WHEN THE PEACE ENJOYS MEET.
President Expected to Return 10 Wash.
Ing ton for the First session.

WASHINGTON. July ct is the official
opinion that the peace plenipotentiaries
ganize in this city for business during the
first week in August. 1t is assumed that
the President will come over to Washington
for the first meeting. After effecting an
organization here the plenipotentiaries
will probably embark for some point on
the North Atlantic coast to be suggested
by the President to hold their sessions dur
ing the hot weather.
No one familiar with such proceedings
and knowing the peculiar situation pre-
sented between Russia and Japan predicts
an agreement earlier than October,
1t Is altogether probable that at the first
meeting in Washington the Senate reading
room in the Congressional Library will! he
placed at the disposal Of the plenipoten-
uaries.
