Washington, Sept. IT With the dou
ble purpose of protecting the ions
suffering' Jews of the Ualkan states
and of averting the ever present peril
of the immigration into the United
States of a horde of paupers. Secre
tary Hay adopted the unusual course
of appealing to the powers of Europe
to force one of their children to ob
serve the obligations of humanity in
the case of the Jews. The appeal takes
the form of a state paper, remarka
ble in several respects, which has been
dispatched in identical form to every
ambassador and minister of the United
States, residing in ont- of the coutries
of Europe, which were parties to the
famous Berlin treaty c.r 1S78, namely,
Great Britain, France. (Jermany, Rus
sia, Italy, Austria and Turkey, mak
ing the termination of the Turko
Russian war and the creation by thi
direct act of the powers of the inde
pendent Balkan states. Because the
powers are thus responsible for the ex
istence of Roumania, the culprit In
this case, secretary of state has di
rected the note to them, in the hope
that they will bring this government
to a sense of its duties towards civ
ilization at large, as well as to cause
it to ameliorate the frightful condi
tion of the Roumanian Jews. In a
measure, this department of state, may
be traced to numerous petitions from
Jewish societies and humanitarians
. generally, .as well as to the warnings
of publicists respecting the growing
dangers of the immigration of degener
ates. The document, which is dated August
11th, eays in part:
"The United States welcomes now. as
it has welcomed from the foundation
its government, the voluntary immigra
tion of all aliens coming hither under
conditions fitting them to becoae
merged in the body politic of this land.
The purpose of our generous treatment
of the alien Immigrant is to benefit us
and him alike not to afford to another
state a field upon which to cast its own
objectionable elements. It behooves
the state to scrutinize most jealously
the character of the Immigration from
a foreign land, and if it be obnoxious
to object, to examine the cause?
which render it so. Should those
causes originate in the act of another
sovereign state, to the detriment of its
neighbors, it is the prerogative of an
aged state to point out the evil and
make the remonstrance; lor with the
nations as with individuals, the social
law holds good that the right of each
is bounded by the right of the neigh
bor. The condition of a large class of the
inhabitants of Roumania has for many
years been a source of grave concern
to the United States. I refer to the
Roumanian Jews, numbering some 400,
00. Long ago, while the Danubian
principalities labored under oppressive
conditions which only war and a gen
eral action of the European powers
sufficed to end. the persecution of the
indigeneous Jews under Turkish rule
called forth in 1872 the strong remon
strance of the United States. The
treaty of Berlin was hailed as a cure
for the wrong, in view of the express
provisions of its forty-fourth article,
jrescribing that 'in Roumania, the dif
ferences of religious creeds and confes
sions shall not be alleged against any
person, as a ground for exclusion or
incapacity in matters relating to the
enjoyment of civil and political right,
admission to public employments, func
tions and honors, or the exercise of the
various professions and industries in
any locality whatsoever.
"With the lapse of time these Just
prescriptions have been rendered nuga
tory in great part, as regards the na
tive Jews, by the legislation and mu
nicipal regulations of Roumania.
Starting from the arbitrary and con
trovertible premise that the native Jews
of Roumania domiciled there for cen
turies are aliens not subject to foreign
protection, the ability of the Jew to
earn even the scanty means of exis
tence that suffice for frugal fare has
been constructed by degrees until near
ly every opoprtunity to win a liveli
hood is denied and until the helpless
poverty of the Jew has constrained an
exodus of such proportions as to cause
general concern.
"The political disabilities of the Jews
in Roumania, their exclusion from the
public service and the learned profes
sions, the limitations of their civil
rights and the imposition, upon them of
exceptional taxes, involving as they do
wrongs repugnant to the moral sense
of liberal modern peoples, are not so
directly in point for my present purpose
as the public acts which attack the in
herent right of a man as a bread-winner
In the ways of agriculture and
trade. The Jew are prohibited from
owning land, or even from cultivating
it as common laborers. They are de
barred from residing in the rural dis
tricts. Many branches of petty trade
and manual production are closed to
them in the overcrowded cities where
they are forced to dwell and engage,
. against fearful orders, in the desperate
struggle for existence. In short, by the
cumulative effect of successive re
strictions the Jews of Roumanfa have
become reduced to a state of wretched
misery. Human beings so circum
stanced have virtually no alternatives
but submissive suffering or flight to
some land less unfavorable to them.
Removal under such conditions is not
and cannot b the healthy. Intelligent
emigration of a free and self-reliant
being. It must be, in most cases, the
mere transplantation of an artificially
produced growth to a new place.
