PRESIDENT UNABLE TO ACT
CANNOT DO ANYTHING AT PRES.
ENTTo PREVENT MASSACRE
OF RUSSIAN JEWS.

Washington, Nov. T. President
Roosevelt has decided that no action
can be taken by this government at
present which will be Of any benefit
to the Jews of Russia. This informa-
an was made public at the White
during the day in the following
staecment: .--.--
Oscar Strauss called on the presi-
dent, not to ask him for action but
to consult with him as to whether
there was any possibility of action
which would result in cessation of
the horrors connected with the mas
sacre of the Jews in Russia. The pres
!; ident stated that of course he had
been watching with the deepest con
Germ the reports of these massacres:
that he had been appealed to within
the past few weeks to try to take some
action not only on behalf Of the Jews
in Russia, but in behalf of the Arme-
mans, Poles and Firms. The result
of the presidents inquiries comedies
with the statements contained In a
cablegram from Count Witte to Jacob
H. Schiff, shown the president by Mr..
Strauss, as follows:
The government Is Mortified at
these outrages. You know that l do
not sympathize with such savage out
breaks. All l can do to stop the dis
orders is done, but as the country is
in such unsettled state the local au-
thorities are often Dowerless.'

APPEALS FOR CONFIDENCE.
Count Witte Asks Russians to Support
Government

Count Witte Asks Russians to Support
Government.
st. Petersburg, Nov. THE Official
Messenger prints another strongly
worded appeal for confidence. 1t bears
Count Witte's earmarks, hints strongly
that the empire is threatened with dis
memberment unless the people rally
to it's support and draws attention to
the different character OF the repre-.
sentations with which the government
is being besieged to quell the existing
disorders in the country, some OF them
complaining of the zeal OF the troops
and others OF their inacuion, some ask
ing for military protection and others
for the entire removal of the soldiers.
+ although it Is impossible in every
case, the note says. ito diagnose the
true cause of the conflicts it is clear
that their origin generally is the hos.
tility aroused among the different
classes of the population. Those who
are dissatisfied with the manifesto pro-
woke the indignation of those who re-
ceived it with gratitude, leading to
attacks and counter-attacks, all of
which could be avoided if the people
only had confidence that the reforms
set forth in the imperial manifesto will
be executed. Disorders accomplish
nothing and only delay the reforms,
which are designed to give the people
a representative assembly in which to
settle their differences. The duty OF
every faithful subject of the emperor
is to aid in the pacification OF the
country"

.cAsTR0's REPLY EvAsIvE
FRENCH OFFICIALS NOT Salts
FLED WITH ANSWER OWEN.
EzuELAN RULER.

Paris, Nov. THE officials here say
that President Castro's answer to Mr..
Russell, the American minister at
Caracas, in response to the latter's eff
forts to bring about settlement of the
diplomatic dispute between France
and Venezuela, is unsatisfactory and
evasive, as he does not respond to
some OF the main questions Mr.. Rus
sell submitted in behalf of France. At
the same time it is said that the ne
gotiations will not be broken off, as
the French officials continue hopeful
of a pacific adjustment.
Castro's answer reaffirmed the will
ingness of the Venezuelan government
to withdraw it's note concerning NJ
Taigny, French charge d'aftaires at
Caracas, if the French government
likewise would recall it's request that
Venezuela withdraw that part of it's
note which gave notice that Venezuela
would not treat further with M. Taigny
until he apologiZed for his statement
that the French Cable company had
been treated unjustly.

RESULT OF GAS EXPLOSION
FOUR PERSONS DEAD AND MORE
THAN A DOZEN INJURED,
THREE FATALLY.

