VOICES HER REFUSAL.
Russia Informs the state Department
That She Will Not Consider Petit
ton Of American Jews.

Washington, July lit was learned
Thursday night that the state depart
ment had received a reply from Russia
stating that it neither would receive
nor consider the matter of the Jewish
petition on the subject of the Kishineff
incident. This information came in the
form of a cablegram from MI. Riddle,
the American charge at st. Petersburg,
to whom was committed the delicate
task of inquiring of the Russian gov
eminent as to it's attitude with respect
to the presentation of the petition.
1t is believed that this will end the
matter and that noffurther steps will
be taken by this government to bring
the views of the petitioners to the at
tention of Russia, although as yet no
consideration has been given by the
president to the course to be pursued
in the light of Russia's response to
u inquiry.
The reply that Russia would make
to all suggestions on the subject OF
the Kishineff massacre was forecasted
very clearly some weeks ago in an
authorized statement when the pub
lie was definitely informed that Rus
STA regarded the affair as an internal
matter as to which she in the exercise
of her W sovereignty must refuse to
receive suggestions from any other
government or outside sources.

KNAPP is FOUND GUILTY,
The Jury Returns n Verdict Of VI rda r
i'm the First Degree in the Case Of
the Ohio Wife-Slayer.

!, Hamilton, O., July 17.--Alfred A.
Knapp was convicted of murder in the
first degree for the murder of his wife.
Hannah Goddard Knapp, by Judge Bel
den's jury here Thursday. The verdict
wal reached at 1880 o'clock, the iury
having been out since 1880 o'clock
Wednesday night. To the surprise of
everybody there was no recommends
ton of mercy and the famous criminal
must go to the electric chair. 1t was
thought that the long elaboration ar
gued that the degree of the crime would
be reduced. The jury stood ten for con-
viction without mercy and two for con-
viction with mercy, being unanimously
for guilt.
The case will be carried higher on the
usual appeals, but it is generally be-
lieved that Knapp will now be electro
cuted.

Nay Organize Saturday.

At the meeting of the blacksmiths
called recently for the purpose of
organizing horseshoers' union there
was very small attendance, and it
was decided to make another attempt
at organization at meeting to be
held Saturday evening of this week.
Only eight were present out of the
total number of blacksmiths in the
county, which Is about twenty. 1t is
expected that practically all will be
present at the meeting this week,
which will be held in the engine house.
The promoters state that it is the
purpose to maintain IN independent
organization for time, but later on
IN organization will BE effected under
the state union. The blacksmiths feel
that they Are justified in taking this
move for the purpose of adjusting
rates on work. The increased cost of
materials and also of labor does not
warrant them in maintaining the old
schedule of prices. -

Eden Valley, was suffocated in q

stick he could have started the shorts

have been so ordained. He leaves
