NO HOPE FOR PEACE
EVENTS INDICATE THAT EFFORTS
TO END FAR EASTERN WAR
HAVE FAILED.

st. Petersburg, April 5.-The an
nouncement that President Roosevelt
has left Washington on vacation
trip is accepted here as evidence that
the efforts to draw Russia and Japan
into peace negotiations have come to
grief for the moment. No definite
explanation of exactly what happened
is forthcoming, but the general i'm
preston is that Japan either declined
to treat upon the Russian basis or
demanded direct avowal that there
was pacific disposition. At any
rate the advocates of continuation
of the war seem secure of their posi-
ton and everything indicates that the
hope of an immediate change of for
tune is staked on Vice Admiral Ro-
jestvensky,s whose squadron, accord
ing to the best information, is now
actually on its way to meet the Japa-
nese. The admiralty is greatly en-
couraged by the prospects that Ro-
jestyensky will be able to defeat Ad-
miral Togo, owing to the splendid re-
ports which have just arrived here
from Rojestvensky.

ON THE WAY TO TEXAS.
President Roosevelt's Train Leaves
ST. Louis on Leng Journey.


st. Louis, April 5.-The special
train bearing President Roosevelt and
party pulled into East st. Louis, ILL.,,
on time at p. n. The train passed
through the eastern outskirts to Madi-
son, three miles north.
At Madison a throng was congre-
gated and wildly cheered as the train
rounded the bend at the approach of
Merchants bridge across the Missis-
sippi. Without pause the train slow
ly and cautiously proceeded across
the bridge to the North Market street
station, where crowd cheered the
president, but he did not appear. At
$3.50 the presidents train plunged
into its long run to Texas, with
pilot engine running five minutes
ahead The first stop will be made
at Vinita, |. T.
From Louisville to ST. Louis. Presi-
dent Roosevelt took more than pass
ing interest in Indiana and Illinois,
the two states through which his spe-
cial train passed. He discussed with
his guests the relative merits OF the
states from an agricultural point of
view and the warmth of the people
as displayed at the various places the
special stopped or hesitated.
At dozen or more towns, the train
slowed down and at most of these
great crowds were at the depot cheer
ing as long as the train was in sight.
He made three speeches en- route.
They were at Midtown, Ind, Hunt
ingburg, Ind, and Mount Vernon. Ill.

ASKS STAY 9oF SENTENCE.
Mrs. chadwick's Counsel Appeals to
Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.

UoSidt SHSoit WITT W EPFSS'S' =
Cincinnati, April 5.-Judge Francis
]. Wing, counsel for Mrs. Cassie L..
Chadwick of Cleveland, appeared be-
fore Judges Lurton, Severance and
Richards in the United States circuit
court of appeals in this city during
the day and moved that her sentence
be stayed until the United States cir
cult court of appeals shall have heard
her appeal or until final judgment be
rendered in the court of last resort.
United States District Attorney John
j. Sullivan, also of Cleveland, was
present during the hearing OF the mo-
ton as the representative of the gov
eminent. After hearing the motion
Presiding Judge Lurton announced
that the court will take the matter
under consideration and will render
an opinion during the morning.
Mrs. Chadwick's attorney, Ex-Judge
Wing, maintains that his filing of the
writ of error suspends the sentence
already imposed without the formality
of asking suspension. If the judges
of the court of appeals decide that
the filing of the writ of error in itself
acts as a suspension of the sentence
Mrs. Chadwick may be permitted to
remain in the jail at Cleveland until
Judgment is passed upon her by the
court of last resort, to which her case
may be carried.

THlRTy-sEvEN BODIES FOUND.
Believed That More Are Still in Lei.
ter Mine at Zeigler, III.

Carbonate, H.. April 5.-Thirty-
lives in the gas explosion at the mine
of Joseph Letter at Zeigler Monday,
have been recovered and it is sup
posed several more bodies are in the
mine. The exact number of dead will
probably not be known for several
days, at least not until the mine has
been Invested of the gas and persons
permitted to enter. Among the dead
Is William Scott Atkinson, state mine
examiner for the Seventh subdistrict,
who lost his life in an attempt to per-
form his duties as mine inspector, and
who died while trying to reach the
bodies OF those who were entombed.
After thirty hours but little light is
shed on the cause of the catastrophe.
The accident is attributed to carbonic
acid gas due to poor ventilation.
Every body so far recovered is
blackened mass. State Inspector Al
kinson was one of the best known
miners of the district. He was the
father of four children and was
member of the Masonic fraternity.
All the mines in the Seventh subdis-
Friday next, the day of his funeral,
and special trains have been ordered
so that the 10000 miners can attend
the funeral.
Joseph Letter arrived at the shaft
during the day. The coroner's jury
empaneled to inquire into the cause
of the disaster has so far rendered no
verdict The taking of evidence may
be prolonged several days.
