THE MORSIXG OREGONIAK, rSATURDAY, JUNE lTsi 1905,., GENERALS WILL 111 JUSTICE Next Step Towards Peace Will Be' .Taken on Field of Hostilities. NAMING THE PEACE ENVOYS elidoff Will Head Russians, Ito or Yamagata Head Japanese En glish and Frerieh Will Re Languages Used. WASHINGTON. June 16. Alone en the plains of Manchuria, midway between the two great armies, the Russian and Japan ese commanders will meet to sign the armistice which will nave the way for the Washington conference. If the present tentative programme Is followed. Exchanges on this point are now in progress between Toklo and St. Peters burg, via Washington, but no conclusion has been reached. It was first thought a preliminary protocol might be signed in Va6hIngton,. for a temporary cessation of hostilities, but in view of the fact that this concerns directly the armies in the field it is believed that the belligerents will agree that the arrangement of the armistice would be best entrusted to I'nlevltch and Oyama, the respective commanders-in-chief, who In such event would be delegated special powers to sign, The time limit for the armistice has not hen fixed, but It will be comparatively brief, that the progress of the conference may be assisted as much as possible. Who Will Be Peace Envoys? Prior to the signing of the armistice. however, will conns the official announce ment of - thei Russian and Japanese pleni potentiaries. Russia has Indicated that her mission will be headed by M. Nelldoft, the Russian Ambassador to Paris, and It Is understood that the Emperor has re quested Marquis Ito to head the Japanese mission, although the distinguished presi dent of the privy council, bo far as known here, has not yet accepted. Only bis health would cause him to decline, in which event Field Marshal Yamagata probably would be selected In his place. Neither country has suggested the names of the othor plenipotentiaries, nor has the number finally been agreed upon. though the belief tonight Is that there will be three on a side. With Marquis Ito, It Is believed, will come one of the other great statesmen of Japan who has wide diplomatic experience, and Mr. Takahlra, the Japanese Minister, It is suggested here, may be named as the third pirn! potentlary. May Confer in English. Another Important detail which has boon the subject of Informal conversa tions at the White House Is the language to be used at the conference. Russia will ask that the French language be used; Japan will' express a preference for Eng lish and. In recognition of the courtesies to be cxtendod the plenipotentiaries by the Washington Government, diplomats belleTe that the English language. If not accepted as the official language of the conforence, will be used Jointly with the French, the proceedings of the conference being recorded In both tongues. RXPID PROGRESS FOR PEACE Russian Foreign Office Announce ment Witte Talks Pessimism. ST. 'PETERSBURG. June 17. (1:45 A. M.) Although, in the absence of official advices, tho Russian government is not yet able to announce the definite conclu sion of arrangements for the meeting of ' the Russian and Japanese plenipoten tiaries, the Foreign Office last night said the negotiations to that end were pro gressing rapidly and issued a statement for publication In tills morning's news papers acquainting the public with the speedy progress toward the opening of the conference. Count Casslnl'a report of the selection of Washington from the cities favored by Russia has not yet arrived, but it is thought the Ambassador is waiting for the fixing of the date of meeting, which again will dopond on the traveling ar rangements of Marquis Ito, President of the Japanese Privy Council, and M. Nelldoff, Russian Ambassador at Paris. After final arrangements have been made, the Foreign Office, it Is paid, will Issue another official note announcing the suc cessful comolollon of steps preliminary to the conference and naming Russia's representative or representatives. The communication of the Foreign Office Is as follows: Official Version of Progress. "According to advices from Washing ton, immediately after the receipt of the Russian note responding to the proposi tion of President Roosevelt, negotiations as to the place and the time of meeting commenced. These negotiations are pro ceeding speedily, but are not yet actually finished." Pessimistic Chauvinists are building mountains out of the wording of the As sociated Press dispatches from Washing ton announcing Unit Groat Britain was unwilling to use her influence with Jap an to moderate her ally's terms, declar ing that, if It meant that Groat Britain had sounded Japan and found her in a mood to insist on a heavy indemnity and other .humiliating demands, it also meant ihe indefinite prolongation of the war. The general disposition, 'however, is to suspend judgment until Japan reveals "her terms, and in diplomatic circles there is a hopeful feeling "that theso terms will form the basis of a possible agreement. Witte. Will Not Serve as Envoy. a. conversation yesterday with a friend? M". Witte. president of the Council of Ministers, declared himself along the 'Ines of the interview with him printed In the Slov Wednesday morning, which was filled with the gloomiest forebodings, as related in these dispatches, and in which M. W.tte declared that he would not serve as one of the plenipotentiaries for three reasons, the last of them being that he should do everything to avoid it. 