THE MQRXISG 0REG0S1A2f, TUESDAY, JU2TB 13, 1905. MEETING PUCE TIE NEXT POINT Each Belligerent Suggests Dif ferent One for Peace Negotiations NEITHER SAYS WASHINGTON Prospects Favor Newport or Some 'Other New England Town Men Suggested by Each Na tion for Envoys. "WASHINGTON, June 12. Official assur ance that the President's effort to bring Russia, and Japan together to discuss peace will be crowned with success was .brought to the White House -today by Count CassinI, the 'Russian Ambassador, who called by- appointment and In the namn of Emperor Nicholas formally ac cepted the President's "offer of good will." The following official statement regard ing the conference was Issued at the White House: "Ambassador Casslnl has called to ex- press the Russian government's assent to the President's proposition and to state . that they would appoint, plenipotentiaries to meet the .plenipotentiaries of Japan o discuss the question of peace. The place of meeting is at present, being discussed." During the past two 'weeks the Presi- dent's efforts have been directed toward a mutual agreement to consider terms of peace. This he accomplished finally to day. It remains now for the belligerent powers to name their plenipotentiaries and agree upon a time and place, for them to meot to discuss terms and to negotiate a treaty of peace. These details are now , under consideration with a bright pros pect that such minor differences as may exist will be resolved within a few days. .Japan First to Accept. Conferences of supreme importance were held today in Washington. The blue room of the White House was the scene, and President Roosevelt, Count Cabsini and Kogo Takahlra, the Japanese Minister, were the principal conferees. President Roosevolt now has unequivocal assurances from both Russia and Japan of the acceptance of his proposition that they enter on negotiations for peace. The President likewise Is assured of the abso lute sincerity of both governments in ac ceding to. his suggestion. Japan was the first of the two powers to indicate its acceptance of President Roose velt's proposition. The formal response to his Identical note of Thursday last was received from the Japanese government Saturday. Informal assurances of the ac ceptance of the President's suggestion were received from the Russian govern ment -a little later, but were not of the same definite- character as had been re ceived from Toklo. Early today Ambas sador Meyer, at St. Petersburg, Informed this Government that Russia had accept ed the President's proposition, and would name 'representative? with plenary powers to moet with plenipotentiaries of Japan. While satisfactory, the response of Russia wasnot In the same definite form as that of Japan. It had been the expectation of the President to publish to the world the replies of the two governments to his Identical note, but under, the circum stances this could not be done. Russia Accepts Verbally. A fjw hours subsequent to the re ceipt of Mr. 'Meyer's cablegram. Count Oassini made an appointment to see President Roosex'elt at 11 o'clock today. TJio Ambassador, In the conference which .followed, presonted verbally Russia.' acceptance of the President's proposition for a conference to discuss peace terms. He had been Instructed ly tiie St. 'Petersburg government to -onvey to the President the willingness if Emp'oror NIoholas to appoint plen ipotentiaries to meet like representa tives of the Emperor of Japan to ne Kotlute a treaty of peace. While this response was not reduced to writing, it whs regarded for the time as suffi cient for the negotiations. Shortly af terward the official statement quoted was made public. In addition to indicating the accept ance of President Roosevelt proposi tion. Count CassinI informed the Pres ident of Russia's desires as to the place of meeting of the plenipotentiaries and named those who probably would be delegated to represent the Russian government. At the conclusion of the conference Count Casslnl ""declined to discuss its details for publication. 'Minister Takahlra had a conference with President Roosevelt at 3 o'clock this afternoon, which lasted 35 min utes. The Minister, In response to In quiries after the conference said that the situation was so delicate that he did not feel free to talk about it. Discuss Men, Time and Place. U am be said tliat the place of tae meeting or the plenipotentiaries has rot been finally settled. In the sr mngoment of this detail and others of like oharaoter. the President is acting as an Intermediary. Russia, through Count Casslnl, has Indicated her pref erence for. one place, and Japan, through Mr. Takahlra, has suggested another. It is known that neither Washington nor thq battlefield of 'Man churia was the selection of either Rus !it or .Japan. Further than this. In formation f a definite nature was withhold. Official assurance is gl,ven tnat at present the .response made .by Japan to .the President's identical note will not be mude public from Washington in precise form, inasmuch as the Rus sian reply Is not available In similar form. Negotiation betweon Washing ton and St. Petersburg and between Washington and Tokio are in jirog-ces-and the final arrangements far the peace conference In its essential de tails are likely to be a question :t only a few days. As soon