which both Russia and Japan have now
assumed, It Is regarded In official and dip
lomatic circles as ths first firm and decisive
step toward ultimate peace.
At a late hear tonight Mr. Takahlra.
Japanese minister, had not been advised
from Toklo of the delivery of the presi
dent's message to the emperor, but he was
expecting a cable dispatch to that effect at
any moment. The minister was ablo yester
day to transmit to the president a mes
sage from the mikado that Japan was, with
Russia, desirous of peace, provided it
could be obtained under proper conditions.
Baron Speck von Sternberg, German am
bassador, has throughout been the presi
dent's right bower in the negotiations and
as the personal envoy of Emperor William
has been able from the outset to assure the
president absolute and hearty support of
the German emperor In any effort to bring
about peace. It can now be said that for
days. the Oerman emperor has been sup
plementing the efforts of the president by
communication with the cxar urging peace.
Through the Grand Duke Michael, who
attended the wedding of the crown prince
In Berlin, the emperor sent the most urgent
advice to the csar that peace in the In
terests of Russia I be concluded without
further hostilities. The close personal
friendship between the president and the
German ambassador has been an Important
factor In the premltminarles.
Aware of the preference of Japan to com
rnunicate Jts peace terms to Russia di
rect, ths president In the last few days
has been active In counselling moderation
to Japan rather than endeavoring to draw
from Toklo some statement of probable
terms, At the Russian embassy tonight
Count Casslnl remained without advices
from St. Petersburg and he was unwilling
to comment on any phase of the situation.
Franca Alda la Netrotlntlons.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 8.-Midnlght-M.
Boutlron, first secretary of the French
embassy, had a leng conference with For
algn Minister Lamsdorff this afternoon and
M. Bompard, the French ambassador, is
hurrying back from Parts. France, in
itead of displaying Jealousy at the Initiative
taken by President Roosevelt with a view
to bringing Russia and Japan togother for
pcaoe, has apparently warmly welcomed It'
and will give1 It co-operation.
No further definite development Is now
ecpected until Piesident Roosevelt returns
to Washington from his trip to Virginia.
Statements In the dispatches that the
president's sole aim Is to bring the warring
powers together In direct negotiations have
been confirmed. There has been no under
taking on his part to apprise Russia of the
Japanese terms, nor, It Is believed, to find
a preliminary basis for negotiation. The
main obstacle to the president's efforts has
been removed with the emperor's acqui
escence In his Initiative and negotiations
are probably now proceeding at Toklo.
When the question of naming peace pleni
potentiaries was mentioned the name of
Qeorge de Staal, who preceded Count
Benksndorft as Russian ambassador at
London s,nd who was president of the peace
conference at The Hague In 1S99, at once
occurs to every Russian. Notwithstanding
the progress already made a great deal
of skepticism Is manifested In certain quar
ters as to ths result of President Roose
velt's demarches. The publlo seems re
luctant to believe that the emperor could
have assented to anything like a movement
toward peace. Some cynics even try to
create the Impression that Russia only
seeks to ascertain Japan's terms and thero-
oy naunt the hard conditions imposed
mm races or the representatives of the peo
ple when they meet to arouse ths whole
nation to resist them. Such talk, however,
Is mere, irresponsible chatter. The em
peror has cast the die and will make peace
If Japan's terms be such that Russia can
aocept them with dignity.
The emperor, it must be pointed out,
has not sued for peace. He has only as
sented to a proposition submitted by the
head of a friendly government and the
matter officially goes no further than that
Russia now, as ever, la ready to see if a
common basis can be reached.
Ambassador Meyer was Inconstant com.
municatlon with Washington this morning.
He received a long cipher dispatch and
soon afterward hurried to the Foreign
office, where he 'had half an hour's earnest
conversation with Foreign Minister Lams
dor IT concerning the Information trans
mitted to him.
Extreme reticence continues to be mani
fested, but It Is apparent that the announce
ment for which the world is waiting will
not be made from here or from Toklo, but
from Washington. It is not likely to be de
layed beyond Monday at the latest. No
hitch has occurred and the outlook con
Unties favorable to peace.
ine French charge d'affaires, M. Bou
tlron, the German ambassador, Von AI
vensleben. and the British ambassador, Srr
Charles Hardtnge were among Ambassa
dor Meyer's callers this afternoon.
The government Is plainly preparing the
public for the announcement that the em
peror has decided to conclude peace and
that the negotiations have begun by
permitting the publication of all the for
eign dispatches bearing on the subject.
The newspapers and the Russian public,
however, Have until now only had a sus
picion that important moves were going on
behind the scenes.
In well Informed circles it Is believed that
Japan already has instructed Field Mar
shal Oyama to stay his hand, pending the
result of the present tentative negotiations,
and that General Llnevltch also has been
confidentially advised of the situation.
Nevertheless, the Irreconcilable remnahts
of the war party are believed to be urging
the Russian commander-in-chief to assume
the offensive in the hope of achieving b
victory and thus change the emperor's
present disposition In favor of the con
clusion of hostilities.
Csar Shows 'Wisdom.
