WASHINGTON, June 30.—When the dis- patch from St. Petersburg saying there | had been no negotiations between Russia and the United:States relative to Presi- dent Roosevelt's intention to forward to the Russian Government a petition from American Jews was shown to Count Cas- sini, the Russian| Embassador, to-day, he thought it too clear to need any com- ment. He confirmed its correctness. It is understood, that the semi-official statement. was issped because of a sen- tional report circulated throughout Eu- rope that Count Cassini had called at the White House in an agitated state of mind to offer formal explanations in the name of his Government for the Kishenev in- cident. ent NOT AMERICA’S AFFAIR. Grand Duke Vladimir Says Interven- . tion Is Out of Question. NEW YORK, June 30.—A speclal dis- | patch to the World from Homburg, Ger- many, reports an interview with the Grand Duke Vladimir, uncle of the Czar, kon the Jewish question in Russia. The Grand Duke sald: There can be no question of the intervention by America In the purely internal affairs of Russia. Nevertheless, I am aware that the re- | 1ations between Russia and America have al- ways been of a very cordial nature, especally since 180, when a Russian fleet visited New York. The Grand Duke was asked what re- | ception would be given the American pe- tition in Russia. He replied: The Jewish agitation is chiefly instigated by inflvential Jews outside of Russia, such as the members of the soclety ifi New York, which has presented a petition, and especially the powerful Jews in Berlin. 1 do not condone the civil administration.

The flagship Kearsarge, the Chicago and the San Francisco will go through the Catte- gat, stopping at Kallundborg, Denmark, for two days. The Machias will go by way of the Kiel canal to Brunsbuttel and thence will rendezvous with the. other American ships off Spithead. The squad- ron will arrive at Portsmouth on July T. The fourteen-oar cutter of the German turret ship Kaiser Wilhelm II beat the Chicago's twelve-oar cutter to-day in a| race -over a two-mile course, covering | the distance in 23 seconds better time. The on dccount of having an extra pair of oars, started fif- teen seconds after the Chicago's boat and finished eight seconds ahead. .. The Kaiser Wilhelm II's cutter is-the won a cup from twelve other German fourteen-oar cutters yesterday. The crew, was ‘the Chicago's winner of seéveral com- petitions in Mediterranean ports this spring. After about a mile and a quar- ter of the course had been covéred the nose of the German boat drew,_ level with | the stern of the Chi¢ago's boat and even- vally, inch by inch, passed the latter and pulled away. The Americans kept up a losing race manfully, but continued to lose ground until the_finish. The yacht Hamburg'beat the Emperor's Meteor in the fifty mile race at Eckern- forde, crossing the finish line a minute and a fraction ahead, which, with the handicap, made the Hamburg win by four- minutes and thirty-elght secands. .

AMERICAN SHIPS ~ POSTAL CLERKS 10 BE REMOVED Postmaster General Will Authorize Numerous - Dismissals. Employes Who Aided to Cover Up Irregularities Must Leave Service. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, June 30.—Postmaster General Payne will authorize a number of dismissals of employes in varfous di- visions of .the First Assistant's office, against whom evidence has been obtained of irregular conduct, but not ©of a suf- ficlently direct nature to obtain indict- ments. It is expected that these will be made Known before he leaves for his Fourth of July vacation. The Investiga- tion conducted by Fourth Assistant Bris- tow shows that there are numerous em- | ployes still in the service who were not only famillar with the irregularities re-| vealed, ‘but also alded in covering them up, if not actually participating in the ill- gotten revenues. It was stated at the Postoffice Depart- ment to-day that the investigation will be extended to the departments headed by Second Assistant Shallenberger, Third . Assistant Madden and Fourth Assistant Bristow. At the same time the statement was alsé volunteered that there will be at least three or four more indictments | returned before the District Attorney fin- ishes with the bureaus under the First Assistant. The announcement was also made to- day that there will be a general reorgan- ization of the bureaus and the general work of the Postal Department after the investigation is concluded, so as to give the Postmaster General and his assist- ants more direct control of all contracts awarded and .upplies asked for and furs nished. This is now acknowledged to be absolutely required in view of the whole- sale firregularities due to the fact that the superior officials had little direct con- trol of the bureau hiefs and the respon- sibility was divided." Decidedly ~ unfavorable comment heard at the Postoffice Department on Charles Emory ‘Smith, the former Post- master General, because of his reflections east upon the investigation and his edi- torfal attack on Seymour Tulloch. It is said_by Tulloch's friends that he may bring action for libel against the former Postmaster General. In a letter given out to-day Tulloch denies that he filed any charges in 1899, and adds that his statement was only an ahstract from a | report made by Inspector Smith. 3 ———————————— Cameras and Photographic Supplies.
