TRUCE IN SIGHT WASHINGTON, June 12—The follow- ing official statement regarding to-day’s velt conference between President Roose and Count Cassini, the Russian Emb; sador, was issued at the White Hou | to-night: “Embassador Cassini has called to press the R nment’'s assent to the President’s proposition and to state | that it would appoint plenipotentiaries to meet the plenipotentiaries of Japan to discuss the question of peace. The pi4c of meeting is at present being discu: During the past two weeks the Pre dent’s efforts have 1 a mutual agreement to consider terms of peace.

The President likewise is red of the bsolute sincerity of both governments in ng to his suggestion Japan was the first of the two po ers to indicate its acceptance of Presi- dent Roosevelt's proposition. The for- mal response to his identical note of Thursday last was received from the Japanese Government on Saturday. In- forn rances of acceptance of the | President's suggestion were received from the Russian Government a little | later, but they were not of the definite character as those rec from Tokio. Early to-day Embassador Meyer, in St. Petersburg, informed this Government that Russia had accepted the F dent’s proposition and would na representatives with plenipoten- tiary powers to meet -plenipotentiaries of Japan. While satisfactory, the re- sponse of Russia not in the same definite form as that of Japan. It had been the expectation of the President to publish to the world the replies of the two governments to his identical notes, but under the circums s this | could not be done. CASSINI REMOVES ALL DOUBT. A few hours subsequent to the re- ceipt of Embassador Meyer's cablegram Count Cassini, the Russian Embassa- dor, made an appointment to see Presi- dent Roosevelt at 11 o'clock to-day. The Embassador, in the Conference :h followed, presented verball President’s to discuss tructed to acceptance of the on-for a conference peace terms. He had been by the St. Petersburg Government conyey to the President the willing- ness of Emperor Nicholas to appoint plenipotentiaries to meet MNke repre- sentatives of the Emperor of Japan to negotiate a treaty of peace. While the response of the Russian Government was not reduced to writ- |ing, it was regarded for the time as sufficient for the negotiations. Shortly afterward the official statement quoted was made public. In addition to indicating the accept- | ance by the Russian Government of President Roosevelt's proposition Count Cassini informed the President of Rus- sia’s desire as to the place of meeting of the plenipotentiaries and named those who probably would be delegated to represent the Russian Emperor. At | the conclusion of the conference Count Cassini declined to @iscuss for publi- cation the details of his interview with President Roosevelt. TAKAHIRA THE NEXT CALLER. Minister Takahira had a conference elt at 3 o'clock with President Roos this afternoon. The interview lasted | thirty-five minutes. The Minister, in response to inquiries after the confer- ence, said that the situation was S0 delicate that he did not feel free to tal bout it. unt Cassini called at the White House again to-night by appointment to discuss with the President the se- lection of a place for the peace con- terence. This subject had been dis- cussed by the President In his con- ference with the Japanese Minister dur- ing the afternoon. Count Cassini learned from the President to-night Japan’s views about this and also as to the number of plenipotentiaries. Upon his return.to the embassy tue Embassador, it is understood, communi- cated this Information to his Govern- ment. On one point Cassini and Takahira ; are agreed, and that is the undesirabil- | ity of Washington for a midsummer conference. What else was talked about at the conference is not known, Count Cassini not feeling at liberty to discuss his visit in any particular. Nor is it known whether the Embasador's verbal assurance delivered this morn- il!é was delivered in writing to-night, as an Bmbassador frequently communi- cates verbally as the personal envoy of his sovereign what a Minister, as the repregentative of his Government, pre- fers to reduce to writing.

Probably Imspired Editorial Appears in a Russian Newspaper. ST. PETERSBURG, June 12.—The No- voe Vremya to-day printed a remarkable editorfal, which may have been inspired, deprecating optimism. among the diplo- matists at tl present moment “unless Japan, under the slogan of ‘Asia for the Asiatics,” should recognize that Russia, in her origin, history and destiny, is an Asiatic as well as a European power, and be ready not only to conclude peace, but an alliance.” The Novoe Vremya adds that it has al- ways “preached the doctrine that Russia is the bulwark of Europe against the yel- low peril.” The editorial attracted instant atten- tion. The paper dwells on the idea that Russia, barred from the west and follow- ing inexorable laws, must spread east- ward to reach her natural boundaries and warm water, refers to the ease of her conquest on her right flank over the tribes of Turkestan and Central Asla and concludes: “If Japan can only recognize that Rus- sia must remain an Asiatic power, as well as herself, a durable and permanent peace is possible.” S A LONDON PRESS ON PEACE.

HAD NO GUNNERS VLADIVOSTOK, June 12.—A series of interviews with naval officers who sur- vived the battle of the Sea of Japam has developed a seusational story of the causes of the Russian disaster, first of all, and the complete demoralizati which followed the sinking of the flag- ship Knias Souvaroff and the wounding of Admiral Rojestvensky. It is explained that riot a single officer of the fleet knew the commander-in- chief’s plans. The admirals in command of divisions knew no more than the sub- leutenants, and had to reply only on the signals of the flagship. Admiral Neboga- toff, upon whom the command devolved, had’ seen Rojestvensky only once after the juncture of their squadron and then only for a few minutes. All the stories of extensive target prac- tice in Madagascar, it seems, were false. During the entire voyage there practically was 1o training in gunnery worthy of the name, and the big gun practice was con- fined to three shots per vessel. Ugly stories are told of the occurrences at Madagascar.

