here is that he will come from Paris.

Europe say that Emperor Nicholas has
been considering General Kuropatkin
as g. possible associate for NJ. Nelidoff,
but that nothing is being said on the
subject in st. Petersburg lest Kuro-
patl,in's enemies rally against him.

TO MEET IN WASHINGTON
Russo-Japanese Peace Farley to Be
Held at Nations Capital.
DUE TO ROOSEvELT'S TACT

Capital, the ENJOYS May Go to New.
port or Some Other Resort-Septem.
Der the Time Chosen For the Meeting
-Plenipotentiaries Not Named.
Washington, D. G.. Americas ma
tional capital has beer selected as the
seat of negotiations between the pleni-
potentiaries of Russia and Japan for
a treaty Of peace.
The official announcement was made
by Secretary Loeb. 1t was as follows:
when the two Governments were
unable to agree upon either Chefoo
or Paris, the President suggested The
Hague, but both Governments have
now requested that Washington be cho-
sen as the place ON meeting, and the
President has accordingly formally no.
tilted both Governments that Wash
ington will be SO selected"
This statement was supplemented
shortly afterward by a semi-oficial an
nouncement that latter meeting and
organizing the plenipotentiaries of the
two Governments, if it should be
found to be uncomfortably hot in
Washington, may adjourn the meeting
to some summer resort in the North,
and there continue until such time as
the weather in Washington shall be
more comfortable"
This is taken to mean either New
port, where most of the foreign diplo-
mats have their summer homes, or
Observation-Disclosures most likely the
former.

Fight to Be Over Territory.

The first thing before the conference
will be the approximate indemnity to
be asked by Japan, and this will in
volve what territorial concessions she
shall demand from Russia. Besides
this, Japan will undoubtedly try to Sc
cure from China the exact place which
Russia held under lease-namely, Port
Arthur.
1t is practically anticipated here that
there will be a big hitch Over the ter
ritorial prize which Japan shall de-
mand. 1t is in the air that Japan will
first insist strongly on Port Arthur and
the suzerainty over Manchuria. Fail
ing in that. in whole or in part. Japan
will insist on ~Vladivostok, Japan's nat
ural idea being to control the naval sit
uation as against Russia and prevent
her ever again holding China by the
throat for territory or franchises.
One Of the disturbing factors which
are clearly foreseen here, is that even
England and Germany would not like
to see Port Arthur turned owe to
Japan to strengthen her nightly, in
addition to Ter present navy, plus the
ships captured from Russia.

Regarded as Victory For Japs.

Diplomatists take the view that the
selection of Washington is the first
diplomatic victory for Japan, as Rus
sian influence favored a European
point, while Japan opposed a meeting
in Europe.
1t will require at least a month for
the negotiations of the two Govern
ments, with their respective stats, to
come together, the distance from ia
pan particularly being so great that q
shorter time scarcely could be allowed.
1t therefore seems quite likely that
the conference will not assemble for
.mally before the middle of August or
the first of September.
Prior to the ormal assembling Of
the conference 1t Is probable, if prece-
dent be followed, that a peace protocol
will be negotiated. The making Of the
protocol will take place before the dec
laration OF q formal armistice.
