before an accord Is arranged. Baron Rosen
today called at the Russian embassy,

concerning his part In the negotiations.

Mikado Summons Council.
CHICAGO, June 12. A special from To-
klo to the Daily News says that Emperor
Mutsuhlto summoned a great council this
morning at 11 o"clock. It is believed the
peace policy to be pursued in the case of
Russia was the subject of discussion.
Princess Sadako was present. The coun
cil consists of Princes Fushlma, Kantn
and Yamashina, the elder statesmen, tho
principal ministers and the chief execu

Tito Skirmishes In Msnrhnrls,
TOKIO, June 116 p. m. Official an

i Another force defeated the Russians near

polntment to discuss with the president the
selection of a plaoe for holding the peace
conference. This subject had been dis
cussed by the president with the Japanese
minister In the afternoon. Count Casalnl
learned from the president tonight Japan's
views about this and as to the number of
plenipotentiaries. Upon his return to the
embassy, the ambassador, it Is understood,
communicated this matter to his govern
ment. On one point Count Casalnl and Mr.
Tnkahira are agreed and that is the unde
slrablllty of Washington for a midsummer
conference. What else 'was talked of at tho
conference If not known Count Casslnl not
being at liberty to discuss the matter.
It is understood in a high official quarter
here that' Marquis. Ito, . Baron Komura,
minister for foreign- affairs, and General
Yamagata, chief of Kin ft, are the three
under consideration by the emperor as
plenipotentiaries and that the Inclination of
the belligerents Is that each select two as
plenipotentiaries. M. Jielldoff Is understood
to have been tentatively selected by Rus
sia, and It Is suggested as possible that he
may be assisted by Baron Rosen, though
this lacks official confirmation.
Elimination of Washington as the prob
able choice of the belligerents for their
place of peace making would not preclude
the selection of an American city. Briefly,
the situation is this: Japan does not wish
Paris and Russia is unfavorable to Mukden
3r Che Fan. Both are opposed to Washing
ton for climatic reasons,- though neither
would oppose the selection of an American
watering place, and among those mentioned
xre Newport and Manchester-by-the-Sea.
This Idea Is especially favored among the
representatives of the neutral powers, who
tstahllsh their embassies and legations In
Sew- England for the summer.
The Hague or Geneva.
Of the places under consideration In
Europe It is said that Russia might accept
The Hague. Geneva is also considered and
would not be objectlonab'le to Japan. (A
long conference at the Russian embassy
:hls evening between Mr. Vanswinderln,
:hei Netherlands minister, and Count Cas
ilnl, the Russian ambassador, strongly
itrengthens the belief that Russia Is
itrongly considering the selection of The
Hague for" the scene of negotiators. A
joint realized by the representatives of both
belligerents here and which has been em
phasized in their dispatches is that to take
advantage of the president's offer to give
ny advice or assistance that might be
lollcited, the selection of an American city
might facilitate the negotiators In keeping
In close touch with the president.
Russia's Reply Will Be Printed.
BT. PETERSBURG. June 12. Russia's
official reply will be printed In the Official
Messenger tomorrow or Wednesday. At
the Foreign office this afternoon the Asso
ciated Press was informed that Japan's
Indication of the time and place of the
meeting of the plenipotentiaries Is ex
pected within twenty -four or forty-eight
hours at the most.
"Russia's plenipotentiaries," continued
the informant of tho Associated Press,
"will be clothed with full power to receive
Japan's term and give Russia's answer,
which will Involve' power to conclude a
temporary suspension of hostilities. Such
suspension probably - will bo limited to from
three to eight dayj. In which Russia will
decide whether It Is possible to proceed."
According to the Russian view. It Is Im
practicable to attempt to inhibit the move
ment of troops or supplies during tho
armistice,' and fears continue to be ex
pressed that there will be a broad gap
between Japan's minimum and Russia's
maximum.' But diplomatic fencing Is now
the order of the day.
Foreign Minister IvimmlorfT has formally
notified several of the continental powers
that a meeting of plenipotentiaries to see
whether It is possible to agree to the terms
of peace is assured. Now that Russia has
received formal notification that Japan has
sent an official and favorable reply to
President Roosevelt, the Russian official
reply will be forwarded, and the Associated
Press feels It la in a position to state posi
tively that the reply will fully respond to
the president's message. There does not
seem to be the slightest warrant ror me
gratuitous Idea that some correspondents
are putting out that Russia Is only de
sirous of ascertaining the Japanese condl
Hons and at the same time gain a better
position for Its army in Manchuria.
Wllle Msy Act for Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 12.-12:28 p. m.-
M. Wltte, president of the committee
ministers. Is leaving St. Petersburg for
abroad in two weeks. This very slgnlfl
cant announcement Is coupled with th
statement that he is going "on public ser
vice." His visit was instantly associated
with the peace negotiations and It Is pos
slbie that Emporor Nicholas has decided
If a reasonable basis for negotiations Is
offered by Japan to make use of the ser
vices of the ablest and atrongest person
allty In the empire. '
It being Monday, the papers print only
telegrams today, but the Novoe Vremy
makes room for a remarkable editorial
which may be Inspired; depreciating op.
tlmlsm among the diplomats at the pres-
cnt movement, "unless Japan, under tho
slogan of 'Apia for the Asiatics,' should
recognize that Russia, In Its origin, history
and destiny, is an Asiatic as well as
European power and be ready to conclude,
not peace, but an alliance."
The Novoe Vrcmya adds that it has al
ways "preached the doctrine that Russia
Is the bulwark of Europe against the yet
low peril."
The editorial attracted Instant attention
The paper dwells on the idea that Russia,
barred from the west and following in
exorable laws, must spread eastward to
reach its natural boundaries and warm
water, refers to the ease of its conquests
on Its right flank over the tribes of
Turkestan and central Asia, and conclude
"If Japan can only recognize that Russia
must remain an Asiatic power as well as
Itself, a durable and permanent peace Is
possible." ....
The reformers breathed a sigh of relief
over the announcement In the Gazette that
M. Pobedonostsoff, procurator general of
the Holy Synod, has sufficiently recovered
his health to go abroad and try a course
of treatment.
, Rusaia Not Exact Ins.
The warring cquntrles 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 Japanese
government is expected to take the initia
tive by Indicating, doubtless through an
Intermediary at Washington, Its views as to
the time and place of the meeting. Russia
will offer no objections to any reasonable
suggestion In this respect, being prepared
to at once Issue Instructions to its prelim
inary plenipotentiary, whose personality for
the moment depends upon the place Japan
names.
The scheme Is now made that M. Wltte la
going to Berlin to meet Prince Arlugawa,
who represented the Japanese emperor at
the wedding of Crown Prince Frederick
William, but no confirmation of this can be
obtained. In the public mind M. Wltte
stands out prominently as the one Russian
statesman who should direct the peace ne
gotiations. But an Intimate friend of the
Russian statesman assures the Associated
Press that he knows M.-Wltte has not been
approached on the subject. Undoubtedly
court influence will be solidly against his

