SMTttory Hay Appeals to tha Pc wars Foi Amelioration of Vajuut Laws. Washington. D. C.?With th? double purpose of protecting the long-suffering Jews of the Balkan States and of averting the very present peril of the immigration into the United States of a horde of paupers. Secretary Hay has adopted the unusual course of appealing to the Powers of Europe to force Rouuiania to observe the obligations of humanity In the case of the Jews. The appeal takes the form of a State paper, remarkable in several respects, which has been dispatched in Identical form to every Ambassador and Minister of the United States residing in one of the countries of Europe which were nit-ties to the famous treaty of Berlin of 1878. namely, Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia. Italy. Austria and Turkey, marking the termination of the Turko-Russian War and the creation by the direct act of the Powers of the Independent Balkan States. Because the Powers are thus responsible for the existence of Roumanla the Secretary of State has directed the note to them In the hope that they will bring this Gorernment to a sense of Its duties towards civilization at large as well aa to cause It to ameliorate the frightful condition of the Roumanian Jewa. In a measure this action by the Department of State may be traced to numeroua petitions from Jewish societies and humanitarians generally, aa well aa to the warnings of publicists, respecting the growing danger of the Immigration of degen AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL OPENED. 0 " II Tb?

L?One of the moat Imnr riant nolltlcal conference* of re * cent jean was held in the home ol President Roosevelt The men engaged In the conference were the President, Postmaster-General Payne, Senator M, A. Hanna. of Ohio; Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts; Senator Nelson W. Aldrlch, of Rhode Island; Senator William B. Allison, of Iowa, and Senator John C. Spooner, of Wisconsin. As a result of the conference, it la stated on reliable authority, Mr. Rooserelt has decided not to call a special session of Congress to revise the tariff; be will continue to maintain his stand in regard to the trusts, and be will still lnalat that reciprocity be granted to Cuba. He la to give bis views and Intentions in regard to this subject on bis Western trip. The first question taken up in the conference was that of tariff revision. The President declared himself as favoring a conservative revision of the tariff, but not at the present time. He said It was impossible, in his oplnldn, to make a thorough and careful revision of the tariff during a short session. The' President declared, most emphatically, against any radical revision of the tariff, and said he wanted ' changes made only on such articles as ' It could be shown were too highly pro* tected. Furthermore, President Roosevelt 1 said be did not believe It should be made an Administration measure before the long session of the Pifty-eightb r Congress. > Upon the trust question it was most ' difficult to reach an agreement The * President announced that he was opposed to any policy on the trust ques tlon other than that enunciated In his > speeches. * Senators Hanna and 8pooner wen* 1 two of the men who opposed sny rad<Ml n tha fmifa It mi finally decided that the President should nee hit own dlicretlon In handling the question. He 1? to arte a constitutional amendment and to pledge himself to direct the Attorney-Genersl to prosecute vigorously under the existing laws any trust that can be shown to hare violated those laws. On the question of Cuban reciprocity I it was agreed that the President should i clearly enunciate his position in his speeches through the beet sugar States on his Western trip- He will argue that reciprocity should be granted the people of the island, because it bad been promised them, and because it was part of the policy of President Mcginley. The strike situation in the coal region was not discussed, according to s member of the conference. | MILLIONAIRE KILLEO BY VIOLENCE. | NlebolM Flib, X?w Tork Baiktr, Victim of Saloon QumHTbt A mats.
