HUMANITARIANS, ALSO, ARE INTERESTED tTansuat Coim I Prompt by Both Charitable Bnstaess Consid erations Letter la to Be Dls trlbated Abroad. WASHINGTON, Sept 17. With the double purpose of protecting the Jew of the Balkan states and preventing the over throw from the Balkan to the United States of a horde of paupers, Secretary Hay haa adopted the courae of appealing to the pow ers of Europe to force one of their chil dren to observe the obligations of humanity In the case of the Jews. The appeal takes the form of a paper, remarkable In several reapecta, which baa been dispatched in Identical form to every embassador and minister of the United States residing In one of the countries of Europe which were partlea to the famous treaty at Berlin of 1878. namely: Oreat Britain, France. Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria and Turkey, marking the termina tion of the Turko-Rusela war and the cre ation, by the direct act of the powers, of the independent Balkan , etates. Because the powers are thus responsible for the ex istence of Roumanla, the culprit In this case, the eecretary of state haa directed the note to them In the hope that they will bring thle government to a sense of its duties to ameliorate the frightful con dition of the Roumanlaa Jews. In a measure this action by the Depart ment of Btate may be traced to numerous petitions from Jewish societies and hu manitarians generally, as well as to the warnings of publicists respecting the grow ing danger of the immigration of degen erates. What the President Wishes. The text of the document Is as follows: nwpA PTM15NT or PTATP!, warhino TON, Bept. 11, 1902. Sir: In the course of of an instruction recently sent to the min ister accredited to the government of Rou manla regarding the bases of negotiation be gun with that government looking to a con vention of naturalisation between the United Btates and Roumanla, oertaln considerations were set forth for the minister's guidance concerning the character of the emigration from that country, the causes which con strain it and the consequences so far as they adversely affect the United States. "It haa aeemed to the .president appro-, priate that these conslderationa, relating aa they do to the obligations entered into by the slgnatorlea of the treaty of Berlin of July IS, 1878, should be brought to the at tention of the governments concerned and commended to their consideration. In the hope that tf tbcy are so fortunate as to meet the approval of the several powers such measures as to them may seem wise may be taken to persuade the government of Roumanla to reconsider the consideration of the grievances In question. Arms Still Open for Blent Kind. "The United States welcome now, as It has welcomed from the foundation of its gov ernment, the voluntary immigration of all aliens coming hither under conditions Bi ting them to become merged in the body pol ltto of this land. Our laws provide the means for them to become incorporated In dlstlngulshably in the mass of citizens and prescribes their absolute equality, wlth the native-born, guaranteeing to them equal civil rights at home and equal protection abroad. The conditions are few, looking to their coming aa free agents, so circum stanced physically and morally aa to supply ths healthful and intelligent material of free cltliensblp. The pauper, the criminal, the contagiously or Incurably diaeased are excluded from the benefits of immigration only whra they are likely to become a source of danger or a burden upon the community. The voluntary character of their coming is essential, hence we abut out all Immigra tion assisted or constrained by foreign agencies. The purpose of our generous treatment of the alien Immigrant is to ben efit us and him alike cot to afford to an other state a field upon which to caat Its own oojeciionaDie elements, me alien com log hither voluntarily and prepared to take upon himself the preparatory and. in due course, the definitive obligations of cltlsen- shlp, retains thereafter in domestic and In ternational relsilona the Initial character of free agency, In the full enjoyment of which It is Incumbent upon his adoptive Btate to protect him. Shoald Be Careful. The foregoing considerations, whilst pertinent to the examination of the pur pose and acope of a naturalization treaty, have a larger aim. It behooves the state to scrutlnze moat zealously the character of Immigration from a foreign land, and If it be obnoxious to examine the causes which render It so. Should those causes originate in the act of another sovereign state to the detriment of Ita neighbors It la the prerogative of an Injured atate to point out the evil and to make remonstrances for, with nations aa with Individuals, ths social law holde good that the right of each is bounded by the right of the neigh bor. "The condition of a large class of the In habitants of Roumanla has tor many years been a source of grave concern to the United States. I refer to the Roumanian Jewa, numbering some 400.000 Long ago, while the Danublan principalities lab red under oppresslve'condltlons which only war and a general action of the Europen pow ers sufficed to end, the persecution of the Indigenous Jews under Turkish rule called forth, In ls7t, the strong remonstrance of the United States.

