nothing worse than a bad shaking up.
The train was composed of a baggage
and express car. three day coaches n
three Pullman sleepers, all of which were

Decides to Transmit. Jewish Petition
to Russian Government. 5s


to Russian Government. "
Washington, June 26.-The president
has decided to transmit to the Rus
sian government the petition presented
to him by the executive council of
B'nai Birth regarding treatment of
Jews in Russia. z =
The action has been taken after ma
ture consideration. At first it was de-.
cided that the petition should not be
presented because it might be resented
by the government of Russia and lead
to response that will cause a break
In the relations OF the two countries.
However, the first conclusion has been
reconsidered and by direction of the
president the petition will now go for
ward. What the result will be is prob
lematical. AS indicated in the follow
ing note from Secretary Hay to Simon
Wolf the presentation will probably
be made to the Russian government
through the United States charge at
St. Petersburg. The note reads:
Dear Sir: The president has decid-
cd to transmit to the Russian govern
ment the petition of which you pre-
sented him with draft on the 18th of
this month. The matter which he had
to consider most seriously was wheth-
or or not such proceeding would be
to the advantage of your prosecuted
and outraged co.religionists in Rus
sia. II On this point he has decided to
accept your opinion. and that of the
numerous and intelligent groups of
American citizens Of the Jewish faith
whom you represent. He requests that
you will send him the petition in due
form at your earliest convenience. OF
course you will understand that the
president cannot tell you what recep-
tion your petition will meet with at the
hands of the Russian government" -.
Mower County transcript., 1903-07-01

The restoration Of the Campanile in
Venice has revealed that it was built
OF Roman, not Venetian, bricks. More
over, when they were manufa ctured
they were not manipulated like modern
bricks, but were formed from slices Of
clay, as they are found without the
natural layers being disturbed. This
process resulted in each individual
brick being able to support weight
quite four times as great as the mod
ern brick. 1t is pointed out that the
new Campanile may be built today
of bricks of the same origin. The bricks
examined are of the first century. One
bore the impression of horseshoe,
conclusively proving the debated point
that horeshoes were then in use.
Interesting Indian Relics.
Missouri university has just received
as donation a collection of Indian
relics which is perhaps the most yalu-
able in existence. 1t is made up of
relics taken from mounds and old In
d1aa battle fields, mostly in Missouri,
and is composed of from 5000 to 1000
pieces. There are hammers and axes
of every variety, from the rough stage
OF the. earliest known to the polished
and perfect specimens Of the later
tribes. Some of the axes are made Of
hematite iron ore very highly polished.
An interesting group is that of hoes
made from stone and notched so as to
be fastened to handles. They show
very, fine, workmanship and might be
used i'll hoeing gardens at the present
day as easily and effectively ais the:
modern variety. There are knives and
sinkers and plummets with holes in
the ends by which they were suspended
with strings as are the modern kind. !
u - ...< More Finds at Knossos.
Mr.. Arthur Evans, who is carrying
on the excavations on the site Of
Knossos, in Crete (the SO called palace
of Minos). has announced some new
and important discoveries. On the
west of the north court Of the palace
he has found a double fight of broad
steps leading down to the paved area
and which apparently served as seats
for spectators. He considers this an
anticipation of the Greek theater ! In
an early building near the palace were
dug up deposits Of bronze basins, beau
tiful lily and leaf decorations and
bronze vases with reliefs. On the
northeast of the palace is house of
fine construction running into the hill,
side. with remains of two stories and
three flights of stairs. On a landing
was found a tall painted jar with mag
nificent papyrus decoration, partly in
:elief and unique in style.
