PEACE ENVOYS AKE NAMED.
Japan Announces Three, and Names
of Two Russians are Known.
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.
