EDWARD, PEACEMAKER.
Report Caused by Car and King
Exchanging Messages.

st. Petersburg, April 23.-The Russian capital
is agog with reports OF possible mediation be-
tween Russia and Japan through King Ed
ward a result of his majestys visit to
Copenhagen Not only in official quarters.
however. but everywhere. the Russians seem
to be Of one mind. that proffer of mediation
can be entertained while the empire is smart
ing under the sting Of defeat
Evidence has continued to accumulate that
King Edward seeking to bring about more
friendly relations with Russia and that efforts
in that direction were being sympathetically re-
ceived, except by the extreme radicals. Espe-
cially has this been true since the consum-
nation OF the Anglo-French entente. Charles
Hardinge, the new British Ambassador to Rus
STA, was the bearer Of a personal letter from
King Edward to the Emperor, and Sir Charles
s. Scott. the retiring ambassador, who leaves
st. Petersburg tomorrow. will~take letter to
King Edward, besides a personal message Of
the most cordial character. which the Emperor
asked him to convey to King Edward when Sir
Charles took luncheon with his majesty at the
Winter Palace yesterday.
There is good reason to believe that the En-
peror is favorably disposed toward adjust
ment of the long standing differences between
the two countries Besides it is an open secret
that the Emperor is greatly distressed over the
war He sincerely loves peace, but considers
that Russia was wantonly attacked. and that
after what has occurred the prestige of the en-
pire must be indicated before there can be any
intimation OF peace.
Though army and naval circles talk as II the
struggle had not yet begun in earnest, 1t is
realized that recent events make for a possible
termination of the at the earliest practical
BILE moment. Should Russia win signal victory
on land it is believed that Intervention might
become practicable.
The temper OF the people IS reflected in the
utterances of the influential journals. nearly all
of which are hostile to suggestions Of mediation.
The "Novoe Vremya" says 1t is not time to talk
of negotiations but only Of war The Russ
says:
1t is left 10 England to propose terms that
would not commit us. We have no faith in Brit
ish diplomacy.
The "Bourse Gazette" asks sarCastically what
Great Britain has to Offer and says Manchuria
is already Russian. The "Novosti" which has
been advocating a Russo British entente. dis
cusses the matter sympathetically. as does also
the "Lostok."

st. Petersburg. April 23.-The Russians have
placed guns in positions covering the crossings
OF the Yalu River. While General Kuropatkin
desires that the Japanese shall enter Man
churia, he proposes that they shall pay as dearly
as possible for the privilege, but without pre-
cipitating a general engagement Major Gem
eral Kashtalinsky is anxious to engage the
enemy. and begged General Kuropatkin for per-
mission TO do so, but the comma nder in chief
strictly forbade small sklrmishes where Il was
possible to avoid them.
1t is understood that General Kuropatkin in
tends TO deliver the decisive battle himself In
the mean time the cavalry and artillery at the
front engaged in constant drill and recon
noissances.