SAND NOW FILLS THE CRATERS Plre, However, Breaks tint at Various Points of I.e Sonfrlere and Katlves Tremble. KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent. B. W. I.. Sept. 17. Both craters of La Soufrlere have been active since September 11. The top of the mountain Is usually covered with clouds but being exceptionally clear of them this morning two natives named Cummins and Adams ventured to ascend the volcano and reached the summit of Old Crater. September S this crater contained water; It Is now nearly filled with sand and has a funnel-shaped cavity In the center. Cum mlngs and Adams saw flames rising from three distinct placee In the crater. They experienced a narrow escape. The heat on the mountain was Intolerable. The predictions made by American Sci entists with regard to later eruptlona of La Soufrlere ere being signally fulfilled. Much anxiety waa felt here today, as It had been predicted that an eruption would occur. Up to 6 o'clock this afternoon no alarming Indication of an outbreak had been reported. VICTORIA, B. C., Sept. 17. The steamer Hlgo Maru, which was sent by the Japanese government to the scene of the recent eruption at Torlshama, has returned' to Yokohama. According to news brought by the steamer the landing was ef fected with considerable difficulty. The eruption had wrought a complete transfor mation of the island and all the inhabitants and animals had disappeared and no Indica tion was left as to what had become ot them. The highest of three peaks on the island, known aa Komochlyama, had been blotted out of existence and a crater had been formed partly in the place where the peaks stood. The crater la still sending forth a thick smoke of sulphur with awful subter ranean rumblings. A considerable subsi dence was noticeable at the spot where the dwellings of the Inhabitants had stood prior to the eruption. All the lslsnd was strewn with ashes, gravel and boulders, and only about a fourth part of the normal island vegetstlon re mained in existence. GOLD SITUATION UNCHANGED London Banker Dlseonnts Talk of the Last Week and Expects No Large Shipments. LONDON, Sept, 17. "The gold situation has not materially altered during the past week," said a partner in one of the largest banke today, apeaklng to a representative of the Assoi ited Press. "The prospect of gold shipment to New York, at the present rate," he said, " first permits of a profitless transaction. My own Arm, and I think we are typical of the genera) situation In London, is meet ing all American obligations with October coupons of American stock held here. No very large amount of such securitlee are at present pledged In London, and while London will owe New York large sums for actual shipments of merchandise and food stuffs for months to come, I think the larger part will easily be met without any considerable shipment of metal. Under the present ruling of the American treasury, it la easier to takaUbe gold from Australia than to buy the gold la London. This be sides Increasing the American supply re duces the stock In the open market in London." Messrs. Bellgman, who are accredited with participating in the gold ehlpment de clined to discuss the eituatlon, but other houses confirmed the above quotation, and agreed that the margin of profit la entirely too amall to Induce anyone to ehlp gold un less there is some special reaaon behind the transaction.

In a dispatch from Odessa the correspondent of the Standard says: The Russian minister of agriculture and atate domains, M. Vermoloft. has an nounced that he has taken measures for the suppression of the systematic poaching by Americans and Japanese among the seal and other sea animals on the northeastern coast of Siberia. Although anxious to comply with the reiterated requests of Russia, the Wash ington and Toklo governments have failed to put an end to this poaching in Russian water. "Mr. Vermoloff," conctudee the corre spondent, "gives notice thst American and Japanese poachers captured within the lim its of Russia's maritime Jurisdiction on the Siberian coast will be liable to three months' Imprisonment and their ships and cargoes confiscated. This order will be enforced by three gunboate. No discrim ination will be made; the commanders and crews of poachers will be aubjected to the same treatment. On refusal to surrender or attempt to escape, the commanders of ths Russian gunboats sre empowered to fire on and elnk the sea pirates." MORGAN ENGULFS STEAMSHIPS Is Reported to Have Secured Control ot Klne More and London Is Worried. LONDON. Sept. 17.

