Washington, July 1.-THE postoffice
department today made public the fol-
lowing:
There seems to be a wide misunder-
standing as to the present attitude of
the department regarding rural free
delivery. The statement has been
published quite generally, particularly
tn the west, that rural routes that do
not handle three thousand pieces Of
mail per month and supply one hundred
families are to be discontinued. 1t is
not the purpose of the department to
disturb routes already established an
less they manifestly unnecessary. But
as long as all of the routes that are
asked for cannot be established because
of the lack Of sufficient money, the
routes that will supply the greatest
number of families should certainly
have preference

REASON FOR REFUSAL.
Foreign Office Makes Statesment rs
to Reason for kefusal.

St. Petersburg, July 1S.-The foreign
office authorizes the Associated Press
correspondent TO say that the reason
for its refusal to accept the kishineff
petition was the unalterable objection
of the Russian government to outside
interference in the internal affairs OF
the Empire, and that, even had the Pc
tition been acceptable as diplomatic
document, Russia would nave regarded
the publication of the text before the
transmission as unusual. The foreign
office says it is willing to regard the
incident as closed ard adds that Rus
sia continues to cherish American
friendship.

WASHINGTON HAS NO ADVICEs.
Rut England Hears That American
Warship Takes Charge of Her
Islands.

London. July 17.-According to au-
thor;tative dispatches received here an
American warship visited a number OF
islands on the northeast coast of Bor-
neo some weeks ago and hoisted Amer
lean flags and erected American tab
lets on seven of the Islands, all OF
which are said to be British.
The affair is regarded here as being
capable of easy adjustment, being it is
asserted without doubt the result OF a
misunderstanding on the part OF the
commander of the American man-ot-
war.
Washington, July LIT is learned at
the state department that there have
been no representations recently from
the British government touching the
ownership of any of the smallest islands
in the south of the Philippine archipel-
ago and adjacent to the coast of Bor-
neo. Nor is anything known here OF
recent naval operations in that corner
Of the world 1t is believed here that
there is no possibility OF trouble grow
ing out of this incident.
The Sultan of Jolo possesses both
temporal and spiritual power over the
Mohammedan Inhabitants, not only OF
his own group of islands, but of the
north coast of Borneq~and the adjacent
islands, and the assertion of Spiritua
power over such of the natives as live
under the British flag in Borneo anC
the nearby islands may have led to the
supposition that the United States gov
ernment has improperly asserted SOW
| ereignty over British soil.
