France Workinn for Peace.

Paris, June Sit is definitely known
that Count Lamsdorff, Russian foreign
minister, second by M. Witte, chairman
of the committee of ministers, has
initiated overtures through the Rus
sian representatives abroad to learn
Japan's disposition and terms of peace
These overtures, it is said here, be-
gun three days ago and were the basis
of the decidedly more hopeful view
which the officials began to have. At
the same time it was then and still
is recognized that Count Lamsdorff
and NJ Witte represent the peace ele-
ment and it Is not yet clear how far
the movement is shared by the empe-
ror. However, Count Lamsdorff's po-
sition gives the overtures the force
of coming from responsible quarters,
whereas the previous movements
lacked official origin. This clears the
way for conversations between officials
and diplomats here and at other cap
itals which are now actively going on.
These necessarily. are circuitous, ow-
ing to Russia's inability to approach
Japan directly.

Rusa paners Are for Peace.

st. Petersburg, June S.-There is a.
significant change in tone on the part
of some Russian newspapers like the
Novoe Vremya, which never hereto
fore, have been admitted the possibili-
ty of the conclusion of hostilities until
Russia had recovered her military
prestige by victory. Today the pa
pers discuss calmly the advisability of
ending the war if Japan's terms are
reasonable. The payment of big in
demnity, they declare, would be too
humiliating. The Novoe Vremya says
bluntly that If Japan asks too much,
it will pay Russia to prolong the CON
test indefinitely; while the Russ
argues that if representatives of the
Russian people are called togethed ia

GRAND RIVER STEADILY RISING.
Many Residences in Grand Rapids,
Mich, Surrounded by Water.

Grand Rapids, Mich, June 8.-The
Grand river is still steadily rising
here. The only encouraging news
comes from up-river points, where the
water is reported to be stationary or
falling. The water here has now gone
over Front street south of Bridge
street. Many residents in the south
en- are completely surrounded by deep
and swipt currents. Workmen are
struggling frantically to keep the north
end dyke from going to pieces, and it
seems to be about an even chance
whether they will succeed.
A special to the evening press says
that communications have been par
TALLY re-established with Whitehall,
which has been isEoated for sixty
hours. The conditions on White river
above the town are worse than had
been expected the damage to crops,
bridges and dams, will reach hundreds
of thousands. Three large dams at
White Cloud, Hesperia and Ferry were
washed completely away.

NO SIGN OF PEACE
IN CHICAGO STRIKE
All Negotiations Declared OFF

OWNERS WANT MATTERS FORCED
However, Some Still Hope for a Set
acknowledgements of 5000 Truck
Teamsters Being Called Out Places
Gloomy Aspect on Affairs.

Chicago, June 8.-Peace in the team
sters strike seemed today to be as far
away as ever. Settlement with the
express companies and a demand by
unions that the police be withdrawn
from wagons with the calling off of the
strike were apparently in superable OBJ
stacles to an adjustment. President
Cornelius P. Shea, of the teamsters'
union, took an active part in the latest
conference with the employers, al
though he was responsible for block
ing peace negotiations several days
ago, after he had been left out of a
meeting between a committee from the
new conference if the employers had
agreed to the demand of the union Off
cials.
The employers attorney, Levy May
er, also should keep away. This de-
mand was refused promptly and Shea
then was called in. He made a yo-
ciferous fight against altering the prop
ositions of the teamsters to suit the de-
mands of the employers.
With peace efforts again coming to
naught, the prospective spread of the
strike to the 5000 truck teamsters en-
ployed by the members of the team
owners association was today again
vital issue. Many of the owners
were in favor of forcing matters to
the drivers, but it was generally hoped
that the neutral element in the associ-
alton would make a hard fight to keep
from becoming involved in the strike.

Russians Are Now Ready For

ROOSEVELT MAY BE MEDIATOR
France and Germany Are Assisting
United States in Trying to Bring
About a Termination of Hostilities
Between Japan and Russia.

st. Petersburg, June S.-President
Roosevelt striving with excellent pros
poets of success to end the bloody war
is now the central figure of the worlds
stage.
One of the principal features, it
seems will be overcome, once Japan
and Russia have agreed to accept his
good offices for the arrangement of the
preliminaries. The belligerents are ex-
pected to be able to arrange the peace
terms direct The president is be-
lieved vita Emperor William, in the
view that the belligerents should be
allowed to settle the actual terms
without outside interference.
Evidence also exists that President
Roosevelt has shared to support o.
several continental powers and that in
the proper time they will appear at
his back.
Exactly what is transpiring at Wash
ington is being carefully guarded. The
diplomats here are still greatly at sea,
not being able to do more than ven
ture a shrewd guess and indulge i'll
speculation.
The interest with whicn the moves
on the Washington chess board are
being followed is evidenced by the
manner in which the ambassadors and
ministers who learned of Ambassador
Meyers audience of Emperor Nichol-
as yesterday fiocked to the American
embassy today in search of informa-
ton. But the situation seems to be
SO delicate that the ambassador is
compelled to display the most COM
plete reserve. If Japan proves mod
crate in her demands, peace seems at
last to be close at hand An armistice
probably will be the first evidence
the world will have that the two pow
ers have agreed to shake hands.
