TIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Resented By Russia.

The Russian Government has au-
thorized. through its embassy here, this
statement for publication in the United
States for the information OF all con
ccrned:
The Russian Government most posi-
lively and absolutely denies the report
that ii offered to the American Govern
mcnt. either through the Russian En-
bassy al Washington or TIE American
Embassy in ST. Petersburg. any official
explanation regarding the Kischeneff in
cident, and declares that it has never
been addressed by the American Gov
ernmeni On the subject.
The Russian Government must cate
gorically refuse to receive from any
power any representations. petitions or
communications regarding its internal
affairs
This emphatic announcement Of the
Russian Government intention TO sub
jcct the American envoy at ST. Peters
burg to a severe snub in case he shall
present the petition OF the B'nai B riih
upon the kischencff affair has caused
a profound sensation in Administration
and diplomatic circles.
The State Department authorized the
following:
rAt the State Department it was said
by high official in the absence OF Sec
rotary Hay that the delay in forward
ing the petition of the American citizens
OF Jewish faith as to the i'll treatment
OF their co-religionists i'll Russia was
solely due to the delay in furnishing
the address 10 the State Department by
the petitioners. The Department would
OF course pay no heed TO any statement
purporting TO enlanatc from the Rus
sian Government unless such statement
were made officially in some form or
other to our Government. The depart
ment has been scrupulously careful 10
act only III accordance with all the re-
quirements OF official propricty but
within the limits thus laid down it will
most certainly not hesitate to give ex-
preston TO the deep sympathy felt. not
only by the administration, but by all
the American people. for the unfor-
tunate Jews VITO have been the victims
i'll the recent appalling massacres and
outrageS.
In this connection it was pointed
out by another official. who disclaimcd
any purpose TO speak in his official ca
pacity. however. that it seemed some
what strange. to say the least, that the
Russian Government should choose this
particular method OF making state
ment to the American people at the
very time when by methods which are
certainly the reverse Of friendly TO the
United States it has sought 10 make
China join in breaking the plighted
faith OF all the powers as to the open
