ROR, Wo readily grasp the hand proffered

ship, feeling at the tame time that
blood Is thlckrr than water.
Gentlemen, I propose the toast ot
his excellency, the President of the
United States. God bless him and the
United States.
;
KIEL. Prussia, June 26. Tho dinner 1
given by United States Ambassador Tower
to the German Emperor tonight was made I
the opportunity both by the Emperor and j
tho Ambassador, to utter speeches of po- I
lltical significance. Ambassador Tower I
said:
"It Is with a very great pleasure that I j
have been permitted to present to you j
Rear-Admiral Cotton and the officers of
the United States Navy who accompany
him upon this visit to Kiel In response to
your Invitation. They come here with I
thelr ships of war upon a mission of peace,
hrlnsinir with them cordial sentiment of '
friendship from America to Germany. I
"I am convinced, sir, that you and your i
i
return towards the President and people of j
the United States. Your Interest in us has
prpvedihls' on .many inemomW .occasions..
especially upon uiai oi me visit or JtUH
Royal Highness, Prince Henry, who was
received throughout the country with
demonstrations of hearty and sincere wel
come, and who, when he embarked, left
behind them the universal wish that he
would visit us again.
Further Evidence of Friendship.
"You have also given proof of.these sen
timents in the present you made of mag
nificent casts to Harvard University. Mu
tual understanding between nations, as
between individuals, is best attained by
personal Intercourse, which leads to better
acquaintance, and It Is a happy outcome
of an occasion like this that friends
strengthen their friendship which, in the
case of two great powers like Germany
and the United States, is a benefit to the
whole civilization, extension of commerce
and the peace of the world.
"The closer our acquaintance becomes
the more we are sure to discover how
near our paths He to each other, how
readily we may follow them together, and
how much wo have each to gain by the
malntalnence of harmony In the future as ;
well as In the present and In the nast. 1
America wishes this, sir, with all sin
cerity. There are hundreds of thousands
of people of German birth or German ex
traction living in the United States who
look back from their new home with feel
ings of tender affection towards their
Fatherland. They are among the best of
our citizens. They bring with them habits
of thrift and Industry and high ideals of
domestic life inherited from their ances
tors, and which have contributed to make
America what It is. These people will
rejoice as we all rejoice at the Incidents
that are taking place at Kiel and they, as
all Americans, will be happy at the as
surance we derive from your presence
here tonight.
"Speaking for the Nation, I have the
honor to convey to you the cordial greet
ings and hearty good wishes of the Presi
dent and the people of the United States."
Mr. Tower then proposed the health of
the German Emperor, the Empress, the
Crown Prince and the members of the Im
perial family. Emperor William, speak
ing In English, made the following reply:
"In responding to your excellency's
warm and sympathetic toast, I offer a
cordial welcome to the American squad
ron, Admiral Cotton and bis officers, in the
name of the German people. We look
upon them as the bearers of the friendly
sentiments of the citizens of the United
States, to -which I can assure your excel
lency the -whole of Germany heartily re
sponds. I am happy that my hopes for a
better mutual understanding between our
two countries through the personal Inter
course t which my brother. Prince Henry,
was able to hold with your excellency's
countrymen, have been fully realized, and
have strengthened the bond! of friendship
between Germany and America.
"That. my gifts of casts of mediaeval
German architecture have been received in
so gracious manner by Harvard gives me
the greatest satisfaction. I hope that the
samples relating to our old history will
entice many young students to come over
and study the originals and the people
who live around them.
Closer Relations Heartily Desired.
"My slnccrest wish Is that our two peo
ple may become closer acquainted. Xo
serious citizen In America or Germany, I
trust, believes that the harmony and con
tinuance of our mutual interests could be
disturbed by permanent factors in our
relationship. "We are knit too closely to
gether to allow of the development of any
antagonism. It Is my firmest conviction
that the fact of so many thousands of Ger
mans living and thriving In the United
States, with their hearts still warm with
their love of their old fatherland, will ren
der the task more easy of smoothing the
patch of undisturbed and progressive re
lations which are ever of vital importance
to our countries.
"It Is now my duty to beg your excel
lency to thank His Excellency, the Presi
dent of the United States, for this Joyous
occasion for which we are Indebted to his
kindness. Wo all over here admire his
firmness of character, his iron will, his
devotion to his" country and his indomi
table energy and readllv trraun th hnni
proffered to us across the sea In cordial
friendship, feeling at the same time that J
blood Is thicker than water. . '
"Gentlemen I propose the toast of His !
I Excollency. the President of the United
States: 'God, bless him and the United
States.' "

