St. Petersburg. By Cable.?Reports
received by the ministry of the interior
indicate that the precautionary
measures taken to prevent anti-Jewish
disturbance durintr Caster week when
the ignorant are aroused easily to a
sort of religious frenzy against the
Jews by the dissemination of false sto- 1
nes regarding "blood atonement" will
result in the avoidance of serious
trouble. In spite of the precaution.*,
however, it Is considered possible there |
tiiay bo attempts at rioting, but the
authorities will suppress these with a
strong hand.
The following private telegram was
received today from Odessa:
"Reports of anti-Jewish disturbances
which always are common at Easter
time, causes more ala-m than usual
this year because of the occurrences
last year. The Jews here are nervous,
hut the authorities have confidence in

and humane man. as well as in
Huron Kaulbars. commander-in-chief
of the troops In Russia. Under the eir?
unistances. therefore, anything like a.
serious disturbance is regarded ns impossible.
"The official newspapers have published
strongly-worded warnings and
tlit city is placarded with notices that
all who disturb the peace will be severely
punished."

Important Decisions.
Two decisions have been rendered
by the United States Supreme Court,
says the Springfield Republican, with* ;
in a few days, both going to establish j
the rule that a person traveling on a j
i <-?_ iiiiniMu puss. or nis netrs. cannot
recover damages in case of aecident.
where such a condition is specified
in tho terms printed upon the
pass. It makes no difference whether
tlie user of the pass understood the
conditions or not. It might b" supposed
that this would tend to discourage
the demand for and use of passes,
hut such will probably not bo the
case. So strong Is the passion in
most persons for getting something
for nothing that almost any amount
of risk would be ventured for the
sake of riding free.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS
Gorman Uses Plain Language About
The Administration.
Senate.
The Senate Wednesday ticgan > onsidrr.it
ion of tlie pcstoffh appropriation
1 Ml ami it was tho signal for a revival
of the Democratic demand for an it?vcstigation
into the charges of corruption
in the Postoffice Department.
The debate was initiated b> Mr. Gorman.
who spoke for almost two hours
in criticism of the course of the Republican
party in the Senate in refusin;;
an inquiry. Mr. Gorman referred to
i In hasty consideration and report of
the- hill and asserted that there had
I i i'ii persistent denial of the investig.-tion
uf tin affairs of the Postoffice
department. He urged that it was not
yet too late to take steps to prevent
"further rohhery" and thievery in the
1 epartment.
"It is said." he went on. "that ConMoss
must adjourn speedily; thai from
rise source a request amounting to orders
has gone out: that it is inconven*
nt for one branch of the government
;<> have Congress on its handn; that
I ' there is delay there are likely to he
-agreeable inferences from what has
already been developed.
"We have reached a time when there
is much preac hing of honesty and highn.tndedness.
but corruption bubbles
out. It came like a fog. and has not yet
lilted and we cannot tell whether all
t i? information is yet out."
Mr. Gorman referred to the charges
made by the Postoffice Department,
saying he believed they had been made
lot the purpose of diverting attention
from the guilty ones who had filched
| money from she Treasury and abused
their trusts. As for himself he was of
, tl opinion that the members had not
Ij gone more in the matter than their
j public duties required. Mr. Gorman
1 railed attention to the habit, of itici.-ir.g
men engaged in executive work
j and lie concluded that thist eriticism
I grew out of a well-directed effort to
j I oil.I up a one-man. Czar-like govern;
tin nt.
"So far. In-.ieed. had this plan progressed
thai leg lrttion lias come to
I he practically a farce, all Important
: i : -n: s liein^ dictated by the exe. 11i
t vi . It was coming to he that only an
executive order was necessa y to get
j : i appropriation. The result is that
i Consrrss heroines a mere recording
! body.
'We are told." he continued, "that
having approved the plans of the exit,
live we must adjourn and go home
1> at se of tlie fear of damaging disclosures.
The fear is so great tliat we
.1 to be sent away and not to be allowed
to do anything."
lie then referred to some of tlrpending
legislation and included in the
list Mr. Foraker's hill for the amendment
to the anti-trust law regarding
transportation. He referred to Att<
rney General Knox's statement re
mm im.-i III1I. ^.JVIIIK I Mill II was HOI
.1 department measure. "Think of it."
sai ! Mr. Gorman. "Notice is given to
Congress thai nothing should he done
| i i the way of legislation without con|
suiting the administration."
| The American people do not want
one-man control. Mr. Gorman contended.
He hoped that stteh action would
he taken as would prevent one-man
control in the next four years, whosoeve
might till the White House.
Mr. Gorman closed with the de< iara|
tion of the conviction that tiie Post|
office Department was "honey-combed
! with corruption and inefficiency."
Mr. Penrose. chairman of the committee
on post offices, said that while
he had originally favored an investigation.
he ha? now reached the conclusion
that none was necessary.
Mr. Penrose challenged the accuracy
of Mr. Gorman's statement that extraordinary
haste had been exercised by
[ the committee on postoffices in the preparation
of the bill. The subject matter
of the measure had been receiving
attention. he said, since Inst Decern hcr.
Mr. lsxlge sustained Mr. Penrose's
statement that there had been u?> undue
haste in bringing the poatoffice
hill into the Senate. It was true that
thf committee had done all in its power
to promote an early adjournment.
"The party in power." he proceeded.
"has deemed it best to bring about
an early adjournment if it could be
done. So far as I am aware there have
been no instructions received from anybody
in any quarter. I was not on this
ide of the chamber that the expression
"cuckoo" originated. That word
is chargeable to the Senator from Alalia
ma and applied to his side of the
chamber." it also should lie brone in
mind, ho said, that the charge that a
President has said that he wanted to
ccj Congress off his hands was to be
traced to a Demo rat!" President, and
Mr. Gorman bad gotten bis Presidents
mixed.
