TO ACT roR JEWS.
Roosevelt HAS Decided to Send Petition
to the Gar.

Washington, June 27.--The presi-
dent has decided 10 transmit to the
Russian government the petition pre-
sented to him by the executive council
Of the B'nai B'ritn regarding the treat
ment Of Jews in Russia. This action
has been taken alter mature considera-
ton. At first IT was decided that the
petition should not be presented be-
cause it might be resented By the Rus
sian government and lead TO & reeponse
that would tause a break in the reIa.
tions OF the two countries. However.
the FIRST consideration has been recon.
sideied. and by direction Of the presi-
dent the pstition viii 70 forNara
What the result win Be Is probEemaEi.
cal.
At the White House conference on
the 18th inst, the Jews had made the
point that tine car was kept ignorant
as to the exact condition OF the Jews in
bis empire by the bureancrats, who
had hedged him about on all sides, and
they were sure II the president would
only once assist them in laying their
case before the czar himself, he would
ct once adopt measures to alleviate
their condition. The president at that
hearing promised to do what he could.
1t was at once perceived to do what
was asked involved the danger Of
short reply and disposition developed
70 regard the full publicity which had
been given to the White House confer
ence as sufficient to meet the needs Of
the case, for it was assured that the
czar could not fail to see some OF the
newspaper comments and reports upon
the subject. The Jews, however, were
not satisfied with this passive attitude.
Officially, it is expected that the pc
tition will be received, but it may be
stated that there have been no lack Of
intimations from informed sources that
the car will never be permitted to see
the note, as the Russian prime minister
will not receive it for transmission.
In fact, 1t is realized that the Russian
position is still correctly described in
the statement telegraphed from Wash
ignton June 8, from which this extract
is taken:
"Nor will it be possible for Russia to
re eive any representations regarding
the Kishinef incident from a foreign
power. The Russian government takes
the sane position as that long held by
the American government, namely. that
it refrains from interfering in any in
teynal affairs of another power and
must insist on similar treatment for
ITSELF"

SEARCH NEAR END
SEEKERS FOR BODIES AT HEPPNER
WILL SOON FINISH.
Remains Of Many known to Have Per
ished Have Not Been Recovered
Town Pretty Thoroughly Cleaned Up
-oceasIOnaI 0rafters on Relief Fund
Turned Down.

Heppner, June 26.-Good progress
has been made in reliet work today.
Those who are searching the driita
have now reached IexinNsen. hat xan.a
Of the ground already worked over was
not thoroughly worked. and will BE-
gone over again. a camp was today
made at the Borg place. about half
way between Heppner and Lexington,
50 the men would not have to 90 90 far
for meals, and much tins isthus saved.
Two bodies we're dragged from the
wreckage today, two miles this side Of
Lexington.
The tearchers have now nearly
reached Lexington, and many are in
favor Of carrying the search no farther
than this point, but Of going over the
ground already searched second time
and then abandoning the hunt. On
the other hand, there are IA or I5 peo-
pie known to be lost whose bodies are
mot yet recovered, and some are in IA
vor Of prosecuting the search as long
as there is any possible hope Of finding
any Of the missing ones. There are
many cesspools, cellars and natural de-
pressions which have been filed with
mud. and doubtless there are bodies
buried in these which will L. er be
found.
The town has b en- pretty thoroughly
cleared up, and tonight large part Of
the force which has been at work on
the streets and vacant lots will either
be discharged or else cent down to
work along the creek. DR.. Kistner,
who is at the head OF the health depart
ment, has had teams engaged today In
filling in several cellars and other nox-
ions places with alkali. No cases Of
sickness have developed, and the
health of the community is good.
The work of relieving the needy is
progressing satisfactorily. Now and
then come worthless person seeks TO
impose upon the committee which has
this work in charge.

POWERS WILL PRESS CHINA.


Means Are Being Considered to Break
Deadlock on Trade Treaty.
washington, june 70. The neg0ti-
atoms with China for trade treaty
have reached critical phase, growing
out Of the demand of the United Stats
and Japan for the opening OF ports in
Manchuria. The Russian government
has professed to entertain no opposi-
tion to the demand, but the Chinese
commissioners now take the gro0nd
that the ports mentioned will be
opened to foreign trade in the future
when trade necessities require it.
Therefore they propose to leave this
matter in allegiance and conclude the
trade convention without this section.
The United States refuses to accept
this this =:sggest;cn. Isra. takes takes tie the same
position. The English influence lies
in that direction, and negotiations are
deadlocked. pending the contrivance of
some means by the powers named to
bring some pressure upon China.

OHApTRR x.


Seventeen months have elapsed since
Enrol Hastings had stood on the deck OF
the Enone, looking down into the Med
iterranean, and thinking Of the woman
he loved so deeply. She was not wom-
an, though, then-she was only fresh,
young girl; and In her sweet, simple
purity lay the charm she had for the man
of the world.
He was staying for month in Paris
on the way home, and the brilliant So
ciety he mixed with was very pleasant
after his long isolation.
Tonight, too, he was to meet an old
friend at the opera--a woman whom he
had always liked, but who had never
seemed so charming to him as she did
now, with her pretty assumption Of
matronhood. Her husband was detest-
able, certainly, and she knew 1t. Surely
the continuance Of an old friendship
must be grateful to one who could not be
very happy. And with a strong interest,
very keenly awakened, Mr.. Hastings
walked that evening into Mrs. Clayton's
opera box.
| The husband and wife were together
alone. The former was gazing intently
through his glass at very snowy looking
supernumerary, the latter leant back in
differently, with strong expression Of
discontent and WEAKNESS on her pretty
face. She was prettier, perhaps, thar
when we last saw her as Fee Alton; but
sadder, more penslve, and her beauty wa'
enhanced by the magni6cence Of her jew
elry.

CHAPTER XII.

Enrol Hastings, riding toward the Bois
de Boulogne, pondering much on what he
had heard. He was surprised-he tried
to believe he was pleased; but somehow
or other his satisfaction was not very
genuine. Miss Eyre had certainly made
a fortunate step 10 life; true she had lost
a father whom she had loved. but then
she had gained q friend, in Lady Grace
Farquhar. She would get Introduced into
good society, and perhapA but that was
not q train OF thought he cared to fol-
low. Had not Erskine already been at
her feet?
Mr.. Hastings soliloQuy was cut short
by seeing Col d'Aguilar walking leisure
ly along the Champs Elysees. He drew
rein instantly.
"D'Aguilarr' he cried.
"Hastingsr' exclaimed the other, and
they shook hands warmly.

regiment" said Enrol.

"Then I'll look in about ten.'
And the two men parted just as Mrs.
Clayton rolled past In her handsome car

looked like a lovely little Esquimaux en-.

gave Mr.. Hastings a bright smile, and
the wave Of delicately gloved little

Sixteen months had passed since the
day when they had ridden together down
