many jews in jerusalem the population of jerusalem to day Is I 1 should suppose double what it was twelve years ao a o the increase being attributable entirely or almost en to the influx of jews by far the greater part of whom come from rus rua sia it Is somewhat difficult to iscer tain exactly what the population of the city or how a large a part of it is jewish one of the best informed and most reliable of the jewish citizens told me in converset conver sat on that there were probably few fend er than 30 jews and that the common estimate of 50 or 60 was exaggerated but I 1 fund found later that Is own printed fig ures in an almanac which he be published reckoned the jews of jerusalem at 60 50 the best informed outsiders claim that there are at least jewish families in the city which would sup port the larger estimate if this figure be correct then the jews of jerusalem are more than twice as numerous as all the other inhabitants moslems and christians combined new york post
