FOR ENDING WAR
PRESIDENT PAVES THE
FOR THE SAME.
WAY
BELIEVES THE END IS HEAR
Extreme Reticence Manifested In
Every Official and Diplomatic Quar
ter A Statement of Conditions and
Acceptances Expected From St.
Petersburg.
WASHINGTON When President
Roosevelt left Washington Friday on
a two days' trip to Virginia, ho wan
confident that the result of tho Inter
national negotiations for peaco in tho
far east had been successful nnd that
tlio flnal blow In tho Russo-Japanese
war bad been struck. So deoply inter
ested Is ho In bringing tho two bolll
ge'cnt nations to a common urdcr
standing that ho would not havo loft
the Whlto house at tho tlmo wncn tho
situation was so delicate, unless ho
had obtained nssuranccs that his ef
forts to bring Russia and Japan Into
contact in nn amicable spirit, had
been successfully concluded.
Whllo extreme reticence is mani
fested in every ofllcinl and diplomatic
quarter, it is known authoritatively
that tho negotiations which havo been
In progress for tho last ten days be
tween tho Washington government
and tho powors of the world, includ
ing tho two belligerent nations, havo
been successful to nn unexpected de
gree. President Roosovelt who has
taken the lead In tho negotiations, has
been accorded the cordial support ol
tho great continental powers, includ
ing Russia's nearest friend, France.
Tho direct representations mndo
through Ambassador Meyer at St.
Petersburg to the czar wero received
by Emperor Nicholas in a most friend
ly spirit. Tokio responded In an
equally amlcablo way. So near aro tho
two warring powers to amicable con
tact at this moment that In all Wash
ington circles, official and diplomatic,
mcro hopefulness has given way to
notable optimism.
It Is not unlikely that within forty
eight hours a definite statement of the
situation may bo issued from St.
Petersburg, Tokio or Washington,
which will throw clear light on it. It
can be said that only Tokio remains
yet 'to bo heard from regarding a
phase of the negotiations. That tho re
sponse of tho mikado's government
will bo favorable no doubt Is enter
talned.

TEXT OF THE NOTE.
What President Sent to Russia and
Japan.
WASHINGTON The president
feels that the time has como when
In tho Interest of all mankind ho
must endeavor to see if it is not pos
slblo to bring to an end tho terrible
and lamentable conflict now being
waged. Writh Russia and Japan tho
United States has Inherited ties ot
frlondslp and goodwill. It hopes for
tho prosperity nnd welfare of each and
It feels that tho progress ot tho
world Is set back by tho war between
these two great nations.
Tho president, accordingly, urges
the Russian nnd Japanese govern
ments not onW for their own sakes,
but in tho interest of tho whole civil
ized world, to open direct negotia
tions for peaco with one another. Tho
president suggests that these peaco
negotiations bo conducted directly
and exclusively between tho belliger
ents; In other words, that there may
be a mcetiiig of Russian and Japaneso
plenipotentiaries or delegates, without
any Intermediary, In order to see If
it Is not possible for these representa
tives of tho two powers to agree to
terms of peace. The president earn
estly asks that the Russian and Jap
aneso governments do now ngree to
such a meeting and is asking tho Rus
sian and Japanese governments like
wise to agroo. While the president
does not feol that any Intermediary
should bo called In In respect to the
peaco negotiations themselves, he Is
entirely willing to do what ho proper
ly, can if tho powors concornod feel
that his services will be of aid In ar
ranging tho preliminaries ns to tho
time and plnce of meeting. But if
those preliminaries can be nrranged
directly between tho two powers, or
In any way, tho president will be glad,
as his sole purpose Is to bring about
a meeting which the whole civilized
world will pray may result In peace.
CALL EXTRA SESSION
OF THE LEGISLATURE
DULUTH, Minn. "You may state,"
said Governor Higglns of New York,
"that I will call a special session of
tho legislature immcediately on my re
turn to the state. This session will bo
called for the purposo of investigat
ing certain charges made against
members of tho state Judiciary. I do
not euro to discuss tho matter beyond
making this brief statement"
NOT PREPARED FOR BATTLE.
Russian Ships Went Blindly Into Jap
anew Trap.
MANILA From tho stories told by
tho Russians who escaped from tho
sea fight in tho Korean straits It ap
pears that the Japaneso completely"
surprised tho Russian fleet Tho Rus
sians woro steaming peacefully along,
There was no sign ot-tho Japanese
fleet and tho Russian ships were not
cleared for action, nor wero the bat
teries manned. The nttack came with
a suddenness thnt mndo tho xinpre
paredness of tho Russians for battle a
glaring mistake that never could bo
corrected. Two linos of torpedo boats
suddenly appeared and encircled tho
Russian fleet. The rapid firo batteries
wero turned loose, but with apparently
littlo effect on the Japaneso boats.
Over tho approaching torpedo boats
camo a hall of ten and thirtoen-inch
shells from tho Japaneso war vessels
In tho distance.
Tho torpedo boats advanced at full
speed, ono division going In a westerly
and another in an easterly direction.
Tho Russian cruisers nnd battleships
prepared to repel the nttack. Tho
cruisers manned their port batteries
and tho battleships their starboard
batteries. No attempt was mado to
preparo tho batteries on tho other
side of tho ships and It was hero tho
Russians blundered.
UNABLE TO CO-OPERATE
WITH ROJESTVENSKY
VLADIVOSTOK Tho failure ot tho
Vladivostok squadron to put to sea
and effect a diversion in favor of Ad
miral Rojestvensky at the tlmo of tho
reccent battle is explained to havo
been due to the utter absence of
knowledgo on the part of Rear Admir
al Jessen as to whether Rojestvensky
Intended to circle Japan or nttempt to
force a passage through the Straits of
Korea, Jessen nt no timo was inform
ed of the Russian commauder's plans
and wa3 unable to co-operato with
him. Tho officers of tho Russian
cruiser Almaz and the torpedo boat de
stroyers which reached Vladivostok
say tho Russian "fleet was constantly
under Japanese surveillanco after it
reached far eastern waters and when
over it was not at anchor suspicious
ships .were seen on tho horizon.

was decided, beginning with tno regu
lar summer change, Sunday, Juno

"Twentloth Century Limited" so nB
to make tho timo between New York

440 miles for fourteen years, having
held the world's record for that time,
and for three years and 180 days hav
ing held tho world's record for a
thousand mile train In twenty honrs.
Tho proposed schedule of eighteen
hours Is simply tho extension of tho
tlmo of tho "Empire State Express"
through from Buffalo to Chicago, tho
tlmo having been made for fourteen
years between New York and Buffalo. ,
On this new schedule, the train will
leavo Chicago at 2:30 p. m., arriving
