CAR IN CONFERENCE
Brother Believed to Have
Brought important Mes
sage From Berlin.

st. Petersburg, June "a council
emperor in person was held at Tsars-
koe-Selo this afternoon to discuss the
situation with regard to present devel-
opments.
May Have Message.
His majesty's brother, Grand Duke
Michael. who arrived from Berlin, is
believed to be the bearer of a personal
message from Emperor William advis-
ing the conclusion of peace
Ambassador Meyer was in constant
communication with Washington this
morning. He received a long cipher
dispatch and soon after hurried 10 the
foreign office and had half hours
conversation with Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff concerning the information
transmitted TO him.
Washington May Give News.
Extreme reticence continues to be
manifested, but 1t is apparent the
great announcement for which the
world is waiting will not be made from
here or Toxic. but from Washington.
1t is not likely to be delayed beyond
Monday. at the latest. The outlook
continues favorable for peace.
Preparing the People.
St. Petersburg, June 9-The govern
ment is plainly preparing the public for
the announcement that the emperor
has decided to conclude peace, and that
negotiations have begun by permitting
the publication of all foreign dispatches
bearing on the subject.
Oynmn Called or.
In well informed circles it is believ-
ed Japan has instructed Oyama to stay
his hand pending the result of the
present negotiations and that Line
witch has also been confidently advised
of the situation.
Some sim Oppose.
Nevertheless. irreconciliabIe rem
nants of the war party are believed to
be urging the Russian commander-in-
chief to assume the offensive in hope
of achieving victory and thus change
the emperor's present disposition in
favor of the conclusion of hostilities.
IL such intrigue is in progress, it has
no chance of success.
Two Announcements to Make.
II can be assumed there will be no
further blOodshed in Manchuria until
the belligerents have decided whether
it is now possible to agree on peace
terms. The government is preparing
TO time the proclamation of a national
assembly with the announcement that
peace negotiations have begun.
Czar Heard From.
Washington, June 9.-The czar has
at last been heard from here and the
result is not unfavorabke 10 peace. In
his recent audience with American
Ambassador Meyer the Czar indicated
his Willingness to take under advise
ment the subject of peace and express
ed warm appreciation of the friendly
words of Meyer. speaking as personal
envoy to the president. The reception
of Meyer was characterized by the
greatest cordiality and friendliness and
the ambassadors cablegram to the
president giving a general account of
the audience was of a distinctly hope
full tone
Offer of Good WILL"
Meyer did not bring to the ST. Pc
tersburg government an offer of media
ton, but friendly offer of good will
as IL was described by Count Cassini.
which apparently was gratifying to the
czar. Further than this il is is impos-
sible TO record the character of the ca
blegram-
