NOT SURPRISED.
No Feeling Over Russia's Re-
fusaI to Receive Petition.
Understood at Washington That the
Incident Is Now Closed.
Pres. Roosevelt Has Done His Full Duty
in the Matter.

Oyster Bay, L. l., July 17.-President
Roosevelt was not surprised that the
Russian government should decline to
receive the B'Nai B'ith petition regard
ing the Kishineff massacres. The ac-
ton of Russia has been forecasted I'M
officially. The information of Russia's
declination was received here, last
night, by a telegram to Secretary Hay.
The telegram was sent Immediately by
special messenger to the President at
Sycamore Hill. Toward midnight the
President sent to Secretary Hay an ex-
tended reply. The contents of neither
of the messages are disclosed, although
it is understood that the President re-
quested Mr.. Hay to make public the
action of this government respecting
the incident
President Roosevelt has no statement
to make at this time regarding the
matter. Whatever information the adj
miniStration may care to make public
concerning it, will be given out by the
State department in Washington. 1t
can be said to be absolutely unlikely
that further efforts will be made to in
duce the Russian government to re-
ceive the petition. 1t is certain that
after so frank and unequivocal refusal
to receive the petition, Russia would
regard the bringing of pressure to bear
upon her to induce her acceptance of
the petition as an act of distinct I'M
friendlineSS.
AS the actual presentation of the pc
tition involved no question of the prin-
ciple and substantially the result hoped
for concerning the Kishineff outrages
has been achieved by calling Russia's
attention to the petition, the probable
tiles are that the incident will be con-
sidered as closed.
1t is believed that this petition was
almost unexampled and in the weight
ana dignity of the signatures attached
to it.
When the petition reaches Washing
ton the various pages will be bound to-
gether in magnificent style in one vol
ume and delivered to Andrew Allen,
chief of the bureau of rolls of the state
department, for safe keeping.

The cruel outrageS perpetrated at

The Britt Tribune charges that Gov
ernor Cummins has not been in line
with the republican party for years,
and then adds that the governor will
doubtless be renominated by aeclama-
ton at the approaching republican
state convention.
If the Britt editors reasoning is
sound. the intelligence of the republic
cans of Iowa, is at a low ebb, indeed,
when they nominate for a second term
as governor of this great common
wealth a man who for years has not
been in harmony with their party
The stab from the Tribune dagger
intended to drink the blood Of Governor
Cummins, misses the official and spends
its force instead, upon the republicans

And these genial gentlemen, accus-