'Even If the rumor of LamsdorfTs res ignation is true, which I Insist Is not the case." said M. Witte. in the Slovo inter view, "the main situation would not be changed and the first and third reasons would hold for me. As. the Associated Press stated, while M. WJtte's name was not mentioned in the Interview, the veil of his identity could be easily pierced. Still Thinks Japanese Inferior. In the conversation yesterday M. Witte confirmed the statement that it was ut terly Impossible that he participate in the peace negotiations, supplementing it on other grounds with the unique reason that he had been educated to consider the Japanese an Inferior race and would therefore be unable to discuss with them peace during a war wherein Russia was not a victor. Far from being entrusted with the responsibility of conducting peace negotiations, he declared bitterly that he was not even consulted regarding the affairs of his own department. M. Witte manifested keen feeling over the rise of General Trepoff as Minister of the Interior, saying: "I know nothing of what is being done either for peace or for reform. Tell me what Trepoff advises and I will tell you what the Czar will do. Trepoff is the real ruler of Russia." General KJelgels, Governor-General of Kleff, has arrived in St. Petersburg, and gossip is connecting his name with the Governor-Generalship of St. Petersburg as an assistant to General Trepoff. DIPLOMATS' HOLIDAY SPOILED Tlicy Must Stay In Washington to Watch Conference. WASHINGTON, June 16. The announce ment of the selection of Washington as the scene of the peacemaking has caused practically the entire diplomatic corps to suspend, indefinitely. Its programme for the Summer. Despite the reiteration of both belligerents that they propose to ne gotiate directly with one another, the Eu ropean powers are preparing to follow each step of the-negotiations as closely and as intelligently as cautious and re served plenipotentiaries will permit, and to do this the European envoys must be on the ground. The Informal announce ment at the White House that If, after convening the conference here, the pleni potentiaries were oppressed by the heat, they probably would adjourn to soma watering place In New England, has aroused the hopes -of the envoys of the neutral powers that such will be the de cision. Among the diplomats whose plans prob ably will be disarranged are M. Jusserand, the French Ambassador, who. If he goes to France this month, as he had planned, must return in time for the conference; Baron Speck von Sternberg, who has planned to spend his leate in Germany, and Sir Mortimer Durand. the British Ambassador, who had already closed his embassy until the preliminary negotia tions necessitated his return from Lenox. If the conference does not convene until September, some of the diplomats wlli make brief visits to Europe, mainly for the purpose of getting in touch "Wllh the views of their respective governments. KAISER'S ADVICE TO THE CZAR Make Peace Unless Officers Can Guarantee Victory. BERLIN. June 1C. A writer In Die Grenzboten who is in a position to use official sources of Information, repro duces the tenor of a letter which the "Emperor of Germany wrote to the Em peror of Russia counseling peace. According to the "writer. Emperor William advised Emperor Nicholas to consider the question whether his of ficers, quite apart from the willingness of a soldier to die for him, were able to guarantee him victor. If tals were not the case, then Emperor Nicholas would perhaps take into consideration whether the Internal problems of Rus sia -warranted a continuance of tha war and a further heavy sacrifice of life. Far from wishing to force advice- upon his friendly neighbor. Russia, which would be possible only for a man hav ing full Information regarding tne country's political -mJ Internal af fairs. Emperor William offered his friendly services in case Emperor Nicholas considered that the moment had arrived for availing hlmiolf there of. JAPAN'S NOTE OF ACCEPTANCE Specifies That No Other Powers Must "Butt In." WASHINGTON. June 16. The following Is the text of the Japanese reply to Pres ident Roosevelt's identical note to Japan and Russia on the subject of negotiations for peace: 'The imperial government has given to the suggestions of the President of the United States, embodied in the note handed to the Minister for Foreign Af fairs by the United States Minister on the 9th instant, the very serious consideration to which, because of its source and its import, it la Justly entitled. Desiring, In the Interest of the world as well as in the interest of Japan, the re-establishment of peace with Russia on terms and condi tions that will fully guarantee its stabil ity, the Imperial government will, in re sponse to the suggestions of the Presi dent, appoint plenipotentiaries of Japan to meet the plenipotentiaries of Russia, at such time and place as may be found to be mutually agreeable and convenient, for the purpose of negotiating and concluding the terms of peace directly and exclusive ly between the two belligerent powers." Japan Content With Washington. TOKIO, June 16. (7 P. M.) Barring the distance and consequent delay, the Japanese are entirely satisfied with the selection of Washington as the place for the peace conference. It was hoped that some point In Nortnern China would be ohosen In order to per mit of a speedy meeting of the pleni potentiaries and an early determina tion of the question of peace or a con tinuance of hostilities, but the accept ance of Washington is general anJ cordial. Lamsdorff May Be Peace KnToy. ST. PETERSBURG. June 16. There is some talk that Foreign Minister Lams dorff himself may be one of the pleni potentiaries.
