St. Petersburg, June 16. -There only remain fixing of the time of meeting and the number ot plenipotentiaries for the peace conference with Japan. Finding that Japan was not disposed to accept Paris, w hich was Russia's first choice, or The Hague, which President Roosevelt suggested, Russia readily consented to the selection ot Washing ton. Japan, it is understood, also sig nified that she would name three exalt ed personages as plenipotentiaries, and specific information here points to Marquis Ito, Baron Koiuura, the min ister of foreign affairs, and Marshal Yamagata, chief of the general staff, as plenipotentairiea. It is regarded as certain that two of Russia's representatives will be Baron Roeen, who has been appointed to suc ceed Count Cassini as ambassador at Washington, and M. Nelidoff, ambassa dor at Paris. The name ot M. Witte continues to be be mentioned, but there is no evidence that the emperor will give him a brief to conduct negotia tions. Considering his well known views against Russia's aggressive policy in the Far East, the selection of M. Witte would be regarded as tantamount to an assurance that peace would be the outcombe. The selection of Washington makes it certain) that several weeks must elapse before the first meeting of the negotiators is possible. Unless President Roosevelt is able to induce the belligerents in the mean time to agree to an armistice, the fear is general that the interim will witness another bloody battle in Manchuria. Russia, while she could not place her self in the position of directly request ing an armistice, might welcome it, if the suggestion came from the president. FOR CONFERENCE CITY. Choice by Russia and Japan is Nar rowed Down to Three. Washington, June 15. Gradually the negotiations tor peace in the Far East are nearing a focus. The one point to which the energies of those di rectly concerned in them now are being directed is the choice of a place for holding the conference of the plenipo tentiaries of the belligerents. It is known officially that three cities are under consideration by Russia and Japan. These cities, named in the order of the likelihood of their final se lection, are Washington, The Hague and Geneva. Thus far no decision has been reach ed. Paris and London have been elim inated from the question. It is under stood that the Russian government ob jects to an Asiatic city, its preference being for some European capital. After objecting to the holding of the confer ence in Paris, the Japanese government expressed a willingness to consider oth er places which afforded adequate facil ities, although it is assumed that Ja pan's preference would be for some Far Eastern city practically within the theater ot war. Finally, however, the selection seems to have narrowed down to the three cities named. NEW MOVES TO END STRIKE. Hanrahan will Take a Hand Team sters' Offer Rejected. Chicago, June 16. While apparent ly there was no surface change in the strike today, a powerful agent for peace was at work. Grand Master J. G. Hanrahan, of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Firemen, arrived in the city, and after a conference with Mayor Dunne, announced that he would use his good offices to settle the Btrike. Chairman John V . Farwell, Jr., Ol the Employers association, declined to consider a tentative strike settlement proposition presented to him today by the state board of arbitration. The proposition Mas an offer that, if the employers would agree to use all honorable influence to have police and deputy sheriffs and all armed guards withdrawn immediately, the strike would be declared off, even as to the express companies, and that orders to deliver anywhere would be obeyed by the teamsters. The offer bad the ap proval of President Shea and the na tional executive board of the teamsters. Linievitch Takes Some Outposts. St. Petersburg, June 16. In a dis patch to the emperor, dated June 13, General Linievitch says the Russians, after a fight June 11, occupied the vil lages of Syfong-Toy, Chihpou and Chakhedzi. ' The same day another de tachment approactied the mines near Chakhedzi. A Japanese company evac uated the mines and retired southward, where it was reinforced by a battalion of Japanese with quick-firing guns. The Japanese detachment on the Man darin road retired to a position south of Minhuagay. Will Fight in Spite of Mud. London, June 16. The Japanese correspondent of the Daily Telegraph at Moji, Japan, says: "The rainy season has started in Manchuria, and the mud in the roads is knee deep, but this will not interfere with military operations, glad tidings of which may be expected within a few days." READY FORA FIGHT Oyama Has Russian Army Com pletely Surrounded. MAY PROVE SEDAN FOR RUSSIA Before Peace Negotiations Can Begin, Greatest Battle of the War May be Fought. London, June 17.-The practical cer Uiaty now that the peace negotiations cannot ben in 'or another month leads to the conviction that another battle wilt be fought in the interval. Accord ing to the Daily Telegraph's Tientsin correspondent, a Japanese forward movement has already commenced, in spite ot the rainy season. The Daily Telegraph's Tokio corre spondent gives an interesting idea ot the situation from a correspondent who is said to be in a good position to know the actual facts. This correspondent says that the principal Russiau depot is at Guushu Ius, whence many light railways are being constructed north ward to facilitate retreat. Lieutenant General Linievitch. bewildered by the strategy of the Japanese, is making repeated reconnaissances and throwing out innumerable scouts. Nevertheless, at the present moment, the correspond ent says, all his army is completely euvelojHd. FRANCE SAVED FROM WAR. Delcassa's Resignation Prevented a Conflict with Germany. Paris, June 17. When M. Delcasse resigned the potrfolio of the foreign otlice a few days ago, Germany and France were on the verge of war. M. Delcasse thought that Germany was bluffing. Prime Minister Rouvier, re membering 1870, believed otherwise. Germany had been for some weeks strengthening her garrisons near the French frontier. France responded with a similar move. The kaiser, ig noring his own provocation, notified France that, if she did not cease this military movement, Germany would consider it an unfriendly act. This, ot course,wa equivalent to an ultima tum, and M. Rouvier sent a concilia tory reply. Within a few hours after M. Del casse's retirement, M. Rouvier made certain representations to Russia which had far greater influence upon the czar's present course than even Mr. Roosevelt's letter. M. Delcasse had done everything in his power to support the Russian policy and uphold the alliance, and had refrained from pressing advice, peaceful or otherwise, on the czar's government. M. Rouvier said to Russia, in effect, that the vitial interests of France re quired the czar to do something under the terms of the alliance for her pro tection against German aggression. It was imperative that Russia restore her military strength on her western frontier and be prepared to take an active part in the campaign if France were attacked. DODGE IMMIGRATION LAW. Inspectors Discover Men in London Who Post. Undesirables. London, June 17.- Marcus Brann and Mr. Fischberg, the American in spectors who have been inspecting the emigration from Continental countries to the United States, having concluded their labors in Austria, Hungary and Russian Poland, respectively, are now looking up the conditions prevailing at the embarking points of the big At lantic liners. Messrs. Braun and Fischberg say that the steamship companies have in augurated a very strict inspection of emigrants, but that even in London persons claiming to be agents of the companies are publishing guaranties to secure the admission of any emigrant to the United States for a few pounds in addition to the fare. How the sub agents carry out this agreement is now under investigation by the inspectors. Klamath Fish Reserve. Washington, June 17. President Roosevelt has interested himself in the establishment of a fish preserve along Spring creek and Williamson river, on the Klamath Indian reserva tion . Two engineers of the Relamation service who have been studying condi tions in the Klamath basin discovered that both these streams are well stock ed with trout and afford fine sport in season. They found, however, that many Indian allotments were being made along the banks of both streams, and the fish were being exterminated. Russian Cruiser on Rampage. London, June 17. The Singapore correspondent of the Daily Mail says that the Russian cruiser Rion left June 14 for Odessa, and that great uneasi ness is felt for the safety of British shipping.
