ence between the ambassador and the For
eign oflloc here resulted in the president
and emperor finding that they had Identical
views on th subject of peace and were
nearly of the same opinion aa to the method
of drawing Russia and Japan into negotia
tions. The Joint view appeared to be that
Dthers, Including France and Ureat Britain,
nuKht to be left out because to be sure of a
i mmunity of views among all would be a
slow and cumbersome business and would
lmpresn Russia as taking on the character
of outride pressure. This is precisely what,
as the Associated Tress Is Informed, Presi
dent Roosevelt and Emperor Wllllum wish
to avoid. They wanted the emperor of Rus
sia to take the Initiative and sought only
that he should avail himself of the Amer
ican and German governments as instru
ments for making the first stfp toward
peace easier.
titr Prepared for SIicwIiir.
The Russian government was informed
through Count Cassinl, the Russian am
bassador at Washington, through Count
Alvensleben, the German ambassador at
St. Petersburg, through Mr. Myer, the
American ambassador at tit. Petersburg,
and through Count von Osten-Sacken, the
Russian ambassador at Berlin, of what the
United Statts and Germany were seeking,
so that Ambassador Myer's audience by
Emperor N'icholas was prepared for In the
fullest manner. The understanding here is
that Emperor Nicholas went so far as to
say to Ambassador Myer that he would like
to know what Japan's terms would be. This
Inquiry was not to be construed as asking
for peace, but only as telling friends that
before taking so grave a step on their ad
vice the Russian government might prop
erly and naturally desire to know through
those friends how Japan regarded peace.
Japan, it is believed In government quar
ts rs here, will be reluctant to lay down
..peclftc peace conditions far more reluc
tant than at any stage of the war, because
preparation has been made to carry the
campaign to Russian territory, take Vladi
vostok and lturUin and then exclude Russia
from the Pacific. I'nless Its high conditions
are complied with this Is a crude expression
of what Is thought to be Japan's immediate
policy.
Wltte and Uniadorlt Inquire.
PARIS, June . It is definitely known
that the Russian foreign minister. Count
I-ainsdorft, seconded by M. Wltte, president
f the committee of ministers, has Initiated
overtures through the Russian representa
tives abroad to learn Japan's disposition
and terms of peace. These overtures, It is
i-aid here, began three days ago and were
the basis of the decidedly more hopeful
view which the officials began to have. At
the same time it was then, and still Is, rec
ognized that Count Lamsdorff and M. Wltte
represent the peace element, and It is not
jet clear bow far the movement Is shared
by the emperor. However, Count Lams
dorff's position gives the overtures the force
of coming from responsible quarters,
whereas the previous movements lacked
official origin. This clears the way for con
versations between officials and diplomats
here and at other capitals which are now
actively 'going on These necessarily are
circuitous owing to Russia's Inability to
appeal to Japan directly. M. Nelidoff, the
Russian ambassador here, has already con
versed with the French authorities, who are
fully aware of the desires of Count Urns
durff. The change in the Foreign office port
folio from M. Delcass to Premier Rouvler
will lend aid toward bringing the parties
together. This Is likely to occur both
through the Japanese authorities here and
indirectly with London as an intermediary
of Japan. British and American influences
are chiefly relied on to movo Japan now
that Count iJuiiBilortT and M. Wltte have
made the preliminary approaches. The
until Vladivostok Is taken and all the ter
ritory up to Lake Baikal Is under Japanese
control. The diplomats also believe that
Tokio will hesitate to lay down terms until
it Is clear that Emperor Nicholas is willing
to treat for peace.

General Batjanoff, commander of the
third Manchurtan army, addressing the
troops yesterday on the occasion of tho
emperor's birthday, told them he hoped
soon to be able to telegraph the news of a
Russian vlc'ory to his majesty. Later, In
conversation with the correspondent of tho
Associated Press, the general declared that
the destruction of the fleet was a sad and
hard blow, but that it would not affect
the morale of the troops, who, with the
doggedness of Russian soldiers, were pre
pared to fight on as long as the emperor
gave the word.
"If the sea Is lost," he added, "Russia
can still be victorious on land. Peace, un
less Japan is reasonable. Is Impossible."