CHICAGO, June 12.-On Its Initial run
road's elghteen-hour "flyer," the fastest
long distance train In the world, arrived
In this city at 8:52 o'clock this morning,
three minutes ahead of schedulo time. In
order to accomplish this feat extraordinary
achievements in the way of fast running
were necessary. After leaving Pittsburg

Which had been attached at that city for
the run to Crestlinp, O., developed a hot
box about twenty miles east of Mansfield,

fifteen minutes were lost in a futile effort
to cool the troublesome axle. Finally a
freight engine was attached and the train
limped Into Crestline. Here . the regular
engine was In waiting and when the "flyer"
left the latter place It was twenty-six
minutes late. The run to Fort Wayne, 131
miles away, was mode in lHhi minutes, an
average of 6S.6 miles an hoar. When the
train pulled out of Fort Wayne for the
last lap of the long Journey it was only
94 minutes late, 16 minutes of the lost
time having been made up. Miles were
frequently reeled off in from forty-four to
fifty seconds, and an average speed of a
mile a minute was easily maintained over
long stretches of track.
President Underwood of the Erie rail
road was a passenger. He explained that
there was no especial significance attached
to his making the Journey to Chicago on
the first' run of the new train. He said
he had an engagement here at 9 o'clock
this morning and he took advantage of the

