PEACE NEGOTIATIONS AT WASH
iNGTON HINGE ON THE VIC
TORS ATTITUDE.
slAED EMPIRE IS VERY CAUTIOUS
WILL NOT SACRIFICE HER sue.
CESS IN BATTLE IN DIPLO-
MATIc CONFLICT.

Washington, June 15.-Russia's for
nal response to President Roosevelts
appeal to the Far Eastern belligerents
Cor cessation of hostilities has been
communicated to the Toxic govern
ment by the president. The note writ
ten by Count Lamsdorff, by direction
Of Emperor Nicholas, and handed by
the minister of foreign affairs to AM
bassador Meyer at st. Petersburg, was
placed in turn in the hands OF Minister
Takahira by the president and trans
mitted by Mr.. Takahira to Toxic. The
president is in hourly expectation that
q response may be received from the
Japanese government.
Doubt is expressed in important
quarters whether the Russian response
Is satisfactory to Japan. The govern
ment OF the Island empire is wary of
Its big European antagonist and has
indicated its intention of not sacrific-
Inc its dearly bought victories at arms
in the conflict of diplomacy which now
Is being waged. Minister Takahira is
Inclined to look askance at that part
AS for an eventual meeting of Rus
sian and Japanese plenipotentiaries
charged with ascertaining how far 1t
would be possible for the two powers
to elaborate conditions of peace the
imperial government would have no
objection in principle to such an at
tempt if the Japanese government ex-
pressed desire therefor"
Japan,s Position Made Clear.
Japan has indicated plainly that II
there is conference between its
plenipotentiaries and those of Russia
1t must be held with definite under
standing that a sincere effort to reach
a permanent peace agreement is to be
made. She is willing to talk business
with Russian negotiators empowered
to do likewise, but she does not pro-
pose to permit any unusual strings to
be attached to the Russian conferees
strings which may be pulled to her
ultimate disadvantage. An American
official expressed In a few words Ja-
PANS position:
"Is Russia is sincere in her desire
not Japan is ready to go on with the
war"
No suggestion OF serious hitch in
the peace negotiations is made at this
moment. Such inquiries as are possi-
BILE to make at this writing have ellc-
tied assurances that the situation Is
favorable for an amicable arrangement
of the peace conference. The negotia-
tions now have to do with the selection
of location for the conference ana
the number of plenipotentiaries. These
details may be adjusted satisfactorily
soon, although it is pointed out that
the negotiations may be prolonged for
several days. Assurance is given at
the White House that as soon as ar
rangements shall have been COM
pleted formal announcement OF their
purport will be published to the world.

Who Died First.

Topeka, April %. The courts
of this state will likely be called
upon to settle the same question
that arose in California over the
Fair estate. 1t will be remembered
that Fair and his wife were killed
in an automobile wreck and the
question is to whether the property
went to Fairs heirs or his wife's
heirs hinged on the point as to
which died first in the wreck. The
same point has been raised at
Channte. Jesse Rubart and his
wife were asphyxiated by gas.
Rubart's brother claims the insur.
ance and other property, while
Mrs. Rubart's mother claims it
The case will be checked up to the
courts for decision.
