BOY YELLED SCAB
 AND IS FIRED ON
HE IS WOUNDED IN THE HAND AND HIP AND HIS HAND IS BADLY MANcLED-A PASSENGER ON A STREET GAR IS SHOT.

Richmond Va, June 26.-Lester Wilcox, a 1s-year-old boy, was shot by soldier in Fulton, the lower end of the city, about o'clock tonight for crying "scab' at car and refusing to desist when ordered to do so. He is wounded in the hand and hip. The hand is badly mangled. The boy was brought up town on a street car and taken to the city hospital.
 William Tucker. aged 2s. passenger on a Main street car, was shot tonight at the corner of Main and Belvidere streets. He was peppered in the arm and leg with small shot and was not too badly hurt to walk to his home after receiving the wound. Who did the shooting is not known.
 Cars have been run regularly on all but one or two of the city lines today and to- night. all are under military protection.
 The business men are moving toward bringing about settlement of the strike if possible.
 Cars were run on most of the city lines today and for part of the day on the suburban line to Barton Heights all un- der military protection. There has been no molestation of cars and no disturbance of moment so far as reported.
 Travel on the cars continue light, how ever though 1t was perceptibly heavier today than yesterday. The outlook is for a peaceful night, though itis realized that an outburst of disorder may occur at any moment.

RUSSIA WILL TURN
 DOWN THE PETITION
Still Have Hopes That U. s.
 Will Defer Action
WILL RECEIVE AMBASSADOR
MT. Riddle VIII Be Treated Politely, But It VIII Be Impossible for Rus sia to Change Her unalter-
 able Views on Subject.

Washington, June 26.-The Russian gov ernment has learned with profound re- gret of the intention of the Washington authorities to forward to St. Petersburg a petition from American Jews relative to Russia's treatment of her Jewish sub jects. It is yet hoped that the United States will appreciate the Russian view of the case and will content itself with the kindly expressions of sympathy which 1t already has offered for the affair at Kishineff. The Associated Press has al- ready stated the Russian position regard- Ing what Is considered outside interfer- ence in the internal affairs of Russia.
 That position continues to be held and the Associated Press is further permitted to say that MT Riddle, the American charge when he presents the petition at the Russian foreign office. will be re- ceived with the same cordiality always accorded an American envoy.
 In returning the petition to MT. Riddle the officials will assure him that Russia chooses no ill-will towards the United States and that the action 1t takes with respect to the petition is necessary in view of Russia's unalterable policy of refraln- ing from interference In the internal af- fairs of other powers and insisting on sim liar treatment for itself.
 The Russian government hopes It's firm ness in the matter will not be misunder- stood, but In view of the announcement of its position. weeks ago, passed upon the developments will force a reiteration of It's views. Should the presentation of the petition be deferred until the return to St. Petersburg of Mir. Mccormick, the American ambassador to Russia, the same programme will obtain unless in the mean time the Russian government is made aware of extenuating circumstances, which puts the matter in a different light.
 Indeed 1t Is declared Russia would be glad to do anything possible to relieve the tention in the United States, but feels unable to sacrifice a principle which 1t has followed hitherto, and the American support of which it has warmly endors- ed.
 The Russian government readily admits the sincerity of the American govern ment's decision and declines to listen to reports that the forwarding of the peti- ton has any ulterior significance, or Is In any way associated with any other mat foru

LADY HERBERT LOST JEWELS.
Wife of the British Ambassador Was
 Worried for a While.

Newport. R. I. June 26.-Despite the delightful farewell that members of the British embassy gave Lady Herbert, wife of the British ambassador, upon her departure from Newport for New York, whence she sails for England shortly, her journey was greatly dis turbed by the loss of satchel contain ing jewels worth $15,000.
 A servant in whose care the satchel had been placed laid 1t beside the steps of restaurant on the dock. The employees about the dock and restaur- ant supposed some one would claim the bag, never dreaming it contained anything of value. Finally the ticket agent carried 1t to the freight room and threw it into corner. When an agent of the ambassador rushed up and demanded the return of the grip sev- eral hours later and told what it con- tained there was consternation among the men who had been kicking for tune about the platform.

One of the Leaders Against the Treat,

 Upon these issues I know of no reason why both MT. Cleveland and Mir. Bryan may not be found fighting side by side. the battles of the party which has be- slowed upon them the greatest honor at its disposal. With either Senator Cor man or Judge Parker as our leader we ought to stand a good chance to win.
 When the platform Is written and the candidate named, the great rank and file of the party expect both MT. Cleveland and MT. Bryan to do that which they de- manded of democrats every time they were candidates, and that is, support the ticket"

DEMOCRATS MIGHT WIN

BY PATTERSON srEALEY.

Washington. June 26.--(Special.) .)-Repre- sentative E. W. Pou of North Carolina, who Is in Washington, is of the opinion that the democratic party has a great opportunity in the next Presidential con- test with the nomination of either Cor man or Parker. Speaking of the political situation today he said:
 There is really no sufficient reason why the democratic party may not pre- sent united front this year. Nature has eliminated, for time at least, the only issue which produced such distressing dif- ferences in our ranks. It seems to me the party should demand, first a reduc- tion of the import duty upon articles which are sold cheaper abroad than at home to that point which will force the American manufacturer to sell lis goods

All of them felt that win or lose, the party can go before the country in the next campaign with weapons as good as those carried by their opponents. They also agreed that state conventions which follow this year and next win, with the possible excep- tion of Nebraska, take the same course as that adopted by the Iowa democrats and make no reference to the Kansas City platform This they believed would be followed by the national convention next year. thus clearing the way for fight on old democratic lines and a reasonable chance of victory-something the party has not had for eight years.

Washington, June 6.-(Special) )-The action of the Iowa democratic conven- tion indorsing the Kansas City platform of 1900, was the subject of a good deal of comment in democratic circles in Washington today.
