Explorers tell of steam as if from

AN ANSWER TO RUSSIA.
HER ACTS "UNFRIENDLY."
Administrators Position on Kishi-
nef Affair Made Clear.

Washington. July 1.-The position Of the ad-
ministration regarding the proposed transmits
sion of the petition of the Jewish citizens of the
United States to the Russian government was
made very clear and positive by a statement au-
thorized by the State Department tonight
This statement was drawn out by newspaper
publications rejecting the attitude of the Rus
sian government in the event of the presenta-
tion of such a petition through the medium of
the United States Embassy at St. Petersburg.
which had been brought to the attention of the
government.
Very careful consideration was given TO it
was reached to make any declaration regarding
the matter. The statement is as follows:
AT the State Department it was stated by a
high ofhcial in the absence of Secretary Hay.
that the delay IN forwardihg the Betitioa Of the
American citizens of the Jewish faith to the
i'll treatment of their co-religionists in Russia
was solely due to the delay in furnishing the
address to the State Department by the petit
TONERS. The State Department would. of course.
pay no heed to any statement purporting to
emanate from the Russian Government. unless
such statement were made officially in some
form or other to our own government.
The State Department has been scrupulously
careful to act only in accordance with all the
requirements of official propriety. but within
the limits thus laid down it will most certainly
not hesitate to give expression TO the deep sym
pathy felt not only by the administration but
by all the American people for the unfortunate
Jews who have been the victims in the recent
appalling massacres and outrages.
In this connection II was pointed out by
other official. who disclained any purpose to
speak in his official capacity. however, that it
seemed som what strange. to say the least, that
the Russian Government should choose this par
ticular method of making a statement to the
American people at the very time when by
methods which are certainly the reverse Of
friendly to the United States. it has sought 10
make China join in breaking the plighted faith
of all the powers as to the open door in Man
churia. and has endeavored to bar out people
from access to the Manchurian trade"
The above statement was shown to Count
Cassini. the Russian Ambassador. tonight. but
he declined to make any comment on 1t. Any
reply to this statement must be made under
direct instructions from St Petersburg 1t is
realized. both at the State Department and the
Russian Embassy, that the situation is ex-
tremely delicate

men. The prisoners wept ana Judge Jones

evidence the government intended to introduce
against these men. In the case of George D

Of peonage: that there was a conspiracy between
the Cosbys, another planter, and a justice of the
peace. who is an employe OF the other planter;
that Rina Scott, Ella johnson and Ann Scott

carried before the justice. who did not fine them,
but made them think that he had, and that the
Cosbys and the other planter had paid the fines
The cases were never placed on the docket, but
the negroes were made to sign contracts to work
for the planters. They were worked under
guard, locked up at night and beaten unmerci-

Another case against George Cosby was that
of holding Pike Swonson in peonage The gov
ernment expected to prove that Swonson made
contract with Cosby when Swonson was
drunk. and that he remained in that condition

He was arrested for drunkenness and fined.
Cosby paid the fine. took Swonson back to the
farm. and worked him a prisoner When his
time was nearly up he again arrested and

months more.

Two arrests Of men who are involved by the
old Dock Board scandal are expected within
the next forty eight hours. They may be made
to-day District Attorney Jerome would not
indicate yesterday that captures were immi-
nent. When asked last night by a Tribune
reporter about the likelihood of arrests he said:
That is something cannot talk about"
Tammany Hall is in a panic over the de-
Velopnents in the old Dock Board investigation.
Charles F. Murphy's leadership is in danger
on account of it. His friends held to the hope
that on account of illness in the latter part
of 1901 his unavoidable absence left his record
above reproach< He was not at the meeting
on July 49, when the New-York Contracting
and Trucking Company got a favorable vote
from Messrs. Cram and Meyer on the resolution
TO lease to the company the Ninety-sixth-st-
pier. It developed yesterday. however. that
Mr. Murphy signed this lease which tooIs eff5ct
on December 2T. He must have known at the
tine he did it that his brother John, as
councilman, and James E. Gaffney as an alder
man. had right to leases of city property.
One of the most damaging of all the things
thus far turned up by Assistant District At
torney Clarke documentary evidence in
the shape Of letter from John Fleming. under
date of July l. 1901. informing the Dock Board
among other things. that the Canal-st pier
of which he obtained thirty year lease, would
do an immense amount of business with the
subway tunnel builders In spite Of this
statement the board gave Fleming the lease
at the same rate. 81 800 that Brown & Fleming
were paying for their permit t use the pier.
Fleming's two letters of July to the board
are a history in themselves. They are wit
nesses of the scheme put through by the old
board to freeze Charles A Brown out of part
ownership of the valuable permits held by the
firm for the piers and dumping boards at the
CanaI-st, West Fifty-hfth and East Fortieth-
st. piers.
PLAN TO FREEZE OUT BROWN
The plan TO freeze out Mr.. Brown had been
developing for some time, and on July it was
put through with rush. AS already stated, the
life of the Brown & Fleming permits was at
the pleasure of the board" That left things so
that the lessees could be managed" by the men
who ran the board. Fleming suspected that
Brown was drawing an undue share of money
from the business and Fleming was solid
with Charles F. Murphy and J. Sergeant Cram,