ROOSEVELT MADE A SURPRISE
It Is Hoped That the President "Will
Vet Change His Decision About
Presenting the Petition of
tae H'nal B'rith.
While Russia will show the Ameri
can Minister every courtesy when be
presents the petition of the B'&al
B'rith, asking for better treatment of
subjects ot the Cxar, It will refuse to
receive the note. Its llrst determina
tion to brook no foreign Interference
will be strictly adhered tc.
Russia retdily admits the sincerity of
the United States' decision, and de
clines to listen to reports that the for
warding of the petition has any ulterior
significance or is In any way con
nected with any other matters.
WASHINGTON, June 26. The Russian
government has learned with profound re
gret of the intention of the Washington
authorities to forward to St. Petersburg
a petition from American Jews relative to
Russia's treatment of her Jewish subjects.
It Is yet .hoped that the United States will
oppreclate the Russian view of the case,
and will content itself with the kindly ex-
Passions of sympathy which It has al-
reaay ouerea ior me anair at -n-jsmnei.
The Associated Press already has stated
tho Russian position regarding what Is
considered outside Interference In the in-
ternal affalrs o ussIa; P03"0"
- - :
Preas la urther Permitted to say that Mr.
Iddle. ic American Charge, when he
Presents the petition at the Russian For-
elgn 0fflce vr,n bo recelved wIth tho
same cordlalty always accorded an Amei-
lca" enV0J'' In "turning the petition to
Mr. Riddle, the officials will assure him
hat Russia cherishes no Ill-will toward
the United States, and that the action it
takes with respect to the petition Is neces-
Bary In vIew" o Ru83,a's unalterable policy
of refraining from Interference In the In
ternal affairs of other powers, and In
sisting on similar treatment for itself. ,
The Russian government hopes Its firm
ness In the matter will not bo misunder
stood, but In view of the announcement of
Its position weeks ago, it Is surprised
at developments which will force a reiter
ation of Its views.
Mr. Riddle, It can be stated, will be sub
ject to no personal embarrassment In pre
senting the petition, and he will be given
to understand that the St- Petersburg au
thorities appreciate the fact that he is
only carrying out his orders.
Should the presentation of the petition
be deferred until the return to St. Peters
burg of Mr. McCormlck, tho American
Ambassador to Russia, the same pro
gramme will obtain, unless in the mean
time the Russian government Is made
aware of extenuating circumstances
which put the matter in a different light.
Indeed, It Is declared Russia would be
glad to do anything possible to relieve the
tension In the United States. The Rus
sian" government readily admits the sin
cerity of the American Government's de
cision, and declines to listen to reports
that the forwarding of the petition has
any ulterior significance or Is In any way
associated with any other matters.

session of the Kansas Legislature ended
this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Over 50 bills

POU-GHKEEPSIE. N. Y.. June 25. For
the first time in years, there were distinct
surprises" In the Intercollegiate races hero
today. Two crews of practically un

not predicted or had not hoped for them
anything better than fourth or fifth places
In their respective races, each finished
second In the two most Important Taces
of the day- The Syracuse University crow-took-
such close second honors in tho
freshman race that f or the last half-mile
It was a serious question whether her
boys would not pull to victory.
Georgetown University, in the 'varsity
race, while finishing a very bad. second
to the phenomenal crew put In the raco
by Cornell University, walked away from
tho other four crews In tho race, old-timers,
with the exception of Syracuse, In a
manner that made the rowing sharps sim
ply throw up their hats for Joy.
Columbia Disappoints AH.
The Columbia. University crews, from
which much had been promised, finished
in the worst possible shape, although In
the betting. In the general predictions
and in the prognostications of her coach
Columbia was supposed to have an ex
cellent chance in both the four-oared and
'varsity races. As it was, she finished last
In the four-oared race, simply beaten out
by even Wisconsin, which university had.

In the freshman race she was the fourth

nothing had been expected, as her crew

In the 'varsity race Columbia finished

Is the consensus of opinion tonight that
had the Cornell 'varsity crew been pressed
the record would have been broken evea
in that race.
The 'varsity race, as a matter of fact,
was a miserable walk-over. Cornell took
the lead before the mile point had been
reached, and rowed away from, her com
petitors so easily that at no time wa3
she ever pressed for the first place. The
result "was that in the last mile, where,
