The Time' St. Petersburg cprrenjioBdeitt reports that there has been nccere rioting at Minsk, during -which nearly 100 persons ware shot. ST. PETERSBURG. June 9. (Midnight.) 31. Boutiron, first secretary of the French Embassy, had a long conference with Foreign Minister LamsdorfC this afternoon, and M. Bompard, the French Ambassador, is hurrying back from Paris. France, instead of displaying jealousy at tne initiative taken by President Roose velt with a view to bringing Russia and Japan together for peace, has apparently warmly welcomed it and will give it co operation. No further definite develop ment Is now expected until President Roosevelt returns to Washington from his trip to Virginia. Statements in the dispatches that the President's sole aim is to bring the war ring powers together in direct negotia tions have been confirmed. There has been no undertaking on his part to ap prise Russia of the Japanese terms, nor it is believed, to find a preliminary basis for negotiations. The main obstacle to the President's crforts has been removed with the Emperor's acquiescence in his Initiative, and negotiations are probably now proceeding at Toklp. Russia's Probable Representative. When the question of the naming of peace plenipotentiaries is raised, the name of George de Stal, who preceded Count Benkeudorff as Russian Ambassador at London, and who was president of the peace conference at The llague in 1K3, at once occurs to every Russian. Notwithstanding the progress already made, a great deal of skepticism is mani fested in certain quarters as to the re sult of President Roosevelt's efforts. The public seems reluctant to believe that the Emperor could have assented to any thing like a movement toward peace. Some cynics even try to create the Im pression that Russia only seeks to ascer tain Japan's terms and then, by Haunting the hard conditions Imposed in the faces of the representatives of the people when they meet, to arouse the whole nation to resist them. Such talk, however, is mere irresponsi ble chatter. The Emperor has cast the die and will make peace If Japan's terms be such that Russia can accept them with dignity. The Emperor, it must be pointed out, has not sued for peace, lie has only assented to a proposition submitted by the head of a .friendly power, and the matter officially goes no further than that Russia, now as ever, is ready to sec if a common basis can be reached. Zemstvoists Threaten Czar. The commencement of formal peace ne gotiations, especially if coupled with the prompt 'announcement of the convoking of a national assembly, may avert the threatened crisis which the Liberals are forcing on the government, or it may ordy tserve'to precipitate IL Moscow is now a perfect hotbed of pro test against the existing regime, and the address which the deputation from the all Russian Zemstvo Congress has brought to St. Petersburg to present to the Em pcror has fairly stunned the members ot the government. Nothing approaching such language as that used in the docu ment from men of such standing as those who signed It has ever before been heard In Russia. There Is a peremptory ring about it which is ominous. Those bear lng the address came to St. Petersburg claiming to bo the plenipotentiaries or the Russian people delivering an uui matum, not begging terms, but demand ing rights, and almost threatening the government with civil war if It docs "not v eld. What is more ominous still is that the bodv which this deputation represents has not left Moscow, but has only adjourned. awaiting the Emperor s reply. ZEMSTV 7)IS'J TS AWAIT ANSWER Delegates All Have Right to Present Memorials to Czar. ST: PETERSBURG. June 9.-16:45 P. M.) The important fact developed today that the Moscow mooting of Zemstvoists and Mayors has not finally adjourned, but only temporarily adjourned to await tne Emperor's answer to the deputation dis patched to him with the sensational ad dresses telegraphed from Moscow yester day demandng the immediate convocation of a National Assembly. Count Hayden, who heads the deputation, is here trying to arrange for its reception, which he would like to take place on Monday, when the other members arrive. They are all marshals of the nobility, and all, there fore, by an ancient law of Russia, are guaranteed the right to present memo rials direct to the wcrelgn.

Aside irom one or two feeble efforts to open peace negotia tions, there were no developments today in the teamsters' strike. The attempts at peace failed utterly. The chief ef fort toward a settlement was maae oy a committee of the teamsters, which at tempted to open separate negotiations with the large State-street department stores. Every effort of the strikers In this direction has heretofore produced no result whatever, and the move of today met the same fate as Its predecessors. Announcement was made today by the Employers Teaming Company that men were reporting daily to its agents in seven cities, and that It would bo possible to rush to cnicago men a day. in me event of a further extension of the strike. The garmentworkers, the original cause of the present strike, have come to the conclusion that the teamsters have tor gotten the "sympathy" which two months ago prompted them to strike in aid of the tailors. At a meeting of all the special order locals the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That In the event of the Teun- ctere' Union calling off their strike. It be the Rente of the organisation that such ac tion shall not terminate In any way the struggle which the garnientworkera axe carrying on against the National Wholesale Tailors Association, unless the teamsters' settlement carries with It a satisfactory set tlement of the garmentworkers demands. George J. Jackson - a tallyman em ployed by a lumber company, has been attacked by three union "sluggers" and probably fatally injured. His assailants. who escaped, accused him of being a strikebreaker. Forty Union Men Sent to Jail. PHILADELPHIA, Pa.. June 9. Forty members of the local branch- of the National Structural Ironworkers' and Bridgcbullders "Union were today com mitted to prison without ball to await the result of the injuries of Edward Joyce, -who Is said to be dying in a hospital. Joyce is a member of tne local brldgebullders union, and last nirrht attended a meetinir of the or ganization. He was shot during the meeting, but has steadfastly refused to say who shot him or to make a state ment as to the causo of the shooting. The 40 other members of the union now under arrest are equally reticent. They were arraigned for a hearing- be fore a Magistrate today, and all re fused to answer questions. -May Combine Clothing Unions. NEW YORK. June 9.

