WILL NOT BROOK
INTERFERENCE
Russia Will Not Allow Outside
MeddIing in Relation to
the kiShenev Affair.
HOPES WE WILL RECONSIDER
Admits the Sincerity of this Govern
ment's Decision, and viii Return
the Petition to Mr.. Riddle With
No III Will.

Washington. June 27.-The Rus.
sian government has learned with pro-
found regret of the intention of the
Washington authorities TO forward to
st. Petersburg petition from Ameri-
can Jews relative to Russia's treat
ment of her Jewish subjects. It is
yet hoped that the United States will
appreciate the Russian view of the
case and will content itself with the
kindly expressions of sympathy which
1t already has offered for the affair
at Kishenev. The Associated Press
already has stated the Russian posi-
ton regarding what is considered out
side interference in the internal af-
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
the petition at the Russian foreign
Office, will be received with the same
cordially always accorded an Ameri-
can envoy In returning the petition
to Mr.. Riddle, the officials will assure
him that Russia cherishes no i'll will
toward the United States and that the
action it takes with respect to the
petition is necessary in view of Rus
sias unalterable policy :. refraining
from interfering in the Internal affairs
of other powers and insisting on sim
liar. treatment for itself. The Rus
sian government hopes it's firmness
In the matter will not be misunder-
Stood but in view of the announce
ment Of its position weeks ago. is sur
prised at the developments which will
force a reiteration of its views. Mr..
Riddle, IL can be stated, will be sub
jected to no personal embarrassment
in presenting the petition and he will
be given to understand that the St.
Petersburg authorities appreciate the
fact that he is only carrying out his
orders. Should the presentation of
the petition be deferred until the re-
turn to st. Petersburg of Mr.. McCor-
mick, the American ambassador TO
Russia, the same programme will OBJ
. tain, unless, in the meantime, the
Russian government is made aware
of extenuating circumstances which
put the matter in a different light.
Indeed, 1t is declared Russia will be
glad to do anything possible to relieve
the tension in the United States, but
feels unable to sacrifice a principle
which it has followed hitherto, and
the American support Of which 1t has
warmly endorsed.
The Russian government readily adj
mits the sincerity of the American
governments decision and declines
to listen to reports that the forward
ing of the petition has any Interior
significance or is In any way associat-
ed with any other matters.

The disturbances in Croatia began
last Sunday. when 200 armed peasants

Russian government. | am, sir, faith
fully yours, John Hay"
Upon learning that the government
of the United States had decided to
forward the petition to the Russian
government, Count Cassini went to
the state department and consulted
with Secretary Hay.
The call of the ambassador upon
Secretary Hay was shorter than usual,
but 1t developed officially the fact
that the government of the United
States intended to forward the Jewish
petition to the car if it is possible
to do So. At the White house confer
ence on the 18th instant the Jews
had made the point that the car was
kept from knowledge of the truth
as to the condition of the Jews in his
empire by the bureaucrats who
hedged him about on all sides, and
they were sure that il the president
would only assist them in laying their
case before the car himself, he would
at once adopt measures to alleviate
their condition The president at that
hearing promised to do what he could.
1t was at once perceived that to do
what was asked involved the danger
of short reply, and disposition
developed to regard the full publicity
which had been given to the White
house conference as sufficient to meet
the needs of the case. for 1t was as
sumed that the czar could not fail to
see some of the newspaper comments
and reports upon this subject. The
Jews, however, were not satisfied with

The injured are at Mercy hospital,

last evening DIR. Van Werden, who
was caring for them, stated that they
were getting along as well as could
be expected and that unless com.
plications should arise they would all
recover without any permanent IN
jury.
The wreck appears to have been
caused by the negligence of the train
crew of No. So. The officials refused
to discuss the cause, stating that they
would not express themselves until
after the investigation. At the offices
it was learned that No. SO was run
ming about thirty minutes late, as
was No, So. No orders were issued
to No. SO, wing to the understand
ing that they were to remain in the
yards until the arrival of No. 62 Be-

it for granted that No. SO was in on
time and pulled out, Only to discover
their error when it was too late. The
trains met en- reverse curve, both
running at high rate of speed. The
engineers, owing to the curve, were
unable to detect the approach of the

nivaI Results in Injuries to Harry
loman Which May Result in His
Death.

Des Moines, June 27.-Arthur Pool
struck Harry Loman over the head
with base ball bat or a golf stick
last night at 10 o'clock, and Loman's
skull was fractured. He was taken to
Mercy hospital and may live, and
Pool was lodged in Jail.
The affair took place at the south
east corner of the Auditorium in the
Industrial street of the carnival.
Probably 1000 people saw the blow
struck, or heard it. Loman was
quickly removed to the Purity Candy
booth just south of where he fell and
City Physician Smith summoned.
The stories of the trouble agree,
substantially. Pool has been in the
city about six weeks, coming from
Rock Island. He has been working
for Hopkins-Sears during that time
and during this week has been imper-
sonating clown, circulating about
the crowds in the streets and advertis-

party of friends had gone for the
evening.
Loman and his friends were stand
ing at the southeast corner of the
Auditorium about 10 o'clock when
their attention was called to Pool,
who was playing with a couple Of
small boys. Either he ran against
Loman with one of them or Loman
objected to his treatment of them, for
an alteration ensued. Thereupon,
Pool ran to the Hopkins-Sears booth,
about 100 feet to the west of the
place where Loman was standing
and returned with club in his hand
with which he struck Loman over the
head. Loman fell in his tracks and
Pool ran. He was soon arrested and

meeting yesterday was devoted

of retirement is not entertained by

IOWA CHRISTIAN CONVENTION
More Money Urged For Drake Uni
Versity.


Des Moines, June 26.-The Iowa
Christian convention closed the larg-
est part of its executive business
when the reports of the nominating
committee were endorsed without OPP
position. The convention has been
harmonious throughout.

ent and spoke few words to the con-
vention members. Dr. Breeder made

ID. A. Wickizer; second vice president,

The feature of yesterdays session,
and, in fact, of the entire session, of
the Iowa Christian convention, which
yesterday completed its thirty-fourth
annual meeting, at the University
Place Christian church, of this city,
was the spontaneous and enthusiastic
ovation accorded DR.. Susan Rijnhart,