"The teachings of history and the ex
perience of our own nation show that
the Jews possess in a high degree the
mental and moral qualifications
conscientious citlzenhood. No class of
immigrants is more welcome to our
shores, when coming equipped in mind
and body for entrance upon the strug
gle for bread, and inspired with the
high purpose to give the best service
of heart and brain to the land they
adopt of their own free will. But when
they come as outcasts, made doubly
paupers by physical and moral oppres
sion, in their native land, and thrown
upon the long suffering generosity of a
more favored community, their Immi
gration lacks the essential conditions
which make alien immigration either
acceptable or beneficial. So well is this
appreciated on the continent that even
in the countries where anti-semitlsm has
no foothold It is difficult for these fleeing
Jews to obtain any lodgement. Ameri
ca Is the only goal.
"Putting together the facts now pain
fully brought home to this government
during the past few years, that many
of the inhabitants of Roumania are be
ing forced, by artificially adverse dis
criminations, to quit their native coun
trv; that the hospitable asylum offered
by this country is almost the only re
fuge left to them; that they come
hither unfitted, by the conditions of
their exile, to take part in the new life
of the land under circumstances, either
profitable to themselves or beneficial to
the community; and that they are ob
jects of charity from the outset and
for a long time, the right of remon
strance against the acts of the Rou
manian government is clearly estab
lished in favor of this government.
Whether consciously and of pupose or
ot, these helpless people, burdened
and spurned by ther natve land, ure
forced by the sovereign power of Rou
mania upon the charity of the United
' States. This covprnment cannot be a
' t iclt party to such an international
wrong. It is constrained to protest
against the treatment to which the
Jews of Roumania are subjected, not
alone because it has unimpeachable
isround to remonstrate against thd re
sultant injury to itself, but in the
name of humanity.
"The United States may not authori
tatively appeal to the stipulations of
tht- treaty of Berlin, to which it was
rot and cannot become a signatory,
but it does earnestly appeal to the
principles consigned therein because
they are the principles of international
law and eternal justice, advocating the
broad toleration which the solemn
compact enjoins and standing ready to
lend its moral support to the fulfill
ment thereof by its co-signatories, for
the act of Roumania itself has effective
ly joined the United States to them as
an interested party in this regard."

President tiomocr Believe the
Strike Will P.nl Tliroiish AKree
ment. Wilkesbarre, Pa., September 17. Pres
ident Gompers of the American Federa
tion of Labor in a statement issued to
day, takes a hopeful vie'v of the strike
situation. The statement is as follows:
"At this time it is impossible to say
-sadly when the strike will terminate,
but after careful inquiry into the situ
ation at the mines, I anj convinced that
the struggle will end by agreement.
The wage earners and the general pub
lic are generously contributing to the
aid of the miners. It is essential that
this aid be extended and continued.
"If the manhood of the miners is to
be maintained they must at Ipast have
bread for their wives and little ones as
well as for themselves. The declared
attitude of the presidents of the an
thracite railroads has not apparently
changed. Despite this fact I am fully
convinced that the strike will end
through agreement, with improved con
ditions for the miners, and the union
maintained."

Birmingham, Ala., September 17. The
republicans of Alabama today nominat
ed the following ticket:
Governor J. V. II. Smith, of Birm
ingham. Lieutenant Governor. Charles P.
Lane, of Iluntsville.
Attorney General W. II. Harm
broucht, of Mobile.
Secretary of State J. II. Carter, of
Cullman.
Auditor T. B. McNair, of Marshall
county.
Treasurer H. Lee Brown, of Conuef
county.
Superintendent of Education J. C.
Fonville, of Crenshaw county
Commissioner of Agriculture T. B.
Morton, of Fayette.
J. W. H. Smith is a son of the late Hon
R. V. smith who was republican govern
or of Alabama during the reconstruc
tion period and is a prominent lawyer
of this city.
The platform as adopted re-affirms
the Philadelphia platform, favors "the
organization of labor for its legitimate
protection and the enactment of laws
for the peaceable and fair settlement
by arbitration of disagreements as they
may arise between organized capital
and labor, favors child labor legislation
relating to work in cotton mills; con
demns "the spirit which seeks to arouse
prejudice of the people against the rail
roads" and advocates tne "enactment
of laws so regulating the railroads as to
adequately protect the interests of the
people but is opposed ..o any drastic
measures.
The platform then "endorses the wis
dom of the Dineley tariff Jaw" and
urges a continuance of th-jt policy. Re
publican legislation to build an inter
oceanic canal is approved.
