Said to Be Responsible for Kishineff
 Massacre.

ICorrespondence of the Associated Press
 St Petersburg May 2S.-There IS Vlr- tuaI unanimity of opinion in the press barring the anti Semitic papers that the author of the strained relations ond Of the ritual murder calumnies was the newspaper Bessarabitz. petition of the Jewish community of Kishineff to the director of the Department of Police, Lopeoukhn in pointing this out says:
 Tn Bessarabia generally and in Kish- ineff particularly there were no strained relations between the Jews and Chris tians until a very recent date. This Is explained by the peaceful and orderly character of the local population and the comparative prosperity of the province. During twenty years or more there had been no conflict whatever between the two clements of the population and when Jews were being pillaged all throughout South and Southwest Russia the ordinary peaceful life of Bessarabia remained un- disturbed
 The Jewish society named the Bessa- rabietz as the direct instigator of the trouble. This newspaper was establish ed five years ago" the report stated. Until it's appearance there was no local organ of the press. It. therefore. found virgin soil and from the beginning had a tremendous influence In its second year The Bessarabietz began a regular and systematic batting of the Jewish popu- lation. In fact, Jew batting became it's recognized speciality.

 PERFUNCTORY ROOSevelt'S Return ElicitS
 No Enthusiasm. FEW WHOOPS ARE HEARD The President Evidently Look
 ing for Applause. Efforts Made to Bring Forth Cheers But They Were Thinly
 Theatrical and Not at
 All Dramatic.

Washington, June B--President Roose- Welt arriving in Washington after two months absence could hardly have failed to notice the contrast between the wild Western acclamations of the people of the plains and the perfunctory and IistIess way in which he was welcomed back to the capital Vigorous efforts had been made to make his home coming a kind of occasion of triumph. The local press begged the peo- pie to come out one and all and give the glad hand to the conquering hero. Que of the population of over three hundred thousand it is doubtful if there were more than five thousand people along the line of march in excess of the usual crowd on the street. A large part of the as- sembling was made up of public school cadets and policemen.
 People on the sidewalks for the uaost, part looked on as listlessly as if some sort Of advertising novelty was passing. Here and there efforts were made to do some cheering but it was thinIy theatricaH without being in the least dramatic. President Roosevelt stood up in his car- riage lowing right and left and show ing his teeth whenever he deserted any, body whooping for him. It was really not a generous and popular reception.

AT KANSAS CITY.
The Uncovered Property is Promptly
 Re-occupied.

4UC-ONSOR4CO'
 Kansas City, June 5-At dark tonight the water had receded from one-tenth of the flooded area and the uncovered prop ertY was promptly re-occupied. The territory reclaimed included the union station and a portion of the railroad yards. The recession of the flood has caused a lively demand for unskilled laborers.
 Two bodies were found under a railroad coach in the west bottoms today. They were those of Greek railroad laborer and a negro cook. The certified list of the dead now contains ten persons.
 A temporary bridge Is building across the Kansas River to carry the city aqueduct and pure water is hoped for within three days.
 George Gould today sent $500 to the Kansas City. Kansas relief committee and President Burt of the Union Pacific sent $1000 There were other liberal contributions of money and supplies and the total cash received in both cities Is about S750OO. Not all the 5000 persons driven from their homes have received assistance from the public. but food and shelter and clothing were given to all who needed them. Nearly all the suffer CTS had been industrious and prosperous. and they will return to their employment and homes as soon as the water will per init. It is thought that half the flooded area will be bare by tomorrow noon The conditions are the same on both sides of the river. except that Kansas City, Kansas. has much the greater num- ber of refugees.
 The military camp in Wyandotte opens with l. 600 inhabitants whites and negroes separate. The military camp in this city opens with 800 inhabitants, the refugees who have been in the churches. The con vention hall camp. which accommodates 9 900 will be maintained. Sanitary con- ditions are excellent in all camps and there is little sickness.

