St. Petersburg, July 3.-President Roosevelt's decision to forward to the Russian government the petition in be- half of the Russian Jews is not pub lished here.
 The foreign office has made the fol- lowing statement:
 The Czar alone can decide whether the petition will be received, but Alex ander III would never have received such petition. The petition from the Guild Hall meeting, called by the lord mayor of London in 1891, was returned through the foreign office as being in- convenient.
 The foreign office hopes the Ameri- cans will not invite such a slight. They would resent an anti-lynching petition. The foreign office has no special in terest in the question, except desire that international relations remain un- harmed since the matter is purely do- mestic and belongs to another minis terial department"
