WILL IGNORE PLEA.
Russia VIII Not Receive Protest Oh
American Jews to BE For
wRrded by President

Washington, June p. - The state
ment comes from an authoritative
source that the Russian government
has learned with profound regret Of
the intention of the Washington au-
thorities to forward to st. Petersburg
a petition from American Jews rela-
tive to Russia's treatment of her jew
ish subjects. II is yet hoped that the
United States will appreciate the Rus
sian view of the case and Will content
itself with the kindly expression of
sympathy which it already has offered
for the affair at Kishinetf. The Rus
sian position regarding what is con-
sidered outside interference in the in
ternal affairs of Russia has already
been stated. That position continues
to be held. and it is further said that
Mr.. Riddle. the American charge, when
he presents the petition at the Russian
foreign office will be received with the
same cordially always accorded an
American envoy.
In returning the petition to Mr.. Rid
die the officials will assure him that
Russia cherishcs 40 ill-will toward the
United States. and that the action it
takes with respect to the petition is
necessary. in view of Russia's unalter-
able policy of refraining from inter-
ference in the internal affairs of other
powers and insisting on similar treat
ment for itself. The Russian govern
ment hopes its tirmness in the matter
will not be misunderstood, but in view
Of the announcement of its position
weeks ago, is surprised at the devel-
opments which will force a reiteration
of it's views. Mr.. Riddle, it can be
stated, will be subjected to nc per-
sOnal embarrassment in presenting
the petition, and he will be given to
understand that the St. Petersburg au-
thorities appreciate the fact that he
is oily carrying out his orders.
Should the presentation of the petit
ton be deferred until the return to
St. Petersburg of Mr.. Mccormick, the
American ambassador to Russia, the
an programme viii obtain unieSsin
the meantime the Russian government
is made aware of eXtenuating circum-
stances. which put the matter in a diff
ferent light. Indeed, it is declared
Russia would be glad to do anything
possible to relieve the tension in the
United States, but feels unable to sac
ritice a principle which it has fol-
lowed hitherto, and the American
support of which it has warmly in
dorsed.
The Russian government readily adj
mits the sincerity of the American
listen to reports that the forwarding
of the petition has any Interior sig
nificance, or is in any way associated
with any other matters.

"White House, Washington. June

vestigated by Fourth Assistant Post
master General Bristow, who has had

Mr.. Robb, whom you detailed from

suit of this investigation, a number
of indictments have already been
held, and it is probable that other
indictments will hereafter be asked
for. There can be no greater of
Tense against the government than
q breach of trust on the part of a
public official or the dishonest man
agement of his Office, and, of course,
every effort must be eXerted to bring
such offenders to punishment by the
utmost rigor of the law. The district
attorney of the District of Columbia
has faithfully and ~zealously seconded
the efforts of the post office depart
ment in this matter, but the amount
of work in the office is such as to
make it difficult, without neglecting
other important public duties, to de-
vote all the time necessary to the
prosecution of these cases. I sug-
gest, therefore, that if you cannot
detail some of yo.- present staff, you
appoint special assistants in these
post office cases, not only to take
up the cases in which indictments
have been found, or hereafter may
be found, but to examine into all
charges that have been made against
officials in the postal service, with a
view to the removal and prosecution
of all guilty men in the service and
the prosecution of guilty men,
whether in the service or not, where
the cases are not barred by the stat
utes of limitations. Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
