President and German Emperor on Subject of Peace. Berlin, June 9.—The Interview which Baron Speck von Sternburg, the German ambassador at Washington, has had with President Roosevelt and the cable correspondence between the ambassador and the foreign office here resulted in the president and emperor finding that they had identical views vn the subject of peace and were near- ly of the same opinion as to the raethod of drawing Russia and Japan nto negotiations. The joint view ap- peared to be that others, including France and Great Britain, ought to be left out besause to be sure of a com- munity of views among all would be 2 slow and cumbersome business and | would impress Russia as taking on the character of outside pressure. This is precisely what, as the Asso- clated Press is informed, President Roosevelt and Emperor William wish to avold. They wanted the emperor of Russia to takg,the initiative and sought only that fie should avail him- self of the American and German gov- érnments as instruments for making the first step toward peace easier. Japan, it is believed in government quarters here, will be reluctant to lay | down specific peace condlficis—far | more reluctant than at any stage of the war, because preparation lLas heen made to carry the campaign to Rus- sian territory, take Vladivostok: and Harbin and then exclude Russia from the Pacific. Unless her high condi- tions are complied with this is a crude cxpression of what is thought to be Japan's immediate policy. SIGNIFICANT CHANGE OF TONE. Russian Press Calmly Discusses Ad- visability of Peacs. St. Petersburg, June 9.—There is a significant change in tone on the part {Permission to Publi patches Indicat St. Petersburg, June 9.—That the government is plainly preparing the public for announcement by the em- perior to the effect that he has decid- ed to conclude peace and that nego- giations have begun isevident by its permitting the publication of all for- eign dispatehes bearing on the subject. In well informed circles it is believed that Japan has already irstructed Field Marshall Oyama to stay his hand pending the result of the presen- tative negotiations and that Gen. Linevitch has also been confidential- ly advised of the situation® z Vashington, June 9.—Pending nego- tlations for promotion of peace in the IPar Iast have assumed within a few hours an uneéxpectedly favorable phase. While it might pe too much to say at this moment thdt peace is in sight, in i view of the delicacy of the exchanges now in progress, it is certain that there is greater hope now ior a suc- ctessful termination of the present ne- gotiations tkan there has been at any time. It can be said that the result of Ambassador Meyer's audience with the czar Wednesday was distinctly favorable. It has been the eifort of President Roosevelt throughout the exchanges which have talen place be- tween the United Stutes and Buropean powers since the battle of the Korean of some of the Russian newspapers, likke the Novoe Vremya, which never heretofore have even admitted the pos- sibility of the conclusion of hostilities until Russia had recovered her mili- tary prestige by a victory. The pa- Ders now discuss calmly the advisabil- ity of ending the war if Japan’s terms are reasonable. The payment of a big indemnity, they declare, would be too humiliating. The Novoe Vremya says bluntly that if Japan asks too much it will pay Russia to prolong the con- test indefinitely; while the Russ ar- gues that if representatives of the Russian people are called together Japan will see herself confronted by the whole nation and she will readily agree to reasonable terms. “Even the revolutionists,” the Russ adds, “are not traitors. They are fighting the present rotten bureau- cracy and not the mother country. They would not tolerate a disgraceful peace.” Universal regret is expressed in offi- cial circles at the retirement of M. | Delcasse, until recently French min- ister for foreign affairs. He was re- garded as a true friend of Russia, was a personal friend of Foreign Minister Lamsdorll and was 2 sincere and un- equivocal supporter of the dual alll- ance. The Novoe Vremya says: “We know how to apreciate a true friend; we have so few of them.” DECLINES TO DISCUSS PEACE. French Ambassador Questioned After Seeing Roosevelt. Washington, June 9.