WOULD GIVE UP TERRITORY Disarmament of Vladivostok and In hibition of Warships in Eastern Waters Arc Strenuously Op posed hy the Czar. ST. PETERSBURG. June 1L (11:15 P. M.) Russia is waiting: for Japan to fix the time and the place "when and whore the Japenese terms will be placed in the hands of Russia's representatives. The Foreign Office expects that the delay will be brief. The Emperor's government would prefer that Paris should be the scene of the initial step, but it is explained to the Associated Press that neither the place nor the personality of the Russian rep resentatives matters greatly. The Rus sian representative will not be a pleni potentiary with full power to negotiate. Ills duty will probably bo confined to the reception and transmission to his govern ment of tho Japanese terms for decision rs to whether they afford a basis for ac tual peace negotiations. He will be clothed with power to effect an agreement for the suspension of hostilities, which suspension will probably be for a very limited period, during which Russia must deride the momentous question of peace or a prolongation of the war. During this temporary armistice both countries probably will be free to con tinue the movement of troops and muni tions of war within prescribed limits, al though nothing definite on this point will be known until the meeting takes place. Looking for a Basis. I' Russia finds in the terms a basts under which negotiations can proceed. l'-gular plenipotentiaries will be ap pointed, the number being decided by the belligerents themselves, and then It is not Impossible that the negotiations might be transferred to Manchuria, as Presl nt Roosevolt is believed to have sug gested. it is stated at the Foreign Onlce that the question of plenipotentiaries has not Set been officially considered, but It Is regarded as almost certain that Baron Rosen, the Ambassador to the United States, on account of his long and Inti mate acquaintance with the Far Eastern affairs, beside his familiarity with the Japanese, will be seloctcd. George ie Staal. who preceded Count BenckendorfC as Russian Ambassador at London, and who was president of the peace conference at The Hague In 1839. might be another, although his advanced age and the fact that he has been for some years out of touch with active d'plomacy might militate against him. The number of plenipotentiaries would be a matter of mutual agreement, though Russian precedents lean to two. After the fall of Sebastopol in the Crimean War, when tho internal situa' tlon, financially and otherwise, was much worso than it Is today, and when Nicho las J. irresolute to go on In the face of Austria's threat to Join the allies, finally decided to. accept Prince Gortchakoffs contemptuous advice,. "If we cannot fight. then make Tpcace," two plenipotentiaries. Count Orloff and Baron Bruno, con d acted the negotiations for Russia. Again, at the end of the Russo-Turklsh "War the same number, M. Ignatleff and SI. Illdoff, concluded the treaty of San Stepbano, although later Prince Gortchakoff himself was the only Russian in the Congress of Berlin. President Roosevelt also might be of service In arranging these preliminaries, but Russia would be disposed to respect his advice to settle all questions after the first mooting directly with Japan. While proffering all the aid In his power it is well understood hero that the Presi dent, having served to bring the irepre pcntatlvcs of the warring countries face to face, believes it would be to the best interests of all concerned that he step aside. The United States, it is recognised here, desires to keop all the powers out of temptation when the spoils of war come to be divided, and this position Is consid ered to be the logical sequence of the pledges secured by Secretary Hay at the opening of the conflict,. Wang Support of the Kaiser. The statement in these dispatches last rk that Emperor William warmly sup ported President Roosevelt's efforts is confirmed and Information now in the possession of the Associated Press indi cates that the German Emperor not only heartily approves the President's course, but may have his share In it, as he did l:i the case of Secretary Hay's note to the powers, of which he was the actual 'rsplration. Sccrotary Hay's action has been in rsed by practically all the Buropoan powers, notably France. Great Britain and Italy, and the fact that both bellig erents now understand the solidarity of th powers in the view that the time has rnc to end the lamentable struggle If pr?slble. is a moral issue on both, which v. ill compel them to come to terms or face the disapprobation of the civilized world. Too much credit of the President's dip lomatic triumph cannot be bestowed on Ambassador Meycr who handled the Rus sian end with consummate skill, keeping his own counsel even against the appeals cf his colleagues in tho diplomatic corps and going straight to the throne with the President's message, thus avoiding the formalities of delays and possible compli cations of the regular bureaucratic chan nels. President Roosevelt, through Ambassa dor Meyer, has cent a personal message of thanks to Emperor Nicholas lor tne reception of his appeal. England Expected to Influence Japs In diplomatic circles here it is felt that Great Britain can now play a great Tole In seconding the President's initiative by restraining her ally and counseling mod eration. Harsh and humiliating terms would not be accepted, and for that rea son diplomatic