Washington. June 27.-With the president away from Washington peace negotiations today entered upon a per iod of inactivity which may continue until the president reaches Oyster Bay.

Caused hy EXPANSION.

1t is now generally believed that the
damage by the buckling yesterday OF the
yitrifed brick roadway on the south side
of King street, near Columbus, was
caused by expansion, and not sewer gas
as was at first supposed. 1t is said by
some that the trouble was the result oil
neglect to place suitable joints in the
work TO meet such an emergency, but this
is not generally accepted. 1t will be
remembered that the pavement at this
particular point was laid during "ery cold
weather and the natural expansion OF the
bricks and cement in warm weather Is
sufficient to have caused the buckllpg.
The concrete foundation of the pavement
is intact. Repairs will be comm enced