If such an intrigue la In progress It has
no chance of success. It cun be assumed
that there will be no further bloodshed In
Manchuria until the belligerents have de
cided whether it is now possible to agree
on peace terms. The government in the
present emergency Is acting with consid
erable wisdom. It la preparing the proc
lamation of a national assamhly, with, the
announcement that peace negotiations have
begun. The committee of ministers Is
hurrying through its examination of the
Boullgln rescript commission's project for
the Gosudarstvennal Duma (imperial
duma) scheme, already outlined In these
dispatches, Its consideration having com
menced yesterday and continuing today.
Practically no alterations are being mads
in the text, and the Associated Press learns
from a prominent Russian statesman con
versant with the situation that the review
of the Boullgln commission's project is
merely formal, as a manifesto promul
gating a lawgiving the Russian people a
voice in legislation Is already drafted. The
informant of the Assoclatsd Prose claims
to have seen the original and he expects
them to be proclaimed early next week.
All Support Roosevelt,
1:05 p. in. Evidence accumulates that
President Roosevelt's efforts in behalf of
peace have been supported by practically
every European power by the transmission
through their representatives ac the bellig
erents' respective capitals that it Is the
solemn conviction of their respective gov
ernments that the time has arrived for the
warring countries to conclude peace. The
president's endeavors seem limited to bring
ing the plenipotentiaries of Russia and
Japan together to arrange preliminary
terms for the conclusion of a limited armla-
, t.VO IUC DCIVtllUtl UI & tllBPM nil. I.K
In future negotiations, anil th rionir,n..i-
les in the opinion of the diplomats will
make the next move, as it Is not believed
Japan will divulge its terms Until the pleni
potentlarles meet. The ambassador of one
of the great European powers expressed
the opinion to the Associated Press that
the exchanges would not occur either at
Washington or at any European capital,
but upon the battlefield in Manchuria,
"Both Russia and Japan desire to conduct
the negotiations direct," said the ambassa
dor. "Where is there a better place than
Manchuria, which Is beyond the sphere of
outside influence, which is practically neu
tral territory and is in direct communica
tion with the respective capitals? Llnevltch
and Oyama confronting each other upon tho
Meld where they fought could arrange the
preliminaries. Once the main principles as
to the Indemnity, the status of Sakhalin
and Vladivostok and the question of the
Russian ships In neutral waters In the far
east are adjusted, all other questions could
easily be settled."
The Important fact developed today that
the Moscow meeting of lomstvoists and
mayors has not finally adjourned, but only
temporarily adjourned to await the em
peror's answer to the deputation dispatched
to him with the sensational address tele
graphed from Moscow yesterday demand
ing the Immediate convocation of a na
tlonal assembly. Count Hayden, who heads
the deputation, is here trying to arrange
for Its reception, which he would like to
occur on Monday when the other members
arrive. They are all marshals of the no
bility and t.U therefore, by an ancient law
oi nusaia, are tmmea to present me
morials direct to the sovereign.
Satisfaction In London.
LONDON. June 91:38 p. m Much sat
isfaction Is expressed In official diplomatic
circles here at the apparent success of
President Roosevelt In bringing Russia and
Japan together tor the purpose of ending
the war. Since his arrival here WhlteUw
Reld, the American ambassador, has been
in close and frequent communication with
the Foreign office. The ambassador Is not
willing at the present Juncture to disclose
the result of his visits, but apparently he
is well pleased with the progress of the
negotiations.
After a busy week, socially and officially,
the ambassador and Mis. Reld leave Lon
don tomorrow to spend the week-end with
Earl Egerton of Tatton and his wife, the
duchess of Buckingham and Chandose, at
Tatton park. Knutsford, Cheshire. The
other embassies are without any informa
tion. Russian official circles now think
that peace is probable or at least that a
cessation of hostilities is pending in an
endeavor to bring about a meeting of rep
resentatives of two powers. It is pointed
out In these circles that from the first
Russia declared Its preference of negotia
ting with Japan direct, and President
Roosevelt apparently Is acting on that line
In arranging the preliminaries for direct
negotiations between Japan and Russia.
Bompard Rttarni to Post.
PARIS, June 9.-1:10 p. m. M. Bompard,
the French ambassador to Russia, returns
to St. Petersburg tomorrow after a lengthy
conference with President Loubet at the
Foreign office, In which it is understood
the peace situation was fully discussed.
This will place the ambassador in a posi
tion to co-operate strongly In the efforts of
the United States and it is Intimated that
he may carry an autograph letter from M.
Loubet to Emperor Nicholas along lines
similar to President Roosevelt's message.
The general feeling here continues hopeful,
the officials considering that the emperor's
hesitation and Japan's military alms are
the chief obstacles remaining.
Correspondents Are Released.
NAGASAKI, June 9. Noon. Captain Cree
of the press steamer Industrie arrived here
yesterday evening from Sasebo, 'where he
had been detained since the vessel was
captured by the Japanese, March 28, while
presumably bound for Vladivostok. The
Chicago Dally News' correspondent, Mr.
Bannler, has been released from the naval
prison, where he had been detained.
CHICAGO, June 9. The Chicago Daily