circles express the great est skepticism as to whether Japan, elated by her wonderful victories, will be reasonable enough to offer a basis which Russia can possibly accept. If at the end Russia were forced to humble herself in the dust her ignominy would spur her to seek rc'engo, as Alsace and Lorraine did France for many years. There Is an infinite amount of gossip hero about Japan's terms, but it Is almost altogether irresponsible, the best Informed members of the diplomatic corps, even the British Embassy, being convinced that. while the main outlines are matters of common knowledge in America and in the chancellories of Europe, Japan has not revealed her exact terms even to her ally. Will Abandon Manchuria. Russia is not lively to prove recalcl-' trant. According to the best opinion, she is prepared to abandon the whole of her Manchurlan adventure and give guaran tees. The rub will come upon the ques tion of an indemnity, which it is the con sensus in diplomatic circles Japan will exact, but if it should be made moderate and sugar coated, bo that it could be liquidated by the sale of the Chinee Eastern Railroad and the cession of Rus sian property and leases in the Kwantung Peninsula, it might be over with. Russia will probably insist on holding the railroad to "Vladivostok through Northern Manchuria, and will never sub mit to the humiliation of disarmament in her only port on the Pacific, nor to the inhibition against having warships in those waters. Considering the situation of the two countries, members of the diplomatic corps feel that Japan's status in the Pacific is so firmly established that she can afford to dispense with the exac tion of so bitter a condition. Though the' sentiment against the ces sion of actual territory is strong, the cession of Sakhalin, over which Japan and Russia exercised co-domlnlon, might be ceded, or as an offset to the cession of that island all fishing and other Russian rights in the ivommander Islands might be handed over to Japan. Ilumor That Terms Are Known. In spite of official dubiousness as to the result, a well-defined report was current everywhere today, although the Asso ciated Press could not trace its source. that Russia had already practically ob talned Japan's conditions and that they nroved so surarlslnKly moderate that RusEla could certainly accept them as a basis for negotiations. Newspapers are" loud in their skepticism regarding the practical results of Presi dent Roosevelt's actions, which ie .per haps quite natural. The radical papars continue their taotlcs. Insisting that, al though the conclusion of hostilities Ls de. slrable. a disgraceful peace would be in tolerable and that only a national as scmbly should decide the question of war or peace. The liberal papers profess to fear that peace would strengthen the government and give a setback to reform, but shrewd observers realize that the government with the end of the war will be con fronted with the most difficult problems, one of the greatest of which wilt be what to do with an array of I00,KX men disgrun tled with the results of the war. Chorus of Praises for "Roosevelt. With the single exception of the Novoe Vremva the newspapers, whether they believe in peace or not, ieln in a chorus of praise of President Roosevelt's friendly and well-lntentloned action. The "Novoe Vremya, on the contrary, calls It an ad vertlslng dodge, nnd continues to charge the Prosidont with playing the Japanese came and ls harking back to its action "In the case of the Russian ships at Manila as proof of his uafrlondllncss. No report from Rear-Admiral Neboga toff has yet been received and this fact. combined with the wording of the Em peror's recent dispatch to Vlcc-Admlral RniMtvnnskv. is creating endless talk throughout the city. The fact that Russia, according to the statements of the Foreign Office, does not propose to name plenipotentiaries in the first instance, is the subject of much gos sip, and there is even an attempt to give it a sensational turn, bat it is pointed out this course avoids delay, as it permits the reception of the Japanese conditions at any place named by Japan and their con sideration by Russia with a view to de termining whether thoy afford a basis for negotiation. In the Emperor's message to Admiral Rojestvensky he thanked the Admiral and all the officers who have honorably done their duty. This restriction of tho Em peror's thanks, a dispatch from St. Petersburg. June ?, said, was fanning the ugly talk regarding the surrender of the ships and the conduct of some of the crews. PAPERS WARN TIEE JAPANESE Peace Must Be Established" on a. Permanent Basis. TOKIO. June !. (7 P. M-)-Dolayed in transmission.) The JIJi says: "Japan has shown a willingness to ap point plenipotentiaries to meet the Rus sians and nogotiate peace, but it Is pre mature to think this will lead to the ulti mate conclusion of peace. "Much as Japan would like to see peace effected, nothing short of the full rights of the victors and placing the peace of the Orient on a permanent basis will sat isfy Japan. It is premature to discuss terms of peace. It probably will become necessary to arrange an armistice at the commencement of negotiations and it will be essential to obtain some guarantee be. fore concluding an armistice in order to prevent tho interests and positions of Japan from suffering In the event of negotiations being- broken off. "The great and unprecedented Japanese victory must not be -forgotten. Russia's great power is not easily broken down. It might require years before the ulti mate result of the war is attained.