress will resolve itself into five scctiona and proceed with business, in French and in secret. All of the papers to be presented have been under consideration for some years, all have been printed, and the delegates are thoroughly familiar with their con tents. All of the topics to be consid ered arc technical and necessarily devoid of popular interest The honorary presidents representing the railways of this country will be A. J. Cassatt and E. H. Harriman, while the actual president will be Stuyvesant Fish, of the Illinois Central Railroad. The lines these three gentlemen represent touch one another and form a continuous line of rail from the Atlantic to the Pacific, pass ing through the heart of the continent and extending from the Great Lakes to the Gulf.

FLEE FROM THE MASSACRE Russian Jews" Expect Great Slaugh ter at Easter. SPECIAL CABLE. VIENNA, April 17. Another large party of emigrants to the United States has arrived at Galatz. All are Jews, and come from the neighborhood of Odessa. They state that they have fled from Russia because they had received trust worthy information that massacres of Jews are being planned all throughout Central and Southern Russia during the Easter festivities soon to begin. They declare that the plan is to have some one disguised 'as a Jew strike a Gentile woman on the street of each city or town during the holiday merry making. Armed ruffians will be on hand and will make a pretense of chasing the culprit, who has been Instructed to make for a given rendezvous in the Jewish quarter. The mob will then attack the Jews indiscriminately and kill as many of them as they can before the authori ties are forced to act. Thc latter know all about the plans and are expected to aid the murderers in every way they can. although, in or der to "save the face" of the govern ment, they will put down the riot after the damage ha6 been done. The Jews who have arrived here also say that by this plan the Russian government ex pects to pull through the Easter holi days without a revolution. The mobs are expected to be satisfied with per mission to kill Jews and to abandon the work -planned for them by the terror ists. The authorities of all the Russian cities, according to the Jews now. here, arc treating the Jews with unusual harshness in order to make them rebel, if possible. Every person arrested for creating any disturbance is said to be a Jew, and the police officials are trying" to create an impression that every crime can be laid at the doors of the Jews. This stirring up of class hatred Is hav ing Its effects, and In many cities the Jews do not dare leave their houses, ex cepting in the middle of the day. It Is expected that fully 5000 Jews will ar rive during the coming week and will proceed via Vienna and Hamburg to America. BEYOXD THE YELLOW PERIL All Asia Shows Its Hatred to the Natives of Europe. ST. PETERSBURG, April 17.-lz:45 A. M.) The Novoe Vremya prints a dis patch from New York saying that the "yellow peril" is not now derided. Far seeing business men with their eyes on the Chinese markets have, according to this dispatch, finally awakened to the crowing political influence of Japan over China and tho prospect of complete in dustrial domination in the future. Hostil ity to Russia, says the dispatch, contin ues, but it is really not against Russian occupation of Manchuria, and Is duo to the belief that it tends to monopolize the trade of this rich Chinese province. The dispatch says the existence of a secret Chlno-Japanese treaty is already hinted, and adds: "The danger threatens Europe as well as Russia, and if Rojestvensky Is beaten, all the powers, under the leadership of America, may join to make peace." Editorializing on this dispatch, the No voe Vromya says it Is no longer tho "yel low peril" which Europe and America are facing and refers to the words of a French s?.3.nti-vrho, when -asked how long the war would last, replied: "Two hundred years. Europe docs not seem to understand the terrible truth." The Novoe Vremya predicts that the "Enigma of the future historian will he the hostility of some European nations toward tho great struggle between Japan and Russia, which render Inevitable a conflict between Russia and Europe," and quotes the words of the Vice-Governor of Jerusalem on the awakening of the Arabs in Asiatic Turkey to show the deep-seated hatred of ABia toward all Europeans and the eventual menace to Europe not the yellow, but the Asiatic peril. ItlMrt SIEGE IS THE XARVA QUARTER Soldiers Are Guarding the PutllofI Iron Works. ST. PETERSBURG, April 17. (2:40 A. M.) Almost a state of siege exists in the Narva quarter, owing to the suspen sion of the Putiloft Iron Works. Soldiers are stationed inside the works and Cos sacks and police swarm In the surround ing streets. The tension j'esterday was great, especially . when a policeman shot a drunken workman who had drawn a re volver on him, but there was no col lision during the day. The bodies of the two workmen who were accidentally killed at the Iron works and whose funerals their fellows had planned to make a great political dem onstration, were Interred at drydock. Blames the Bureaucracy. ST. PETERSBURG. April 17. (12:45 A. M.) The Son of the Fatherland, now the leading exponent of constitutionalism, forcibly denounces the manner in which. It alleges, the bureaucracy Is trying to defeat the war which all Russia Is wag ing against it. It charges the bureau cracy with Inaugurating a systematic campaign to gag public opinion, instanc ing the recent action against the barris ters' congress here, and the prohibition of meetings of other professional bodies In Moscow and elsewhere, all of which. It declares, is in direct contravention of the spirit of the imperial ukase of March 3, giving Individuals and societies the right to freely petition the throne on the subject of the general welfare. At the same time the paper charges the bureaucracy with Inspiring the local au thorities everywhere to fight the reform movement by setting one class of the population against the other. "All tho efforts of the bureaucracy to still public opinion." the article says, "will be in vain; all the old tricks will be unavailing. It has sown the wind and will reap the whirlwind." Politics Raised n Big: Rovr. MOSCOW, April 16. The Waterworks Congress, attended by 350 representatives from all parts of Russia, opened today with a stormy scene. Representatives of the engineering and other technical so cieties endeavored to divert the meeting to political purposes. Resolutions were offered that the congress refrain from discussing the objects for which It met, "because fruitful work Is Impossible until we can see free life dawn for Russia." The resolutions were rejected, and when order was finally restored the congress "proceeded to the discussion of technical subjects under consideration, Nixon Opens Russians' Eyes. SPECIAL CABLE.