t sar Itepllee to Rojest vensky.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 9.-4:20 p. m.-
Emperor Nicholas has cabled the following
message to Admiral Rojestvenslty:
From my heart I thank vou and all the
officers of the squadron who have honor
ably done their duty, for your unselfishness
lor nussia ana lor me. My tne win or llie
Almluiity success was not destined to
crown your endeavors, but your boundless
bravery will always be a source of pride
to the country.
I wish vou a SDeedv recovery. Mav God
console you ail.
tSigned,) NICHOLAS.
The wording of the message is attracting
attention. The restriction of the emperor's
thanks to those honorably doing this duty
Is fanning the ugly talk regarding the sur
render of ships and the conduct of some of
the crews. The messages of Admiral En
qulst and Captain Chagln of the Russian
cruiser Almas did not contain any intima
tion of misbehavior on the part of the
officers or crew.
Bnqnist Describe the Fight.
The emperor lius received a long cable
gram from Rear Admiral Enqulst, dated at
Manila, describing that portion of the bat
tle of the Sea of Japan on May 27, which
took place between Tsu Island, Kotu Island,
Admiral Enqulst says:
There was a clear sky with a fresh wind
and a very foggy horlxon. A Japanese fleet
appeared at 1:45 p. m. to the north and en-
BaKPa us in a tactical conmct, not per
quarters, reserving their missiles until
within "0 meters and making practice so
deadly that It redeemed all failure. The
battle showed s. mark?d Improvement In the
use of torpedoes, evidently caused by a
severe course of training they had pSissed
through."

