Washington. July 2.-The position
of the administration regarding the
proposed transmission of the petition
of the Jewish citizens of the United
States to the Russian government was
made very clear and positive by a
statement authorized by the State De-
partment last night.
This statement was inspired by
newspaper publications rejecting the
attitude of the Russian government in
the event of the presentation of such
a petition through the medium of the
United States embassy at st. Peters
burg. which had been brought to the
attention of high officers of the govern
ment 1t was given very careful con-
sideration both here and at Oyster
Bay before decision was reached to
make any declaration regarding the
matter. The statement authorized by
Russia Is as follows:
THE Associated Press is authorized
to state that the Russian government
most positively and absolutely denies
the report that 1t has offered any Of
ficiai explanation to the American gov
ernment. either through the Russian
embassy at Washington or the Amer
ican embassy at St. Petersburg. re-
garding the Kishineff incident and de-
clafes that.it has never been addressed
by the American government on the
subject. The Russian government
must categorically refuse to receive
from any power any petitions. repre-.
sentations or communications relative
to its internal affairs"

thorized the following statement;

marked the proceedings of the Repub-
lican convention yesterday, all of its
action being by unanimous vote with
the exception of the nomination of

/. platform adopted, speeches were made
which indicated that the Republican

the state superintendent, for which Of
flee Mr.. Riggs was nominated on the
third ballot, his opponents being pres
ent Superintendent r. c. Barrett OF
Usage and H. l.. Adams of West Union.
Senators Allison and bolivar. who

principles; but Congressman Lacey of
the Sixth district, and Congressman
Cousins of the Fifth. spoke in opposi-
ton to tariff changes.
While the action of the convention
was entirely harmonious. botn wings
of the party are claiming victory Gov
ernor Cummins and his supporters say
that to-tay's tariff plank contains in,
substance all that is found in last
years plank. while the ''stand-patters'
are congratulating themselves upon the
elimination of the shelter to trusts
clause which attracted so much atten-
tion to the Iowa platforms of 1901 and

HANNA DISASTER s.'ts
GROWS IN HORROR

Hanna, Wyo., July 1.-THE number
of men entombed by the coal mine ex-
plosionsT Tuesday is now known to have
been 234, and but five bodies have been
recovered. The mine is SO full, of gas
that men cannot penetrate it to search
for bodies. All hope that any are alive
has been abandoned. Danger of fur
ther explosions under present condi-
tions. with consequent loss of life
among searching parties.a prevents
their entering the mine. Because of
this danger the entrances have been
enclosed and guards stationed to pre-
vent mourners or visitors from ap-
preaching the mine too closely. ~
AS soon as ventilation can be secured
there will be vigorous effort to thor
oughly search the mine for the bodies
of the hapless miners now scattered
throughout the slopes. Flames are said
to be raging in the lower workings Of
the mine and it is now. believed that
most. if not all of the bodies in the
mine will be consumed and the great
mine ruined unless. the fire is. quickly
extinguished. -

Denver. July 2-The American
Smelling and Refining Company Tues
day formally refused to grant eight
hour shifts to the employees of the
Grant and Globe plants. This answer
was made through Manager F. Gutter
man, who discussed the matter with a
committee representing Denver Smelt-
ermens Union No. SO.
Discussion between the manager and
the committee over the question was
not made public by either side. but
Manager Guiterman said Tuesday af-
ternoon that he would. within forty
eight hours, issue statement, setting
forth the reasons why eight hours can
not be conceded by the company.
The committee which interviewed
him will report to a meeting of the un
ion. Whether the organization will
endeavor to force the concession by
striking is unknown. The secretary OF
the Western Federation of Miners. Will
liam Haywood. said he was not pre-
pared to say what course would be
pursued. The Federation is said to be
behind the smeltermen in their de-
mand.
The two plants employ 800 men. and
about 700 of these. it is claimed. are af-
fliated with the union. At a meeting
Tuesday night the smelter men decided
to take no formal action until Mr.. Gut
terman's reply had been received.
The following is the text of the de-
mand. which was presented three weeks
ago. in the absence of Manager Gutter
man in New York, where he was at
tending meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the company. and at which
time the company's policy in regard to

quest that. beginning July l, 1903, a

and twelve hours in and around the
