STATEMENT FROM DEPARTMENT
OF STATE OUTLINES ADMINS
TRATIoN,s POSITION.
MEMORIAL WILL BE SENT
UNOFFICIAL INVITATIONS OF AT.
TITuDE OF RUSSIA WILL NOT
CAUSE ANY DELAY.

Washington, July 2.-The position
OF the administration regarding the
subject Of the proposed transmission
of the petition of Jewish citi'
zens of the United States to the
Russian government was made very
clear and positive by a statement
authorized by the state department
last night. This statement a in.
spired by newspaper publications re
flecting the attitude of the Russian
government in the event Of the presen.
tation of such a petition through the
medium of the United States embassy
at St. Petersburg, which had been
brought to the attention of high officers
Of the government. 1t was given care
full consideration both here and at
Oyster Bay before a decision was
reached to make any declaration re.
garding the matter. The statement is
as follows:
The delay in forwarding the petition
of the American citizens of the Jewish
faith as to the ill-treatment of their
~coreligjonists in Russia was solely due
to the delay in furnishing the address
to the state department by the peti.
TONERS.
The state department would, OF
course, pay no heed to any statement
purporting to emanate from the Rus.
sian government. unless such state.
ment was made off oially in some form
or other to our own government.
Department Has Been Careful.
The state department has been are
full to act only in accordance with ali
requirements of official propriety, but
within the limits thus laid down, it
will most certainly not hesitate tc
give expression to the deep sympathy
felt, not only by the administration
but by all the American people, fol
the unfortunate Jews who have been
the victims in the recent appalling
massacres and outrages.
The foregoing statement was made
by a high official Of the state depart.
ment in the absence of Secretary Hay
In this connection it was pointed
out by another official, who disclaimed
to speak in his official capacity, how.
ever. that it seemed somewhat strange
to say the least, that "the Russian
government would choose this par
ticular method of making a statement
to the American people at this very
time when by methods certainly the
reverse of friendly to the United
States it has sought to make China
join in breaking the plighted faith Of
all treaties as to open door in Man
churia and has ~endeavored to bar oul
people from access to Manchuria
trade"
The above statement was shown te
Count Cassini. the Russian ambassa'
dor. but he declined to make any com
ment on it. Any reply to this state
ment must be made under direct in
structions from st. Petersburg. 1t is
realized both at the state department
and at the Russian embassy that the

MRS. A. B. COVE,
An Old'Tims Resident Of Olympia, Dies at
Oakland, Cal.

Announcement of the death of Mrs.
Capt. A. B. Cove, in Oakland, Cal,
last week, brings to mind of many
old residents of our city the rapid
flight OF time. 1t seems but as yes
terday to many when the clipper ships
Live Yankee and Sarah Warren made
regular trips to Olympia from San
Francisco. line on which the genial
skipper, Capt. Cove. was one of the
most trusty and trusted commanders.
Capt. Gove's home was in Olympia,
and he, and his wife who has Just
passed away at the age OF IS years, re-.
sided in the building lately converted
by Winstanley & Blankenship into a
fruit and bookstore, on Main street,
in this city. They constituted then
the central figures of a social throng
that was entertained at close intervals
by the visit OF one or the other of the
ships named.
Mrs. Cove. having much time at her
disposal and from inclination to lead
useful life, taught school in the
early days, and there are quite a num-
Der OF people in advanced life who sat
under her ministrations OF school-book
lore.
Capt. Cove died several years ago,
and since that time, deceased has
made her home with her..daughters,
Mrs. Merrill. at Berkeley, and Mrs.
Hyde, OF Oakland, Cal. During her
residence in California, Mrs. Cove had
been actively engaged in reformatory
work. She was at one time Superin-
tendent OF Prison Work for the w. G..
T. u, and was for a time Assistant
Chaplain of San Quinten.

Passes Away.


Passes Away.
Samuel b. Crockett, who died at his
home at Kent. on the Goth ult., at the
age of 81 years, came to this Coast
in 1S45, consuming six months
time in the long journey across the
plains. He was born in Virginia, and
came from Revolutionary stock. He
first emigrated to Missouri, where the
soil was productive but wages q mere
pittance. He crossed the plains in a
company of 500, arriving at Van.
couver, on the Columbia, Oct. Is,
1874, and the next year he settled on
= claim just south of Olympia. In
1848 he caught the gold fever and
went to California, returning after
siege with malaria to his farm more
content than he had been. In 1851
he succeeded in inducing his relatives
to come 10 the land Of promise. After
helping build grist-mill at Turn
water, q big undertaking with the
crude appliances ut command, he
moved to WILDLY Island, with his
father and brothers, who occupied do
nation claims near Conpville and
Crockett Lake. Mr.. Crockett took an
active part in the Indian war of 1856,
and served term in the Legislature
of 1867. He moved to Hood River,
Oregon, about % years ago, to engage
in fruit raising in that much lauded
region for that occupation. 1t was
there that he married Miss Matilda
Lloyd, and in due time 8 son was born,
which died in infancy. Twelve years
ago he moved TO Kent and built his
last home in the State of his adoption.
His death came on THANKSGIVING day,
after q lingering illness.

the cut.and-dried proceedings. John
A. Rea, the platform builder, was
chosen for Chairman and Henry OFT
for Secretary. The usual committee
were appointed and submitted the
usual reports, which we're adopted with
the usual precision, without "peep"
from the disgruntled niue representing
the dissen tiers who had adopted brigand
propensities in the primaries; in fact
the rising statesman of that ructation
made q motion to consider the nomi.
nation of Mr.. Richardson unanimous,
which act of magnanimity made the
machine fairly buzz with harmonious
satisfaction. The other nominations
which followed were made on the
same ratio of 80 to 8, and were as fol.
lows: Attorney W. 1. Agnew; Treas.
urer, w. H. Bracket; Clerk, Val Mil

nounced as follows by their respective

vention: First, G. w. Ingham; Third.

that the dissenters did not have q full
ticket to present. Those who received

able for what il does not say, than its
declaration of any fixed principle. 1t
boasts of debt.paying and tax reduc.
ton during the past two administra-
tons, of municipal affairs, and attrib-
utes it to the shrewdness, and wisdom,
and economy of the present admins
tration, when in fact it is owing to the
wide-open policy" maintained by the
administration despite civil and moral
law. Here are the resolutions:
The Republican party of the city of
Olympia in convention assembled de-
clare:
First: That attention OF our citizens
and taxpayers is directed to the ef-
ficiency and economy in the manage
ment of our city affairs, of the Republic
can administration of the last two years,
during which time our public debt has
been reduced from 10 mills to 0 mills for
city purposes and we pledge our candi-
dates to a continuation Of this policy Of
debt-paying economy.
| Second: We favor the passage and
enforcement of such laws as will afford
a full measure of protection to our mer-
chants and our industries and the en-.
couragement of our new ones.
