the principles and justice to all organ
izatiOns Of capital and labor. A re-

put an end to the movement to NOM
mate him for president by sending 10

England Surprised.

London: The news from Washing,
ton that steps were believed to have
been taken looking to mediation be-
tween Russia and Japan creates great
surprise here. The British govern
ment not only has taken no part in
such measures, but apparently is ig-
norant that they are in progress.
Official opinion here, from Premier
Balfour down, is that the time is not
yet ripe for any offer of mediation,
but, to quote a person in Mr.. Bal
fOur's confidence, Great Britain has
kept the door open for any such con.
tingeDcy."
