URGES JUSTICE TO THE JEWS.
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

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*

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.
