V. M. C A. Building Corner Sixteenth and Douglas Stret
countries to arrange a meeting of the
plenipotentiaries for the purpose of agree
ing on terms of peace, which arrived here
this morning, rent the veil, and for the
sceptics at St. Petersburg who refused to
believe President Roosevelt's efforts to
bring the belligerents together could suc
ceed It came like a bomb shell. President
Roosevelt's "sole purpose to bring about a
meeting" has been achieved and now It is
merely a question whether the results will
be the peace for "which the whole civilized
world will pray."
It Is a diplomatic triumph of the first
magnitude and the diplomats here make
no attompt to conceal their admiration for
the new world brand of diplomacy, which
acts while the remainder of the world
thinks.
The formal replies of Russia and Japan
are expected to be transmitted through
Count CasRlni, the Russian ambassador at
Washington, and M. Takahlra. the Japa
nese minister at Washington, but the sit
uation Is such at this hour as to leave no
doubt of the acceptance of both and that
the quostlon of the selection of plenipoten
tiaries and the place of meeting will follow.
President Roosevelt's urgent expression
In favor of direct negotiations exclusively
between the belligerents points straight
to the belief In Manchuria as the scene of
the negotiations and the dlsplomats gen
erally here entertain the view that Russsla
and Japan had best settle their quarrel
there beyond the range of possible outside
Influence. To the policy of nonconferenca
practically all the powers are committed.
Oreat Britain, it 1s felt heraliuUpiomatlo
clroles, will now complete the realisation
of what the president has begun by re
straining her ally and Inducing Japan to
proffer moderate terms which Russia can
accept.
European Diplomats Snrprlsed.
Paris. June 10. The news that President
Roosevelt has succeeded In bringing Russia
and Japan together has proved a veritable
coup d'tat to official and diplomatic quar
ters and the French public generally. Early
In the day the text of the president's mes
sage excited wide-spread attention and
comment, the prevailing view being that
It was a fearless move on his part which
disregarded the usual restraints of diplo
macy In order to attain the supreme end.
There was wonderment shown when a late
dispatch from Washington announced that
both parties had accepted President Roose
velt's suggestion and that a meeting be
tween them was assured. Although no
official confirmation was obtainable here,
the press , report excited Intense Interest
particularly among diplomats, many of
whom assembled at a reception at the
Austrian embassy tonight. At the British
embassy, where the ambassador enter
tained the British visitors to the Grand
Prix It was said that If this news was
exact, it was a most notable achieve
ment. A member of the French council of
State said that President Roosevelt had
given the world evidence of the United
States' beneficial Influence In world af
fairs. Premier Rouvler left the foreign
offlce before the report was received and the
official was without advice.
At the Japanese legation the secretaries
have been busy deciphering Toklo dis
patches, but were silent as to results. The
Russian embassy has not been Informed
officially on the matter.
M. Bompard, the French ambassador to
Russia, who started for St. Petersburg to
day, was prepared to co-operate with Am
bassador Meyer and to supplement on be
half of France the American appeal, al
though it would now appear that the
United States has achieved the desired re
sult practically unaided.
Preach Press Comment.
The Debats and the Temps devote leaders
to highly eulogistic comments on Presi
dent Roosevelt's action. The Debate says:
The president of the United States Is par
ticularly qualltWd to adopt these pacific
words, for America is not allied to theae
belligerents and her interests in the ex
treme orient are without political par
tiality. Moreover, friendly traditions at
tach the United States to both Russia and
Japan. Mr. Roosevelt U therefore better
able than any other chief of state to en
gage the attention of the two contending
parties, and the manner In which he has
taken this step is admirable. Neither Rus
sia or Japan can take the slightest
umbrage. President Roosevelt in maklnir
this appeal in the Interest of the world at
large does not go beyond unlversul senti
ment which stands behind his action.
The Temps says:
The text of the American note does honor
t the sentiments of President Roosevelt
He expresses the wish of the whule world
lor peace, both In form and substance this

document Is most commendable. These are
times when nations should put aside their
amour propre and consider the great ends
of civilization. Will the belligerents com
prehend that the supreme moment has ar
rived? Situation In Hossla.
