COUNT LAMSDOI;FF I'LL
Peace NegOtiati ms Have Been SHs
pended Temporarily.

Washington. June 2A.-Peace nego-
tiations between Russia and Japan
have come to a dead halt, on account
of illness of Count Lamsdorff. the Rus
sian minister for foreign affairs. 1t
is explained officially. that nothing
in the form Of hitch has occurred.
but that, the negotiations merely have
been suspended temporarily.
Count Cassini, the Russian @ambas-
sador had brief interview with
President Roosevelt today. but he had
no additional important advices from
his government to communicate. They
discussed informally the peace sftua-
ton. the President EXPRESSING his
earnest hope that another general Ell
gagement in Manchuria might be
a,arted by the negotiations for per-
.nanent peace now pending.
1t is learned that UP to this time
suggestions for an armistice have not
been received with absolute favor by
either Russia or JaIan. in diplomatic
circles Russia's delay in announcing
her peace plenipotentiaries has arous-
ed a feeling of apprehension. There
is no lack of confidence on the part
Of the President iii Russia's sincerity,
but this delay in the preliminary nego-
ti1tiens. it is realized. may have an
exceedingly bad effect upon public
opinion in JaCan.

reached the top OF the stairway, Rog-

Rogers was committed to Jail without

ing Tuesday.
Jennie Mays, demi-mondainer, at
whose house Bernard and Dockery took
the Rogers and Howard girls, has
made a statement. this being that
they were there twice together, she not
knowing the girls. but thinking they
belonged to a theatrical company then
playing here. The girls went there a
few days ago unaccompanied and tcen
told the Mays woman who they wera
and said they feared they would be
driven from home. The woman said
she advised them to make a clean
breast of the matter to their parents
iand they told her of their fall from
Virtue. She said that when they were
at her house with Bernard and Dock
cry all four seemed in high spirits,
and that the girls showed no unwll-

said no intoxicants were served.
At 10:30 tonight Dockery's physician
said his condition was the same as at
noon. He has been conscious all the
while. One bullet went through the
lung. He coughed up coniderable
blood. 1t was thought at first that the
intestines were pierced, but this now
appears less probable.

DEAD MAY REACH HUNDREDS
Disorders at Lodz Amounted to Ac-
tual IDsurrecsion-Troops Desper-
atcly Opposed by 10000 Working
men.


st. Petersburg, June 25.-3:20 a. H.
st. Petersburg Is without definite news
of the happenings on Friday and last
night at Lodz, and there Is the keen
est apprehension that Saturday may
have been marked by renewal Of tie
battle of Friday the dead of which are
apparently to be numbered by hun
dreds.
Nothing approaching the disorders.
which passed far beyond the scale uf
recent demonstrations and approximaS-
ed the dignity OF actual insurreotion,
recalling the days of the Commune in
Paris, has been recorded in Russia
since the street fighting at Warsaw
during the Polish revolutions of 1880
and 1863. The events Of January u
in st. Petersburg, red Sunday" were
merely the dispersal of unarTed
crowds by soldiers, but at Lodz the
troops were desperately opposed by an
army of sixty thousand workingmcn,
many armed with revolvers, defending
substantial barricades with bullets and
showers of paving stones and other
missiles and even bombs.
The industrials were apparently
largely in the hands of the manifes-
tants and the task of the troops was
akin to that of the Russian soldiers In
the war in Turkestan, when towns had
to be stormed, street by street, almost
house to house.
The demolition of the barricades at
Lodz required regular sapper work, un-
der the fire of revolvers and showers
of missiles from windows of house,
and by which the troop suffered heav-
lily. The military governor had at his
disposal four regiments of infantry and
two Of cavalry. The last barricades
were taken at four o'clock Saturday
morning A dispatch received by way
of Warsaw estimates the number OF
slain Indefinitely at several hundred
workmen," and sixty soldiers; but no
definite statement has yet been re-
ceived, another dispatch direct froLl
Lodz giving forty dead being admit
tedly incomplete.

low the affair with keen interest, but

time since the Fashoda incident, the
French public is in the throes OF the
war fever. Whether it will result in
anything serious depends on Germany's
response to the French note on Mo-
rocco, but without considering exact
status of the diplomatic negotiations
a considerable element of the public
press seriously discuss the possibili.ie
Of resort to arms.
ARMY CIRCLES ACTIVE.
Army circles are particularly active
and at military clubs the officers are
mainly engaged in making comparisons
OF the forces of France and Germany.
While the financial leaders scout the
idea OF war, yet the speculative element
mas been quick 10 seize the opportuni-
ty to raid French rentes, which when
they closed tonight showed fall of one
franc, eight centimes, within the week
The official view is that the situation
while delicate, does not present any
aspect of danger or a crisis involving
a rupture of relations.
1t is pointed out in diplomatic quar-
ters that the worst aspect of the Moroc-
can question does not present Causus
Belli. An analysis of the controversy
shows that the sultan of Morocco invit-
ed the powers to a conference. Ger
many urges the powers, including
France, to accept. Premier Rouvier's
latest note shows the willingness Of
France to consider a conference, il
Germany explains her purposes, but
even should France decline to accept
this refusal of the invitation does not
constitute cause for war.
FRENCH READY TO MEET ANY
EMERGENCY.
The controversy serves to call atten-
ton to the complete state of readiness
of the French military system to meet
any emergency. The present peace
footing of the army is $50, 900 men, This
force is organized on an elastic basis,
whereby the doubling and tripling of
the strength of each company doubles
and triples the aggregate army. The
first and second reserves are made up
of trained men who heretofore have
completed the military service which
the state requires all citizens to CON-
plete. The equipment of the reserves
is always kept in readiness at the bar
racks.
Military experts say that the calling
of the first reserves to the colors would
probably furnish an immediate force
approximately of a million trained
men, and thereafter the second reserves
and the territorial militia would per-
NIT of much further expansion.
EXCITED STATE OF PUBLIC
FEELING
LaLiberte tonight began the publica-
ton of a series of articles from the
frontier, showing the state of public
feeling and the activity of the military
forces, which are alleged to be COL
stantly drilling and undergoing inspec-
ton.
The diplomatic situation remains un-
changed as Germany has not yet pre-
sented her answer to the French note.
Officials say the negotiations are ;ak-
ing the usual normal course, without
at present any indication of a marked
change.
