ROUNDABOUT WAY TO GET
A HEARING BY THE CZAR.
The Effort Is Discredited at Wash
ington and the Document Is Sent
Out of Consideration for the Emi
nence of the Petitioners and Char
acter of the Subject,
sla's refusal to accept the petition,
the desired effect will bo obtained.
, It Is now learned thnt had Uooaevelt
followed his own Impulse ho would
' have thrown tho petition at the Im
perial palace and told tho cxnr to
make the most of It. Ho argued In
the conference with Hay and Boot,
that It would bo moro of nn Insult to
us for Bussla to rofuso to receive It
than Its presentation to them would
bo after wo wore Informed they did
not want It Hay ami Boot, however,
convinced him he must take the usual
formal course or violate all diplomat
ic prcedents. Tho president agreed
finally that wo have no more business
meddling In ltussla's International af
fairs than they In ours.
The Incident will undoubtedly have
a bearing on our future diplomatic
dealings with tho cz.nr. A high
source says It adds Just ono more
straw to the bitterness and suspicion
tho president feels for Russian states
manship, nud when tho time is vipo in
the future to express resentment In
mole emphatic terms, noono who
knows the president will doubt his
doing so, as he never forgets. The
president has often said that he be
ll 'es war with Bussln Is more likely
to occur than with Geimany, In sp'to
el all written to tho contrary.
