PRESIDENT NOT SURPRISED.
Anticipated Russia's Refusal to Re-
ceive Jewish Petition.

Oyster Bay. l.. l., July 1S.-President
Roosevelt was not surprised that the
Russian government should decline TO
receive the BNai Birth petition or
any other representations regarding
the Kishinen massacre. The action OF
Russia has been forecaSted unofficlally.
The information of Russia's decllna-
ton was received here IN a long tele-
gram from Secretary Hay. The presl-
dent sent to Secretary Hay an eX-
tended reply. The contents of neither
of the MESA ges are disclosed. although
it is known that the president request
ed Secretary Hay to make puDllc the
action of this government respecting
the incident.
President Roosevelt has no state
ment to make at this time regarding
the matter. WhatGver information
the administrator may care to make
public concerning ii will be given out
by the state department in Washing
| ton.
1t can be said to be absolutely un
likely that further efforts will be made
! to induce the Russian government &c
receive the petition. 1t is certain thai
after SO frank and unequlvocal a re
fusal TO receive the petition Russia
would regard the bringing of pressure
to bear upon her to induce her accept
ance of the representation as an act O
distinct unfriendliness.
AS the actual presentation OF I'M
petition involved no question OF prln
ciple and substantially the result bopet
for by the promotion of the movemen
concerning the Kishineff outrages ma
been achieved by calling Russias al
tention to the petition the probablll
ties are that the incident will be cor
| siderad as closed.