Huston's C rowd Pnta Ere- ' liver Leader to Itonte 'Here Are Hisses Groans. BOSTON, Sept. 1. icrlmony was not wanting for a time In the democratic state convention in Tremont Temple today, but in the end harmony was restored and the state ticket was enthusiastically greeted. The ticket follows: For Governor William A. Gaston of Boston. For Lieutenant Governor John C. Crlsby of Plttsfleld.. For Secretary of State Wlllmore B. Stone of Springfield. For Treasurer Thomas C. Thatcher of Yarmouth. For Auditor J. L. Challfoux of Lowell. For Attorney General John J. Flaherty of Gloucester. It might be aald that In naming Colonel Boston to the head of the ticket precedent was shattered. Inasmuch as he was nomi nated and given a platform of his own dic tation. Not unlike the famous conventions of 1836. and 1900, the fight was over the na tional Issue on the platform. The test of strength was between Colonel Gaston on the one hand and George Fred Williams, once the stalwart leader of the silver dem ocrats, on the other. In this battle Mr. Williams was utterly routed, with the pre dicted result that be is shorn of all power of leadership. C'hllllnsr News for Bryan. The platform adopted is a repudiation of the Kansas City platform, for Mr. Gaston refused to be the nominee if in any way the declaration of principles could be con strued to endorse those things most prom inently endorsed by the party in the last two campaigns. Mr. Williams was chairman of the com mittee on resolutions and at first proposed the endorsement of the Kansae City plat form. In deference to the protests of Jo slah Qulncy, a member of the committee speaking for Colonel Gaston, he consented to waive the endorsement and proposed planks In which the national question of trusts, monopolies and corporations were dealt with in atrong language. Mr. Qulncy wrote a platform which was acceptable to Mr. Gaston, whose conven tion strength was estimated rightfully, as it proved, at four to one over Charlee S. Hamlin, the other candidate for the nomi nation. In committee last night Mr. Qulncy's draft was accepted by a majority vote of 14 to 7, which was repeated before the con vention opened. Mr. Williams prepared a minority report. Hiss Williams. The convention opened with trouble brewing. It came soon after Mr. Gaston's nomination, when the matter of platform wae brought up. The battle from the floor was one of bitter words, during which the delegates, objelng to Mr.-WllliafW sar castic referencee to certain planks tn the platform, which he said were placed there at Mr. Gaston's solicitation, hissed and cried him down. Throughout the tumult the speaker exultantly surveyed the throng, end when order was restored concluded his speech, to be hissed again when he sat down. The minority report was rejected and the majority report, representing the platform sent out in these dispatches last night, waa adopted by an overwhelming vote. The ticket as given above was then completed. Immediately thereafter Mr. Hamlin, taking the platform, asked that Mr. Gaston's nomi nation be made unanimous, which waa done amid cheers, and the convention adjourned. Williams Keeps I'p Flarht. Before the proceedlnga were opened Mr. Williams made a atatement. In which he said: A man Is not beaten who has not been in a fight? Well, 1 am only lust beginning to tight. I have been lulled Into a false security during the summer ami have been led to believe that Colonel Gaston and his supporters would not make any effort to renounce the policy of the party as laid down at the last national convention. 1 have had distinct assurances to that effect from Mr. Qulncy and from many of Colonel Qaston'a friends. Had It been supposed two months ago that the party would turn Its back on the policies Colonel Gaston could not have got more than one tenth of the dele-gates to the convention. But I have never been beaten by the Boston machine yet. Whenever I have appealed to the people they have sustained me and I believe they will again when the issue la presented. William 8, McNary, chairman of the state committee, called the convention to order. He was elected temporary chair man. The committee on permanent organ ization reported In favor of Congressman Henry F. Naphen of South Boston for per manent chairman. Congressman Naphen on taking the chair said In part: " Calls It Demoeratle Year. This Is a democratic year. The splendid enthueluam In our party and the dissatis faction heard on every slie at the refusal of the administration to grapple with the grave questions of the hour foreshadow victory throughout the land. The reaolu ttona of western republican conventions reveal the disaffection of the party rank and tile. They presage republican party ditsrrslona and a disruption tar more violent than that which deposed the great leaders of a decade ago and completely aliel aled the more courageous spirits, like ex-Gcernor Boutelle. The recent visit of the president, to New England was signalized by a declaration of convictions mure welcome In some par ticulars to our party than to his own. His frank recognition ot the evils of monopoly waa an avowal of democratic doctrine and reflected the persuasion of a maturity ot the people. Those who followed him as he discussed the question with rliKafcliiK. if limited, candor, belonged to no class or party. By yielding to the pressure of public opinion he broke with the forces which control the great republican machine. Talks of Imperial Monopolies. Already we henr expressions of dissent from Intluentlal iuarters In which the poli cies of the republican party are sh-ipej and fixed; the voices of the leaders are heard as If mildly cautioning the Indiscreet canuldate for renomlnatlon. Kehlnd these men are the Imperial monopolies which the president haa ventured to criticise. Tills Is not the llrat tune that President Roosevelt has broken with his party. No president ever apptuled more earnestly to congress than he did In his message on reciprocity with Cuba. A minor Industry hypnotized congress, blocked the will of the executive, caused ua to break faith with Cuba and Ignored the interests of the people. Gentlemen, if one trust of secondary power so Impeded Justice In our relations with Cuba ar.d defied the whole powrr of the administration, what hope of relief can you see In the Roosevelt method of attack, alien it will be realstsd by the united forces of these vast combinations that do not concern themselves wilh na tional honor, moial obligations or Justice.