every reader of the Russian newspaper scarcely a month passing without the ci- tation of some anti-Semite utterance o1 this newspaper by other papers.
 We could quote articles" the report continued. which amounted to a simple call for the extirpation of the Jews en masse.".
 The Jewish community went on to say that the local censorship, administered by the Vice Governor, evidently approved the course of the Bessarabietz and direct ed attention to the persistent refusal of the St. Petersburg press administration to permit the establishment of any other newspaper at Kisheneff. The Bessarabietz continued preaching death to the Jews, or ''all Jews should be killed off'' until the massacre, its attacks eliminating in the accusation of ritual murder. The Jewish community established these facts and then related that leaflets were handed about the streets and posted ln the cheap restaurants and tea houses stating that "the Czar has decided to kill the Jews during the first three days of Easter
 Hay Calls on Roosevelt.
 Washington, June 6.-Secretary Hay called at the White House shortly after the Presidents arrival tonight but stayed only a few minutes. The President spent the evening with his family.
 Secretary Hay will bring before the President tomorrow the Russian situa- ton. both as. regards the Manchurtan and the Kishineff incidents. It is expect ed these matters and the postal investi- gation will consume most of the Cabt- nets attention at its meeting tomorrow. The position of this government as to Russian affairs Is extremely difficult and especially so because it is said of the numerous resolutions adopted as to the Kishineff affair. The situation has called for the exercise of much tact and 1t can be said on the highest authority that thus far no friction has occurred between the Russian government and our own though the Russian government Is disap- pointed that resolutions still are passed condemning Russia, notwithstanding the assurances of the government and the severe oppressive measures 1t has taken to prevent further outbreaks against the Jews.
 Count Cassini, the Russian Ambassa- dor. will see the President within the next few days on Russo-American reia- tions will be discussed with the view to a frank understanding between the two governments.
 Mir. Mccormick, our Ambassador at St. Petersburg, Is expected in Washington Sunday, and it is said that he intends to do what he can to check further attacks on the Russian government on the ground that in a large measure they are due to a misrepresentation of the Russian gov ernment's position. MT. Mccormick will sec the Russian Ambassador while here and also President Roosevelt

and George McDonafd. These were caught in the wreckage.
 Persons working in the flood district fear that many more will be found drowned as the flood recedes and that the list of dead will not be far from 100.
 Thirty or more persons are now classed as missing. Without doubt some of the bodies will never be recovered. The wa ter has now receded over six feet and is
 going down at a rate of an inch every hour Good work is now being done to secure what property is left, In the part of town north and west of the Rock Is- land bridge the damage Is very great. The houses were mostly small and in the full force of the current.
 The yards were swept clean of out buildings and many of the houses turned quarter of the way around and partial ly slipped from their foundations. Fur ther east the outbuildings are nearly all few blocks west of Kansas river, some of the outbuildings are still standing and over town are scores and scores of out buildings in all sorts of positions. The small houses which were in the full force of the current are about the only ones which were wrecked from their founda- tions.
 The greater part of North Topeka is a great waste of sand piled up over the streets, house floors, railroad tracks and everything. burying the city from a mere coating to depth of two or three and some places, four feet. All over the west part of the city the sand banks are ev- anywhere. The Union Pacific and the Rock Island tracks are covered with them in places to depth of three feet and in places the water Is still running under the ties. Yards are piled high with sand On some of the housesSit reaches to the windows and Is banked up against the doors. At others 1t is piled in the yard and a big dish in the sandbank is left near this where the current swirled around. This sand is all over the city. Along Gordon Street, where all the boat men were wary and careful while the water was at its height. there are great sand banks along each side.
 The middle of the street is still almost clear of sand but on each side where the current was not so swift there are banks
 filling many of the yards up to the porches The sand is not level but Is in great waves and piles and banks. There are tons and tons of k and the water is slowly sweeping out and leaving 1t there, an immense weight. unproductive and barren.
 Generous responses are being made to the appeals for aid.
 From all over the country telegrams are being received authorizing the officers here Q draw on organizations for funds The Topeka water company hopes to re- sume service tonight.