LEAD Pacific and "Willamette Stand Xo Chance, but Work of Their Best 3Icn Will Have Direct Effect on Result. "WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY. Salem. June'9. (Special.) The eve of the annual intercollegiate field meet finds the re sult more In doubt than ever before. While there Is no doubt that the coveted cup will so to Corvallls or the University of Ore gon, which of these will be the winner depends upon the work of Willamette and Pacific, though neither of the latter has a chance of securing the trophy. 3Ien In authority, from Eugene figured tonight that barring accidents the chances are even between the two state schools, but the success or failure of Willamette and Pacific In the events In which they have strong men may give the victory very' decisively to one or the other of lh leading contestants. Peterson of Pacific Is counted a winner of points In a number of events, but it Is said that in order not to overwork. he will drop out of some events and cen ter his efforts upon the others. He Is slated for the 100-yard dash, broad jump. half mile. 230-yard dash. 410-yard run and the relay race, but no man can enter In all and hope to win, so he will be com pelled to drop some. Work of Little Colleges. His choice of those he will drop will have an important bearing upon the points earned by Eugene and Corvallls. For instance, if he drops out of the half It will greatly Increase O. A. C. a chances of victory, for It will not only give Grcen- shaw that race, but will leave Peterson In good shape to take a place In the 23). which U. of O. needs. The place that Gates of Pacific will take In the mile Is also Important. If he wins, as many claim that he will. O. A. C. will lose five points counted as sure by that team. For Willamette, the work ot Miller. Lounsberry and Shanks will have an Im portant bearing on the result. Ford would have been counted in on this, but he was hit on the foot with a discus yesterday and will probably be unable to go on the track. Coach Hayward asserts that Miller will take second in the quarter, but If he should fall to do this. It will count three more points for Corvallls Instead of two. Coach Keller asserts that Lounsberry will take first In the high jump, and If he does, it will hurt the Eugene team. Shanks In the mile is. rather an unknown quan tity, but he Is almost sure of a good place. Oregon Xot So Sure. Coach Hayward up to a few days ago was confident of victory, but tonight he has two cripples on his team, which fact materially lessens his chances of vic tory. FriesselL Oregon's star man who won 20 points In the contest with the University of Washington, is suffering irom a spilt muscle, and may be unable to fulfill expectations. He will skip the 100-yard dash and will enter the broad jump and the 220-yard dash. His con dition then will determine whether he will continue In the meet. Kuykendall has a sprained ankle, which will trouble him In the pole vault, broad jump and hurdles, if not keep him out of some of these altogether. If these two men fall to do their .stunts properly. U. of O. loses. With Eugene and Corvallls evenly matched In the preliminary estimates the victory may go to either by a good score. especially in view of the fact that the high Jump, pole vault and hurdle races are events In which sure winners often fall. the valley and.

Professor Hugo R. Meyer, of the University of Chi cago, addressing the National Confedera tion of Millers today on the question of Governmental regulation of railroad rates, maintains that "whenever the public reg ulation of railway rates has sought to do more than to eliminate secret rebates and to guarantee that rates shall be rea sonable per se. It has arrested the decline of railway rates and has led to the adoption of the distance tariff. "The conflicts of interest between rival producing regions, manufacturing and trade centers are so fierce." he said, "that no government that permits Itself to be Ai-aum Inin lhpm ran atand un under the sectional feelings thus aroused unless that government shall settle these conflicts upon some hard and fast mechanical KkIii tv-Mrh rwrmlts of no exercise of judgment or discretion. The Interstate Commerce Commission developed certain mvinnlnil and hnrd-ancl-fast rules for settling conflicts of localities and of in tereststhe doctrine that railway rates must be based on 'commercial consiacra tlons. as well as the doctrine that no nannn Vnav tw dtnrived of the advan tages accruing to him by virtue of his geographical position, or. conversely, that no person may be relieved of the disa bilities under which he labors oy virtue f Vil f Anrranhleal oosltlon. These dOC- irin.s roonit in ratp made on the basis of distance. Therefore, tho important de cisions of the Commission have generally been made by means of the application of .the distance tanns. DANGER IN SUBMARINES Slight Deflection of Rudder Caused Disaster at Plymouth. PLYMOUTH. June S.-Submarlne boat A-S. which was lost off the breakwater here yesterday morning, rests on an een keel in a sandy bottom. Thirteen bodies are still entombed In the boat, divers who worked all day long recovering only one body. It Is expected that the vessel win be refloated tomorrow. The dangers Incident to the employment of submarine vessels received a fresh Il lustration at the court of Inquiry Into the loss of the A-S. which was held here today. The evidence went to support the theory that the accident was due to the deflection of the horizontal, rudder, while the boat was running lightly on the sur face of her full buoyancy and the cover of the conning tower open. The effect of the rudder being deflected under such conditions was the rapid downward move ment which has been described as a "dip." This brought the top of the conning Tower awash, admitting an onrush of water. The divers discovered that there were no holes In the vessel.
