RUSSIA'S ANSWER
No Attention Will Be Paid
 to KiShineff Petition
It Will Probably Not Be Forwarded
 and the Matter Is Considered To Be at an End.

Washington, July l6.-lt was learned tonight that the state department has received a reply from Russia stating that 1t would neither receive nor con- sider the matter of the Jewish petition on the subject of the Kishineff incl dent. This information came in the form of a caOlegram from MT Riddle, the American charge at St. Petersburg. to whom was committed the delicate task of inquiring of the Russian gov ernment as to its attitude with respect to the presentation of the petition. It is believed that this will end the mat ter and that no further steps win Be taken by this government to bring the views of the petitioners to the atten- tion of Russia although as yet no con- sideration has been given by the presi- dent as to the course to be pusued in the light of Russia's response to our inquiry.
 The reply that Russia would make to all suggestions on the subject of the kishineff massacre was forecasted very clearly by the associated press some weeks ago in an authorized statement when the public was definitely informed that Russia regarded the affair as a matter to which she in the exercise of her own sovereignty must refuse to re- ceive suggestions from any other gov ernment or outside source.

There Will Be Other BuSi- ness than Cuban Treaty
FINANCIAL LEGISLATION
A Conference at Oyster Bay Between the President and Senator Lodge in Which the Wishes of the Former Are Made Known.

Oyster Bay. Long Island July l6.- President Roosevelt is deeply interest ed in the proposed financial legislation As student of affairs, he has noted for long time the necessity of Enan- ciaI legislation of a remedial character. and today he expressed to Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts his desire that early legislation upon the subject should be taken by congress along the lines of his recent messages and speeches. Indeed, it can be said he hopes action will be initiated at the extra session of congress which he will call on Monday, November g.
 Senator Lodge arrived here this morning and passed the day with the president at Sagamore Hill. He is 4 member of the Alaskan boundary. com mission which is to begin its session in London early in September. Before sailing for England tomorrow on the steamer Cedric he came to Oyster Bay to consider with the president among other things. the work of the commits sion. He left this evening for New York.
 Before his departure Senator Lodge gave 10 the Associated Press a FJate- ment concerning his conference with
 
 presidents hopes regarding the finan- cial legislation are reflected We dis cussed." said Senator Lodge, "a variety of topics. including the work of the Alaskan boundary commission which is 10 begin in London early in September.
 Yes the senator continued in re- sponse to inquiry whether he had dis cussed with President Roosevelt the proposed extra session of congress, we considered it al some length"
 You know, of course, that an extra session is to be called to meet Monday, November Q. immediately following the fall elections. The session will be called primarily for the purpose of enacting legislation approving the Cuban treaty which was ratified by the senate last spring. The president hopes. however, as 1 do, that we shall be able to take up for carly consideration financial legislation along the lines of his mes sages and speeches since he became president. In this legislation the presi dent takes the deepest interest ''
 Did you discuss with the president any specific financial measure?''
 No. not at all. No specific bill was under consideration. The preparation of a measure of that kind is the work of congress itself. It was understood when the senate adjourned last spring that the committee on finance would prepare a remedial financial measuze during the recess. The committee is now engaged on that work I assume that the house committee on banking and currency also will take up the sub ject but I am not informed whether it is the intention of that committee to begin the consideration of the sub tect before the extra session shall con- Yene.
 As I noted. the president is deeply interested in this proposed legislation. and it is his hope and desire that early action may be taken by congress to remedy financial conditions
