(By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, June 8,—Pending negotiations for the promotion of peace in the Far East have assumed within a few hours an unexpectedly favorable phase. Tt can be said that the result of Ambassador Meyer's audience with the Csar yesterday was distinctly favorable. It has been the effort of President Roosevelt throughout the exchanges hich have taken place between the United States and European powers since the battle of the Corean Straits to bring Russia and Japan into such touch as would enable the two belligerent nations to reach a basis of coni- mon understanding, In this effort he has had the support of several of the important pow- ers whose influence carries weight with both the warring governments. SEES JAPANESE MINISTER. So for as is known here, Russia has not formally asked yet for tho terms on which Japan would be willing to conclude peace, although iI is) not denied that she may have expressed an interest in their character, thus indicating @ receptive mood, It {s extremely probatle that, in a general way, the terms of the Japanese Government are known to President Roosevelt. This afternoon the President had conferences with Minister Takahira of| Japan, and Sir Mortimer Durand, the British Ambassador, Both ‘were held by appointment. With the Japanese Minister was Baron Kaneko, who has been nego- tinting Japanese loans, and regarded quite as prominently in State affairs for Japan here as Minister Takahira, It {s possible that Minister Takahira had information to impart to the President recoived by him from Tokio in response to a cablegram, which he sent to the Mikado's Government ‘ast night. The President communteated to Minister Takahira such part of the reported result of Ambassador Meyer's audience with the Czar as he deemed expedient. Nether of the three callers would say a word concerning their con- ference with the President It is quite sure that in a cablegram received by the State Department from Ambassador Reid al London the British Government has indicated its earnest desire for peace. ‘The British Government, however, it Is reallzed, crevpica a peculiarly delicate position as an ally of Japan. No doubt is expressed in official and diplomatic vircles, however, that King Edward's Government will co-operate heartily to the extent of its power {n the promotion of peace negotiations, bi WORLD'S EYUS ON ROOSEVELT.

Evidence also exists that President Roosevelt haa secured the support of several Continental Powers and that at the proper time they will appaar at his back, Exactly what !s transpiring at Washington {s being carefully guarded, | the diplomats here being still greatly at sea, not being able to do more than venture a shrewd guess and indulge-in speculation, ‘The Interest with which the moves on the Washington chessboard aye being followed is evidenced by the manner In which the ambnssadors and ministers who learned of Ambassador Meyer's audience of Emperer Nich- olan yesterday flocked to the Aniericau Embassy to-day in’senrch of infor- mation, But the situation seems to be 4o Aoiicate that the Ambassador is com- pelled to display the most complete resorve, ARMISTICE FIRST RESULT.
