1 Fears Russian Army May Operate
In Indis.

St. Petersburg, June 20.-Russia, the
Associated Press is officially Informed,
finds no objection to August l, as
suggested by Japan, for the date for
the meeting of the plenipotentiaries
and instructions will be sent Ambassa-
dor Cassini to accept it. In spite OF
the dispatches from Washington indi-
eating a possibility that Cassini and
Minister Takahira may sign tempor-
ary arnlistice before the end of the
week, the foreign office declares pos
itively there has been no official ex-
change on the subject. Indeed, accord
ing to the view expressed by the for
eign Offices recognized mouthpiece,
there is not much expectation that
suspension Of hostilities can be ar
ranged.
AT the same time 1t is readily agreed
that prospects of peace might be ad-
vanced If battle should be avoided
pending the meetings. According to
reports current in this city some pre-
liminaries looking to an armistice have
already taken place between Linevitch
and Oyama, but the war office offers
no confirmation of this. On the con-
trary, the news from the. 'front.' all
though meager, all seem to indicate
the Japanese advance has already be-
gun.
st. Petersburg, June 20.-The only
hope for an armistice pending a meet
dng Of the peace plenipotentiaries
seems to rest with President Roose-
welt and even that is considered slen-
der. So far as known the president
has not taken positive steps in this
direction. The impression here con-
&inues strong that Jap-n only with
great reluctance could be induced to
forego the advantages of her STRAIT
egic position, which,, despite the tone
of Official advices from the front, is
regarded as being altogether favor
able to Oyama, and agree to q sus-
pension of hostilities for at least SIX
weeks during which time thousands
of reinforcements would reach Line
witch and vladivostok would be
strengthened with munitions and sup
plies to Withstand a siege. Indeed 1t
as suggested Japan deliberately plan
ned to postpone the meeting long
enough to give Oyama a chance to
administer to the Russians a fresh de-
feat on land in order to rob the war
party in Russia of their last card and
facilitate acauiescence to her terms.
considering the situation, therefore,
Roosevet's triumph will be all the
greater if he could now succeed in
.crowning his work by an agreement
which would at least prevent another
hloody battle pending a show OF
hands at Washington. At the British
embassy the Associated Press was IN
formed Great Britain had not offered
Japan any advice on the subjecI

Great Interest Taken in Swesen Re-
garding the Proceedings.
Stockholm, June 2O.-The sessions
of both chambers of the riksdag open
ed today. There was no undue ex-
element; but large crowds gathered
in front of parliament building and
showed the keen public interest taken
in the outcome of the session.
In the lower house the president of
the swarthing made speech during
which he said the hope of Sweden in
regard to the union had vanished and
Norway's negation of the union had
been accomplished in such a manner
that it would be very difficult to make
any attempts to reopen negotiations.
The president was sure the members
realized fully their responsibility to-
wards the nation and the future He
hoped, however. that the result of the
proceedings of the present riksdag
would record the honest desires of
Sweden.