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., June 8. Reports
tonight from the flooded basin of the Grand
river north of this city indicate that the
worst is over. The river is beginning to
fall rapidly. At lonla It hns fallen two
feet In twenty-four hours and at other
points a corresponding fall Is noticed. All
the rivers flowing into the Grand, Including
the Maple, Flat, Thornapple and Rogue
are subsiding.
At 8 o'clock tonight the river gaugo here
read 17.9 feet. This Is a rise of six Inches
In the past twelve hours. Director
Schneider of the weather bureau says the
crest of the flood will be eighteen feet, and
will be reached by midnight. The west side
dike still holds and Indications are that
tho section flooded last year will escape
Inundation.
Blocks of Honses Flooded.
This afternoon the southwest portion of
the city was Inundated and a lake two
miles long and a mile wide was formed,
Whole blocks of houses were flooded and
many manufacturing plants wero forced
to shut down. Hundreds of acres of farm
lands are under water from two to Ave feet
There may be an aggregate damage to
farm property alone of $1,000,000.
The situation In railroad lines Is steadily
improving, the only line In the city which
is very seriously affected being the Grand
Trunk, which is still tied up completely
east and west.
Three Dams Wanned Awny.
A special to the Evening Press says that
communications have been partially re-established
with Whitehall, which has been
Isolated for sixty hours. The conditions on
White river about the town are worse than
had been expected. The damage to crops,
bridges and dams will reach hundreds of
thousands. The large dams at White Cloud,
Hesperia and Ferry were completely
washed away.
About lvu concerns, large and small, are
closed today because of the flood. Six
thousand men are out of employment. The
river rose two feet In the past twenty-four
hours.
In the south end of the city today every
house on Earle street, Lettelier, South
Front, Gelock, Court, Olive street. West
Wealthy avenue and Tolford street, Is par

try.
Omaha Swedes, acting through the Posten,
of which F. A. Anderson, former state rep
resentative from Knox county, is editor,
are preparing a resolution to be presented
to the Augustana synod of the Swedish
Lutheran church Just assembled at Stan
ton, requesting the synod to prepare a me
morial to be sent to King Os
car of Sweden conveying the sym
pathy of the Swedes of this church
to him, in view of the secession of Norway
from the Scandinavian union, atid the hope
that some steps may be taken to Insure an
amicable adjustment of the situation.
The Augustana synod embraces the
churches of the Swedish Lutheran denomi
nation in every state of the union. Of the
2,000,000 Swedes in the United States this
church bus a membership ot about 200.000,
and this does not Include those Swedes
who affiliate with the Swedish mission
about the luml In number, according to M.
J. Hendrlcksoij, one of the prominent Swed
ish Lutherans of Omaha.
"The Idea, therefore, Is to give this
moveme'iie character of a national eu
terprise," asserted Mr. llendrlckson, one
of the originators of the thought. "And
we do not simply propose to convey our
sympathies, but are willing to aid finan
cially In whatever way It may seem best
or practicable.
The secession of Norway is entirely un
justifiable. The Swedish nation has not
merited this sort of action. I think the
secession will not mean permanent separa
tion. Ultimate reunion will come about, I
am sure, but If It cannot, oe accompusnea
soon by reasonable terms war certainly
will ensue. As for permanent disunion,
England and Germany would not tolerate
that, and I think Norway would have a
difficult time in pursuadlng Itself In the
end that It is best. Norway had no Just
grounds for complaint. The statement Is
made as a basis of Norwegian dissatisfac
tion that that nation wanted separate con
suls. Since It now has eighteen out of the
twenty-seven consuls acting for the two
countries, I cannot see why It should com
plain." P. E. Flodman and B. C. Gustavson, who,

Serene and content, Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe quietly celebrated her 8Mb. birthday
anniversary May 27 In her Beacon street
home, Boston, with her children and grand
children about her. From a host of friend
nine congratulations, loving greetings anJ
floral offerings. Among the latter was an
Immense basket of American Beauty roses
from the Greeks of Boston. On May 24 the
Boston Authors' club held a reception for
Mrs. Howe, at which quatrains written in
her honor by the members were read by
Colonel Thomas Wentworth Hlgginson, and
a gift from the alub of a silver purse con
taining $150 in gold was presented by Mrs.
May Alden Ward. Mrs. Howe read a poem
which she had written for the occasion. As
if to emphasize the fact that the "fame of
her worth" Is International, a greeting was
received from the Italian colony of Boston
signed by 200 names. The New England
Women's club celebrated Mrs. Howe's
birthday with a breakfast on May 29, at
which there was a distinguished company,
with speeches, verses, music, flowers and
goodwill. Mrs. Howe Is In good health, her
spirit continues young, and she has many
Interests. Her birthday week was a busy
one. Aside from the festivities she enter
tained on Wednesday evening the Philhel
lenic committee, and 7as chosen Its presi
dent. On Thursday she attended the funeral
of her beloved friend. Mrs. Llvermore, and
on Friday she delivered a forcible address
on "The Revival of Morality" before the
Free Religious association. She has written
much of late. The Christian Endeavor
World for May 25 contains an article from
her pen entitled "The Noble Women of the
War," and the Boston Transcript of May 27
a worthy tribute to Mrs. Llvermore.