—M. Jusserand, the French ambassador, had a confer- ence with the president soon after the latter’s arrival at the executive office. The ambassador was with the presi- dent for about half an hour. At the close of the interview Ambassador Jusserand said that he could not dis- cuss the object of his call. Pressed negotiations were in progress he re- plied that he could say nothing; that he had no news. Acting Secretary of State Loomis ! called on the president immediately after the visit of Ambassador Jusse- rand. While he would admit nothing as to the nature of his visit there is excellent reason for the statement | that he presented to the president the deciphered cable dispatches from Am- bassador Meyer at St. Petersburg and Ambassador Reid at London. The dispatch from Ambassador Meyer was received over night, but was not translated until morning. The nature of its contents at this time is not known. Mr. Loomis as he left the White House said that he was not in a position to discuss the peace situa- tion at all. He admitted that the sit- uation was delicate and indicated that as a reason for not making public any details concerning the negotiations in progress. -~ WATER SURROUNDS RESIDENCES Flood Situation at Grand Rapids, Mich., Continues. Serious. Grand Raplds, Mich,, June 9.—The Grand river is still steadily rising here. The only encouraging news comes from up river points, where the water is reported to be stationary or falling. All Wagon Eridges Go Out. Cumberland, Wis,, June 9.—A spe- clal freight train on the Soo road in charge of Conductor Sperry . broke through a bridge west of Barron. Two brakemen and a fireman were injured. All the wagon bridges in the vicinity are washed out. There are many dan- mexeus washouts on the Soo road. Suspended. La Crosse, Wis., June 0.—A bridge | on the Chicago and Northwestcrn rail- i road between Lytles and Trempeleau, ten miles north of La Crosse, has been washed out by an overflow of the Black and Mississippi rivers and no trains have been able to get through since Wednesday, ... Washout Stops Traffic. La Crosse, Wis., JJune 9.—Traffic on the main line of the Green Bay and ‘Western railroad has been abandoned on account of a washout at Dexter- ville and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul and the Burlington roads are operating under dimculties, Railroad Tunnel on Fire. Denver, June 9. Salt Lake City.. 9—Word has been received at the general offices of the Denver and Rio Grande that a fire has broken out among the timbers in the tunnel at Ruby, twenty-feur miles west of Grand Junction, and has temporar- ily tied up traffic between Denver and for a statement as to whether peace | ptraits (o bring Russia ani Japan into such touch as wouid enabie the two belligeren:s to reach a bruis of com- mon unaciztanding. tu this effort he bas had the suruort of several of the Impor whose influence car- ries ght with boil the warring gov- ernments. No details of the report made by Ambassador Meyer of his conference with the czar are obtainable at this time. The situation, however, in view of the ambassador's report, is de- scribed as “most favorable.” While the situation is “more hopeful,” as an important factor in the problem of the negotiations phrased it, it can be sal that, so far as known here, Russia has not formally asked yet for the terms on which Japan would be will- ing to conclude peace, although it is not denied that she may have ex- pressed an interest in their character, thus indicating & receptive mood. Even had such a request been made it is certain that this government, at i least, is not at this moment in position to state what these,terms may be. b sh All Foreign Dis- es That End of War Is Near At-Hand. war, IS TGW ‘the central figure of the world’s stage. One of the main ob- stacles, it seems, will be overcome once both Japan and Russia have agreed to accept his good offices for the arrangement of the preliminaries. The belligerents are expected to be _able to arrange the peace terms direct. The president is believed to share with Kmperor William the view that the belligerents should be allowed to - scttle the actual terms without out- side interference. Evidence also ex- ists that President Roosevelt has se- cured the support of several Con- tinental powers and that at the proper time they will appear at his back. Exactly what is transpiring at Wash- ington is being carefully guarded. The diplomats here are still greatly at sea, not being able to do more than ven- ture a shrewd guess-and indulge in speculation. The interest with which the moves on the Washington chess board are being followed is evidenced by the manner in which the ambassa- dors and ministers who learned of Am- bassador Meyer's audience with Em- peror Nicholas flocked to the Amer- ican embassy in search of informa- tion. But the situation seems to be so delicate that the ambassador is com- pelled Lo display the most complete re- serve. If Japan proves moderate in her demands peace seems at last to be close ahead. An armistice probably will be the first evidence the world will have that the two powers have agreed to shake hands. FLEET TAKEN BY SURPRISE. Russians Steaming Peacefully Along When Japs Opened Fire. Manila, June 9.—From the stories told by the Russians who escaped from the sea fight in.the Korean straits it ars that the Japanese completely od the Ruesian feet.

The water here has now gone over Front street. Many residences in the South, End are completely surrounded by deep and swift currents.
