THE JIORXI tf POST, THURSDAY, JVLX 9 93 Secretary Hoy and the President Are in Accord Their Views Are the Same as to Russian Unfriendliness. Still Determined to ; Present the Jew . ish Petition TTathlngtou. July 8. Secretary of State Hay returned to Washington to lay from Oyster Bay. where he spent yesterday In consultation with the president. Senator Hanna and Senator Fairbanks. While averse to paying any attention to the reports that he had reigned or would resign his port folio on account of dissatisfaction with the course of the president In not con sulting him before directing the Issu ance of the statement attributed to the state department, accusing Russia of unfriendliness toward the United States in the Manchurian matter, Mr. Hay. after some hesitation, consented to have said publicly what he had said privately to The Sun representative, that the reports mentioned were en tirely untrue. He emphasized this witii the remark that he had not the sllght- est Intention or aesire 10 Roosevelt's cabinet. There are the best of reasons for be lieving that Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Hay are In thorough accord on matters concerning the foreign relations situa tion. This statement, having been Issued, however, with the ostensible sanction of Mr. Hay's own department, his loy alty to the president would not permit him to say that had his advice been sought he would have insisted upon or advocated that the language should have been changed or that it should have not been Issued at all. The main point Is that the Issuance of the state ment has not made the slightest dif ference in the extremely cordial offl clal and personal relations between the president and the secretary. In this connection it may t said that Mr. Hay - in thorough accord with the presi dent In believing that the Russian gov ernment was guilty of an action little ihort of Insolent in causing to be given out to the American press, through Its err.bsjy In Washington, an announce ment that Russia would not receive from a foreign power any communi cation bearing upon Russian matters of purely domestic concern. It was this announcement that produced that statement In which Russia was ac cused of unfriendliness toward this government. President Roosevelt is as determined as ever to send to the Russian govern ment the petition based on the Klshl neff massacre prepared by the B'nal irrtth. begging the czar to ameliorate the condition of the Jews In Russia. Copies of this petition have been cir culated all over the United States, and many of the copies, containing thou sands of signatures, are being received at the state department. When the last petitions have been delivered at tit; department Mr. Hay will forward ;hem to Mr. Riddle, the United States charge d'affaires at St. Petersburg. with instructions concerning their pre sentation. It is believed that Mr. Rld hle will be directed to ascertain from the Russian foreign office whether the czar will receive a respectful petition from a large number of American cltl tens concerning the KIshlneff affair and the treatment of Jews In Russia. Without doubt he will be told that the czar cannot receive any communication dealing with a matter of purely domes tic concern to Russia. This will prob ably end the exchanges between the two governments on the subject. Although the Chinese plenipotentia ries In the negotiations at Shanghai, through which the United States gov ernment Is endeavoring to secure by treaty the opening of ports in Man churia to foreign trade, are not show ing any signs of a willingness to meet the desires of the American negotia tors, the "stata department has by no means abandoned hope that the treaty will contain a provision throwing open two, and perhaps three, Manchurian ports to American trade. Advices received by the government indicate that Russia will go to ex tremes to prevent a coalition of the United States with England nnd Japan In connection with the Russian policy toward Manchuria, and it will not sur- rrlse well Informed otnciais u tiiww month, but the cornralsroc-ers iv.i. in iii M tc ifl woiK as as possibl-2 until the beginnin winter season.

For more than a year Mr. McPheeters has been too feeble to walk and has been rolled about in his invalid chair, but so anxious was he to attend divine service that his chair was brought near the pulpit every Sunday, where he could drink in the words of the preacher, Mr. McPheeters was one of the In corporators of the Raleigh and Sea board Railroad in 1874. He was also deeply interested in the state fair, be ing a life member and bne of the oldest members of the executive committee. At one time he was director of the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad. Mr. McPheeters' ( health gave way about two years ago, and since then he has steadily declined. His strength has gradually left him, though he showed no decided change at any one time. He had been speechless since last Friday and was unconscious all yesterday, and his spirit left Its mor tal abode just as the sun was sinking behind the western horizon. , - The surviving members of the family are a devoted wife, formerly Miss Fan nie Leftwich of Liberty, Va.; six chil drenMrs. Samuel M.

SSMT. i 4, ( imp Mr. Alexander Miller McPheeters, one of Raleigh's oldest and most hon ored citizens, passed away at 6.55 last afternoon at his home on South Daw son street. Mr. McPheeters was in his 76th year, and most of his life had been spent in Raleigh, his native city, where he was prominent both in church and state. - - Mr. A. M. McPheeters was born In Raleigh, March 29th, 1828,. being the youngest son of Rev. William Mc Pheeters,, D. D., wko came to Raleigh about 1818 as "pastor of the city of Raleigh" and principal of the academy here. Many of Raleigh's leading citi zens of the next generation were edu cated under Dr. McPheeters tutelage. During Dr. McPheeters' ministry the Presbyterian church In Raleigh as sumed the influential position which it has since maintained. . Mr. McPheeters was a child when his beloved father died, and he was edu cated in the school of Mr. Gray here. While a youth he went to Norfolk and became a clerk. Later he was a suc cessful commission merchant of that city. At that time shipments from New York to Raleigh had to be first consigned to Norfolk and reshipped from there; hence-Mr. McPheeters- did a large business in handling goods des tined for this state. . . ' V During his residence In Norfolk Mr. IcPheeters met with a peculiar acci Lient. that lamed him for life. He grap- t plea .with a burglar in hisr store, ard aunng tne scume. was thrown against a box, breaking his knee.' .Ever after wards" he walked with, a cane. ; " .When Norfolk was .captured" by, the Federal troops lip! 1862 Mr. ;McPheeters came back -to "Raleigh'. 3e exvpd as executive clerk under Gor. pZiB. Vance from 1863,- to 1865, arid- at the time "of the surrender was performing the du ties of- private secretary. Mr. .Mc Pheeters was most serviceable to Gov ernor Vance and "the state in directing the . procuring1 - and moving; bf sup plies for the Confederate troops, r His official connection -with the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad and Ills acquaint ance with transportation proved ? most valuable in. this wprk. ; .
