81. Petersburg, June 21.-President
Roosevelt evidently has taken new
and important step in the negotiations
le,ween the beliggerents. While there
arc collateral reasons for believing that
ID relates 10 an armistice which will
prevent the impending battle in Man
churia. this cannot be positively af-
6rmed. All that can be stated def
rifely is that Ambassador Meyer went
suddenly TO the foreign office last night
and had an interview with Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff at which it is be-
|Teyed the ambassador communicated
an important message from President
Roosevelt, but at neither the foreign
|Ufice nor the American embassy is
the slightest light thrown on what
|,!anspired. From the extreme secrecy
observed. the matter beyond doubt is
one Of the greatest delicacy, but as
the statement is youchsafed at the
foreign office that the negotiations are
proceeding without a hitch, the in
ference follows that it relates to a
new Phase in which the president has
,e. = aiken the initiative. This is the
more certain since the communi-
cations between the beliggerents re-
a-ilS strictly TO the questions OF the
sele,, ion of place, time and the number
b. neHipotentiaries were conducted

troller's office and allow no one to

Worcester. Mass, June 21.-A steady
rain drenched the decorations of the
city and disappointed the people of
Worcester but detracted not at all
from the enthusiastic welcome given
the president upon the occasion Of
his visit to Clark University and the
Holy Cross College. The president
responded to the cordiality of the peo-
pie by riding through the streets In
an open carriage and much OF the
time with his head barred.
The president delivered addresses
at both Holy Cross and Clark colleges
ana the former institution conferred
upon him the honorary degree of
LII. d. He departed soon after lunch
for Williamstown where Williams col
lege conferred a degree.
A feature of the railroad trip to this
city was the sending of telegram by
the president to the captains Of the
Harvard and Yale crews at Gates's
Ferry, Conn, through which he passed
earlier in the day while asleep.
After the presidents departure the
police announced that while still In
the city they had arrested Jennie
Hirsch, a resident of this city, in the
womens waiting room of the union
railroad station. Miss Hirsch, who is
about % years OLD, had been writing
bits OF verse upon the top of a band
box which she declared were to be
given the president. She insisted that
some person telephone Holy Cross
college and inform Father Hanseiman
president of the college, that "a poetess
was waiting for President Roosevelt.

the police station and afterwards she
was taken home in carriage, her
