before their departure.
The foreign office is in constant

beyond tbe statement tbut nothing

Information. Tho chances of the

The court at the cud of tbe week
will remove from Tsarskoe Selo to

bis Immediate family will occupy
the little palace for the remainder of
the summer. This palace is situ
ated In tho corner ot the vast park
where are 'famous fountains, rival
ling those of Versailles, which, with
tho military music every afternoon
and evening, attract immense
crowds. The palace, however, is
tucked away in a corner of the park,
and, as it is surrounded by high
walls, Is Inaccessible to the public.
PARIS The highest Russian
authorities say concerning the Tokio

the Japanese minister at Washing

would probably w be the Russian
plenipotentiary, tUtat no such ap
pointment has yet been communi

The view prevails In Russian dip
lomatic quarters that ono place of
meeting will not be In the far east,
as that would be fraught with diffi
culties of communication, and tboy
are inclined to believe that some
European poiat wlJl be, selected, the
apparent inclination being toward
Tbe Hague or any other neutral
point. Naturally if some European
point la chosen) M. Nelldoff Is con
sidered likely to be the representa
tive of Bussla.
It now appears possible that tbe
question of as armistice may be ar
ranged at or near the seat of war.
And it Is possible Chpt Peking may
be the plaoe selected'' for takleg up
this subject. In any case the negot

ST. PETERSBURG. -Instoad of
publishing the toxt of its official
reply to tbe message from President
Rnosevolt, regarding the initiation
of peace negotiations with Japan,
tho Russian government decided,
with the purpose of taking thepubllo
into confldenoo, regarding the pros
pects of peace, to Issue a statement
summarising status of negotiations
which will appear in tbe form of a
communication In the foreign office
gazette. This statement, which
says a graceful tribute to President
Rooosevelt's aotlcn, expresses, in a
gonoral way Russia's willingness to
negotlato without enteriug leto par
ticulars whloh cannot be considered
to be finally detormincd until tho
receipt, of tho Japanese roply. Tbe
Russian government under the cir
cumstances has deemed it best to
leave to the Washington government
tbe publication of tbe Russian note.
The following is the text of tho
note.
'Tho president of the United
States instructed bis ambassador to
the Imperial court to request a prlv
ate audience In order to cbavev
directly to the cmporor evidence of
tbo unfailing friendship the United
States entertains for Russia and td
cxpresi President Roosevelt's desire
to contribute as mu-h as possible to
the Interest of tho whole worli
'towards the' cessation v of hostilities
In the far east. Tho ambassador
was Instructed to add that the presi
dent was 'making simultaneous over
tures to tbe Japanese government.
"Tho emperor was pleased to re
ceive tho American ambassador on
Jane 7, and gave benevolent atten
tion to President, Roosevelt's lnltla-
ftive, which had moreover met an
cctirelv svmnathetlc reception on tno
.part of friendly powers.
"Russia being convinced that Jap
an was equally disposed to accept
President Roosevelt's propoial,
whloh was transmitted through tbe
intermediary of tho representatives
of tbe republic at St. Petersburg and
Tokio to tbe Imperial as well as to
tbe Japaneso government, received
favorably tbo official communication
from tho ambassador and notifica
tion to this affcob was published 1c
Washington.
"In roply to this communication
the foreign minister, acting undei
the emperor's orders, informed tb
American ambassador in a note dated
June 12 that the emperor, deoplj
sensible of the sentiments expressed
by tbe president, was pleased to Bee
therein a fresh mark of the tradition
all friendship uniting Russia and
America., and previous proof that
President KooseYolt was in complete
accord with tho. views tbe empcroi
held op tbe general settlement sa

whole ot mankind. As for an event

WASHINGTON. Roassurlue ad
vices roaohod Washington from
official sources rogarding tho Moroc
can negotiations at Paris, which,
whllothoy iniiloato that war between
Gormany and Fiance is improbable,
Indicate the extremo delicacy of tho
situatlOL. Berlin 'takes a much moro
optlmiatie view of tho situation
than Paris. Germany claims that
tho negotiations are prcccoditig with
the utmost good will on both sides
and with the probability of an early
settlomcnl of all existing difficulties.
Paris also professes good will and a
spirit of extremo friendliness, but is
unable to forsoo the outcome and Is
exceedingly anxious to fin a out
"what is back of Morocco and what
aro Germany's real intentions."
This Is the light in which tbe sit
uation Is presented to Washington.
Diplomatists hero attach considerable
significance to tho promptness and
frankness with which Emporor Wil
liam and Prcsldont Loubot have kept
President Roosovelt Informed of
each developoment in tho situation,
and to the care whloh both have
taken to present their respsotive
positions in full at the white House.
In the event of the failure of tho
Paris negotiations a European am
bassador expressed tho belief that
tbo prcsldont may be called on for
assistance. Both Germany and
Fiance, who aro retraining from any
direct effort to draw in tho United
States, know informally that this
government does nob consider Amer
ican Interests in Morocco sufficient
to warrant any inltlatlvo on tho
part of tho prcsldont regarding tho
invitation of tho sultan to tho
powers to participate in an inter
national conference. Amerlcun ac
ceptance of that invitation will bo
on tbe condition that the. powers
signatory, to the Madrid convention
arelu favor of suoh a conference.
Both Gormany and Franco, how
ever, are inclined to hopo for sym
pathy from this country, Germany
on the ground that the emperor's
demand for tbo open door In Mor
occo will appeal to American com
merce, and Franco because of action,
taken by this country in tho Perdl
carls case, whon the state depart
ment requested tbe good offices of
tbo French government In securing
tbo release of Ion Perdlcaris, tbo
American citizen in Tangier, who
was kidnapped by bandits last year,
Only the exaggerated roports to tbe
effect that tbo two countries aro on
tbe verge of war has served to relieve
the persistent reticence which has
thus far teen maintained about the
negotiations. Replying to an in
qulry regarding Germany's Moroccan
policy, Baron Speck Von Sternberg,
tbe Gorman ambassador, who has re
turned from Deor Park, Mo., says:
''Tno report that tho emporor's
pulley in Morocco is aggressive Is en
tlroly erroneous. Germany asks that
her treaty rights tbero and thoso cf
the other powers signatory to tbe
Madrid convention shall bo respected
and protected wltnout discrimination
and In strict accordance with article
27 of tbe Madrid convention. This
article reads. 'Tbo rlgbt to the
treatment of tbo moU favored natlra
Is realised by Morocco as belooglrg
to all the powers reppMented at the
Mad lion sonferenco:
"Here is a spcclflo guarantee of
the most goneral protection to eaob
of tho signatory powers, oledging'to
each tbe same rights and privileges,
. 111 1 .
wnctner wicn regard to me, proper
ty or commerce. It Is interesting to
note, too, that in tbe official 'com
pilation of treaties' prepared at the
state department this treaty la
classed under tbo head of 'general
treaties.'
"Germany's part In these complica
tions oyer Morocco arises not from
any attempt to seize territory, not
from any effort to obtain privileges
of any sort except such as are eo-
Joyed by all of the signatories to taa
Madrid convention, but .from her ab-,
solute refusal to recognize or partici
pate In any arrangement Involving
tbe establishment of a sphere ef In
fluence in Morocco. Germany standi
for tbo open door in Morocco as la,
China, for the maintenance of the
status quo In hetb countries.

It developed at tho meeting ot the1

great deal of dissatisfaction among
tbo dlfforent unions in regard to tbe
mannor in which tbe present strike
Is being managed. Several members
of the strlko committee who were

thoy had novor been consulted byi