- Japan does not fear the prolongation of the war. Concluded on Page 3.) FRANCE PRIES TIE PRESIDENT American Peace Initiative Is Received With Enthusi astic Approval. OTHER TOPICS FORGOTTEN Baron de Constant Says tho Old World Has Been Given Four Striking Lessons by Mr. IlooscvelU PARIS, June 1L President Roosevelt's success In opening a way for peace nego tiations between Russia and Japan is the absorbing theme here, and Franco has forgotten her own troubles with Germany over Morocco to Join In enthusiastic ap proval of the American initiative. Without exception, comment on Pres ident Roosevelt's action ls favorable, with the exception of .a slight sense of disap pointment that France, as the ally of Russia, has not taken a more prominent part in effecting the preliminaries. Boron Rosen, the new Russian Ambas sador to the United States, who arrived here last night on his way to Washing ton, and whose name la mentioned as the probable Russian peace plenipotentiary. was seen today by the Associated Press, and said? "I have arranged to sail for the United States June 28, on the North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wllhelm dcr Grosse, with my family. In the mean time, I am renewing acquaintances here. "I observe In the press the use of my name as the probable peace plenipoten tiary, but that ls wholly without my authority or knowledge." Beyond the foregoing, the Baron would not discuss the question of peace or war. or the part he might take in the negotia tions. Tho departure of the Ambassador from St. Petersburg appears to have been before Russia reached final determination to accept the American proposition. Should he be delegated to act is plenipo tentiary, it would be a month beforo he arrives at Washington. Wholesome Example for Europe. Be ran d'Estournelles de Constant, ex president of the parliamentary group in the Chamber of Deputies favoring inter national arbitration, gave the Associated Press an authorized interview. In which be severely arraigned the action of the European powers and applauds President Roosevelt's Initiative. The Baron had just received a letter from Premier Rou vier. politely declining to take the inltia tive for peace. The Baron said: "The United Stales has given hesitating Europe a wholesome example. All Eu rope ardently desired peace, yet allowed the war to go on without comprehending what Immense service it could render the belligerents in taking the Initiative for peace, which neither of them could be the first to take. 'President Roosevelt has already given four such striking lessons to Europe first, in having brought before the arbitration tribunal at The Hague the question be tween Mexico and tho United States over the Plus fund claims, while all Europe was scoffing at the peace court which it had created; second. In obliging Europe to settle, pacifically the Venezuelan affair; third, in proposing a second peace confer ence at The Hague to complete the work of the first; and fourth. In now endeavor ing to put to an end the hecatombs in th; Far East. Light Comes From the West. "The conclusion of this Is plain. All that the European governments have morally lost through their timidity the Government of the United States has gained. It is another good example for Europe of America's energy in safeguard ing the most sacred rights of humanity. "May American enterprise continue to stimulate your breaking eur eld traditions of inertia and egotism. It ls from the West that the world is today receiving light. "Now tint President RooseVelt has taken the necessary initiative, it is cer tainly to be sincerely seconded by all the governments of Europe." The Temps tonight says: "It might have been thought that France could have played the great role which has fallen to the United States, but circumstances otherwise decided. France can, however, rejoice In .the suc cess of her sister republic, which is due to President Roosevelt's spirit and readi ness of decision." Peace With -Reconciliation. The paper points out the heavy 'task coming before the negotiators. The ques tlon of indemnity is only one of amount, as the people indemnity must be accepted. The coming peace, the Temps adds. In stead of being a mere provisional liquids. tlon with humiliating restrictions imposed by Japanese, should be loyal reconcllia tlon of the two countries, which would become a guarantee of permanent peace in the Far East. A dispatch from St. Petersburg to the Eclair gives the alleged detailed condi tions of both sides, the Japanese condi tions numbering 11 and the Russian 10. These are practically the same as former speculative conditions, namely, an indem nity of $650,000,00. a, Japanese protecto rate over Manchuria, and Carta, the ces sion of Port Arthur and part of the trans -Manchurlan railroad to Japan; forfeiture of the interned warships, the withdrawal of Russian warships from the Far East for a period of 25 years, and the occupa tion of Vladivostok until these conditions are' fulfilled. The Russian conditions, according to the dispatch, reject the question of an indemnity and give & qualified acceptance of the other terms. PAY TRIBUTE TO DIPLOMACY Swiftness of Proceedings Amazes the London Papers. LONDON, June 12. Some of .the Lon don morning- newspapers are still skep tical of the possibility of peace result ing- from President Roosevelt's efforts. but all admit the unexpected