CZAR NICHOLAS TODAY SIGNED
HIS APPOINTMENT.
HE IS GIVEN PLENARY POWER
Will Conduct the Peace Proceedings
for Russia as Chief Plenipotentiary.
Official Notification Sent This Morn
ing.
St. Petersburg , July 13. Emperor
Nicholas today signed the appointment
of M.Vitte to be chief plenipotentiary ,
representing the Russian govterumeut
in the pence negotiations which will
be conducted In the United States.
The appointment clothes M. .Wltte
with plenary powers.
Official notification of the designa
tion of M. WItte to he head of the
peace commission for Russia was for
warded to Washington this morning.
Si. Petersburg , July 13. M. Mura-
vleff has resigned his position as chlei
peace plenipotentiary. It may be re
garded as practically certain that ha
will be replaced by M. Wltte , presl'
dent of the committee of ministers ,
who all along hoa been considered tno
Russian statesman pre-eminently
qualified to undertake the dlfllcull
task of negotiating pence with Japan
Though the emperor on two pre
vious occasions has flatly declined to
accept M. Wltte , he has now Indicated1
his readiness to make the appoint'
nient. The commission , how
ever , will Hot bo actually signed until
Foreign Minister L-ainndprff , WIL !
throughout has been M. Witto's wnrm
supporter , has had an audience will !
the emperor today. To that extent
only the matter may be regarded as
unsettled , nothing being certain in
Russia , as a prominent diplomat re
marked , until the emperor's signature
has been affixed. M. Wilto'fl selection
undoubtedly will bo hailed as a prac
tical assurance of peace . While It
would be n mistake to denominate
him as a "peace at any price" man ,
M. Witto earnestly holloves that tha
struggle should bo ended and should
be succeeded by an understanding bo-
tweeu RuKtUa and Japan which would
ensure peace in the far east for half
a century. Indeed , ho IH personally
believed to be In favor of a Russo-
Japanese all I an co.
The conduct of negotiations by M.
Wllte , It IB felt by the peace party
liurc , would inspire Instant confidence
In Japan. The only handicap under
which M. Witto laborn Is his lack of
familiarity with tbo English Ian
Ruiigo , OH the only foreign languages
ho speukH are Oennan and French.
M. Muravteff'fl retirement , ostonsl
bly owing to reasons of ill health , In
In reality duo to the fact that tin ;
emperor became convinced that the
negotiations might he Jeopardize ! If
he went to Washington. . . M. Muravioft
himself , upon consideration , frankly
recognized his lack of diplomatic
training and his want of acquaintance
with the questions Involved and with
equal frankness expressed satisfac
tion that ho had been rolloved. Tha
change In the ehlnf of the plenipoten
tiaries does not Involve any postpone
ment of the date of the sailing of tha !
peace commission for Wushlnaton. ,
