PETERSBURG. -Negotiations for the peace conference have made nn 'Important step forward, a pro position of the date of tho meeting of the plenipotentiaries having Leon Submitted to Russia and being now under consideration. The exact date proposed has not ocen ascertained, but there is reason to suppose that It is some time during tho first week or ten days of August, which Is about the earliest period at which iapancso representatives could ic ex pected to reach Washington, allow ing reasonable time for the accept ance of tho proposal and tho inter change of tho nominations of pleni potentiaries. I The emperor's answer Is not ex pected for a day or two, but H is thought that tho date will be satis factory and will give ample time for M. Neliaoff, tho Russian ambassaaor 'at Paris, or other Russian negotiators to reach Washington, a3 there will ,be little preliminary work for them to do until tho Japanese work ror them to do until the Japanese terms are submitted. " Whether the proposal regarding me date originated at Tokio or at Wash Ington cannot bo learned, hut tho fact that tho negotiations were con ducted through Ambassador Meyer may indicate that President Roo?c jvelt has perhaps aga inppa:l to the fore and suggested to the two countries, neither of whom would be ' tit, . . i -1. i i t-l.. n ... n . .

In tho five Japanese armies opposing General Llnevitcb, exclusive of cav airy and artillery, it Is estimated that there are from 430,000 to 450.000 bayonets, which give Field Marshal Ojama a decided numerical supcriur Uy over tho strength usually ulloted to Linevltch's army. WASHINGTON. At the request of the president Baron Speck von Sternberg, tne German ambassador, caller) at tho white bouse and re mained with the president for more than ono hour. He came to Wash ington to see the president and wll return to Deer Park soon. His visit wus tho only outward sign of activity '4 In the negotiations. It is under stood that as yet there is no progress in tho negotiations. Russia has not yet announced her plenipotentiaries. Count-Cassini, tho Russian ambass ador received Qeveral cablegrams Blgned by Count Lamsdorff, from wnicn it is inferred here that the forelgo minister's indisposition is disappearing. ; So far as Japan's plenipotentiaries are concerned, the president will be able to announce them as soon as he receives tho names of tlm Russian envoys. That Mr. Takahira, the Japanese mlnistor, may be ono of them In case there are three, as al ready stated, is the belief of more than one ambassador in the corps, but the confirmation of this is, of course, withheld by the Japaneso legation. I It is believed that Moroccan affairs was also a subject of conversation between tho president and tho Ger Han ambassador. The Washington jovernment, it is pointed out, Is iware that Germany does not wish r contemplate war with France, and tho officials here believe, that there is no reason why an agree pent should not be reached after friendly, though tedious, negotia Women and Children Anions tba Victims or tlt Hitld Othori In Dauber of lltlng Mat.uored. . SAN FRANCISCO. A dispatch to tho Chronlclo from Tucson, Ariz.,1 says: At least twelve ranchers have met death at the hands of a band of a' hundred Yaqui Indians who have' been raiding tho country along the' San Miguel country, In tho Ores district of Sonora, and a party com posed largely of American mining men, headed by Joseph DeWltt, bad gone out from Pozo station to rescue the unfortunates who aro in danper. of being massacred by tho Indians. Dr. Frank J. Toulssanl, who has returned from Urcs, brought tho' news of the trouble. After several families had been murdered by the' Indians ranchers made a determined' stand at Buenos Ayres rauoh whcro,j aided by about tbirty employes, thoy succooded in repulsing tho Indians, although Jesus Ortondo, pioriotor1 of tho place, bis brother Francisco,' Luis Oarranza, proprietor of an ad- Joining ranch. ,and several other) neighbors died from wounds recpivfid in the light. Dr Touissant attended CurtOMft, wno was brought Into Lacbumata, a mining town near wucre the fight' took place. Besieged Mexicans took refuge in a ranch houso, and fought from tho windows and roof. It,is' thought that fully twenty Indians! were killed although the number, can only be estimated ana as the savages carried off tho dead and wounded when thoy retired. The nearest armed force is stat ioned at Ures, and when Dr. Touis sant left Hermosillo they hud been! sent to tne scene of tho outrages. Five Yaquls taken Just outdsldo of Lacbumata and thought to bavo taken part In the massacre, were Im mediately hanged. NOW ASKS FOR PAltnON. Ilea Cloud Citizen Would Oo After Barker Agnln. I RED CLOUD, Neb. The Webster county citizens who were so greatly, disappointed over tho roprlevo( granted Frank Barker, tho double murderer who had been sentenced to hang Juno 1G are considering a new plan to expedite the exeoutlon by trying him for tho murder of Alice Barker, tho wife of bis brother,. Dan. In this way, It is claimed, he' could bo quickly tried and sentenced to hang for the second crime and the execution could bo oarrled out! during the term of Govornor Mickey,! Instead of being put off for the two yeurs which the reprieve has to run with the possibility of having a gov-! ernor opposed to capital punlshmont, commute the seutence to life Im prisonment. A Webster county paper In discussing tho case suggests that Govornor Mickey bo induced to grant a pardon immediately so that the raun can bo retried for the mur der of Alice Barker. Tho present oapitul sentence was for tho murder of the brothor, Dan Barker. Tnero Is said to be some question as to tho necessity for the lssuunco of a pardon In order to make the man amendable to tho Webster courts for the murder of tho woman. It Is. claimed by some of the Webster, county citizens that tho county at torney can flic a new information and d mand the return of the mun to stand trial for the murder of Alice' Barker. CHINA HI'CNXCINO OP, Uxclnilon From TIi'h Country a Leudlnc Question. I PEKING. The question of Ohln-i ese exclusion from the United States continues chlelly to occupy tho atten tion of tho Chinese, The extent and depth of the feeling astonishes foreigners, and is regarded as an evi dence of the growth of a national sentiment of public spirit which five years ago would have been Incon celveable. Among many instances cited as evidence of this, it is said that a Chinese comprador has ro fused a lucrative appointment with an American company. Advertise ments of American goods contlnuo to be refusod by tbe native news paper and letters and tolegrams from' all parts of China, as well aa from! abroad aro bolng received urging! the cenral government to take firm stand. i CAMP EXTENDS TERMS WAISTS MOTORS 1T LEAVENWORTH KANSAS l'KOl'LK At rronent Tliero In Only OnoTruIn ouch Wny ,cucli;Uy lU-fnrcn tlm Two Towbs, Asks for lietter Hrrvlie MILWA CKEE.lWIs.-Throo years from "now, when the head camp meets, oirTrnembers of the Woodmen association pre'dTct s'o'nfethlng'ucsldcs tho love feast resulting over the election of ofilcers witnessed at tho present meeting.

