Washington, July 10.-SecIetary Hay
was in further conference with some
of the Jewish leaders, and communi-
Gated to them the presidents desire
that they should call at Oyster Bay
next Tuesday to consult respecting the
disposition to he made of the Jewish
petition to Russia. The secretary took
occasion to emphasize the presidents
desire that there should be no further
delay in the submission of the peti-
ton; that it shall be ready next week
1t is probable that the course to be
pursued Will consist in the dispatch
of cablegrams to Riddle United States
charge at st. Petersburg, directing him
TO inquire of the Russian government
whether it is willing to receive a peti-
tiOn, the nature of which will be brief
ly outlined by Riddle, and further pro-

Manchurian Matter to Walt.
The president has decided that the
matter of the Jewish petition must be
finally disposed of before any further
effort is made here to compose the is
sues arising out of the Manchurian
situation. Therefore it is now said that
nothing is likely to be done in regard
to Manchuria until next September,
by which time, according TO the last
Russian engagement, the evacuation
of Manchuria by Russian troopS-save
railroad guardS-should be complete
1t is understood that the Russian gov
ernment has set up as one reason for
not sanctioning the opening of new
ports in Manchuria the necessity of
allowing her first to complete the evac-
uation of Manchuria. and although the
reasoning is rather obscure on that
point it is understood that our gov
ernment is willing to wait until Sep
tember before making the next move

His Mental Faculties UnImpaired.

This buOyancy of spirit was consid-
cred to be one of the principal CO
efficients in the struggle with death
which this admirable old man has
made in the last seven days. The
doctors. previous to the alarming at
tack of the afternoon, said there was
not the slightest dimlnution in the
acuteness of the pontiff's mental facul-
ties, as shown In q remarkable man
ner when the pope insisted on going
over some of the larger questions of
church policy laid before him by Car
dinal Rampolla, the papal secretary of
state.

Yesterday,s Sudden Relapse.

The news of the sudden relapse of
the pope. the consultation of physi-
clans, and the alarming bulletin which
followed, was an unexpected thunder
bolt in what had already become, in
the public feeling, an unclouded sky.
The idea now prevails that this brings
to a definite end all of the bright hopes
which were cherished. Professor Ros-
soni went through the most careful ex-
animation of the illustrious patient,
employing what is known as the Bac-
celli system.
The consultation lasted over two
hours. The patient, as one feature of
the investigation, was made to pro-
nounce the Italian word ''thirty-three"
(trentatre), which in a case where
there is indicated the presence of a
badly acting heart, vitiated circu-
Iation and serum in the pleura, to any
one listening at the patients side pre-
sents a sound as if the consonants
in the word ''thirty-three" had been
dropped.
The experiment unfortunately proved
not only the presence of fluid in the
Rleura, but it's rapid augmentation, so
that it already afflicted the patient
with the same disturbances that were
observed on last Tuesday. 1t was evil
dent that another operation would be
indispensable, but no decision on this
point will be reached until after an
other consultation.
A state of great prostration has en-
suad renderincr worse the affection of
the kidneys. 1t is likely that an in
lection of salt water into the veins
will be resorted to. The diarrhea
which appeared and occasioned the
consultation has nov. ceased.