"Bravery and heroism of our soldiers
and sailors in the Philippines are ap
plauded and the attacks of the demo
cratic party on them is condemned
Thp platform then expi esses confidence
in the administration of President
Roosevelt and says: "We express our
faith in his thoroughly American, and
patriotic ideas and we believe that his
leadership establishes conndence both in
the success of republican principles and
the continued prosperity and progress
of the country and we therefore favor
his re-nomination to the ?reat office he
fills with patriotism and aoility."
National Committeeman J. W. Dim
mick and State Chairman William
Vaughan are endorsed.
There was some opposition to the en
dorsement of President Roosevelt for
re-nomination, due to the recent action
of the president in removing William
Vaughan, retiring republican state
chairman from the office cf district at
torney for North Alabama, for alleged
neglect of duty. A sub-platform omit
ting the endorsement was voted down,
however, 153 to 146, and the original re
port .dopted by a large majority.
In a resolution which was adopted the
republicans of Alabama accept the new
state constitution but disclaim all re
sponsibility for its enactment.
Massachusetts Democrats.
Boston, September 1J. Acrimony was
not wanting for a time in the demo
cratic state convention in Tremont
Temple today, but In the end harmony
was restored and the svate ticket was
enthusiastically greeted. The ticket
follows: ,
Governor William A. Gaston, of
Boston.
Lieutenant Governor John C. Crosby,
of Pittsfield.
Secretary of State. William B. Stone,
of Springfield.
Treasurer Thomas C. Thacher, of
Yarmouth.
Auditor J. L.Chatifoux. of Lowell.
Attorney General John J. Flatherty,
of Gloucester.
It might be said in naming Colonel
Gaston to head the ticket, precedent
was shattered, inasmuch as he was
nominated and then given a platform of
his own dictation. Not unlike the fam
ous conventions of 189S and 1900, the
fight was over the national issues on
the platform. The test of strength was
between Colonel Gaston on the one hand
and Geo. Fred Williams, once the stal
wart leader of the silver democrats, on
the other. In this battle Mr. Williams
was utterly routed, with the predicted
result that he is shorn cf all power of
leadership. The platform adopted is a
repudiation of the Kansas City platform
for Mr. Gaston refused to be the nomi
nee if in any way the declaration of
principles could be construed to endorse
those things most prominently advo
cated by the party In th last two na
tional campaigns.
Mr. Qulncy wrote a platform which
was acceptable to Mr. Gaston, whose
convention strength was estimated
rightfully as it proved, at four to one
over Charles H. Hamlin, the other
candidate for the nomination. In com
mittee last night, Mr. Quinces draft
wa3 accepted by a majority vote of 14
to 7, which was reported before the
conention opened.
Mr. Williams prepared a minority re
port. The convention opened with the bill
brewing. ; It came soon after Mr.
Caston's nomination when the matter
of platform was brought up. The bat
tle from the floor was one of bitter
words, during which delegates object
ing to Mr. Williams' sarcastic refer
ences to the last platform which he said
were placed there at Mr. Gaston s -soli
citation, himself had cried him down.
Throughout the tumult the speaker
exultantly surveyed the throng and
when order was restored, concluded
his speeech to be hissed again as he sat
down.. The minority report was utter
ly defeated.
The platform was made public last
night.
Another Incident before closing wa3
the rejection of the report of the com
mittee on the balance of the state
ticket and the acceptance of the sub-
list brought in by a minority of the
committee. The reason given was that
the majority gave too many offices to
men In the eastern part of the state.
Immediately thereafter Mr. Hamlin
taking the platform, asked that Mr.
Gaston's nomination be made unani
mous which was done amid cheers and
the convention adjourned.

Greensboro, N. C. September 17.
Before the assembling of court this
morning the formal memorial services
were held by the bar, and resolutions
reported by the committee- appointed
for the purpose, relating to the loss by
death since Lts't court of Judge John
Gray Bynum and Judge David Schenck.
Colonel James T. Morehead presided,
and in reporting the resolutions, the re
marks made by Mr. t. S. Brad-haw for
Judge Bynum and Major Charles Sted
man for Judge Schenck were feeling,
expressive and in perfect taste.
When court convened Solicitor A. L.
Brooks presented the action of the bar
to the court, and said that no bar In
the state has ever had so great a loss
in so short a period as these two dis
tinguished Jurists and splendid men.
Judge McNeil, in ordering the re
solves spread upon the records of the
court, said that the loss was not con
fined to Guilford, but extended through
out the state.
Following are the resolution:

esteem and in the loving remembrance
of those who knew him best and loved
him most.