as the arrange ments are completed definitely, an arm istloc will be agreed upon. which may be inspired, deprecating op timism among the diplomats tt the pres ent movement, "unless Japan, under the slogan, 'Asia for the Asiatics, should rec ognize that Ruaa, In her ' origin, his tory and destiny, is an Asiatic as well as & Eropean power, and be ready not only to conclude peace, but an all lancet The Novoe Vremya adds that it has al ways "preached the doctrine that Russia is -the bulwark of Europe against the yellow peril." The editorial attracted instant atten tion. The paper dwells on the idea that Russia, barred from the West- and id lowing Inexorable laws, must spread eastward to reach her natural boundaries and warm water, refers to the case of her conquest on her right flank over the tribes of Turkestan and Central Asia, and concludes: "If Japan can only recognize thai Rus sia must remain an Asiatic power as well as herself, a durable and permanent peace Is possible." NO DELAY ON RUSSIA'S PART Will Agree to Time and Place When Japan Acts. ST. PETErtS BURG. June 12. (2:10 P. M.) All the attempts to create an Impres sion that there Is the slightest hitch in the preliminary negotiations are absolutely without the shadow of foundation. For eign Minister Lamsdorff has formally no tified several of the Continental powers that a meeting of the plenipotentiaries to see whether it is possible to agree on terms of peace Is assured. Now that Russia has received formal notification that Japan has sent an official and fa vorable reply to President RooMvelt, the Russian official reply will be forwarded, and will fully respond to the President's message. There does not seem to be the slightest warrant for the gratutlous Idea that some correspondents are putting out that Rus sia is only desirous of ascertaining the Japanese conditions, and at the same time gaining a better position for her army in Manchuria. The warring countries, both having formally agreed to try to conclude peace, the next step, it is explained here, will be the first direct exchange In which Japan is expected to take the initial' step by indicating, doubtless through an in termediary at Washington, her views as to the time and place of meeting. Russia will offer no objections to any reasonable suggestion in this respect. It is proposed to at once issue instructions to her pre liminary plenipotentiary, whose personal ity for the moment depend? upon the place of a meeting. WItte, president of the Committee of Ministers. Is leaving St. Petersburg, and will be abroad two weeks. This very sig nificant announcement Is coupled with the statement that he Is going "on pub lic business." His visit was Instantly as sociated with the peace negotiations. ENVOY" TO..

It Is said that an envoy will be selected Invested with genuine plenipotentiary powers to con duct negotiations that will be binding upon his government. MOST POPULAR 3tAX IN RUSSTA i London Times Thus Hails Roosevelt, the Peacemaker. 'LONDON, June 13. The SL Peters burg correspondent of the Times says: "It Is no exaggeration to say that President Roosevelt is the most popular man in Russia today. The President's rare Insight, aided by the skill and tact of his Ambassador, Mr. Meyer, enabled him to gauge the proper moment at which to offer advice which the Initia tor of The Hague peace conference could not refuse."

The Italian govern ment has instructed Its Ambassadors anJ Ministers to do everything possible within the sphere of their influence in support of the movement to bring about negotiations for peace between Kusaia and Japan. PELEE AGAIN- IN ERUPTION TERROR OF MARTINIQUE EMITS FLAME AND SMOKE. Sends Forih Shower of Cinders and .Stream or Mud and Dome Collapses. TOUT DEFIANCE, Island of Mar tinique. June 12. For the past few days Mount Pelee has manifesto! a re crudescence of activity which, while stronger than that of April of the pres ent year, does not seem to be of an alarming nature. Some dense clouds of smoke have been discharged from the volcano and have slowly fallen over the White River Valley, afterwards disap pearing on arrival at the sea coast. Sharp luminous flashes have been per ceived at the dome of the mountain and a fairly strong burst of flame was seen between 1:10 and 2:10 on June 3. On that day a very thick cloud of smoke almost descended to the sea and the cinders thrown up extended to the village of Le Precheur. which i oa the extreme line forming the limit of the territory devastated during the ter rible outbreak of May, 3802 (resulting in the loss of about 40.000 lives) and then swept seaward and disappeared. After this he volcano agn;n became calm and. remained so until the Slight j of June 10-11, during which the dome j was Illuminated by numerous luminous j points. j The collapse of part of the Jomo oc i curred yesterday morning at 6 o'clock. It was accomplished by an outflow cf mud luto the White River Villev. At 11:30 the same morning a dense cIohiI of smoke slowly arose from the crator to the estimated height of about 1000 yards and .extended toward Le Pre cheur, where toe smake was dlJsipctoJ. Since then the volenti has remained calm. THJW BRINGS SUIT Retaliates on Actress Wife in Divorce Court. SAYS SHE CHARMED OTHERS Result of Pupils' Expo- sition Contest J At hfci, Wertmaa Jt lOas.

Million aire Charles Harper Thaw, the New Yorker recently sent to Jail because he failed to pay Frances Rush Thaw, the actress, MCO0 a year alimony, may appear ' In the courts- of Chicago in a divorce contest with bis wife. It became public today that Mr. .Thaw's lawyer is investi gating the career of Mrs. Thaw since the Sling of her divorce suit in Chicago. It is charged thai while appearing In the chorus of numerous theatrical pro- j auctions In Chicago, Mrs. Thaw has not devoted all her time to her profession. She was named in a separate maintenance suit which promised to be sensational about a year ago. Mrs. Mae F. Gray, wife of Charles' W. Gray, accused Mrs. Thaw of breaking up her home. For the sake of her three children Mrs. Gray became reconciled with her husband and agreed to a dismissal of her suit. In the divorce action begun by the' chorus girl against her husband, relief from her marital bonds Is 'sought on statutory grounds. Without paying at tention to the Chicago suit Mr. Thaw re plied with -a suit in New York for an absolute divorce. His wife resisted and hi alimony troubles envued. The action of Mr. Thaw is said to have been taken in New York after he heard of the alleged Infatuation of his wife for Gray Every effort at secrecy was made by Herman L. Roth, the attorney. In his trip from New York to Chicago In Thaw's, interest. Failure was his lot in this, for Jrora the time he arrived Saturday he was watched by emissaries of Mrs. Thaw.

Attempt to Run Past Forts Foiled and Three Ships Nominally Knocked Out. FORT MONROE. June 12. Admiral Dlckins . fleet took advantage of the unfavorable weather conditions and attacked the .fortifications at Fort Mon roe at 2:15 this morning. The attack continued until shortly after 3 o'clock. The rapid-fire guns on the vessels were used .and the batteries on shore made a lively response. The Texas. Hartford and' Hornet attempted to run by the forts at 2:20 A. M., but the firing from tho batteries put them out of com mission. Conditions were favorable to him. as rain has fallen steadily since shortly before dark, and in consequence the searchlights at the fort and its outly ing stations are less effective than they would be in" clear weather. The practice of the searchlights was declared to be most satisfactory. Their range, however. Is far short of the 12 ralle channel available to Admiral Dick ins, end the supposition is that he could have run the capes and proceeded to Washington and Baltimore from the ocean upobserved if he had so elected. Proposed Raise in Assessed Values. PORTLAND. June 12. To the Editor.) The resolutions passed by the Oranjce at Lents on last Saturday, and which criticise the proposed ralrlnc of assessments In this county, are or more than p&sstns import ance. How to set an equitable assessment here has lone; been one of the mest serious questions of our local government. The wealth of this county has never paid Its Just proportion of the taxes. The burdens have fallen too heavily upon the owners of small homes and small farms, who were the least able to pay. The large corporations and the large property-holders have never been assessed proportionately to their values with the smaller ones. Take the average hemes, -whether on the farm or In the city, and they are assessed at from 40 to 00 per cent of their value, while in some cases they are assessed at all they would bring, while, en the other hand, the homes or the rich, filled as they are with every luxury that can be thought of. are not assessed at mere than one-fourth their value. A piece of property was sold the other day for JS0.OO0. and It paid taxes this year on an assessment or 210,000. An other which sold for J 100. 000 paid on $20. 350. The smalt pittance paid by the large corporations hu been sufficiently shown In The Oregonan recently.
