A RUSSIAN'S CENSURE.
MAXIM GORKI'S ARTICLE.
Scathing Denunciation of the Crimes
at Kiskineff.
Berlin. May 22.-Maxim Gorky, the Russian
novelist, recently wrote an article on the
KishinefT massacres for a Nijnl Novgorod
newspaper, but the censor refused to allow It 3
publication. Gorky then sent the article to the
St. Petersburg correspondent of the "Frankfort
Kielne Presse." which prints It to-day. The arti
cle is as follows:
Russia has been . disgrace more and mora
frequently of recent years by dark deeds, but
the most disgraceful of all is th» Horrible Jew-
Is* massacred Kishineff. which **» awakened
our horror, shame and indignation. People » ho
regard themselves as Christians, who claim to
believe in God** mercy and *>'*'?£*>; **ff c *
people on the day consecrated to the resurrec
tion of their God from the dead occupy th ie
time in .munlertas children and aped peop.e
ravfcnlng the women and martyring the men of
the race which pave them Christ.
Who bears the I lame of this base crime which
will remain on us like a bloody blot for -ages
We shan be unable to wash this blot from , the
.ad history of our dark ******* JS^Ttl
unjust ana too simple to condemn the mob The
latter was merely the hand waich .was *£££
by c. corrupt conscience, driving It to murder
and robbery. For it Is well known that the
no» ut DM was led by men of cultivated
society. But cultivated society in Russia is
really much worse than the people, who are
goaded by their sad iife lad blinded and en
thralled by the artificial darkness created around
The cultivated clashes are a crowd of cowardly
slaves, without feeUns of personal dignity ready
to accept every lie to save their wee and com
fort; a weak and lawless element almost with
out conscience -nd without shame, in spite of
if cle*ani exterior. Cultivated society is not
lcs« runty of the disgraceful and horrible deeds
committed at EMM than the actual mur
derers and ran Miff- ,
Its members* jruilt consist? in that not merely
they dV not protect the victims, but that they
rejoiced over the murder.-; it consists chiefly in
committing themselves for long years to be cor
rupted by man hau-re and person* who nave
lone enjoyed the disgusting glory * being '; ie
lackeys of powe' and the ploriflers of He*, like
the Editor of the "Bessarayetz." of Kishineff.
end other publicists. These are the real authors
of the disgraceful and awful crime of Kishineff.
To all the shameful names hitherto given to
these repulsive men must be added another, and
the well deserved one. of instigators of village
murder. These hypocrites, with the name of
God on their lips, who preach in Russian so
ciety hatred of the Jews. Armenians and Finns.
to-day heap base and cowardly calumnies upon
the corpses of those killed through their in
fluence, and they shamelessly continue their
hateful work of poisoning the mind and feeling
of the weak willed Russian society.
Shame upon thri? wicked heads! May the fire
of conscience consume their decayed hearts,
covetous only ol leckeylike honors and slavishly
obsequious to power!
It Is now the duty ol Russian society that is
not yet wholly ruined by these bandits to prove
that it Is not Identified with these instigators of
pillage and murder. Russian society must clear
Its conscience of part of the shame and disgrace
by helping the orphaned and desolated Jews,
and assisting these rr embers of the race which
has given to the world many really great men.
and which still continues to produce teachers cf
truth and beauty in spite of its oppressed condi
tion in the world.
Come, therefore, all who do not want them
selves to be regarded as the lackeys of the
lackeys, ana who still retain their self-respect;
come and help the Jews.
PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE HOKKORS.
Official Reports of Massacre Contradicted by
the Camera.
St. Petersburg:. May Photographß from
KishlnefT which have been received here, besides
fully sustaining the reports that the worst
atrocities were coinrr.it tel in the outbreak
against the Jews there, contradict the official
account of the massacre and the stories printed
in the Nationalist press.
The people of Kishineff declare that no Chris
tian received a gunshot wound and that there
are no Christians in the hospital. Of the two
dead Christians, one was a boy whose death
was attributed to fright and chronic disease.
The Jews of Kishineff absolve Chief of Police
Khanzbenov and Lieutenant Governor yon
Raaben. who have own dismissed, from com
plicity, but they charge the officials with inertia
and cowardice.
CONFERENCE ON STATUS OF JEWS.
Secretary Hay and Count Cassini Not
Worried by Criticism.
Washington. May —Crank letters are now ap
pearing :n th" mail of the Russian Ambassador,
Count CasslnL They criticise his utterances and
attack his arguments concerning the character of
the Russian Jews. -retary Hay is also getting
iiis share of such communications. These letters,
however, give no serious concern to either the Sec
retary or the ambassador. In fact, owing to the
•watchfulness of private .secretaries, some of the
letters never reach the persons to whom they are
addressed.
Secretary Hay and the ambassador had a long
conference to-day, presumably with reference to
the status of the Jews In Russia and the utter
ances of the American newspapers in regard to
them. As things now eland. It is said that there is
nothing lor the Slate Department to do. as the
Ruts;*;; Government appears to have acted, and
peaceful conditions are reported to prevail in
ScEsarabia. Theie is net believed to be any danger
of a recurrence cf anti-Jewish outbreaks, the Rus
elan Government having given strict orders to the
local authorities, and the latter will be held re
sponsible for further disturbances.
Ac to the threatened immigration to the United
States of swarms of Jewish refugees from Russia,
It is said that the State Department is not called
on to act now. and must await an appeal from the
Treasury, If that department, by the application of
the immigration laws, finds itself unable to keep
cut objectionable immigrants.

