THE WORLD WATCHES Eyes of All Are Now Focused | Upon President Roose- velt’s Movements. UPON HIM REST THE POSSIBILI- TIES OF PEACE. PeaceSeems Certain If Japan Will Be Moderator in Her Demands. 3 St. Petersburg, June 8.—P.esident Roosevelt, who is’ striving with ex- cellent prospects of success to end the war in the far east, is now the central fieure in the world’s stage and the main obstanée will be overcome once Russia and Japan agree to accept his good offices for the arrangements o' the preliminaries. The belii{éemuls are then expected to arrange peace terms direct. 1f Japan proves moder- ate in its demands peace seems near. RESPONSE IS FAVGRAZLE REPORTED THAT CZAR ACCEPTS PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S OF- FER OF MEDIATION. St. Petersburg, June 8.—President Roosevelt, when this dispatch reaches America, should be in possession ol Fmperor Nicholas’ response to his tender of his good offices. The efforts that President Rooseveit has been making to bring the belliger- ents together have entered on a dis- tinctly new phase. Foreign Minister Lamsdorif had an audience with the emperor Tucsday afternoon upon the subject of Ambassador Cassini’s com- munication and at 11 o’clock that-night Ambassador Meyer called upon Count Lamsdorft at the chancellory and re- mained with the foreign minister for some time. Whether this visit was upon the invitation of Count Lams- dorff or at the request of the ambassa- dor cannot definitely be stated, but there is reason to believe that the visit was in obedience to instructions from ‘Washington conveying a personal com munication from the president to the emperor tendering his good offices. The result was that during the day Mr. Meyer went to Tsarskoe-Selo iv full uniform and was Received in Special Audience by the emperor. Upon his return to St. Petersburg in the afternoon Mr. Meyer hastened to the embassy, where he sent a long cipher dispatch to Washington. Half an hour later he was closeted with Sir Charles Har- dinge, the British ambassador. The present sitiation is extremely delicate and the greatest reticence is ohserved. The foreign office is de- serted, this being the empress’ birth- day, and at the American embassy no statement_could be procured. Never- theless, there are some collateral indi- cations that the emperor's response was favorable. The sudden retirement of the French foreign minister, M. Delcasse, who w: regarded as not only one of the strong- est supporters of the dual alliance but as one of the stanchest friends of Rus- sia, was a great blow to Russia and rendered President Roosevelt’s friend- ly tender particularly opportune. Be- sides it is known that the emperor has been strongly advised if he decided to open peace negotiations to do so through President Roosevelt. FAR EAST THE SUBJECT. President Confers With the ‘Ambassador. Washington,™ June 8.—The Italian ambassador to the United States had a conference with President Roosevelt during the afternoon by appointment. The interview was held in the parlors of the White House. While no details concerning the conference were made public it is Known that the situatior in the Far East was the principal sub- ject of consideration. With every am- bassador representing European sov- ereigns the president now has dis- cussed the subject of peace between Russia and Japan and there is perma- nent ground for the statement that the powers are acting in concert to bring about a cessation of hostilities in the Orient. That Italy has thrown the weight of her influence for peace there can be no doubt. SHOW KEEN DISAPPOINTMENT. Rusgians at Manila Get No Word From & St. Petersburg. Manila, June 8,—There are no indi- cations of the departure ‘of the Rus- sian warships from Manila.bay. Ad- miral Exdquist has not heard from St. Petershurg since his arrival,. although he has filed many lengthy dispatches. The Russians show keen disappoint- Italian meut at the inaction of the St. Peters- burg officials. - TEN CENTS PER WEEK ~RUSSIAN PRESS SARCASTIC. Bitterly Attacks American Neutrality Regulations. e’ St Pétersburg, June 8—The Rus- slan press, notably the Novoe Vremya. and the Russ, the latter frequently re- flecting the views of the foreign office, displays great resentment against the Unitod. States for enforcing the twenty- four-kour rule ‘in the case of the three Russian cruisers at Manila. The Russ quotes the American neutrality Tregulations and contends that Presi- dent Roosevelt, in applying the princi- ple that only injurics received during a storm and not in battle can be re- paired in American ports, not only narrows the American regulations but infringes recognized principles of in- ternational law, This paper declares it has oificial warrant fsr the state- ment that represeniations have "been made to Washington on the subject. The Novoe Vremya id ‘exceedingly sarcastic. After a slap at Great Britain for the alleged manmner in which her vessels dogged the Russian fleet from the time it left Cronstadt and for try- ing to force all the powers to accept Ler interpretation of the rules of neu- trality the Novoe Vremya declares that-| President Roosevelt, whom it refers to as “Mr. Roosevelt,” contaminated by England’s example, arbitrarily inter- prets his own rules in a sense favora- ble to Japan, adding: “Mr. Roosevelt takes full advantage of the fact that Russia is helpless and powerless to do more than protest. The Japanese minister is reported to have hastened to express his gratitude to America for this act of impartiality which is partial to Japan. We trusi Mr. Ro velt is satisfied with his success. The admiralty, it can be stated, is reconciled to the internment of the three Russian cruisers at Manila, but opposes on principle the rule that war- ships injured in battle cannot repair their machinery and boilers at neutral ports. WILL DEFEAT JAPANESE. Linevitch Makes Prediction on Coming Battle. Headquarters of Russidn Army, Godzyadani, Manchuria, June 8.