Through the persistent efTorts of the
Consumers' league the subway news-stands
of New York have been brought under the
mercantile law. The Board of Health has
at last made a decision that the stands
are stores and that the girls who sell papers
and magazines are clerks. Until the league
took hold of the matter these girls had
worked twelve hours a day, with no time
off for lunch, at a salary of $6 a week.
Under the mercantile law no woman under
21 years of age. can work in a shop or store
more than nine hours a day or In a fac

Many women were In the courtroom

children and the Judge ordered the children

AT THE PLAY HOUSES
Members of Association Will Hold
Conference Tonlaht Strikers
Aaaln t all I pon State
Street Merchants.
(JHICAOO, June 8 The teamsters' strike
has reached the point where Its further
progress and its further Increase Is depend
ent upon the action taken by the members
of the Chicago Team Owners' association.
This organization has from the first de
clined to make deliveries to the boycotted
houses and has constantly urged the team
sters to arbitrate the question of making
such deliveries.
The teamsters have positively refused to
deliver or receive goods, and now the last
chance of securing any concessions from
the teamsters having faded away, the mem
bers of the Team Owners' association must
either decide to deliver goods or allow the
teamsters to have their own way In the
matter. Opinion among the members of the
Team Owners' association Is strongly di
vided and tho result may be a split in Its
ranks. Many of the largest team owners In
the city have announced that they are go
ing to make deliveries, while others are un
decided as to their course of action. A
meeting of the organization will be held
tomorrow night and the action taken at
that time will largely determine the future
scope of the strike. If the Team Owners'
association decides to make deliveries and
discharge all of Its men who refuse to obey
orders, the ranks of the strikers will be In
creased by about R.OOO men.
Strikers Call on Merchants.
The strikers made another attempt today
to force a break in the ranks of the Em
ployers' association. A committee called on
Edwnrd Hillman. proprietor of n large dry
goods store, and asked him to arrange
another conference between the teamsters
and the employers. Mr. Hillman positively
refused, saying that unless the strikers had
some new proposition to offer It was use
less to attempt to reach any agreement.
Their present attitude he said was such as
there could be no possible middle ground
upon which the employers could meet them.
This was the only attempt at adjusting the
strike made today and It Is not probable
that more efforts will be mado for some
time to come.
Shea Ketones Further Concessions.
Peace In tho teamsters' strike seemed to
day to be as far away aB ever. Settlement
with the express companies and a demand
by the unions that police be withdrawn
from wasons with th calling off of the
strike were apparently Insuperable obsta
cles to an adjustment. President Cornelius
8hea of the Teamsters' union took an ac
tive part In the latest conference with the
employers, although he was responsible for
blocking peace negotiations several days
ago after he had been left out of a meeting
between the committee of employers and
teamsters. Shea would have been excluded
from the new conference If the employers
had agreed to the demand of the union
officials that the employers' attorney. Levy
Mayer, also should keep away.
This demand was refused promptly and
Shea then was called in. He made a vigor
ous fight against altering the propositions
of the teamsters to suit the demands of the
employers.
Beginning with a "peace argument," a
labor discussion at North avenue and Roby
street today grew into a riot, which blocked
two Ilnes of street cars, held up traffic in
several streets, brought two police patrols
and ended when one man was taken to the
hospital and four men were In cells. In
cidentally several heads were bruised.
Ferris Stock Company at the Boyd.
For the regular midweek change of bill at
the Boyd theater, the Ferris Stock company
Is endeavoring to put life Into "The Holy
City," a poorly constructed melodrama by
Thomas W. Broadhurst, based on Incidents
connected with the life of Christ. It Is too
palpably a copy of tbe Paul Heyse drama,
"Mary of Mngdala," well known through
Mrs. Flske's fine production, to call for ex
tended explanation. It lacks the dramatic
Intensity one expects In the treatment of
such a theme, and while It fairly bristles
with spectacular effects, It Is not thrilling
In any sense. The scenery, costuming and
lighting arrangements are excellent and
worthy of a better play. The redeeming
feature of the performance Is the Intelligent
and earnest effort made by Miss Pavey to
give Interest and vitality to an apparently
hopeless part. She reads the stilted lines
set down for Mary the Magdalene with
much effect, and almost succeeds In making
the situations dramatic despite the appar
ent difficulty supplied by the cobbling work
of the author, who has aimed at sensation
Instead of artistic effect. Mr. Barton, as
Simon Peter, Is as effective as his lines and
the action of the piny will permit, while
Mr. Dowlln gives animation to Barrabas. a
fantastic character, Inserted to relieve
Judas of the responsibility placed on him
by Heyse and reduce him to tho state to
which he Is consigned by Dante. A crowded
house witnessed the opening performance
last night, and rewarded Miss Pavey with
a hearty call at the close of the second act.
"The Holy City" will be the bill until after
the matinee on Sunday.
The Cnldwell Stock Company at the
Krusf.
Last night the Caldwell Stock company
at the Krug put on "Just Before Dawn," a
thriller that combines some of the features
of both the old and the new schools of Its
class. It hns a climax at the end of each
of Its first three acts, and a denoument at
the close of the fourth, on which the cur
tain falls. Miss Fuller, who is leading the
company, has a role that calls for little his
trionic effort, and the rest of the company
are similarly sltunted. The audience last
night was large and apparently satisfied
with the efTorts of the players. The bill
will be unchanged until after Saturday
night, with a matinee on Saturday.