SERS INTO CONSULTA- 'NDER WHICH HIS i posifion America holds in international politics.” The Daily Chronicle calls it the splendid beginning of the President’s determina- tion to pursue a “world policy,” while the Daily Telegraph, again insisting on the absolute sincerity of Russia in the nego- tiations, says: “The pessimists fail to take into ac-| count the position of President Roosevelt. | He is the last man in the world to allow himself to be made a fool of, and any af- front put upon him by either belligerent |* would be most wanton and inexplicable foolishness.” Dispatches from Tokio report that the Emperor presided yesterday at an impe- rial council, which inclutled all the Min- isters of state and forty high military and naval officers, but not a word of in- formation is published here except that emanating from Washington. It s understood that the great powers are actively engaged in exchanging views on the situation, and according to the Berlin correspondent of the Daily Tele- graph Emperor William is communicat- ing directly with Emperor Nicholas. e Sl PARIS IS PESSIMISTIC. Russian War Party Said to Be Active in St. Petersburg. PARIS, June 12.—Opinion in official and diplomatic quarters here is be- coming rather pessimistic as to the outcome of the peace movement, owing to the St. Petersburg dispatches show- ing the reserved attitude of Russia and the activity of the war party. A special dispatch to the semi-official Temps to-day says the influential Rus- sians forming the.war element are making a strong rally, being rein- forcgd by a protest against peace tele- graphed from the field by General Line- vitch and all the division commanders. %X tainly were untrained In gunnery, and, exhausted by the eight months’ voyage under trying moral and physical condi- tions, were no match for the veteran Jap- anese, whose marksmanship was remark- able. The Japanese concentrated their fire on one ship until she was placed out of action, and then on another, thus suc- cessively sinking the Oslabya, the Alex- ander IIT and the Kniaz Souvaroff. Some ships developed deplorable struc- tural defects. The Oslabya sank without having a single hole below the water line. Heavy seas entered the vessel aBove the water line, and the water-tight compart- OF AUTOCRACY First Elective House of Parliament in Russia Will Convene in September STEP TOWARD LIBERTY Change Must Inevitably Be Followed by the Grant- ing of a Constitution —_—— ST. PETERSBURG, June 12.—The Rus- slan experiment in parliamentarism will begin in September. The Emperor has already given his approval to the scheme now being finally, but formally, re- viewed by the Council of State, for a leg- islative body consisting of a lower house called the Gosudarstvennaia Duma (Im- perial Duma), and an upper house, Gosu- darstvennala Sovet (the presént Council of the Empire), with power to formulate legislation, discuss the budget, Interpel- late Ministers, etc., but reserving In the Emperor’s own hands the final authority. The elections will take place during the coming summer. Although the scheme clings with des- peration to the essence of autocracy, it marks the beginning of the end. she die once cast, there can be no retreat and the quasi parliamentary regime which will be inaugurated will prove to be mere- ly a transitory bridge over which abso- lutism must cross to constitutionalism. Peaca and a canstitution appear simul- taneously on the Russian horizon. The proclamation of Parliament, either in the form of a manifesto or as a ukase, will be promulgated within a few years. +* -+ ments, which were changed several times during the voyage, did not stand the strain they had been calculated to stand, and burst, flooding and heeling the vessel over until she turned turtle. Lack of homogeneity among the ships made it impossible to maneuver in bar- mony. The Vliadimir Monomach, the Ad- miral Oushakoff and the Admiral Seni- avin had to lag behind, on that account becoming easy victims. Finally the am- munition was exhausted after the first day’s fighting. - tle, while the buzzing of the wireless instruments on the Russian ships showed that the Japanese scouts were communicating his dispositions to Ad- miral Togo, Admiral Rojestvensky con- tinued his careless maneuvering, a when the Ji mese actually the Russians were caught in an impos- sible formation and were attacked om three fronts. Rojestvensky’s position was cramped and his transports were badly placed and caused copfusion. While were raining projectiles even from ma- chine guns on the Russian ships the lat- ter were huddled ° together, blanketing one another’s fire. Only the leaders of the columns could bring their guns to bear. and even on those the untrained gunners fired wildly. To make matters worse, the mines and floating torpedoes sown in the paths of the Russian divi- sions added to the confusion. The Boro- ding, the Admiral Nakimoff and the Nav- arin fell victims to these obstructiofs. It is a heartrending narrative that Rus- sia and the world should know. The sail- ors and officers were not altogether to blame. The main fault les ‘elsewhere. There were many heroes among the Russians. Captain Berkh of the Oslabya committed suicide on her bridge as the ship sank rather than save himself. There were thousands of other heroes whose names the world will never know. ————— ‘When demands are made and arbitra- tion refused at the same time the ques- tion becomes very one-sided.

LONDON, June 13.—The St. Peters- burg correspondent of the Times says: “It is no exaggeration to say that President Roosevelt is the most popular man jn Russia to-day.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 12.—The i warring countries both having for- mally agreed to try to conclude peace, the next step, it is explained here, will be the first direct exchange, in which Japan is expected to take the initial step by indicating, doubtless through an intermediary in Washington, her meeting. Russia will offer no objec- tions to any reasonable suggestions in this resvect. S Italy Helps Toward Peace.