Before the news of the success of the
appeal was received officials commented on
the difficulties confronting Russia in con-
siderlng It. One ambassador said:
The dread of a revolution Influences all
decisions at the Russlun court. The em
perors sister, who wields unusual Influ
ence, Is among those holding that the re
turn of the army without a single victory
will precipitate an internal crisis. This
view prevails among the entourage of the
emperor, which In general considers the
winning of a land engagement vital in or
der to retain the throne s military support.
On the other hand, one of the foremost
statesmen of Russia told me that a revolu
tion In Russia was Impossible for the ren-
' .tha. Ru8B'a" population was

Germany Looks for Peace.
BERLIN, June lO.-The text of President
Roosevelt's message on the subject of peace
to the governments of Russia and Japan is
regarded at the Foreign office here as ad
mirable in spirit and phrasing, and positive
hope now exists of comparatively early
peace. The Russian emperor. In fact. In
vlted the action of the president and had
much to do with the form that the presi
dent representations took; EmptW Nich
olas, through the Council of powerful per
sonal influence In Russia became disposed
toward peace some days in advance of the
president s action. It was recognised at
the Russian court and at this court also
that no man In the world could so well
make an appeal for peace as President
Roosevelt. His known views, the detach
ment of the United States from the Euro
pean system and the good will Japan feels
toward the United States made the presl
dent the solitary statesman
such a step without either side distrusting
nun or xeeiing annoyed by his solicitude.
The conviction here is that Rnui. i. ...

Great Britain for Peace.
LONDON, June 10.-12:40 p. m.-The keen
est Interest is manifested in President
Roosovelt's note endeavoring to bring
Japan and Russia tO an llnHnratiinHlni.
While the British government Is not tak
ing any part in the negotiations, It is giv
ing the most cordial support to the presi
dent, of whose actions In the matter it
has been Kept fully Informed. Diplomatlo
and official circles speak in the highest
terms of the diplomatlo manner In which
the president handled the matter and are
fully in accord with what they consider
to be the only way In which the difficulty
could be overcome. Tha I7nlti atou.
being entangled In any way, was really
the only country which could take action,
but even President Roosevelt could not do
more than endeavor to start direct nego
tlatlons between the belligerents.
Japan, It can be stated, refused to start
the negotiations until fully assured of the
earnestness of Russia and that its pro
posals would be seriously considered. Its
demands will Include an Indemnity, the
amount of wMch. has been fixed by the
Japanese government, and on this point
the president is urging lenient treatment.
It is considered here that Japan la enUtled
to an Indemnity and It la pointed out that
while the payment of an Indemnity might
affect the standing of Russia among the
powers. It Is not so serious as the loss of
territory, besides, the payment of an in
demnity would be forgotten sooner than
the loss of territory and would leave no
feeling for revenge. Financial circles In
London are of the opinion that the Japa
nese will demand an Indemnity amounting
to about $1,000,000,000, that being their esti
mate of the cost to the Japanese of the
Ixteen months' fighting. This la consid
ered In some quarters to be too large an
estimate of tha expenditure, which Is
muugni to De nearer $0u0.0u0,000.
Speculating; I'non Terms.
Diplomatic circles In London are olosely
concerned about the present movement and
are of the opinion that plenipotentiaries
will meet In Washington. Baron Rosen,
who Is to succeed Count Casslnl as Rus
sian ambasaador to the United States
probably representing Russia. It la un
derstood that Russia now admits In prlncl-
? V- V h demn1 tor Indemnity is
3utlfled. It 1. suggested that the terms of
Japan will probably also Include tha
acknowledgement of a Japanese protec
torate over Cores, the total Russian evac-
SiSa. UnchurU- Ending over of
Russian Intereets on the Llaotung penin
sula and at Port Arthur to Japan and the
U' r"""4 from Port Arthur
i Jf. Th nation of the island of
SakhalU will also It
that tA. amount of tha Indemnity which
will be damaudaa b, jana. will dlpd to
some measure on other conditions. If
these are considered to be such as will
ensure a durable pence the Indemnity will
be less than It otherwise would.
