from spreading.
The cause of the fire is attributed

ENJOYS MAY MEET HERE
London Believes They Will Confer In
misunderstanding Terms.

London, June 1O.-Diplomatic circles
in London believe the plenipotentiaries
will meet in Washington, Baron Rosen,
who is to succeed Count Cassini as
Russian ambassador to the United
States, probably representing Russia:
It is also understood that Russia now
admits in principle that the demand for
an indemnity is justified. It is sug-
gested that the terms of Japan, will
probably also include the acknowledge
ment of japanese protectorate over
Korea, the. total Russian evacuation Of
Manchuria, the handing over of Rus
sian interests on the Liao-tung PENN
sula and at Port Arthur to Japan, and
the cession of the railroad from Port
Arthur to Hardin. The jurisdiction Of
the island of Saghalien will also be
raised. It is thought that the amount
of the indemnity which will be demand
ed by Japan will depend in some meas
ure on other conditions. If these are
considered to be such as will ensure q
durable peace the indemnity will be
less than it otherwise would.

NEW MONEY POWER RULES
THRUEQUITABLEC CONTROL
W ALKED RIGHT in
ON The BURGLARS
Daring Robbers, Surprised a
Their Work, Flee Without
Their Booty.

When Mr.. and Mrs. W. S. Rodgers
entered their darkened house at 128
East Fourteenth street late last even
ing, they ran plump into two daring
burglars who had sacked all the sill
verware and were preparing to leave.
Surprised at finding themselves in the
same room with the robbers they stood
still while the providers, undetermined
whether to fight or run, did the same.
Finally the robbers weakened, ran to
the rear door and escaped before the
police could be summoned.
Mr.. Rodgers and his wife left, early
in the evening and securely fastened
all the doors and windows. In some
way the rear door was opened and the
robbers were working rapidly when
surprised. Silverware and valuables
worth about $500 had been hastily
thrown into a sack.
The sack made bunglesome load to
carry and when the marauders bolted
for the door they left in in front of the
sideboard. Everything Of value had
been removed from the latter and in a
few minutes more the thieves would
have been gone.
Altho it was too dark to get good
view Of the men, it is thought they
wore no masks. A search showed that
nothing was missing.
Almost as daring a burglary was
committed yesterday afternoon when
thieves entered the residence Of P. T
Watson, 907 West Franklin avenue, and
stole jewelry worth about $50. Among
the articles taken were some valuable
heirlooms. Mr.. Watson does not know
how the burglars entered the place, as
everything was securely locked wher
he returned home. ~.

The President IS Note.
The note follows:

IuO uOGC LO1AOWo. -.
"The president feels that the time
has come when in the interest Of all
mankind he must endeavor to see if it
terrible and lamentable conflict now
being waged.
With both Russia and Japan the
United States has inherited ties Of
friendship and good will. It hopes for
the prosperity of each, and it feels that
the progress Of the world is set back
by the war between these two great
nations.
The president, accordingly, urges
the Russian and Japanese governments
not only for their own sakes, but in the
interest of the whole civilized world,
to open direct negotiations for peace
with one another.
"The president suggests that these
peace negotiations be conducted direct
ly and exclusively between the bellig-
erents; in other words, that there may
| be meeting Of Russian and Japanese
plenipotentiaries or delegates without
any intermediary, in order to see if
| it is possible for these representatives
of the two powers to agree to terms of
peace.
The president earnestly asks that
the (Russian) (Japanese) government
do now agree to such meeting and is
asking the (Japanese) QRussian) gov,
eminent likewise to agree.
While the president does not fee
that any Intermediary should be called
in in respect to the peace negotiations
themselves, he is entirely willing to dc
what he properly can If the two powers
concerned feel that his services will >be
of aid in arranging the preliminaries
as to the time and place Of meeting.
/ "But if even these preliminaries car
be arranged directly between the two
/ powers, or in any other way, the pres
ident will be glad, as his desire is tt
bring about meeting which the Who'll,

will call on him to act in that capacity,
for it is well understood that they are
to deal directly with each other.
Japan has declared from the begin
ming that when the time came to end
the war, she would deal with no other
power than Russia and thru no other
power. 7 The car took precisely the
same position when he was approached
by Ambassador Meyer, and announced
that as. conditions precedent to any
peace negotiations it must be under
stood that Japan s terms would be rea-
sonable and involve no humiliation for
Russia, and that the two nations would
be left to settle their quarrel between
themselves en- and on their own terms.
The reasons for these positions were
apparent. Thru the meddling of the
powers Japan was robbed of the fruits
OF her victory over China, and the
present war made certainty for the
future. The powers also combined
against Russia when she was worn out
by war and forced the treaty, which
barred the Dardanelles against her.
Kept Other Powers Out.
Mr.. Roosevelt prevailed upon the
powers to stand aside and not attempt
to dictate or interfere with the terms
| of peace. The, promise. of peace is due
entirely to the efforts of Mr.. Roosevelt.
He Initiated the movement to influence
| the car to peace, and secured the sup
port OF the powers of Europe. In his
/ talk with the car at which the way
was paved for the conclusion an
! nounced, Ambassador Meyer repre-
| sented the views of the United States,
England, Germany and France, and was
| IN effect the representative of all of
them, tho each power made Individual
| representations to the car in the in
terest Of peace.
Japan's Terms Moderate.
Next to exerting a combined infu-
ence with the car that would incline
him toward peace, the president de-
voted himself to influencing Japan to
be reasonable in her demands and make
1t easy for Russia to meet them. In
| this he was as successful Just what
Japan's demands are likely to be is
| known to no outsider except Mr.. Roose-
| welt, who conveyed their cardinal fea-
lures to the czar, but under a pledge
that they would not be revealed to any
are moderate to degree that even sur.
prised the president.
The car g prompt acceptance, in
principle, of the most vital of Japan Is
! terms, makes it certain that the terms
involve no great humiliation for Russia
and indicates his belief that final terms
can be worked OUT from them.
Note Published by Consent.
There is every reason to believe that
it was agreed by Russia and Japan that
the president should give out his for.
NAL note, to them as the means of an.