CHALLENGE TO CASSIXI.
Jewish Paper Brands Hit AUeged
Statements as False.
WILLING TO FORFEIT $25,000.
The management of "The Jewish Daily News"
yesterday sent the following letter of protest to
Count Csssinl, Kussian Ambassador to the
United States:
The entire press of this country has within
the last few days printed statements in your
name which are a libel upon the Jews or the
whole world, and especially so upon the Jews
of Russia. The statements attributed to you
have rot. in spite of reiteration, been repudiated
by you. name of ten million Jews of the world
"in the name of ten million Jews of the won*
"The Jewish Daily News" brands as false the
charges against the Jews. If you did rot make
the statements attributed to you, we demand in
the name of the truth that you repudiate them.
If, however, these statements; do emanate from
you and you stand by them, then "The Jewish
Daily News" challenges you to a public discus
?ion in a public hall suitable to you, either in
New-York or in Washington, at which discus
sion you will have ample opportunity to prove
i he veracity of your statements and to refute
the arguments which we have presented (and
which we would present at the said discussion)
which tend to discredit these statements pur
porting to emanate from you.
We are prepared to pay all expenses, includ
ing the hall rent and railroad fares, for this dis
cus-inn, and we herewith accord to you the
privilege of selecting: the time and place for this
discussion. We stipulate and bind ourselves
herewith that, in the ev<*nt that three Judges,
.veil known Americans fone to be selected by
you. one by up. and the third by these two),
shall decide that you have proven the state
ments you are said to have made, and which
you have not up to the present time repudiated,
again?t the Jew? of Russia, we will pay over
the sum of 125,000, to be distributed by you
without condition and without limitation among
such charities as you may be interested In.
We herewith bind ourselves to deposit said
Ban of £25,000 with any bank or hanker whom
you may designate as soon as we are in receipt
of your* final acceptance of this challenge and
to Intrust the Raid bank or banker to pay the
rum over to you immediately after a decision
In your favor by the Judees selected as above.
We call upon your manhood to do one of the
two things: Either to deny the statements, at
tributed to you or to defend them publicly, so
that the question of the responsibility of the
massacre— whether it belongs to the Jews of
Russia or to the laws of Russia— !s fettled
finally In the minds of the American people.

REFUSE TO OBEY LAW.
Foreign Ministers at Caracas Make
Strong Protest.
Wlllemstad, Curacoa, May 22.— The president
of the State of Maracaibo. Venezuela, and the
Governor of Caracas have tried to enforce the
new law against foreigners, obliging them to
recognize only the Venezuelan tribunals for the
adjustment of their claims, compelling them to
waive their rights to claim damages for robbery
or pillage perpetrated ty government or revolu
tionary troops, and enforcing oth#r vexatious
measures under penalty of immediate expulsion.
These measures were enforced against British,
German, Italian. Dutch, Spanish and French
citizens. When their respective legations learned
of the fact they sent orders to their consuls not
to comply with the demands of the local author
ities, as the new law was contrary to existing
treaties. The ministers of the powers also called
on Senor Urbaneja, the Minister of Foreign Af
fairs, and protested against the action taken.
Senor Urbaneja promised that orders would be
'.rsued to suspend the enforcement of the new
law. United Ptates citizens were not molested.
If the law is enforced later, complications with
the powers will arise, and it is believed that
rrore than thirty thousand of the sixty thousand
foreigners residing in Venezuela will leave the
country.