Japan's Position.
TOKIO, Juno 11. 1 p. m. After acknowl
edging the receipt of President Roosevelt's
letter Minister of Forebjn Affairs Komura,
In a note to Mr. Qrlscom. the American
minister, says the Imperial government has
given the suggestion of President Roose
velt the serious consideration to which,
coming from that Important source. It Is
Justly entitled. Minister Komura's note
says that Japan, In the Interest of the
world as well as that of Japan, is willing
to re-establish peace with Russia on terms
and conditions that will fully guarantee
the stability of the Imperial government.
Therefore Japan will. In response to the
suggestions of President Roosevelt, appoint
plenipotentiaries to meet the plenlpoten
Maries of Russia at such time and place as
may be found equally agreeable and con
venlent for the negotiating and concluding
of terms of peace, directly and exclusively
between the two belligerent powers.

Interest of the Policyholder
Takes Active Chart
Jnly 1.
NEW YORK, June 4u.-The Installation
of 1'aul Morion, secretary of the navy, as
head of the Equitable Life Assurance so
ciety, was auspiciously attended today by
the prompt acceptances as members of
the new board of trustees of the Hyde es
tate stock of Former President Uiover
Cleveland and George Westlnghouse, Jus
tice Morgan, J. o Brlen, the third mem
ber of the board, having already accepted.
Mr. Morton also received assurances of
full approval of his selection as chairman
of the board of directors from August Bel
mont and Bray ton Ives, the latter of
whom, after resigning from the board
wrote to Mr. Morton, explaining his resig
nation, and tendering the assurances of
hi best wishes for his success. The new
chairman spent the greater part of the
day in conierences with President Alex
ander and other officials of the society.
He will not enter upon the active dis
charge of his new duties until after his
resignation as secretary of the navy on
Jti'? 1.
Secretary Morton Interviewed.
Paul Morton, the newly elected chairman
of tne board of directors of the Equitable
Life Assurance society, said today that in
his plans for the reorganization of the so
ciety he Intends to consider first of all the
Interests of the policy holders.
You can say for me," said Mr. Morton,
"that my watch word in my connection
with the Equitable Life Assurance society
will be, 'For the best interests of the
policy holders.' I do not propone to re
flect In any way on the former manage
ment. I simply take matters as I find
them and shall give all my efforts to carry
on the society in the proper way. The In
terests of the policy holders are the great
est Interests, and It would seem to me that
no policy leaving this fact out of con
sideration can succeed."
Mr. Morton was then asked whether Mr.
Cleveland had agreed to act as a trustee.
"I really don't know as to that," he
said. "In fact, I don't believe any one
knows what decision Mr. Cleveland has
reached. I hope he will accept."
Continuing, Mr. Morton said: 1
"I fully appreciate the honor that has
been done me by the directors o the
Equitable in selecting mo to act as their
chairman. I can only say that I will do
everything In my power to administer the
affairs of the society In such a way as to
preserve the fullest confidence of the policy
holders and public generally."
Mr. Morton expects to leave for Wash
ington today.
George Westlnghouse announced today
that he had accepted the trusteeship of
Equitable stock offered by Thomas F.
Ryan. Justice Morgan O'Brien also baa
agreed to act as trustee.
Confers vrltn Officers.
Mr. Morton spent a part of the day in
conference with President James W. Alex
ander and Vice Presidents Hyde, Wilson
and Tarbell in President Alexander's of
fice. Mr. Morton said afterward that he
had called a meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Equitable society for Wednes
day. It was yet too early, Mr. Morton
said, for him to define his policy in the
Equitable society and he would not be
ablo actively to take up his new work
until relieved of his official duties at Wash
ington.
It Is probable that some of the former
directors who recently withdrew will be
asked to reconsider their resignations.
These will Include Cornelius N. Bliss, Rob
ert T. Lincoln and T. Jefferson Coolldge,
as well as a number of New York men
whose reRlgnstlons have been accepted by
the board.
Brayton Ives today resigned as a director
of the Equitable society.
Belmont Makes Statement.
