PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS INJRUSSIA
CUTTLE FROM
SHORTAGE IN NORTHWEST
GAIN FOR OTHER REGIONS.
A Thousand Carloads of Beeves on
the Way From, the Middle West to
Sound Points.
Tacoma, May 15. One thousand
cars of cattle are being brought to
the Northwest country over tho
Burlington route, from Oklahoma ter
ritory. Not all of these cattle, per
haps, will reach the Puget Sound
country, but they are all beef cattle
and are being brought forward to al
leviate the demand for beef.
Thn situation here is unchanged to
day, though It is claimed that four
cars of frozen meats win arrive uum
Omaha this afternoon, and several
cars of Texas beef cattle are on their
way here.
"It is absolutely Impossible to buy
beef cattle in tho state of Washing
ton," says the representative of one
of the largest packing concerns. "On
account of tho high price of feed and
hay, ranchers have turned their stock
onto the range rather than fatten
them for the market, and the result Is
a practical beef famine."
TENEMENT HOUSE FIRE.
Three Dead, Others Fatally Hurt
Twenty-Seven Families Homeless.
Chicago, May 15. Three were burn
ed to death and two others probably
were fatally injured and many others
seriously hurt at a fire in a West
Chester apartment building early this
morning. Twenty-seven families oc
cupied the building. Tbe blaze start
ed in the basement and was fed rap
Idly by three air shafts. Those dead
were suffocated.
Forest Fires in New Hampshire.
Lancaster, N. H., May 15. Forest
fires continue. A dispatch from Ut
tleton states that 30 houses have
been destroyed. Tho Partridge, a
summer resort, is threatened. Men,
women and children are fighting to
save their homes. Tbe loss is already
$500,000.
London, May 15. The newspapers
here are constantly receiving fresh
details of the massacre of Jews at
Kishineff, Hus?ia, and add accounts
of fresh horrors and atrocities. The
number of dead will reach as high as
125, and fully a thousand were maim
ed and tortured, hundreds of whom
were crippled for life.
The baiting of the Jew in Russia
is something that official Russia must
not be held responsible for. The situ
ation there is in nowise parallel to
that existing in Turkey, where the re
pression and massacres of Christians
on both sides of the Bosphorus is a Bin
planned, connived at and blessed in
the name of Mahomet by the head of
ficials of the Ottoman Empire and
carried out by blind and ferocious
fanaticism.
The persecution of the Jew in Rus
sia is never universal, nor a policy of
the government. The official head of
tho Russian Empire has never sane
tloned these atrocities, but has sought
to curb the spirit which has been re
sponsible for them. An enormous
proportion of the czar's subjects are
abjectly Ignorant, profoundly brutal,
and "havo It In" for the Jew, ami
drastic measures to restrain them 1b
almost equivalent to Instigating a re
volt against the government Itself.
Of late years the repression and per
secution of tho Jew In Russia has
greatly decreased, while tho oppres
sion of tho Christian in Turkey has
steadily Increased,
Washington, May 15. Intense in
dignation Is expressed by officials
hero regarding the masBacro of Jews
by Russians. The stato department
has as yet no deflnlto advices, but be
lieves first reports were not exag
gerated. Secrtary Hays' hands are
tied as, so far as Is known, no Amer
ican citizens suffered.
Therefore he can take no action no
matter how far Slavonian brutality
may go In Its treatment of those of
Hebraec faith. Tho attitude of tho
stato department Is that Russia as a
sovereign power has no moro right to
bo interfered with than HusbIb would
have to protest against negro lynch
Ings or Indiana white caps.

HOT ON THE TRAIL OF THE DYNAMITER
New York, May 15.-A new theory
Is now being worked on by the police
detectives here in search for the man
who last week attempted to dynamlto
the Umbrla. It Is now believed the
man who went under the name of u.
Rosseau while here, was none other
than John Rossow, the notorious dy
namiter, who constructed the lead
pipe bomb used with such disastrous
effects in tho Chicago Haymarkc
riots of 1886. He is also suspected of
manufacturing the bomb thrown in to
the fhambei of deputies of i ranee In
1884
llossow escaped from Chicago im
mediately after the "market
t.ouble. and has never been appro
bonded. He returned to America some
years ago. The Chicago police traced
nlm to Portland, Or., from which
point he started East a few months
aro with an unknown man. Hero all
Sm i lost unless he Is the man
"ho made the Umbrla nttorr.pt to
u-'namlle. The Chicago description-
as ucll ch dcEcrlptlons here tally.
This morning's InvcBtlgatlons lead
to the belief that after coming from
I ho far Northwest he made tho ma
chine In Chicago and brought it to
his boarding place at Thirty-first
street here, where It was charged
with dynamlto and sent on Its deadly
errand. As Rossow Is a great anar
chist leader, all the haunts of tho an-
urchlfltR today aro being searched.
Inspector McClusky believes he Is
still in hiding here.
On Rousseau's Trail,
Chicago. May 15. Another clew
confirmatory of tho now accepted fact
that tho Umbrla Infernal machlno was
mado In Chicago, was secured this
morning, when it was ascertained
that tho batteries used wero purchas
nd here. An excellent description of
the nurchaser tallies closr-Iy with
that of Rousseau, the suspect, all
descriptions showing a fine appear
ing, educated Italian, speaking per
fect English.