GOOD OUTLOOK TOR CHINESE TREATY.
The United States Likely to Secure One
New Port in Manchuria.
Washington. May 22. -Treaty negotiations be
tween the United States and Chinese commis
sioners are again moving forward, and the pros
pect is brightening for a successful issue.
Practically only two points of importance re
main to be agreed upon, but one of these is the
provision for the opening of three new ports in
Manchuria. This has been the most serious ob
stacle to the negotiation of the treaty. It is be
lieved here that there will be a compromise on
this point, and the United States will eecura one
port instead of three, the choice falling on
Tatung Kou. at the mouth of the Yalu River.
MR. MCORMICK'S OPINION.
Quoted as Being Assured of Russia's Sin
cerity in the Far East.
London, May 22.— Ambassador McCormiek is
here fur a few days on his way from St. Peters
burg to America. He sails on the steamer
Kronprinz Wilhelm on Wednesday next from
Southampton with his wife and Miss Patterson.
"The St. James's Gazette" to-day prints art in
terview with Mr. McGormlck, in which he is
quoted as saying:
One of my last official nets before loaving St.
Petersburg was to interrogate the Russian Gov
ernment on its policy toward Manchuria. I was
assured that Russia had no desire to see the
Manchurian ports closed to the United States, or
to have its consuls excluded. The Kussian Gov
ernment was emphatic in declaring that it was
at one with America in the open door policy in
China, and what applies to the United States
must apply to every other power. Your gov
ernment also received and accepted similar as
surances. I know M. de Wltte is a firm advo
cate of the open door, and I have every reason
to believe that Russia is quite sincere in the
matter. She points out thnt it is to her own in
terests to support that poncy. and I think that
is the case. The Russian statesmen are very
anxious that the Siberian Railway shall be a
success, and to be so it must pet freight, and
Treight in large quantities. Russia cannot of
herself supply suJl'ident to make the railway
the desired success
"You do not consider, then, that the. situation
in the Far East is in any way serious on ac
count of Russia's policy in Manchuria?" wag
asked.
"I do not," replied Mr. McCormick. "I can
see nothing at present which' need alarm the
United Ftateß or any other country."
Mr. McCormick added that the relations be
tween the United States and Russia at the pres
ent moment were of a most friendly character.
In answer to a question whether he thought
the United States would view Mr. Chamber
lain's policy in regard to protection with dis
favor. Mr. McCormick paid:
I do not see why the United Ptates should do
so. We have set you the example. The sugges
tion that you give preferential treatment to the
colonies is your own affair. Canada may one
day be able to give you all the wheat you warn,
but not for some time. In the United States,
too, we are a growing Nation, and we are con
suming more of our own products. I believe the
United States will not always send its raw ma
terial In cotton to England, but will offer you
the finished article.

Rome, May 22.— The Pope to-day received in

London, May 22. — In the course of a discussion In
the House of Commons to-day tne Old Age Pension

tion, the Colonial Secretary. Mr. Chamberlain,
spoke favorably of the genera! question of pensions
for the deserving poor. He said it was largely a
financial question. The Secretary thought it might
not be impossible to get the necessary funds,
though, no doubt, there would have to be "'that

Indicated as "necessary and desirable at an early
date."
Mr Chamberlain's statement was gTeeted with

ALBANIANS STILL RESTLESS.
Pacification Doubtful — Feeling Against
Bulgaria Growing.
Constantinople, May 22.— The suppression of
news from Albania engenders the belief that the
government's plans for the pacification of that
part of Turkey are miscarrying. The Albanians
v.ere known to have been planning to attack
the Servian monastery at Dechani, near Ipek,
containing Russian monks, and on the Russian
Embassy's representations the palace author
ities bavt promised to send troops to protect
the monks.
The warlike sentiment against Bulgaria is in
creasing in military circles, and great activity
is displayed by the War Ministry. A division of
reserves at Kaisariych is about to be called out
for active service. Apart, however, from the
probable intervention of the powers, the Sultan
will not permit a conflict with Bulgaria.
It is reported that a Servian revolutionary

and inciting the Servians to rise against the

Baltimore. May 22.— The famous spike team,
the three Eugenes, which were given to Mrs.
Lillian Barr.es Alllen by the late Pierre Lorll
lard, have been sold by her to Fred Halstoad,
of this city. They arrived here to-day with the
same trap and gold mounted harness used by
Mrs. Allien at Saratoga. The horses, trap and
harness only cost Mr. Halstead $1,100. The
harness alone cost Mr. Lorillard $700.
The team is composed of two mares and a
horse, full sisters and a brother, sired by Prince
Eugene, who had a mark of 231%. They are
all bays, with white faces and white hind feet.
Their ages are five, six and seven years. Mrs.
Allien is said to have broken the animals her
self. They were born and reared on the Kan

of the farm are too great for Mrs. Alilen and if
any more of the Lorillard stock will be sacri

of holding an annual mass meeting of delegates
to the various conventions for the purpose of pass

American Baptist Home Mission Society, and that
organization adopted a resolution referring the sub

Tn« Missionary Union adopted the report of the
committee -of fifteen, but refused to vote in favor
of a general mass» xureting of delegates, despite
strenuous efforts of a few delegates to bring this

wail of a house and held him there while they
slapped his face. A friendly expressman drove In
haste to the police station In Fi«h-»t. and the
police reserves from four precincts were seat to
