[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington , May 17, 1893 .

Representations made here that Russian Government is about to enforce edict against Jews, which will result in a large emigration of destitute people of that class to the United States.

If there is foundation for what we hear, you will please ascertain and report as speedily as possible the terms of the edict and its probable effect.

Gresham.