WASHINGTON.-Indicatlons arc increasing of an ugly light botween tho administration and tho rallroids, and the situation promises to pres ent so coo Irritating problems to tho president and htsudYlsors. Not only Is the main question of railroad rute legislation still at stake, but thoro aro several minor lssuo3 which uro likely to bo ubout ns comforting us a spring oarbunolc. Tho polltlclans.aro awal1n with some anxiety tho outcome ot the Santa Fe caso, with tho udtlcd com plication of tho dispute between the department ot Justice and Attomoys Hurmon and Judson. Republicans assumo of co'irso, that tho president und Attorney General Moody sco their way clear to a satisfactory solution of this dlniculty, hut it Is only reflecting tho actual feeling to say that republican po'lticul leaders will be very much relieved when the satisfactory statement Is made and accepted by tho public. Among democratic politicians tho boliof is pronounced that thoy will bo ablo to mako political cupltal out of the Santa Fo affair. Tho complaint nd dresscd to the aamlnlstrutlon by the Cincinnati shippers' association against the ruilroads doing business in the southern territory will bo pushed by tho complainants, it is said. Thus far the department of Justice has not stated what stops will bo taken in the premises, and it is assumed that the dooartment Is looking Into the charges, It was sald2!! in somo well lnformod quartern that if tho department does not act tho snippers' association will move on Its own account and bring tho caso Into tho United Stutes court. Tho suggestion was mado that perhaps that would bo a course very acceptable to tho admin istration, as the administrate, al ready has its hands protty full (if railroad UghtB. But friends of tho administration scorn tho suggestion unci insist that Att'y Goneral Moody will not lies Itute to move if he finds tho com plaint well taken, and that tho fact of thero bolng several full grown contests wltb tho railroad on band will not deter tho administration from undertaking unotbor whon necessary. The railroads are preparing for trouble. It Is learned from railroad sources of Information that tho rail way managements reulize thoy aro facing a very serious situation and that they huve the light of their life ahead of them. COSSACKS SHOW lUtUTAMTY Wanton Killing or u .JeiTlth Family or l'"lvo, LODZ, Russian iJoland. Tho most serious phaso of the lighting betweon the military and strikers is at un end, but there are still isolated at tacks in tho suburbs. At Baluty Cessucks attacked a Jewish family of five persons wno were driving in a cab to tho railway station and killed them all, Including tho cabman. At Pabjanlce, near Lodz, workmen attacked two policemen and shot and killed one and wounded tho other. Thero Is a general exodus from Lodz. Twelve thousand porsonB have already loft and all the trains are orowdod. During tho disturbance thirty-live liquor stores were dostroyed by the mobs, which appropriated all the stamps round on tho promises. The cash and stamps were added to tho funds of the socialist party. Tho workmen In all tho factories will strike soon. Some prominent citizens tele graphed General Schushtow asking for protection against the brutality of i he soldiers especially the CossatKs who in one instance killed and robbed the servant of a millionaire named Rosenblatt, who was carrying $5,000 to tbe bank. The general promised to punish tho offenders, but said ho required witnesses to testify against the Cossacks.

President Newman said: "Slnco the sad accident which has happened on the Lako Shore, I hnvo had a consultation with tho operat ing ofllclals, who have explulnod that tho accident was caused by u mis placed switch and was nut duo to tho speed of tho train, und thoy assure! mo that tho present schedule can ba sifely and easily maintained. Whilo I agroo with tho oporutlng officials that thorc is no physical reason why the schedule should not be continued, nevertheless In my Judgment tho timo of tho Twentieth century limited snould bo restored to twonty hours, and It will bo done at once."