swift progress of events and pay the high est tributes of praise to the President's diplomacy. If negotiations should reach the stage of an actual arrangement for an armistice 1c will be felt that peace at last is in sight, because it Is argued that if" Japan consents to sus pend Field Marshal Oyama's well-de veloped plans for the coming- battle. it will be an indication that the Jap anese government has good reason to know that Russia Is in earnest In her desire to arrange for peace. The Daily Telegraph, which may be regarded as a government organ, be lieves, however, that there Is every reason to expect a satisfactory Issue. though it is almost certain that there will be temporary delays and hitches. The paper bases this belief on its con viction that - Japanese terms in their broader outline must have been known to all parties concerned before negotia tions reached their present stage, and that bad there been a single proposal which would be absolutely unaccept able. Russia would not have engaged in the negotiations at all. Other papers maintain that there will be little chance of peace until General Llnlcvltcn shall have been driven across the Amur River, and until the Japanese shall have captured Vladivo stok. Therefore there is much curiosity to see the exact terms of Russia's reply to President Roosevelt, especially since the .publication of the reply or Baron Komura, Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs, accepting- the proposal to meet Russian plenipotentiaries "for tho pur pose of negotiating and concluding terms of peace," It being supposed here that Russia only desires to hear what Japan has to propose. Various versions of alleged Japanese and Russian terms are printed here. but these can only be of a speculative nature. According- to the Toklo correspondent of the Dally Telegraph. General Llnle- vitch 14 in a hopeless position. He ls virtually surrounded, and the corres pondent says that the Japanese army will earn equal glory with th Japan ese navy if the campaign continue.. FLIERS OFF ON FAST TO GO ER03I CHICAGO TO SEW YORK IX 18 HOURS. No Ceremony Attends the Initiation of the Service, but the Public t Patronizes Well. CHICAGO. June 11. A regular lS-hour service . between Chicago and New York was installed today by the Pennsylvania road. Promptly at 2:45 o'clock this after noon, the new flyer, known as the Penn sylvania-Special, pulled out of the Chicago terminus on that history-making Journey. After 100 miles had been traversed the officials of the road In Chicago reported that the train was right on schedule time, and that unless something unforeseen should happen it would reach its eastern destination on time. There were no ceremonies connected with the starting of the new train from here. The flyer left the Chicago station in exactly the same manner as the slower trains do. The only official of the road on board Is Charles M. Schaeffer. super intendent of passenger transportation. That the lS-hour schedule has met with approval by the public Is attested by the many persons who made application for passage on the train. The train is composed of engine, parlor, smoking car. diner, a 12-section sleeper. an observation compartment car, the lat ter equipped with a bathroom, barber shop and library. FORT WAYNE. Ind., June 11. The Pennsylvania, special reached Fort Wayne four minutes ahead of schedule time and one mile was covered In 40 seconds. PITTSBURG. June 12. The Pennsyl vanla special arrived at Union Station ten minutes ahead of schedule time and at 1:C6 this morning departed for New York. The time made by the train at times, according- to Colonel Samuel Moody, general passenger agent, who was on board, was faster than ever accom plished by any similar train. At one point 27 miles were made in 19 minutes. Four of the record miles were made in S3 seconds, 37 seconds, 40 seconds and 33 second?-, respectively. The o facials estimate that a rate of nearly ICS miles an hour was maintained at times, and they claim than' an hour could be clipped from the schedule with out putting the train to. its capacity. Run From Xew Tork City. NEW YORK. June 11- Inauguartlng the 18-hour service from New York to Chicago the Pennsylvania Railroad this afternoon sent out its first west-bound flyer. The train left Jersey City at 4:1 P. M. Every ticket was sold long; before the train left tne station. PITTSBURG, June 12. Two minutes ahead of the schedule time, the Pennsyl vania special, on the way from New York to Chicago, arrived in Pittsburg at 12:3 this morning. After a five-minute stop, during which- the engines were changed, the train started for Chicago with every prospect of completing the Journey 16 record-breaking time. ALTOONA, Pa.. June 11. The new Pennsylvania special arrived here at 10:12, seven minutes behind schedule time. The schedule time was maintained from Har risburg to a short distance east of Hunt ingdon, when the heavy grade began to tell against speed. Not a Single Officer Saved. LONDON, June 11. According- to.the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Times it is believed by the Russian admiralty that In the battle of the Sea of Japan not a single officer was saved from the battleships Navarin.'