Ishpeming, Mich, Nov. -Four chill
dren are dead, three persons probably
fatally hurt and a dozen other people
are injured as the result of an explo.
sion, which completely destroyed the
Miners National bank. The dead are:
Stephen Goodman, aged twelve; L.o-
retta McGee, aged ten; Edward Nc.
Grath, aged twelve; Edward Kiser,
aged fourteen.
James +. Mullen, an employe of the
bank; Thomas Flanagan, aged sew.
enty years, and Mrs. l.. F. Small were
fatally injured.
Two steamfitters had been engaged
to make repairs to the heating plant
and as they entered the building they
detected the smell OF gas. They
thought little of the circumstance,
however, and as they passed into the
furnace room they struck match to
light the gas jet. A tremendous ex.
plosion followed. The two Workmen
were blown through basement win
dow and landed uninjured in an open
boXcar standing on nearby track.
Another car was blown from the rails.
The building was completely wrecked.
The four children killed were pass
ing the building on their way home
from church and were caught in the
falling debris.
The explosion broke windows in
many stores in the business district
and scattered the papers of the bank
for blocks, but the bank vaults appar-
emily are intact.
James Mullen was in his Office in the
bank building when the accident oc.
Cured and he was not taken from the
debris until the rescuers had worked
for two hours in clearing away the
wreckage. The bodies OF the killed
were fearfully mangled.

TioNs ARE IMPROVED.

London, Nov. THE desperate con-
d1tion OF the poor of London was
brought to the notice of Premier Bal
four during the day by an enormous
crowd of wives and other women rel.
Rtives of the unemployed, who did not
hesitate to tell the premier that unless
something is speedily done to lessen
their .sufferings there will be blood.
she'd
Don't forget that hungry men are
desperate men" said one of the speak
ers, all of whom had the same tale to
tell of husbands out OF work and stary-
ing wives and children The pinched
faces and tattered clothing of the
women, some of whom had babies in
their arms, bore eloquent testimony Of
the truth of the complaints. Enormous
crowds of women from all parts OF
London marched through the streets,
headed by deputation which Mr.. Bal
four received at the Office of the local
government board.
The "Marsellaise" was heard as the
procession advanced, perhaps the first
time it was ever heard under such cir
cumstances in the streets of London.
Only thirty women were admitted to
the presence Of Mr.. Balfour. The pre-
mier was very sympathetic. He ac-
knowledged that the evil was very real.
but he had little to suggest in the way
of alienation except an expression of
hope that public charity would come
to the aid of the unemployed.
At a mass meeting later the reply
of Mr.. Balfour was declared unworthy
of the head of great nation and his
name was repeatedly hissed.

New York, Nov. 7.-One of the most
remarkable political campaigns in New
York city's history has closed. The
variety OF sudden, startling moves on
the municipal checkerboard have over
turned all precedent, upset all calcu.
lations and have rendered useless all
systems for forecasting the probable
outcome. The two old party organi
cations have been invaded by new
and great force, which under the name
OF the Municipal Ownership league and
with William r. Hearst as it's candi-
date for mayor, has conducted a cam
paign SO vigorous and so well man
aged that the city has been asronished
at its strength. At first it was be-
ieved that this movement was one

st. Petersburg, Nov. 1.-THE news
from the interior shows that there
has been little improvement in the
situation. In some places disorders
have recommended with redoubled
fury. The horrible story Of massacre
at Odessa is not fully known here. In
the Caucasus the Tartars and Russians
are cutting each others throats and
the Armenians are giving themselves
up 10 pillage and incendiarism.
From Bachmut, Bessarabia, comes
an entirely new revolving tale. A
three days attack on the Jews began
Thursday with every indication of po-
lice organization. Jewish students
were beaten, the Jewish stores in the
markets were sacked during the day
and during the night the plunder Of
residences commenced.

the Hearst movement would decline

BOTH PARTIES CLAIM OHIO.
Campaign Has Been One of the Hottest
in States History.

Columbus, O., Nov 7.-One of the
hottest campaigns in the history of
Ohio closed with a roar of emphatic
oratory and in haze of uncertainty
as to the outcome. The chairmen of
the two parties give out estimates
based on a poll of the state which are
SO far apart as to add to the uncer-
tainty rather than to indicate a pos
sible middle ground. For the Repub-
icans Senator Dick said that his poll
most conservatively made indicated
that Governor Herrick will be re-
elected by not less than $4,000 plural
ity. while Chairman Garder of the
Democratic committee announced that
an extremely conservative summing
up of his poll for the state showed a
certainty of John NJ. Pattison's cleo
ton by $4,000 plurality.
It is reasonably certain that Ohio
