The Troops in Richmond.

The Virginia militia on duty in Rich
mond quelling the riots in connection
with the strike of the employees of the
Richmond Passenger and Power Com
pany have made most favorable i'm
preston by the effective but cOnserva-
tive manner in which both officers and
men have accomplished the trying duties
of the past few weeks. The Alexandria
Light Infantry, Company G, of the 10th
Regiment, stationed first at goth and
p streets-cOnsidered one Of the most
difficult and dangerous points, and later
transferred to Manchester, upon the
opening of the line to that city, where
the feeling against the Power Company
is very bitter and grave trouble was
feared-have done credit to themselves
and their city by their excellent work in
all the assignments given them. There
was considerable misunderstanding
among the employers Of the members of
the A. l.. /. over an order OF Governor
Montague relieving from duty ten men
from each company. The number was
strictly limited and the selection of the
men was left to the best judgment of the
company commanders, and all requests
for further relief from duty are being re-
fused. Arrangements are being made
to largely augment the police force, and
as soon as these arrangements are COM
pleted, which will be in few days, the
entire force of militia will be relieved.

REPLY FROM RUSSIA.

1t was learned last night that the
State Department has received a reply
from Russia stating that it neither would
receive nor consider the matter of the
Jewish petition on the subject of the
Kisheneff outrages. This information
came in the form of a cablegram from
Mr.. Riddle, the American charge at
st. Petersburg, to whom was committed
the delicate task of inquiring of the
Russian government as to its attitude
with respect to the presentation of the
petition. 1t is believed that this will
end the matter and that no further steps
will be taken by this government to
bring the views of the petitioners to the
attention of Russia, although as yet no
consideration has been given by the
President to the course to be pursued in
the light of Russia's response TO our in
quiry. The reply that Russia would
make to all suggestions on the subject Of
the Kishenef' massacre was forecasted
weeks ago in an authorized statement,
when the public was definitely informed
that Russia regarded the affair as an
internal matter, as to which she, in the
exercise of her own sovereignty, must
refuse to receive suggestions from any
other government or outside source.