Vlaillvostock. Every time our squadron
turned toward the north the superior speed
of the Japanese allowed them to outstrip
us, at the same time thoy concentrated
their fire on our leading battleships. The
Japanese squadron consisted of nine battle
ships and cruisers and the Japanese bat
tleship Chinyon maneuvered separaiely
trying to take our ships between two tiros.
These tactics continued throughout .the bat
tle and greatly hampered our transports.
Fifty minutes after the opening of the
battle our battleship Oslyahya was sunk and
the Horodlno was disabled. Soon after
wards the battleship Knlas Bouvaroff was
on tire, losing its masts ana tunnels ana
becoming disabled. Our squadron turned
to protect the Knlaz Souvaroff, but the
Borodino resumed Its place In the squadron.
The Japanese tactics compcllca our squad

The Borodino, which was at the head of
the column, received the concentrated nre,

the Japanese projectiles. With the coming

Several times I tried to escape, but was
attucked and obliged to turn to the south.
On the morning of the 2Sth, not knowing

PATRICK'S CASE AFFIRMED
By Majority of One New York Court
Decides the Fate of
Prisoner.
ALBANY. N. T., June 9. Tho court of
appeals today, by a divided court, voting
4 to J, sustained the lower courts in ad
Judging Albert T. Patrick, the New York
lawyer, guilty of murder In the first de
gree, in causing the death of William
Marsh Rice, an aged millionaire, formerly
of Texas. On April 7, 1902. Patrick was
convicted on an indictment charging him
with the murder of Rice by chloroform
and mercury administered to him during
his sickness on Beptember 23, 1900.
The opinion holds that Jones' confession
was sufficiently corroborated In all essen
tial particulars and concludes that tho
physical presence of Patrick was not neces
sary, ."in the eye of the law he had, in the
person of his accomplice, the miserable tool,
whom he had fashioned for his purposes
and had induced to do the killing." ,
The dissenting Judges hold that material
errors were permitted In the trial of the
case and that Important evidence in Pat
rick's favor was Improperly excluded. Judge
O'Brien's opinion holds that It was not
proved and cannot be proved that Rice was
living when the chloroform was applied to
his face and that "no one thought of chloro
form as the agency of the death until
Jones had made his fourth and last confes
sion, after recanting three others that
were shown to be false."
He sharply criticises both the court and
the district attorney in connection with the
conduct of the case.
Chief Judge Cullcn, In a short opinion,
concurs with Judge O'Brien for reversal,
but disagrees with him as to several propositions.
ST. PETERSBURG. June 10. The munici
pality of St. Petersburg has decided to give
Its adhesion to the address to Emperor
Nicholas, adopted by the all-Russian con
gress at Moscow, and has appointed a num
ber of Its members to Join the deputation
from the Moscow congress, which will pre
sent the address to the emperor.
The commencement of formal peace nego
tiations, especially If coupled with the
prompt announcement of the convoking of
a national assembly, may avert the threat
ened crisis which the liberals are forcing in
the government or It may only serve to
precipitate It.
Peremptory ninar In Address.
Moscow Is now a perfect hotbed of pro
test against the existing regime and the
address which the deputation from the all
Russian semstvo ccngress, held there, ha
brought to Bt. Petersburg to present to the
emperor, has fairly stunned the members
of the government.
Nothing approaching such language used
In the document from men of such stand
ing as those who signed It has ever been
heard In Russia. There has been a peremp
tory,rlng about It which Is ominous. Thoso
bearing the address came to Bt. Petersburg
claiming to be the plenipotentiaries of the
Russian people, delivering an ultimatum,
not begging terms, but demanding rights
and almost threatening the government
with civil war if It does not yield.
What Is more onimous still Is that the
body which this deputation represents has
not left Moscow, but haa adjourned, await
ing the emperor's reply.
Moscow Police Charge Crowd.
MOSCOW, June 9. The police with drawn
swords charged a crowd of 2.000 workmen

Bhots at them. The mob stood firm, where
upon the police charged and scattered it.
There were no further disturbances.
the political situation was fully threshed
out. The cordiality of the Bherlflan rulir
noticeably differed from his attitude at the
Official reception of the British minister.
It is still hoped here that an agreement
will bo reached directly between Frame
and Germany, as otherwise a long diplo
matic struggle disadvantageous to all la
foreseen.

WEALTH MADE FROM WASTE
Millionaire's Advice to Those Who
Pine for a Bundle of tbe
Wherewith.
"Study waste products If you would get
rich," said a millionaire. "Find some way
or. utilizing a waste that is now deemed
worthless. Set up a little plant, buy in
your waste for a few cents a ton and ex
tract from each ton a dollar's worth of Iron
or soap or silk or something. Then you
win soon De rolling in money.
"There was once a poor man who made
soap. A by-product of the soap business
was in his day a thick, slrupy, oily liquid
that ran oft from the soap kettles Into
tne sewers by hundreds of gallons dally,
for it was, ypu see. considered valueless.
iiui tne poor man converted this slrupy
liquid Into glycerine. He could get all
he wanted of the liquid for nothing and he
could sell It, refined by distillation, for 25
cents a pint. He gave up soapmaklng.
He became a glycerine maker solely. Soon,
too, he became a millionaire.
"Coal tar, the thick, black fluid that used
to be left over from gasmaklng, was once
thrown away. Today there is no limit to
the things that coal tar gives us. It gives
us saccharine, which la ninety times sweeter
than sugar. It gives us scores of bril
liant aniline dyes. It gives us two of our
most beneficent medicines, anti-fnbrlne and
antl-pyrine. It gives us benzine, naphtha,
creosote and carbolic acid. And each of the
men who, looking into the ugly and vile
depths of this coal tar fluid, found there
a thing of value, became rich.
."Poor men become rich not by following
the old, beaten, crowded roads, but by
striking out new roads for themselves.
Over the marshes of the world's waste It
is possible, believe me, to strike out many
an easy and short cut to the city of suc
cess." Chicago Chronicle.
