THE CAR IS GIVEN A LESSON
Japanese Are Taking Nothing For Granted in the
Peace Game--.They Are From Missouri
and Must Be Shown.

Washington, d. c., June 12.-Japan
is no less strong in diplomacy than she
is in war. The czar got his first lesson
in diplomatic etiquette today. He was
given to understand that if he is to
play the peace game successfully he
riust be governed by the rules.
The mikado, each time he places
himself on record, will insist that the
car does likewise.
The japanese are to take nothing for
granted in the present negotiations for
a settlement of the war in the Orient.
This decision was made tonight, when
il was announced that the japanese
formal note of acceptance of the Pres
ident's peace proposition will not be
made public until Russia's answer in
writing is in possession of the Presi-
dent
Two acceptances from Russia have
been received. One came Saturday af-
ternoon from Ambassador Meyer at St.
Petersburg. The other was delivered
in person today by the Russian am
bassador. Count Cassini. The former
was a paraphrase. The latter was a
verbal acceptance.
A question arose as to the propriety
of making the Japanese reply public,
but Minister Takahira soon determined
the matter. II q conference with the
President this afternoon, at which
time he was informed of the receipt of
Russia's note, he is understood to have
objected to the publication of his gov
ernment's response until the czar's
communication could accompany it.
1t is further understood that upon his
request the President will not forward
a copy of Japans reply to the car un-
til the exchanges can be made coinci-
dent.
Japan does not purpose overlooking
point. Having had years of unsatis-
factory diplomatic negotiations with
it's enemy, and understanding its devi-
Gus methods, it means not to show its

send, sitting in the United States cir
cult court of appeals The decision

unal other than the federal court has
legal authority to appoint a receiver

SENSATION
Caused by Resignation Of salineviiIe
Bank President.

Salineville, June 1.-THE resignation
of James II. Dodds, president of the
Peoples Bank, caused sensation on
Monday morning when il was an
nounced on the streets of the village.
1t developed that the resignation had
been in for several days, but the bank
directors were keeping il in the dark
while an attempt to have him recon-
slider would be made. The trouble or
iginated because Mr.. Dodds would not
submit to the dictation of several Of
the directors of the institution upon
the question Of local option in the vii
lage. Mr.. Dodds is proprietor of the
local weekly paper, and during the wet
and dry campaign last fall sold space
to the vets, which angered the dry
element. The directors and others in
terested in the local option said that
the presidents attitude was injuring
the institution, so he forthwith re-
signed.

CHARRED REMAINS
OF His Wife Met Husbands Horrified
Gaze.

Des Moines, Ia, June 12.-The
charred remains of Sarah Shrock. wife
of William Shrock, wealthy Black
Hawk county farmer, were discovered
today in coal shed in the rear of the
house. The remains were found by the
husband, who swooned at the horrible
sight. In this condition he was found
by his father-in-law, who aroused the
neighbors. 1t was soon discovered that
the remains had been saturated with
kerosene before firing, and there were
evidences of a struggle having taken
place. The theory tonight is that the
" oman was assaulted and that the per-
petrators thereof took this dlabolical
means of covering up the evidences of
their crime The tragedy occurred in
the midst of Dunkard settlement
noted for its peaceable character A
peace officer has not been elected in
years, and 1t was some time before the
county sheriff could be summoned. AS
to who committed the crime, the COM
nunity is entirely mystifled.

RUSSIANS GRATEFUL
TO THE PRESIDENT
FOR , HIS INTERVENTION TO
BRING PEACE.
Clear and Hopeful Statement of the
Situation as Seen by Count
HAYDEN.

Chicago June IA special cable
gram to the Daily News from st. Pet
eIsburg says: With the exception of
the dwindling crowd that follows the
lead of Mouverine, editor of the Novoe
Vremya, Russians are grateful for Pres
ident Roosevelt's intervention. Count
Hayden, the statesman and diplomat
who is slated as chairman as the Zem-
sky Zobor confirming Prince Dolgor-
Cukoff's recent statement that peace is
at hand said today: Peace is def
Eitely within sight. History furnishes
no precedent for resumption of hostil-
ities after a preliminary meeting to
arrange terms had been practically
agreed upon. President Roosevelt
sounded both belligerents and chose
the right time for approaching Russia's
Chiyalric and victorious foe
In making terms it must be remem-
bered that our territory has not been
invaded and that our army has been
reinforced. The czar has consented
10 peace because he is unwilling to
intrust such delicate negotiations to an
inexperienced and hurriedly selected
national assembly or to face the diff
culties of interior war in addition to
the Manchurian campaign. M. Del
casse's resignation has deprived Russia
of Frances support. President Rouvier
has already threatened to throw out
our securities. The kaiser was anxious
10 dispose of the Balkan question and
eliminate Russia's historical and racial
interests there. England has grabbed
Thibet and Persia, the gates of our
middle Asia possessions. All this, with
the insubordinatfon in the army and
the increasing internal riots, has
turned the czar's mind toward peace
Russia can easily stand an indem-
nifty of billion rubles $500, 900, ,OOO3
another million will be needed for
army and navy reconstruction. One
hunder million rubles ($50.000,0O0)
yearly will save the government from
stopping railroad construction and
encourage private building OF lines.
Restitution of Sakhalien island to
the Japanese and the keeping of no
fleet at Vladivastok will matter little.
Sakhalein is an Improbable posses
sion and the feet does not exist. We
will only insist on the retention of
Harbin, otherwise Siberia would be
useless. am certain that Russia will
soon recover from this shock. America
has brought us peace and American
capitol and industry will bring us
prosperity"

TOO DECISIVE
For Good of China Is Japan's Vic
tory, Says Denby.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 12.-Charles
DENLY of Evansville, Ind, who is for
eign adviser to the Chinese govern
n,ent, said in an interview here this
evening: while the sympathies of the
Chinese are avowedly with Japan" he
said, naturally the Chinese would pre-
fer that neither power gain such de-
cisive victory as Japan has gained.
They would naturally prefer that the
parties to the contest be more evenly
matched, so that the war should be ex-
haustive and neither party should be
strong at the close of the war"
According to Mr.. DENLY, If Japan
and Russia had exhausted each other
in the war, the position of China in the
Orient would have been stronger.
Il see by the papers," remarked Mr..
DENLY, that Japan may demand pro-
tectorate over Manchuria. One can
predict where that would end. with
powerful nation like the japanese"

at the White House for some time to-
night. He refused to say anything re-

Count Cassini called at the Presidents

In all probability Count Cassini will
notify his government of the new point
raised, and the communication sub
mitted to the President by word of

presented in writing. The President
this afternoon desired to give out the
Japanese reply, and the substance of
the Russian verbal communication.
Minister Takahira objected, saying the
Russian reply must be written and not
a mere verbal announcement. He
asked that the japanese reply be held
until It could be given out in connec-
