SUB. ‘WasHiNetoN, May 2.-—-The presi- dent sent to the houss to-day, in re- sponse to the resolution of inquiry, the correspondence between the Uni- ted States and the Russian govern: ment relative to the treatment of Rus- sian Jews. The correspondence is very yoluminous, extending back ten years, and inc‘ut{ing copies of a treaty: and ether documents of -this nature There is a letter from Minister Foster to Secretary Blane, dated July 30, 1881, in which he reviews at great length, not only the treaty between the United States and Russia, but also the treaties of Russia with other countries, pertaining to the rights >f their citizens, and also the laws of Russia relating to Jews. By this it appears that under the laws, Jews were prohibited from coming to or s lling in Russia, but owing to the fact that many were citizens of the Crimea and other dis- tricts obtained by war, the laws were modified, but in portions of Russia the laws yet prevented the coming of Jews, even natives of sections mentioned unless they came as mer- chants or bankers under special per- mission of the government. He says he cannot find any account of the en- forcement of these rules against Americans down to 1860. In that year, by an imperial ukase the laws were modified #0 as to admit other i:lu than those :mfionfi. i;eluding 08e proposing n factories. Secref o xeply, refors to the sreal i 2 thet 7o | ‘countxles, and says that on brdet | formulation of the case the govern- ment believes that under the treaty and its treatment of Russians in this country, it has just cause of complaint regarding the cases of Wiekenzksi and Penkes, the details of whose arrest have already been published. He proceeds to quote the treaty of 1831 in support of this claim, Where the treaty gives an alien certain rights, these cannot be interfered with by local laws. It isa subject of regret that a government to which we are allied by so many historical ties as to that of Russia, shows a disposition to deal with tech- nicalities and enforce the letter ot the law. ‘The principle involved is one net recognized in our laws or by our treatios. It is a new issue in our in- ternational relations, We can make no new treaty nor accept any construe- tion of the prescnt one which shall discriminate against any claass of Americans on account of their re- ligion. Mr. Hoffman replied by letter thaz that he had submitted the letter of Becretary Blaine to the Russian min- ister of foreign affairs and was in- formed that in his opinion the section of the treaty requiring Awmvericans coming here to “submit to the laws prevailing” made the course of that government quite justifiable in the cases mentioned. The next communication given is from Secretary Frelinghuysen to Mr. Hoffmau, in which he says that the prejudice of race and creed having given way to claims to common hu- manity, the people of United States have heard with great regret of the sufferings of Jews in Russia, The president of course feels that the good of the emperor should not be held morally responsible for acts it consid- ers wrong but is powerless to prevent, but should it appear to Mr. Hoffman that the Russian government might put forth more effort to prevent this course, he is directed to indicate with due reference, that the feelings of friendship of the United States for Russia prompt it. To express the hope that the gov- ervment will find means to cause this persecution of these unfortunates to cease. The letter ends by saying: *'If, however, it should come to your knowledge that any citizens of the United States are made victims of per- secution, you will feel it your duty to omit no effort to protect them and to report such cases to the department.’ CAPITAL NOTES.

New York, May 2.—The openi ‘1 performance of the musical festi of the Seventh regiment armory this evening was attended by an audience numbering between 7,000 and 8,000 persons of New York's best society. There are over 7,000 chairs in the ar- mory, oxclusive of seats on the stage, which number 3,200. The stage is built in a hugo semi-circle at the western end of the drill room.

The vast audience showed its appreciation of the per- formers’ efforts by frequent and hearty applause. The concert this evening was one, of the greatest musical suc- cesses in this city, and as there are to be three afternoon and four evening performances, for which nearly all the tickets are sold, it promises to be a gratifying financial success to the pro- moters. _— The Freedman's Bank.

But the wonders of the iron steed ! Yesterday I was in Galveston, to-duy I am in the extreme northof the great state of Texas, threo hundred miles across, and to-morrow I will be iu Shreveport, La., taking the steamor Shilver City for the great Mardi-Grus festival at New Orleans. How strange it seems to northern eyes to be float- ing down the peaceful Red river, through banks of living green, the trees bursting into bloom, in Februa- ry. The sail down the winding, placid river was one charming panorama of beauty, and I arrived in New Orleans just in time to witness THE ROYAL ENTRANCE OF REX, the king of the carnival. Such mad excitement, such firing of cannon, ging of bells, such shouting and hurrahing till throats are hoarse and cara aro deafened, could notbe equall ed in the north, even on the Fourth of July. Mardi-Gras is, indeed, the gala time of the south, The pro- cessions were very brilliant and full of instruction sucient history and mythology. It is said that theso annual pageants of tho Cgencent City rival and even ecli those of of Rome, However this may be, they ought to be magnificent, for hundreds of thousands of dollars are expended upon them. To wy practi- cal matter-of-fact Yankee oyes, the vast sume of money spent render a very small return. But such a sen- timent in the south would be treason. New Orleans is a quaint beautiful oid city, perhaps the most cosmopoli- tep in America, unless I except San Antouio, Texas, Accustomed to the vigorous winters of the north, I could n:ruly realize that in mid-winter lillies, roses, violets and geraniums W clustering about the yards in rix:it bloom.

The ceiling of the church is carved very beautifully, and, shows great lmli»ucu and skill of the build- era. The Mexicans are about 300 years behind the times; their houses are most primeval—four walls, often- times no windows, dirt floors and bare of furniture. They still plow with a stick, and make their wagons—rude, clumay things—out of a great solid blogk of wood, the wheels being at least six inches thick., In fact, the ouly evidence I had that I had not stepped back into the middle ages, but was in a land of civilization under the full blazs of the glory of the nine- teonth contury, was that all the sen- oritas liave THEIR HAIR ‘‘BANGED " But “still westward the star of em- pire tukes way,” and, like tho three wiso men of old, I fellowed the slar to its furthest limit, and for a lit- tlo while the “‘City of the Golden Gate” shall bo our home.

After some little difficulty in locating the fire it was eventually found to proceed from a smail one-story house at the foot of St. Mary's avenue, and on the arrival ot the “department at the spot the flames were to be seen burating in a volume from the doors and windows, the salvation of tho house or any part of it seeming impossible. In a short time, however, three streams of water were got on from the hydrants and the flames were fought with an energy that soon confined them to narrow limits and eventually put them out entirely, without the destruction of the roof or walls of the house, The house belonged to Mr. Dayid Seaman, bartender at the place for- merly kept by Julius Treitschke. During the afternoon Mrs, Seaman had done some washing in the kitchen at the rear of the house, and had had quite a warm fire in the coal stove, but supposed it had died out, so that there was no danger from it, when she lott the house to go up town on an errand, She had been absent an hour when the fire broke out, and it is suppoted thatit caught from the stove- ipe passing through the roof, there Keinu no flue, 1t was first discovered by a neighbor, who found the whole of the inside of the house in flames, when he reached the spot, and at once gave the alarm. The house itself s of no yreat value, and its owner could not be ascertained. Mr. Seaman had_ considerable furni- ture stored away in the cellar beneath the house, in addition to that which furnished the reoms, and his loss will be very considerable, probably in the neighborhood of a thousand dollars, On this he holds an insurance of five hundrgd dollars in the C, T, Taylor agency, which will fall short consider- ably of covering his losses. ‘}’hu department did excellent work, and this being the first fire since the administration of Chief Engineer Rut- ler, it will, if taken as an indication of his ability, go far to show that Omaha will be no sufferer from his appont- ment to one of the most iwportant positions in the city government.
