DATE or PEACE CONF FERENCE
JAPAN's SUGGESTION TO MEET
ON AUG. 1 SATISFACTORY
TO RUSSIA.

st. Petersburg, June 21.-Russia,
the Associated Press is officially in.
formed, finds no objection to Aug. l,
as suggested by Japan, for the date of
the meeting of the plenlpotentiaries
and instructions will be sent to Am
bassador Cassini to acceptit it.
In spite of the dispatches from
Washington indicating the possibility
that Count Cassini and Minister Taxa
hira may sign a temporary armistice
before the end of the week the foreign
Office declares positively that there
have been no official exchanges on the
subject. Indeed, according to the view
expressed by the foreign Offices rec.
ognized mouthpiece, there is not much
expectation that suspension of hos.
tilities can be arranged. At the same
time it is readily agreed that the pros
poets of peace might be advanced if a
battle could be avoided pending the
meeting.
According to reports current in this
city some preliminaries looking to an
armistice have already taken place
between General Linevitch and Field
Marshal Oyama, but the war Office
offers no confirmation of this. On the
contrary the news from the front, al
though meager, all seems to indicate
that the Japanese advance has already
begun.

SEARCHING FOR TREASURE.

den Fortune.
Des Moines, June 21--John Nelson,
an aged recluse of Munterville, a
small town near Ottumwa, was found
dead Monday and since then about 200
neighbors have been busily digging
up his tWo-acre farm in search Of a
fortune that he is said to have buried.
Nelson was a prominent ieweler at
Rockford, H., for years. He became
slightly demented and sold his store
and large amount of property and
came to Munteryille, where he has
since lived. No one knows what he
did with his money, but occasionally
he had been heard to talk of gold and
jewels Of much value. When he paid
his taxes it was always with musty
gold pieces. He left no heirs and the
neighbors believe that whoever finds
the money and jewels is entitled to
them.

purpose of the return OF Chief Engi-

Importance and that he would explain
clearly when he arrived in Washing

REFUSES TO BACK DOWN,
Norwegian Storthing Replies to Letter
of King Oscar.

Christiania, Norway, June 81 The
address to King Oscar and the riks-
dag, adopted by the storthing in reply
to the long letter which the king sent
June 13 to the president of the stor-
thing, NJ Berner, is of a eonciliatory
character. At the same time, however,
it indicates the unalterable deternlina-
tion of the storthing to adhere to the
action taken in dissolying the union
with Sweden.

GENERAL ENGAGEMENT SEEMS I
PROBABLE BEFORE PEACE
NEGOTIATIONS BEGIN.
0YAhA's STRATEGIC POSITION STRONG
JAPANESE OPPOSED TO susPEN-
SION or HosTILITlEs AT
THE PRESENT TIME.

st. Petersburg, June 21.-The only
hope for an armistice pending the
meeting Of the peace plenipo potentiaries
seems to rest with President Roose-
velt and even that is considered slen-
der. So far as known the president
has not taken positive step in this
direction. The impression here con-
tinues strong that Japan only with
great reluctance could be induced to
forego the advantages. OF her strategic
position which, despite the tone Of the
official adYices from the front, are re-
gAeed as being altogether favorable
to Field Marshal Oyama, and agree to
a suspension of hostilities for at least
six weeks. during which time thou
sands of reinforcements would reach
General Linevitch and Vladivostok
and supplies to Withstand siege. In
deed, it is suggested that Japan delib-
erately planned to postpone the meet
ing long enough to give Oyama a
chance to administer to the Russians
a fresh defeat on land in order to rob
the war party in Russia of their last
card and facilitate acquiescence to her
terms Considering the situation,
therefore, President Rooseyelt's tri-
umph will be all the greater If he
could now succeed in crowning his
work by an agreement which would at
least prevent another bloody battle
pending the show of hands at Wash
ington. At the British. embassy the
Associated Press was informed that
Great Britain had not offered Japan
any advice on the subject.

MOROCCO SENDS INVITATION.
United States Asked to Participate In
Proposed Conference.

f~EOHOSGO AOJlISESI1CGsa
Washington, June 21.-The state de.
partment has received dispatch from
Mr.. Gummere, minister to Morocco,
transmitting request from the gov
ernment of Morocco that the United
States participate in conference on
the affairs of that country. The re-
quest is similar to that which has been
sent to other governments
The reply of the United States was
discussed at the cabinet meeting, but
no decision was reached because the
United States first desires to know
the scope and purpose of the confer
ence. Other governments have re-
piled in substance that if all the great
powers participated they would also
accept.
The interests of the United States
are only commercial, it is said, while
those of Germany and France are po-
litical. Consequently the United States
does not have such interest in the con-
ference as the governments of Eu-
rope

First Bulloch In America.

James Bulloch made his home first
in Colleton county, s. c., and was one
of the early justices OF the peace of the
Kings court in that county. It was
while he was in South Carolina that
he was appointed a special agent to
the Creek Indians. Removing to Geor-
gia In 1873, he became a justice OF the
peace in Christ Church Parish. AS
man of experience and public service
Mr.. Bulloch was chosen member of
the provincial congress in 1775. and was
elected secretary Of that body.
The descendants OF this sturdy old
Scotchman have made themselves
known in the professions. in arms on
land and sea, in business, and in the
world Of politics. His son. Archibald
Bunoch. although q speaker of the
Roya. Assembly in IT'S, remained true
TO the colonies and was twice elected
president OF the provincial congress and
was sent as delegate to the CONT
mental Congresses Of ITS and 1776. He

by the other side that it was the young

that one sister married Sir William
