Washington, July 2.-The position OF
the administration regarding the pro-
posed transmission of the petition of
the Jewish citizens of the United States
to the Russian government has been
made very clear and positive by state
ment authorized by the state depart
ment. This statement was inspired by
newspaper publications rejecting the
attitude of the Russian government in
the event of the presentation of such a
petition through the medium Of the
United States embassy Of st. Peters
burg. which had been brought to the
attention of high officers of the govern
mept. 1t was given very carefully con-
sideration both here and at Oyster
Bay before decision was reached to
make any declaration regarding the
matter. The statement is as follows:
Explains the Delay So Far.
"At the state department it was
stated by high official, in the absence
of Secretary Hay, that the delay in
forwarding the petition of the Ameri-
can citizens of the Jewish faith as to
the ill treatment of their co-religionists
in Russia was solely Cue TO the delay
in furnishing the addr !, - the state
department by the petitioners. The
state department would, of course, pay
no heed to any statement purpOrting to
emanate from the Russian government,
unless such statement was made Off
cially in some form or other to our own
government.

Editor HERALD:
Appropos of the low death rate
from yellow fever in Laredo the
writer conversed today over the wire
with the manager of the Western
Union Telegraph Office at Laredo,
Dir. T. J. Bolleter, whose whole
household, including servants, have
bad the fever and recovered from it.
His family was attended by DR..
Murray, who is well known in this
city. having been here in the
spidemic of 1882. Mr.. Bolleter stat
ed that in a conversation with DR..
Murray the doctor gave it as his
opinion that the low rate of mortali-
BY should be attributed to the
abandonment Of the use of quinine
as a.remedy, and cites the case of
one doctor at Laredo who lost all
OF his patients, as one who adhered
10 the ancient practice of administer
ing quinine.
The doctor also referred to the
epfdenlics of 81, '73 and rs, when
the death rate was remarkably high,
and compared these with the death
yate of the last epidemic in New Or
leans, which was very light, as in
she latter case quinine was aban-
5oned almost entirely as a remedy.
