his conversation with him. Soon afterward,-Cassini
was received by the
president. His call was brief. As he
was leaving the White House, he said
the negotiations were -moving forward
smoothly. He added that he bad not
conveyed to the president the names of
the Russian plenipotentiaries and had
not received from him the names of

the organization, against either the op

that the city's operation of Chicago's

AGREES TO THE CONFERENCE.
France, First Assured of Its Scope,
Consents to Proposed Interna
tional Convention.
PARIS. June 19. The international
conference for the consideration of the
affairs of Morocco is now practically
assured and attention is now directed
to defining the scope of the conference.
Details are being rapidly arranged and
the officials expect to 'be able to an
nounce the plans of the conference in
the course of four or Ave days. This
result, after the severe strain which
tested the diplomatic resources of toth
governments, has the effect of reliev
Inir the tension, the officials of the for-
eign office and the .diplomats or tne
German embassy agreeing that an ami
cable adjustment was near at hand.
Although the acceptance .or tne con
ference eives a certain measure of suc
cess to German diplomacy yet Rouvier
emerges from the controversy witu tne
advantage of having brought Germany
to define exactly the scope of the con
ference and so rid it of, the objection
of being a menace to French interests.

ST. PKTERSBURG.T June 20. The
war party has by no means surrendered.
On the contrary, backed by the mili

concluding peace. Kyen with -the two
armies already clinching, the members
ofvthe war party are billing St." Peters

Petersburg, are flooding their papers'
with dispatches in the same strain. The!
Novoe "Yreyma's correspondent, in his

DR.H.CEPPLEY
DULY ELECTED
CHOSEN TO SUCCEED ' CHAIRMAN
FLETCHER ON SCHOOL BOARD
BY MARGIN OF NINETEEN V0TE3
Unusual Apathy Displayed on part of
Voters and Exceedingly Light
i Vote Is Cast. '
Judges and CI eras of Ward Seven Not
Sworn in Until Voting Was Well Ad
vanced No Indication of Contest on
This Account Both Competent Men
Escvptionally quiet and practically
featureless is about ail that can be
said of the school election which oc
curred in this city yesterday after
boon. Indeed, it was so quiet that
many scarcely knew that an election
was in progress. The result was that
a very light vote was cast in all sev
en warus, and Pr. ii. C Kpley was
victorious over Director "Fletcher by
the small margin of nineteen votes ma
jority. "
Six hundred and one was the total
vote cast in the seven precincts of the
city proper, or school district, of which
Dr. Kpley received 310 and Mr. Fletch
er 91. Nothing took placo at any of
the polling places of unusual interest,
and there was a notable scarcity of
the usual election workers, Dr. Kpley 's
friends alone seeming to have tho
whole field to themselves, while -Mr.
Fletehrr and his friends remained in
the background, seemingly content to
let matters drift as they would.
There was but one extraordinary
feature of the flay 'a election and that
was that the judges and clerk of elec
tion at Ward No. 7 polling place were
not sworn in until after 3:. '50. It is
asserted that tiiis might operate to in
validate the entire returns from that
ward if a contest were instituted, but
thvre is no indication that any one
will take this trouble. The total voto
Cast in that ward was 7.", of which Dr.
Epley received 57 and Mr. Fletcher IS.
If this vote were to be thrown out it
would make a considerable difference
in Mr. Fletcher's favor in the totals,
but he does not feel the. least inclined,
to raise the issue, and prefers to let
the matter rest as it is.
The. reason that there seemed to ba
so little interest tskvn in the election
appears to bo that the voters had noth
ing to say against either of, the can
didatos, tbey leing both good and
competent men, and since thty did not
care to take part in the personal war
that was waged against Mr. Flctrbcr,
they preferred to remain away from
the polls. It was also understood that
Dr. Epley took no part in the contest
against Mr. Fletcher, as they are warm
personal friends, and he was not held
responsible for the conditions which
existed. These conditions doubtless
account lor tho apparent apathy on
the part of the legal voters and for
the extremely Might votw cast.
Dr, 'Kpley has been a resident, tax
payer and business man of this city
for a number of years, and there is no
question but that be will give excel
lent aervico on the school board. Ha
is broad and lileral in his views, and
bis experience amply qualifies him for
the position which be has Iwen elected
to fill. . The following is the total vote