CAPTURE PIERCE MURDERER Poise Compelled te Ihoot Niejenfind Before He Would Give Up. empties his revolver at pursuers None of Shots Hit Members of Posse NrlirnAnd Wonnded In Many l'laces, hot Likely to Becover. WINSIDE. Neb.. Sept. 17. (Special Tele gram.) Gottlieb Niegenflnd, the Pierce county murderer, in in the doctor's hands. He was shot thts afternoon five miles south vest of here. Thursdsy night of last week he stayed with Henry Carstens, three mll ?s from the scene of the crime, riding to within two miles of here on Friday morn ing with Carstens and then riding four miles south with E. W. Cullen, county ; commissioner. From that time trace of him was lost. This afternoon Liveryman Dave Leary slsrted out to try and locate a suspect that had been aeen In this neighborhood along the road four miles southeast. Two men came up with Gustave Rehmua. They were driving some cattle. Leary thought one ot these men waa Niegenflnd, and knowing Cullen to be at the house of Amos Lease, along the road they aere traveling, he drove along with the rattle to that place. Niegenflnd recognized Cullen and spoke to him. Leaving Cullen and Frank Lease to follow with the cattle, Leary then' went to the house and procured a shotgun and the assistance of Perry Borum, who had a 22-callber single-shot rifle. These two went across the field to In tercept the herd on another road; they had scarcely arrived when the men showed up, advancing along the road. They called upon Niegenflnd to throw up his bands. His reply wss to draw a revolver and shoot point blank at Leary, at the same timo springing behind his companion and using him for a shield. He fired his remaining five loads as soon as his companion got out of the way. The three, Dave Leary, Perry Borum and Frank Lease, poured into Nelgenfind a per fect fusllade until he fell. Seeing that he waa not dead, they pro cured a spring wagon and brought him to town, placing him under the care of the doctor. He hae been recognized by several who knew him when living near Hoskins. He was unconscious when brought to town. Nelgenfind came to the farm of Gustave Rahmua last Friday and hired out as a farm band and has been there since. Loaded Down with Shot. About 11 o'clock Niegenflnd recovered con ecloucncss and the attending physicians say there Is no danger of his dying from the wounds, though be Is suffering great pain. The character of his wounds show there were numeroue shots fired. His left arm is shattered at the elbow, the heavy mus cles of his right, arm are badly lacerated by shot, there Is a- 22-callber bullet wound in his hip, another one In the fleshy part of his right leg and one bullet plowed along the scalp. In addition to these distinctly marked woundg there are scattering shot all over his . body from the blp up. There were a large nnmbea- -of . people from Pierce county in town this evening, but most ot them have gone home. They were quiet and there was no talk of lynch ing. Among the Pierce visitors was the son of Briar, the murdered man, and brother of the murdered woman. He positively Identifies the prisoner as Niegenflnd. He says that neither himself nor the other sur viving members ot the Briar family have slept to amount to anything since the mur der, as they were In constant fear that Nle glnflnd would carry out his threat to re turn and kill the rest of the family. History of Crime. Niegenflnd and his wife bad separated on account of his cruel treatment and she had secured a divorce from him. She resumed the nsme of her former husband, Peters, and went to live with her father, Albert Briar. Nleglnflnd went to South Dakota, where he remained for a time, returning a few days before the tragedy.

It goes no fur ther than Intimating that such a thing may occur. It does not say such a thing does exist. Commenting on this plank. In his address the general says: "It Is a bold declaration that If modifications of the tariff are required lo prevent monopoly from sheltering itself under the wings of protection, then tariff shall be modified to prevent that condition."

If any, extent the republicans of owa are advocating a removal of the tariff on Irust-made or controlled gooda ss a remedial measure, I am unable to speak.
