RUSs0-JAPANEsE WAR.


Names of peace plenipotentiaries
have been made public in Washington,
the car selecting Nelidoff and Rosen
and the mikado Komura and Takahira.
The Russian foreign Office issued a
communication confirming the state
ment that Russia has accepted the first
ten days in August as the time within
which the first meeting of the peace
p}enipotentiaries will take place. 49,.
president Roosevelt has learned
through diplomatic 'feelers'' here and
in st. Petersburg that Russia will not
now ask an armistice. Russia's disin-
clination to take the first step renders it
impossible that an armistice will be
concluded before the peace ENJOYS meet
in Washington.
A report received from Gen. Line
witch indicates that the Japanese adj
vance continues steadily, and that the
Russian van posts, under pressure, are
retiring fighting.
China, it is reported, desires to be
represented at the Russo-Japanese
peace conference. ~

country are seeking to outbid Wash