ARGUMENTS TO BE HEARD Government Js In Readiness and De murrers Will Be Argued Tills Morning Actual Trial to Begin lit Few Days. Today the mill of the Goveriynent begins to grind once more. "The material that has been gathered with such care by the net of the Department of Jus tlce Is reaJy to be placed in the hopper for tho reduction, and the engineers of the United States are In waiting- to turn on the power and start the wheels. Judge John J. De Haven, who has been detailed by Judge Gilbert to pre side over the land-fraud cases, reached the city yesterday from San Francisco and ls now at the Hotel Portland where he will stay during- his residence In Portland. Judge De Haven is accom panied by Mrs. De Haven and their daughter. Miss Sarah Do Haven, who will spend some time In the city, if they do not decide to remain all o5 th time the Judgo Is here holding court. United States Attorney Heney also reached the city yesterday and Is at the Portland. He was accompanied by Irvln Rlttenhouse. his secretary, who will remain In the city during- the stay of Mr. Heney here. Court Opens Today. The Circuit Court of the United States will be called this morning at 13 o'clock in the new quarters at the Federal building- when the arguments for and against the demurrer to the Mitchell Indictment will be made by Judge A. S. Bennett, of The Dalles, and Senator Thurston, on behalf of Senator Mitchell, while the cause of the Gov eminent will be defended by Mr. Heney. The defendants In their demurrer place their chief reliance upon the al legation that the Indictment shows, that the money paid by Frederick A. Kribs for the expedition of the land claims Involved in the case was paid to tho firm of Mitchell &. Tanner, and not to Senator Mitchell. From this It Is also contended that Senator Mitchell knew nothing: of the source from which his share of the firm income arose, that he had no knowledge of nny fraudulent practice and that nothing of the kind is alleged In the Indictment. This is the matn point in the demurrer that will be argued before the court. Arguments Will Be Short. Unless Judge Bennett and Senator Thurston take up more time with their speeches than is expected, It now seems certain that the end of the argument will be reached today, or. if not that soon, tomorrow by noon at the latest. Mr. Heney will take but little more than half an hour of the "court's time in presenting his side of the case, and it is not thought that the talks on the part of the defense will be of much longer duration. If the arguments arc concluded today It is possible that the decision of Judge De Haven will be rendered by Wednes day, in which case there is but little doubt of the trial commencing by Mon day. June 19. It will not take more than five days for the order to draw the Jury to be observed and for the fu ture arbiters of Senator Mitchell's fate to arrive In the city in pursuance of the orders of the court. Mr. Heney. in discussing- the probable course of the trial, had but little to say. Government Is Heady. . "I do not know when the trial will be really under way." he said, "for It depends not alone upon the arguments and the length of time it takes to dis pose of-c demurrers, but upon the wishes of the court as well. I do not think, however, that the arguments will consume a great deal of time for I know that what I have to say will not tako .more than half an hour in the telling. As I see It. the questions at issue are elementary and will require but a little time In their presentation to the court. About the only thin? I can say now." concluded Mr. Heney, "is that the Government Is ready and that I am here to try the cases if It takes all Summer." Judge De Haven, from his conversa tion. Is more interested in the scenery of Oregon and the beauties of Portland and vicinity than he ls in the land fraud trials. - "I don't know a thing about the cases, or what Is to come up," said the Judge yesterday afternoon. "I know that there Is a demurrer to be argued In the morn ing, but I do not know how many more cf them are waiting to be heard. There fore I know nothing as to how loh; it will be before the case Is ready for the main trial or how long it will take to try it. I don't even know how long I will remain In Portland and will not until after I bare become acquainted with the conditions here." It was suggested that the Judge would have an opportunity to attend the Fair even if the land-fraud trials were under his supervision, but he was not so en thusiastic about the Exposition as about the natural beauties of the city and the state. Lover of "Nature. . "After a ' person reaches my time in life," he said. "he. ceases to care so much for exhibits and expositions. I turn, a great lover of Nature and would rather take a trip up the Columbia, and down as well, than to visit the Exposition. I would rather climb up to the top of the bill there." and the Judge pointed to Council Crest, "and spend such a day as this looking at the mountains and the valleys than to go to any exposition. This morning I was up at 4 o'clock looking out of the windows at the Willamette Valley and tho scenery through which the train was passing. You have a beautiful and wonderful country here, and it is strange to me that there are not more people in It- It ls certainly a beautl- ful place and I like It." Judge De Haven is a tall man with gray hair and benevolent In meln. He will look over tho ground today and during the week and then will decide as to his future course in the conduct of the land-fraud cases. It ls in his power to postpone the trials until later In tho year If he sees fit so to do, but It is the gen eral opinion that once the cases have com- menced they will be carried through to the finish without interruption.
