COMING OHIO CAMPAIGN.
Representative Dick Says That Tom
Johnson's Hand Will Be in It.

Representative Dick Of Ohio called at the
Treasury Department today business.
Looking forward to the campaign in Ohio
next fall Mr.. Dick said:
THE elections in Ohio this fall give every
promise of being warm. The opinion pre-
walls that Tom Johnson does not want the
democratic nomination for governor, but
the republicans do not know what his plans
are. He controls the state organization in
such a way that he can have the nomina
ton II he wants 1t. and ifshe does not care
for it himself 1t will go to man he will
name or desires In any event Tom john
sons hand will be in the next elections,
and that promises to make things lively.
Johnson wants to make an assault on Sena-
tor Hanna and dislodge him from the Sen
ate II possible. and there is. considerable
at stake for the democrats this year"
Ohioans. as a rule, say that Johnson
really wants to come to the Senate, and
that he will make the fight with this OBJ
ject in view, If he thinks he can do better
by being nominated for governor he will
accept a nomination and make the race. If
he concludes that it will be wiser to let
some other man run for governor and him
self fight Senator Hanna direct for the Sen
ate he will do this.

Report of Collector Of Taxes.
COUNT cAss1Nps DEPARTURE.
Relations With the Administration De-
clared to Be Entirely Cordial.

Count Cassini, the Russian amba ssador.
will leave here this week for Russia on
leave of absence granted many weeks ago.
and he will probably be in st. Petersburg
about the time that the Jewish petition
prepared in this country is ready for sub
mission to the Russian authorities.
Whether the proposed action of this gov
ernment in that matter will postpone his
return to the United States beyond the time
of his regular leave of absence is a matter
of SPECULATION and con be determined only
by the progress of events.
1t is believed, however, that the incident
will not disturb the friendly relations SO
long subsisting between the two govern
ments or that 1t will cause even tempo
rary suspension of diplomatic relations.
The reports in circulation to the erect
that there is friction between the adminis-
tration and Count Cassini, the Russian am
bassador, are declared to be absolutely
without foundation. 1t is stated that tho
relations of the President and the State De-
partment with Count Cassini are officially
and personally entirely cordial. 1t is re-
garded a serious reflection upon the sin
cerity Of the President to represent his ac-
ton in forwarding the petition of the Jews
as in anyway connected with International
negotiations in the far east

ASK FOR INJUNCTION.
Democrats Seek to Restrain Republi-

CtluS LII AuAdkoAAS SAey GASSSAoA"
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, June 29-Immediately
after the meeting of the city republican
convention at noon today and the nomina-
ton of the ticket for mayor, counsellor and
aldermen to be voted for at the election to
be held Monday, July 49, Mr.. f. Z.
CAN'T as counsel for Col. Luther H. Gadd
and the other nominees of the democratic
party for city council, filed bill of COM
plant for an injunction against the cor
poration of the city and Chas. NJ. Robin
son, clerk.
The prayer was that they be restrained
from placing on the official ballots the
names of the republican nominees made at
the convention held today.
The ground for the injunction is that the
general election law under which the mu-
nicipal election is held requires that the
nomination papers must be filed fifteen
days before the election. and not being
made until this 10Th June. only fourteen
days are left before the election.
Before the act of 1902 chapter 1913. was
passed certificates Of nominations were re-
uured to be filed ten days before the cleo
ton. 1t appears that the republican man.
ayers overlooked the change in the law.
Curious to note, the same error was com
mitted four years ago. when the repupn-
cans failed to file their nomination papers
ten clear days before the election, the court
deciding that their nominees could not be
put on the official ballot. The election of
the republicans went by default.

LORD MAYOR OF LONDON
SPOKE TO JEWS AT SYNAGOGUE
IN THE METROPOLIS
Told Them He Believed Gear Was
Anxious to Give Them Relig-
ious Equality.

LONDON, June 2.-Lord Mayor Samuel
in a speech yesterday at the prize distribu-
ton of the religion classes at one Of Lon
don's synagagues said 1t was quite useless
to bring agitation to bear In the hope OF
influencing Russia in regard to the treat
ment of the Jews.
Their brethren in Australia, animated by
the most generous feelings, had sent money
and had passed a resolution which 1t be-
came his duty to submit to the foreign
office In following their wishes he was
aware what the result would be. There
fore, he was not surprised when assured
that this was an internal matter and that
the foreign office could do nothing.
Gear Not Their Enemy.
The Jews of this country, the lord mayor
continued, desired for their brethren in
Russia religious equality, and he believed
he was right in saying the car was most
anxious that the boon should be extended
to his Hebrew subjects. But there We're
other difficulties to overcome.
The case was different from that of Rou-
mania, where treaty rights were violated
Russia was under no treaty obligations and
was free to manage her Internal affairs as
she thought best. 1t was only by appeal
ing to the better side of the Russian ma
tion-and there was a very large better
side-that they could hope to awaken that
sense of right which, he was convinced, no
annount of agitation could bring about.
Their Interests at Heart.
The lord mayor concluded with asking
the Jewish community to believe he had
the interests of their prosecuted brethren
at heart, and not to misconstrue his SEEM
ing inactivity.
In this connection it has transpired that
shortly after the Kishineff outbreak the
Russian embassy conveyed personal as
surance to the lord mayor that If he would
discountenance anti-RuSsfan agitation In
London he could depend not only that there
would be no repetition of such attacks on
the Jews but that measures would De cn-
5ertaken to generally improve their Desi-
ton in Russia.
