END OF Struggle
NOT YET IN SIGHT
JAPAN AND RUSSIA REFUSE TO
ENTERTAIN PEACEFUL
OVERTURES.
RESULT OF MEETING OF
KING AND EMPEROR
Growing Optimistic Feeling at Wash
ington That Opening Will Soon
Present Itself to End Conflict by
Peaceful Methods.

Washington, July 1.-While the Of
ficials here are satisfied from their
private advices that the recent visit
of King Edward to his nephew, En-
peror William, was not brought about
by a purpose to initiate movement
toward the restoration of peace be-
tween Russia and Japan there is rea-
son to believe that some very careful
and discreet inquiries as to the op-
portunities of some such overtures at
this time have emanated from Wash
ington. 1T may be stated that the re-
suit has been to disclose the fact that
neither of the belligerent powers is yet
in humor to sue for peace nor even
to entertain overtures from any third
power on that subject.
The state department will continue
to maintain the friendly position it
has SO far held toward both Russia
and Japan, standing ready to mediate
and extend it's good offices to the full
whenever the belligerents indicate
their willingness to accept them. It
cannot be said that the situation is
sensibly changed from what it was a
month ago saving the fact that there
is a more optimistic feeling in official
quarters that there will soon be an
opening for diplomacy to exercise it's
peaceful methods in the far eastern
struggle.
