Of Emperor Nicholas response TO ms
The efforts that President Roosevelt
has been making 10 bring the belligerents
together entered on distinctly new phase
last night. Foreign Minister Lamsdorff
had an audience OF the emperor in the
afternoon on the subject OF Ambassador
Cassinis communication. and at IL
o'clock last night Ambassador Meyer
called on Count Lamsdorff at the chan
celery and remained with the foreign
minister for some time.
tion OF Count Lamsdorff or at the request
OF the amba ssador cannot definitely be
stated. but there is reason to believe that
the visit was in obedience TO instructions
from washington. conveying personal
communication from the president to the
emperor rendering his good offices.
The result was that today Mr. MeyT
went to Tsarskoe Selo in full uniform
and was received in special audience by
the emperor Upon his return to ST.
Petersburg this afternoon Mr.. Meyer
hastened to the embassy whence he sent
a long cipher dispatch to Washington
Half an hour later he was closeted with
Sir Charles Hardinge, the British ambas-
sador.
SITUATION VERY DELICATE.
The present situation is extremely deli
cate and the greatest retlcence is OBJ

The foreign office is deserted this being
the Empress birthday and at the Ameri-
can embassy no statement could be pro-
cured this afternoon.
Nevertheless there are some collateral
indications that the Emperor's response
was favorable.
The sudden retirement OF the French
Foreign Mfntster, NJ. Delcasse, who was
regarded as not only one OF the strongest
supporters Of the dual alliance but as one
Of the stanchest friends of Russia was a
great blow TO Russia. and rendered Presi-

larly opportune.
Beside IL is known, as set forth In these
dispatches last night, that the Emperor