—Un- dismayed by Rojestvensky’s defeat and full of confldence as 1o the outcome of the approaching battle Lieutenant General Linevitch is for war to the bitter end and he believes that the Manchurian army is now strong enough to assume the aggressive. To a question put to him as to whether he was for peace or war the commander-in-chief replied firmly and without the slightest hesitation: “Most ceriainly I am for war. I am a soldier. The emperor’s will is nat- urally my law, but my voice now as before is for the continuance of the fight. “With the destruction of our fleet vanishes of course the hopes of thosc who at the beginning of the war wished to make peace at Tokio, but our defeat at sea has not interfered with my plans—absolutely mnot one whit. I consider myself strong enough Row not only to hold my own ground, but even to advance. “I.am no prophet and have no desire to be one, but [ firmly believe that I can and will defeat the Japanese in Manchuria.” SMALL ACTIONS OCCURRING. Report ‘From Japanese Headquarters in Manchuria. Tokio, June 8.—A dispatch from the headquarters of the Japanese armies in the field say: “The eneiny's infantry, strength not mentioned, - attacked Machatun, two miles north of Weiyuampao, early in the morning of June 5, but were re- pulsed. “The same day our force which had advanced to Shahotse, nine miles east of Chantu, dislodged th¢ enemy head- ing for that vicinity and occupied a neighboring eminence. A portion of our cavalry drove the enemy north- ward toward Chichiatzu, fifteen miles north of Kwangping, and Machittun, seven miles east of Chipatun, and our troops occupied their vicinities.” SEARCHES BRITISH STEAMER, Russian Transport Stops Ship Off Chi- nese Coast. Nagasaki, June 8.— The - British steamer Cilurnum, chartered by the Mitsui Russan Steamship company of Tokio, bound tfrom Shanghai for Kobe, Japan, was stopped on June 2 eighty miles from the bell buoy ofi the en- trance to Woosung by the Russian transport Rion. A boarding party, after the steam- er's papers had- been examined, re- moved her hatches and threw over- board 411 bags of beans, 125 bales of cotton and 12 boxes of antimony. The Russians left again suddenly, stating that the steamer was released. It is supposed they received a wireless message announcing the approach of Japanese warships. TIME ' LIMIT HAS EXPIRED. Russian Ships Will Be Interned at Manila. £ ‘Washington, June 8. — Governor ‘Wright cabled- the war department from Manila during the day acknowl- edging receipt of his instructions rela- tive to the Russian ships. Admiral Train has heen instructed by Governor Wright {o take charge of the Russian vesgels, as the Russian admiral re- ports”that his ships are unable to go to sea and their internment is an ac- complished fact. -The United States will consequently, from now on, be responsible to the Japanese govern- ment for the detention of the Russian ehips in Manila until the end of the ITHE KING REFUSES Delegation to Present Stroth- ings’ Address Can- : not See King. COUNCIL OF STATE RE-ORGAN- _ 1ZES GOVERNMENT. Norway Proceeds Quietly to Set Up a Complete Seperate Government. i Christiana, June 8.—King Oscar has refused to receive the delegation appointed to present him with the Strothing’s address dissolving the union between Norway and Sweden. The counil «of state is proceeding quietly with the re-organization of the government as indicated in the resolu- tion dethroning King Osar. The army has beéh acquainted with the action of the strothing and has been ordered to render allegiance to those now conducting the government. E Christiania,” Norway, June 8.—The storthing during the day declared the ~° :: union between Norway and Sweden under one king to be dissolved and that the king has ceased to act as king of Norway. The storthing further empowered the present state council to act as a goverranent. of Norway until further | notice and to exercise the power here- 2 tofore appertaining to the king. An address to the king was adopted declaring that no ill feeling was en- g tertained against him, his dynasty or S the Swedish nation and asking him to 3 co-operate in the selection of a young prince of the house of Bernadotte to occupy the throne of Norway. At the opening of the ion the government informed - the storthing S that it relinquished office at once. The storthing thereupon unanimously and without debate passed the following resolution: “Whereas, All the members of the council of state have laid down their offices, and ““Whereas, His majesty, the king, has declared himself unable to establish a new governmont for the country, and “Whereas, The constitutional regal power thus becomes inoperative and the storthing authorizes the members of the council of state who retired to exercise until further notice as the Norwegian government the power ap- pertaining to the king in accordance with Norway's constitution and exist- ing laws, with those changes which are necessitated by the fact that the union with Sweden under one king ig dissolved in consequence of the king having ceased to act as a Nor- wegian king.” Premier Accepts Responsibility. M. Michelsen, the retiring premier, accepted in behalf of the government the “honorable and difficult task with which the storthing has entrusted it.” Five Social Democrats dissented from the address to the king. Tt is expected that the storthing will issue a proclamation to the Norwegian people regarding the dethronement of the monarch. It is not anticipated that King Oscar ‘will consent to any prince of the house of Rernadotte accepting the Norwegian crown. Should the king refuse there is a possibility that the throne may be offered to Prince Waldemar, the third son of King Christian of Denmark. The i people of Denmark are largely in sym- pathy with the Norwegian demands. The dissolution of the union between Sweden and Norway has been pend- ing for some time and had its growth in the desire, which grew stronger as time passed, for the establishment of separate consular systems for the two countries. King Oscar recently vetoed at Stock- holm the measure presented to him by the council of staté providing for separate consular representation and the Norwegians maintained that the king by so doing and partly by his ab- sence from Norway had suspended his rights and duties as king of Norway. One of the causes for the desire in Sweden and Norway for separate con- sular systems was the fact that Swe- den is protectionist and Norway is for free trade and also because of Nor- way's more exlensive sea trade and other divergencies of commercial in- terest. MAKES . DECIDED PROTEST. King Oscar Hears of the Norwegian Storthing’s Actlon. Stockholm, June §.—King Oscar has gent a lelegram to Premier Michelson as follows: “Have received the communication of the council of state and record the most decided protest against the method and action of the government.” Lightning Kills Woman.
