Representatives of the Hartman
lines and of the Rio Grande system
met at the Commercial club yesterday
TO confer with the promoters OF the
See America First" conference. The
conference viii be held in Salt Lake
on Jan. %.
1t was decided that no excursion
rates would be granted. Before such
rates could be made they would have
20 receive the sanction of the West
ern Passenger association which viii
meet in Los Angeles, Cal. Jan. 10.
just one week before the See America
First conference. Even should the
association sanction excursion rates,
sufficient times would not Femain 10
advertise such rates.
Moreover, the promoters of the con-
ference favor holding q small. compact
and enthusiastic convention rather
than a large and unwieldy one. They
were not particularly anxious that eS-
cursion rates should be granted.
Basis of Representation.
The basis of representation to the
conference has been fixed as follows
Every governor of a state or terri
tory is entitled to attend the conVen-
ton as an eX-officio member. or. II
unable at attend himself. may name
a personal representative. Each mayoS
of u first class city is also an ex-ofiicio
delegate to the conference. Each state
is entitled TO two delegates at large.
10 be appointed by the governor, and
every steamship or railroad line is en-
titled TO one delegate.
Governor Albert r. Mead Of Wash
ington wired TO Fisher Harris. man
ager of the Commercial club, yester-
day, that he wanted TO appoint more
than two delegates. He said that he
understood Governor Chamberlain of
Oregon intended to appoint i've dele
gates, and he wished to appoint the
same number. Mr.. Harris wired back
that each governor was entitled to
name but two.
The railroad men who attended the
conference yesterday were d. L. Bur
ley and Daniel ). Spencer, respectively
general passenger agent and assistant
general passenger agent OF the Oregon
Short Line; d. r. Gray. representing
the Southern Pacific, and l. y Ben
ton. general agent of the Rio Grande

Bowen-Loomis Case Continued by
 Taft at Capital.
 WASHINGTON, June 10. - In the presence of Assistant Secretary oi State Loomis and Minister Bowen Sec retary Taft heard a statement from w w. Russell, the American minister. who has been transferred from Bogota to Caracas and who was secretary ot legation under Mr. Loomis when the latter was minister to Venezuela.
 The inquiry concerned chiefly the Mercador claim and Mr. Loomis' con nection with it. The testimony of Mir. Russell was not of a sensational char. acter. Its effect on the case cannot be learned at the war department.
 Secretary Taft has not yet acted on this request and probably will await the arrival of Mir. Unwin from New York, fo lerly connected with an asphalt concern in Caracas, who will be queried regarding the check which is said to have been exchanged between Mir. Loomis and the asphalt company.
 At the session Mir. Bowen asked Mir. Russell if the latter had not said to him on one occasion. "I do all the work and Loomis gets all the money"
 Mir. Russell replied that he did not think he ever said that. though he might have said he did all the work and they" referring to the syndicate. got all the profits.

 Today about 8 o'clock the proofs of this paper arrived from the printers. The exercise consists of half a chapter of Thucydides. I had to read it over carefully, as the text must be abso- lutely correct.

 It is said that Japan has already int, structed Field Marshal Oyama to stay| his hand pending the result of the pres~| ent tentative negotiations and that General Linevitck has also been confl.| dentially advised of the situation, sol that there will be no further bloodshed in Manchuria until the belligerents have decided whether 1t is now possis ble to agree on peace terms.
 President Roosevelt, who has taken the lead in the negotiations, has been accorded the cordial support of the great continental powers, including Russia's nearest friend, France. The direct representation made through Ambassador Meyer at St. Petersburg to the czar were received by Emperor Nicholas in most friendly spirit. To- kyo responded in an equally amicabla way. So near are the two warning powers to amicable contact at this mos ment that in all Washington circles, official and diplomatic, mere hopeful- ness has given way to well grounded certainty.
 It is not unlikely that within twenty. four hours definite statement of the situation may be issued from St. Pes tersburg. Tokyo or Washington which will throw clear light upon if.

J.p.n... Student. a.a Athletics.

A British journal says that Japanese students and schoolboys twenty years ago had no appreciation of athletics. They took too serious a view of their duties to waste on games she time that might be devoted to studies. and they had to be driven by their early English professors and teacher Into the pIaygrounds as though to . disa- greeble task. Now they take . keen interest in rowing. lawn tennis and baseball. though cricket. with its long periods of enforced inactivity. does not appeal to them. They have acquired 90 much proficiency in the American ua- tional game that q team of players from the waseda university of Tokyo recently Isft Japan. taking the long voyage acroes the Pacific for the pur pose of trying conclusions with the champion teams of the American uni versities- We may yet see an eight from Tokyo competing st Heniey.

 "The president accordingly urges the Russian and Japanese governments, not only for their own sakes, but in the interest of the whole civilized world, to open direct negotiations for peace with one another.
 ",The president suggests that these peace negotiations be conducted di- rectly and exclusively between the bell ligerents-in other words, that there may be a meeting of Russian and Japanese plenipotentiaries or delegates without any intermediary, in order to see if it is not possible for these repre- sentatives of the two powers to agree to terms of peace.
 If these preliminaries can be ar ranged directly between the two pow CTS or in any other way the president will be glad. as his sole purpose is to bring about a meeting which the whole civilized world will pray may result in peace"
 When the president left Washington for Rapidan on two days trip to Vir- ginia he was confident that the result of the international negotiations for peace In the far east had been success full and that the final blow in the Rus so-Japanese war had been struck.