August Belmont today gave out the fol
lowing statement bearing on the selection
of Paul Morton as chairman of the board
of directors of the Equitable society:
What has been done and the manner in
which It was done has, and had at the
meeting, my fullest endorsement. I was.
not aware until late last evening who com
posed the purchasing syndicate and It was
not material to me; the principle was the
right one and 1 had been advocating prac
tically what has been accomplished. It is
not true, as has been stated, that I op
posed Mr. Morton. Had I known of Mr.
Hyde's decision (we were all In Ignorance
of It) I would havo advocated reporting his
nomination oy tne committee, out i ill a not
knorw Mr. Morton well enough to assume
the responsibility of proposing him with
out powers which he now possesses and
atached, and so the question went to the
full board. Mr. Ryan deserves tne grati
tude of everyone, and that movement has
my hearty endorsement and support.
Effect on Stock Market.
The stock market was revived today by
the morning's reports of . a settlement
effected in the long-standing Equitable Life
dispute. The long drawn out discussion of
this topic has weighed heavily on the mar
ket and great relief was felt over the pros
pect of getting It out of the way. iThe
result was an accumulation of large buying
orders In the market, which were pretty
well distributed all through the list. There
was a momentary check to the rlso on ac
count of the Inviting profits offered on the
overnight adv.moe, but prices then began
to go forward sgaln. Except for the ac
cumulated orders at the opening, business
was small and the market seemed to be
still largely In the hands of the professional
element. The holiday In London deprived
the market of one usual source of demand.
Advances of from 1 to 1H points became
fairly good before the course of the first
hour of trading. Metropolitan Street Rati
way was conspicuous with a gain of 3
points.
PRINCETON, N. J., June lO.-Former

NO PROPOSALS 1-OR PEACE
SOLDIERS AND OFFICERS FIGHT
Coantry Is Scoured for Private Who
Starta the Trouble and
Gets Away.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., June lO.-(Speclnl )
A detail of soldiers from Fort Russell Is
searching the surrounding country for
frank hui, the soldier who precipitated
the fight with the police and who attempted
to murder Policeman Tom Holland. Hill
eluded the police and the crowd of angry
citizens who came to the assistance of
Holland, and made his way to Fort Rus
sell. Securing money and clothing Hill
left the post and Is probably getting out
of the country now.
The trouble was caused by Patrolman
Holland arresting a drunker soldier at the
Germanla saloon. - Holland was taking his
prisoner to police headquarters when fif
teen or twenty soldiers suddenly pounced
down upon him. Holland Is a powerful
man and for a time held nntn M trimn
and fought off the soldiers. 8eelng that he
I would get the worst of the fight he pulled
j his gun, which was wrenched from his
I grasp 'by Private Frank Hill who, as he
l darted away, fired three shots at the of
ficer. Hill's aim was bad and all shots
went wild.
Several other officers appeared and after
a short fight captured some of the rioters
and put the others to flight.
In the scrimmage Frank Newhouse, the
trainer, was struck on the head, but not
seriously Injured. A stray bullet passed
through the sleeve of Bailey, Inflicting a
small flesh wound.
Yesterday was payday at Fort Russell
and more than 300 soldiers came to the
city, many of them getting- drunk. The
police force will now be strengthened and
the soldiers will not be given as much
freedom as formerly. Every effort pos
sible will be made to apprehend Hill and
he will be given the full limit of the law.
Many soldiers deserted from the Elev
enth Infantry, Eighth and Thirteenth bat
teries, at Fort Russell yesterday and to
day. The officers at the post have a num
ber of details out searching for the de
serters, while the police are also keeping
a sharp lookout. There Is a standing re
ward of $50 for the capture of a deserter.

Mrs. Jeremiah Runyan, New York City.
Both Mrs. Runyan and Mr. Hoops were
unconscious for half an hour after betng
taken from the water, but are expected to
recover.
The accident occurred at the north end
of the bridge, where there Is an upward
slope of 200 feet before the end of the
bridge or the edge of the draw is reached.
This slope Is so steep that It has not been
thought necessary to stretch chains across
the roadway as is done at a number of
other bridges for the reason that It would
be almost Impossible for a vehicle to slide
over the edge Into the river.