'enemy.'
Boat Strikea Theoretical Mine.
About lifteen minutes after the ap
p roach of the first of tho 'enemy's' fleet
another destroyer, evidently the Whipple,
was discovered. This vessel suffered th
same fate as the first. The third destroyer
made its appearance and, like the other
two, was 'sunk.'
"The first boats endeavored to sneak by
the forts without making any demonstra
tlon, but the one In the lead was soon put
out of commission by Striking a mine. Thli
was signified by the ringing of a bell In
Fort Howard. " .
"The third boat, though put out of bust
ness, opened fire on all four of the forts
and the sight was a most interesting and
exciting one. Broadsides were fired by the
third destroyer when It reached a point
between Forts Armlslead and Carroll. No
lights were used on any of the boats and
the lire from the guns made an Imposing
sight.
"It Is believed that the destroyers were
sent on ahead of the rest of the fleet to
get the range of the forts, draw the fire
and ascertain whether the men were at
their guns. Later a fourth destroyer was
discovered and 'unk.' Then the battle
ship Texas made a frontal demonstration
and from a seven-knot range fired Its big
and little guns at Fort Hwoard. While
the Texas was making this demonstration
a swift cruiser made a flank movement
and went up the bay toward Poole's Island.
It was discovered in the nick of time by
the men at Fort Howard, who fired on the
ship. The fire was returned, and after a
lively skirmish ithe gunners at the fort
theoretically 3ent both the Texas and the
cruiser to the. bottom,
"After the battle the cruiser sent up a
rocket, and then up a red and white light
and directed Its searchlights toward the
torts."
After the Ineffectual attack upon Fort
Howard the "enemy," as the attacking
vessels are known, withdrew and steamed
down Chesapeake bay to Join the rest of
Admiral Dicklns' squadron off Sandy
Point.
The attack thie morning will not cause
the local garrison to relax the vigor of
their watch, as there is nothing to pre
vent Admiral Dicklns attacking the city
again.
Attack on Fort Monroe.
FORT MONROE, Va., June 13. Admiral
Dicklns' fleet took advantage oi me un
favorable weather conditions and attacked
the fortifications at Fort Monroe at 2:15
o'clock this monlng. The attack lasted
until shortly after 3 o'clock. The rapid fire
guns on board the vessels of the fleet were
used and the batteries on the shore made a
rapid response. The Hartford and Hornet
attempted to run by the forts at 2:21 a. m..
but the firing from the batteries put them
out of commission.

WASHINGTON. June 12 Before leaving

ducted another hearing In the Bowen
Loomls Inquiry.
Clyde Brown, treasurer of the American
Asphalt company, was heard regarding the
check which was said to have been ex
changed between Mr. Loomts and the As
phalt company. The testimony of Mr.
Brown was confirmatory of the contention
of Mr. Loomls to the effect that the trans
action was a matter of ordinary exchange
for the soke of convenience. Mr. Brown
produced the books of the company show
ing the receipt of Mr. Loomls' check for
$1,000 and the payment to him of a check
for the same amount celling for American
money. Ira Atkinson, 'in official of the As
phalt company, also testified. He was one
of those mentioned oy Harry Unwlne as
probable sources for information regarding
a rumor said to have been heard to the
effect that a certain check passing through
the office was intended for Mr. Loomls.
Mr. Atkinson denied that he had ever

NEW YORK, June 12.-Under the most
favorable conditions. It was admitted by
the management of the subway tonight
that the road, which was blocked yesterday
afternoon by the bursting of a water main
at Forty-second street, could hardly be
opened for through traffic before the rush
hours tomorrow morning. During the day
underground traffic was practically sus
pended, a hough some trains were run
below Fourteenth street and above the
point of the blockade, leaving a gap of
over a mile In which the tracks were
under water and tile tunnel filled with
the fumes of charred Insulation and ties.
Powerful steam pumps Installed yester
day were at work tonight and had materi
ally reduced the depth of the water, but
not sufficiently so as to determine the full
extent of the damage to'the railway. The
few trains that were run were scantily
patronized and as result traffic waa di
verted to the elevated and surface lines,
whose capacity was taxed to the utmost.
During the afternoon the elevated rail
road running through Fulton street, Brook
lyn, was put out of commission by an acci
dent like that which disabled the subway.
Heavy rain poured such a torrent Into the
subway extension in course of construction
in Fulton street as to threaten the eta
blltty of the pillars of the elevated struc-
ure. Traffic was suspended until the flood
had subsided.

Dleguez, a Guatemalan lawyer and revolu
tionary candidate put forward by Baril
las, ex-presldent of Guatamela for the
presidency of the Central America repub
lic, is said to be hurrying to San Francisco
from southern Mexico to Join Barillas and
party here.
Members of the local Guatamela colony
believe that Barillas and his adherents
have decided upon this city as a rendcz
vous pending developments that may give
them an opportunity to filibuster against
the administration of President Calerva.
The uau Bays mat isarmas has an

a revolutionary party against Calerva and
that he has simply delayed action until he
can recuperate his failing health, which,
he says. Is one of his reasons for coming
to San Francisco.

which Involve a contest between either In
dividuals or localities over alleged dis
crimination In either passenger or freight
rates, and we further favor the giving to
the Interstate Commerce commission the
power to enforce the decisions made by
it In such cases.
