that negotiations looking TO the declara-
ton of an armistice and the selection
OF peace commissioners are now fairly
under way
Both Governments Acquiescent.
The mere fact that President Roose-
welt permitted the publication of the
note addressed to the two belligerents
Is believed to be sufficient ground for
the conclusion that both governments
have int1mated their willingness to be-
gin negotiations looking to-a termi;ia-
ton of the war
In this connection the date OF the
Presidents note is significant 1t was
sent to ST. Petersburg and Tokyo on
Thursday night. after the President had
received a lengthy cablegram from Am
bassador Meyer at St. Petersburg. fol-
loving an audience by that diplomat
with the Gar
It is assumed that Mr. Meyer ac-
qCainteo the Czar with the President S
desire to send such a communication.
and received from the Car assurances
that the Russian government would not
look upon II in an unfrlendly spirit.
1t is also noted that the President s
communication was not sent TO Tokyo
until after thorough understanding
had been reached WITH the Japanese
minister here.
The suggestion in the note that the
negotiations might best be conducted
directly between the two warning gov
ernmentS, without the interference of an
intermediary, came from Japan This,
It may be stated with authority. is the
extent of the advances made officially
by the Japanese.
Informally, the japanese minister has
acquainted the President with the basis
upon which his government would be
willing TO conclude peace. AS vet he
has given him no authority to make the
conditions known TO the Russian gov
eminent.
Japan's Terms
Summarized briefly these are believed
to be-
The permanent cession Of Port Ar
thur and Sakhalin island:
The withdrawal forever OF Russian
troops from Manckuria:
Recognition of the independence of
Korea under Japanese protectorate;
Japanese control of the Manchurian
railway;
The surrender TO Japan of all Russian
vessels interned at neutral ports, ana,
The payment of an indemnity sufficient
to reimburse Japan for the expenses OF
her armies in the field.
The status of VladiVoStOk. the lirnita-
ton CT RuSSia'S naval force in the Orient
for a period of years. and other Qucs-
tionS bearing upon the future relations
of the two governments, will probably be
left for determination By the co.nni;S-

FAVORABLE REPLIES ON THEIR WAY.

Favorable replies from Japan and
Russia to the Presidents Identical note
are believed TO be on their way
This afternoon the formal replies of
Japan AMI Russia TO the President S
Identical note of June had not yet
been received here.
The general opinion here is that as
surances were given the President before
ne sent the note 10 ST. Petersburg and
Tokyo. that his suggestions would be
accepted
Armistice Looked For.
AS result of President Rooseveit's $
efforts in the direction of peace, backed
by the Influence of the powers of Eu-
rope, it is confidently expected here that
a suspension of hostilities between Rus
sia and Japan will be effected within a
few days.
The most likely course TO be pursued
is. first, for an armistice to be ar
ranged by the generals in the field upon
orders from Tokyo and st. Petersburg,
then the appointment OF commissioners
to conduct negotiations
One preliminary subject to be con-
sidered by the two governments will be,
as suggested by the President in his
identical note. tie selection of a time
and place for the meeting Of the COM
missioncrs.
While it IS considered quite probable =
that Washington may be chosen. 1t has
been intimated by the japanese legation
here that the field in Manchuria might
be more acceptable to the two govern
ments 1t is hardly possible that either
Tokyo or ST. Petersburg would be Sc
lected.
Praise From Takahira.
Kogoro Takahira, the Japanese min
lister, this morning expressed the firm
belief that his government would, with
out delay, accept the peace suggestions
made by President Roosevelt.
He referred to the Presidents note ii

transactions in the future

in that manner by the President will
be promptly accepted by Japan"

Japan has already taken that action.

FLORAL NOTES.
Plants Desired for Winter Blooming
Should Have Buds and Branches
Clipped in Summer.

Plants intended for winter bloom
ing should not be allowed to bear fiow-
ers during the summer. II allowed to
bloom during the summer. they will
be so exhausted by the seasons work
that it will take them all winter to re-
cuperate. Go over the plants you in
tend for the house, and cut away at
least half their branches-shorten
them to about half their present
length. They will then branch out
and become bushy and compact, with
many more branches on which to bear
flowers. If they are out in the Dor.
der, pot them not later than July, do
ing the work carefully so as not to
shock them too much by the trans.
planting. Let them take their own
time for getting established, giving
them good care meanwhile. When
they begin to grow freely, give them
moderate applications Of some good
fertilizer. but do not try to force them
by stimulants. Six or, seven-inch pots
large enough for even large plants. as
they should be rather restricted as to
root room, IL bloom is expected. II
buds form, remove them until. at the
least, September, but will be better
not to allow any buds to become fully
developed until December or January.
as it is in the latter part of the win
ter that their bloom will be the most
appreciated. This applies to gerani-
ums, principally, and II properly cared
for, there is no plant which gives such
universal satisfaction as the geranium.
The Commoner.
