INTERNAL AFFAIRS OF
OTHER POWERS.

Washington, June IS. - Tie RUS
sian government has learned WIN pro
found regret of tic intention OF Tie
Washington authorities to forward 70
ST. Petersburg a petition from Amefl-
can Jewish people relative to Ros'
sia's t, aatmcnt to the Jews.
1t is hoped that the United States
will appreciate the Russian view OF
the case and will content itself with
the kindly expressions of sympathy
which IL already has offered for the
affair at Kisc.linetf The Associated
Press already has stated the Russian
position regarding what is considered
outside interference in the internal at
fairs of Russia.
That position continues to be held
and the Associated Press is further
permitted to say that Mr.. Riddle. the
American charge, when he presents
tho petition at the Russian foreign Of
fee, will he received with the same
cordially always accorded an Ameri-
can envoy.
In returning the petition to Mr.. Rid
Russia cherishcs no i'll will toward the
United States and that the action it
takes with respect to the petition is
necessary in view of Russia's uEalter-
able policy of
Refraining From Interference
in the internal affairs Of other pow
ers and insisting on similar treatment
for itself. The Russian government
hopes it's firnlness in the matter will
not be misunderstood, but in view OF
the announcement of its position
weeks ago it is surprised at the devel-
opments which will force retraction
of it's views. Mr.. Riddle. it can be
stated, will be subjected to no person
al embarrassment in presenting the
petition and he will he given to under
stand that the ST. Petersburg authori-
ties appreciate the fact that he is only
carrying out his orders. Should the
presentation Of the petition be de-
ferred until the return to st. Peters
burg of Mr.. Mccormick, the American
ambassador to Russia. the same pro.
gram will obtain. unless in the mean
time the Russian government is made
aware of extenuatins circumstances,
which will put the matter in differ
ent light.
Indeed, it is declared Russia would
be glad to do anything possible to re-
lieve the tension in the United States,
but it feels unable to sacrifice princi-
pie which it has followed hitherto and
the American support of which it has
warmly Endorsed.

Danger of Further Lawlessness as Re-

Wilmington. Del. June 2S.-Danger
of further larxlessness as result of
the lynching of George r. W+ite for
the murder of Helen Bishop has not
vet passed. While there is no visible
evidence that another outbreak will
occur there is a feeling of uncasiness
which has caused the police to take
prccaution. Late yesterday afternoon
saloons and all other public places
were requested to close. This was
generally done. Mayor Fisher issued
q statement requesting parents to
keep their boys Off tic streets at
night. Though the streets in the cen
trail portion of the city late last night
were filled with pedestrians every
thing was quiet. There is a feeling
among the citizens that the police will
let the matter drop in order to bring
about peace and quiet.

Poughkee2sie, N. Y, June aS.-For
the first time in years there were dis.
tinct surprises in the intercollegiate
races here yesterday. Two crews of
practically unknown quantities and
whose coaches had not predicted ar
had not hoped for them anything bet.
ter than fourth of fifth places in their
respective r;.ccs, each finished in tho
two most important races of the day.
The Syracuse university crew took
such close second honors in the fresh.
man race that for the last half-mile If
was e serious question whether her
boys would not pull to victory.
Georgetown university, in the varsity
race, while finishing q very bad Sec
ond to the phenomenal crew put in
the race by Cornell university. walked
away from the other four crews in
the race. old timers, with the excep.
ticn of Syracuse, in manner that
made the rowing sharps Simply throw
up their hats for joy. Columbia uni
vcrsity crews, from which very much
had been promised, finished in
The Worst Possible Shape,
although in the betting, in the general
predictions and in the prognostica-
tions of her coach, she was supposed
to have an excellent chance in both
tho four-oared and varsity races As
it was. she finished last in the four.
cared race, being beaten out even by
Wisconsin. which had just a green
crew in the field in shell borrowed
from Columbia. In the freshman race
she was the fourth crew. and a poor
fourth, Wisconsin was third, with
Pennsylvania, from whom nothing had
been expected as her crew had been
materially changed in the last few
days, close fifth.
In the varsity race Columbia fin
ished last, being at least six lengths
behind Syracuse. the fifth crew in the
race, and at least four out of her eight
men collapsing in the boat as the
finish line was crossed
1t was. as it has been for the past
two years, Cornell day. AS in last
years regatta Cornell
Won All Three Races,
and while only one record was broken
the freshman race-it is the general
concensus of opinion that had the
Cornell varsity crew been pressed the
record would have been broken even
in that race. The varsity race, as
matter of fact, was a miserable walk
over, Cornell taking the lead before
the mile-post had been reached and
rowing away from her competitors in
manner so easy that at no time was
she pressed for first place.

races:
