"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.

'LONDON, June 13. The SL Peters

"It Is no exaggeration to say that
President Roosevelt is the most popular
man in Russia today. The President's

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.

In the courts- of Chicago in a divorce
contest with bis wife. It became public
today that Mr. .Thaw's lawyer is investi

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

plied with -a suit in New York for an
absolute divorce. His wife resisted and

-NEW YORK.' June 12. The advisory
board of the Intercollegiate Football

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.
