PRESIDENT WOULD
ACT AS ARD|TER
Russia and Japan Have Been So
Advised.
BELLlGERENTS NOT YET READY
Russian Newspaper IL Quoted a
Saying That Russia Would well
come Peace Proposal From
the United States.

Washington, May 27.-Through its
ambassador at st. Petersburg and its
minister at Toxic, the government has
made known, informally and delicately,
to the Russian and japanese govern
ments that the president stands ready
to tender his good Offices to bring
about peace between them at the mo-
ments when both are willing that such
a step shall be taken.
The attitude of the government in
this connection has been discussed not
only in the capitals of the belligerents,
but here in Washington between Secre-
tary Hay and the Russian and the jap
anese diplomatic representatives. 1t
has been made clear to the United
states, however, that neither Russia
o Japan is willing to tolerate for an
instant at this time the idea of for
eign mediation to put an end to the
war. Realizing this, the representa-
tives of the United States have not per-
sisted in pressing the subject, but have
contented themselves with making
plain that whenever Russia and Japan
are ready to adjust their differences the
government at Washington is to be
considered as the mutual friend who
will act the role of peacemaker. 1t
should be understood that at no time
was any direct proposal made by this
governments representation. Both
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa-
dor, and Mr.. Takahira, the japanese
minister, had interviews with Secretary
Hay Thursday. Afterward Count Cas-
SIM took luncheon with President
Roosevelt at the White House.
There is no desire or intention on
the part of this government to take
any measures for bringing the wal to
an end that would be unacceptable to
the two belligerents or their officials.
Adhering to the principle of noninter-
ference in the affairs of foreign nations,
the government holds that it has NO
warrant to intimate, by even the most
ending to the war.
The Novoe Vremya, the leading news
paper of Russia, has been quoted as
saying that Russia would welcome a
proposal from the United States tc
have the whole far Eastern question
war. From what has occurred, the ad-
ministration doubts hat Russia would
look kindly on any such proposal.

BRISTOW WAS NOT ROBBED
St. Joseph Police Find the S11 900
Which He Claims to Have
Lost in Chicago.

st. Joseph, Mo, May 27.-Charlec
Bristow is under arrest here, and the
police have found the $11 900 of which
his brother, Alonzo Bristow, claims TO
have been robbed in Chicago last week.
Alonzo Bristow had shipped horses

CT being robbed, Bristow turned the
money over 20 Ray Richards, a young
man whose home is in this city. Rich
ards brought he money here and gave
il to his father.
Charles Bristow learned from his
brother that the money was here and
came here to get it. He threatened
Richards and his father with a revolt
yer. The elder Richards then placed
the money in the hands of a lawyer
ard Bristow was arrested.
The money has been turned over to
w. E. Crum, the Bedford banker, who
claims it, and Charles Bristow will
probably be released.

MISS ROOSEVELT IN ST. LOUIS
Daughter of the President to Visit
the Worlds Fair.
A Large Crowd Was Mt the Union
station when the Young
Woman Arrived.

st. Louis, May 27.-Miss Alice
Roosevelt, daughter of the president,
is in st. Louis, where she will remain
one week.
This young woman, whom celebrity
and adulation have left unspoiled, ar
rived at 1:4O over the Pennsylvania
railroad, having come direct from
Washington.
A large crowd of sightseers were at
the Union station when the young
woman, attractively gowned in a trav-
cling costume, stepped from the train.
She was accompanied by Miss Alice
Warder, of Washington.
Miss Roosevelt was greeted impul-
sively by her ST. Louis hostess. Miss
Irene Catlin, who, with a girl friend.
was in waiting. Miss Catlin led her
guests to the carriage, and was driven
to her home at No. II Vandeventer
place, where a suit of rooms on the
second floor had been prepared for the
distinguished visitor, who is to be so
highly honored socially in st. Louis.
Flowers decorated the rooms in pro-
fusion, and a large painting OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in military costume,
faced Miss Alice Roosevelt as she en-
tered from the hallway.
Miss Roosevelt spent a quiet after
noon. At five she was entertained at
a small garden party held on the large
lawn of the Catlin residence. One hun
bred young ladies, all close friends of
Miss Catlin, had been invited.
There was a crowd of people at the
Union station to await the arrival of
Miss Roosevelt. She was heartily greet
ed by Miss Irene Catlin, whose guest
she will be, and T. E. Catlin.
Accompanying the first daughter of
the land was Miss Warder, and also
t vo maids.
The crowd fiocked towards the gates,
everybody impatient and eager to get
a view of the reception, and the Off
Gals in charge had great difficulty in
restraining the holder ones.
According to the announcement, thu
train was to arrive at gate No. II, but
it seems that p~recaution led the Off
Gals to quietly change this to No. 8.
When the party hove in sight, how
ever, many saw through this ruse, and
fastened toward the other gate.
Mr.. Catlin led the way, and acted as
a sort of bodyguard and advance court
er to make way for the guests, and the
surging of the multitude became so
strong that to reach the carriage the
party hurried through the Midway on
a little canter, and were hurriedly driv-
en- to the Catlin home on V~andeventer
place.
