land purchase bill Is safely passed. which
Is Mt expected until September.
The provisions OF the latter measure
are still kept absolutely secret and will

Petition.
ST. Petersburg, July 9.-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 following statement:
THE Car alone can decide whether
the petition will be received. but Alex
ander III would never have received
such a 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 inconvenient.
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 interest in the question, except
a desire that international relations re-
main unframed, since the matter is
purely domestic and belongs to an
other ministerial department"
Don't want Jews to Return.
In an article, which in official circles
is declared to be inspired, the Novoe
Vremya combats the claim of the
United States government that Rus
STA should grant American Jews free
access to Russian territory.
The Novoe Vremya declares that If
all American citizens were admitted to
Russia it would not be long before
thouands of Jews. who have left
Russia for various reasons, would re-
flock to Russia in the guise of Ameri-
can citizens, just as they are doing
in Roumania, Bulgaria and Turkey.
II Russia acceded to the United States
wish she could not refuse to grant
similar privileges in the case of other
countries and would soon undergo a
perfect invasion of foreign Jews.
The Novoe Vremya refers to the
United States restricting immigration
and concludes:
while Russia in no way assumes
| the right of criticising the interna
measures of the United states, she
on the other hand will not tolerate
the least interference in her private
| affairs on the part of Americans"

arose, walked behind Dawson and shot
him twice, once in the back and once

all his belongings.
A few hours later the body was

RADIUM RAYS AS A
CURE FOR CANCERS.

Vienna, July S.-Medical circles here
are greatly interested in a report, COM
municated to the Viennese Society of
Physicians and read at the recent meet
ing of the Imperial Academy Of Science
to the effect that a long standing case
of cancer was cured by radium rays
at the clinic of the late Prof. Gussen-
bauer.
The patient, who was 81 years of age,
had long suffered from cancer of the
palate and lip and had repeatedly been
operated upon fruitlessly until the
autumn of 1902, when the physicians
of the Viennese hospital declared it
was absolutely useless to operate
again. One physician determined as
a last resort to try radium rays, and
treated the afflicted parts by exposing
them to the light of radium bromide
the strongest radium preparation in
existence. He was rewarded by a
gradual and complete disappearance
of the tunnors.
Physicians at the same meeting re-
ported that radium rays had cured a
case of melanosarooma "a tumor con-
tanning a black or other dark colored
natter and several cases OF red mole,

THE TWO SHAMROCKS
HAVE A TRIAL RACE.
Old Boat Was Beaten When an Ac-
cident BefeIl Her.


New York, July "A sudden shift
of wind to day brought Sir Thomas
Lptons former challenger, crippled
and limping, across the finish line,
minus her club topsail only four min
utes behind the slippery new cup hum
ter. Shamrock III, after the latter had
beaten her eight minutes and twenty
seconds in twenty-six miles of a sail
stretching trial before the old boat was
partly disa bled.
The club topsail pole on Shamrock
broke almost at the head when she
had four miles to sail. She was thirteen
minutes behind the new boat when the
damage was repaired and the race re-
sumed. Before the accident the Sham
rock III beat the old boat four and
half minutes running to leeWard M
teen miles, and nearly four minutes IN
sailing a long leg close hauled.
The new cup seeker Was hardly up
to her standard to-day. Ordinarily in
a light wind, such as prevailed, she
is, 10 minutes better than her name
sake in a 15-mile run, but changes
which had been made in her trim and
reduction in her ballast had not inn
proved her.
