Colorado Springs. Colo.-Informa-
tion was received here recently fixing
the exact date of President Roose-
velt's arrival in Colorado Springs. He
will report here early in the evening
of April II. and the same night will
leave for the hunt in the western part
of the state.
"The stopover here will only be long
enough TO allow the president to in
spect his hunting equipment and have
his train switched to the Midland
tracks" said Philip b. Stewart. While
| purchased the supplies for, the trip,
there are some things that the presi-
dent will have to select for himself, as
| have not his measurements. How
ever, this will take only few minutes.
All the equipment is being sent to my
home, and upon the presidents arriv-
al here we will go direct to the house
and arrange to leave on the journey
west as soon as possible. The presi-
dent will not be in Colorado Springs
longer than two or three hours"
All commissary arrangements have
been left in charge of the guides.

FEELING in WASHINGTON,
Officials Hope for Direct Negotiations
Between Russia and Japan.

Washington-Nelther Russia nor ia
pan has asked President Roosevelt to
assist in ending the war.
So far as the Washington govern
nent is aware, Emperor Nicholas has
aot yet weakened in his announced
decision "to prosecute the war to the
bitter end"
The genuine wish OF this govern
ment for peace in the far east is not
based upon selfish interests. Amerl-
can financiers have not overloaded
| themselves with the securities OF
either Of the belligerent nations.
| Washington believes that It Is to the
advantage Of both belligerents that
the far eastern war should come to a
speedy end, and anything that this
| government can do to bring that about
will be done gladly.
From the outset of the war the pres
ident has taken the position, as has
been repeatedly announced by Sec.
Hay that he will do anything in his
power to assist Russia and Japan to a
peace basis when his services shall
be acceptable to the belligerents.
But 1t Is authoritatively stated that
no official of the Washington govern
ment is ambitious to pose as the med
lator between the czar and the mi
kado
1t is the feeling here that Russia
and Japan should negotiate directly
and avoid an international confer
ence.
This opinion also prevails in Berlin.
Indeed, Japan has recently received an
urgent warning against indirect ne
gotiations, lest they lead to an inter-
national conference, the results of
which might prove disastrous to the
interests of both belligerents.
There Is authority for the statement
that France is diligently striving TO
end the war, and that for six weeks
past negotiations of the most conf
Dental character have been in pro
gress between Paris and st. Peters
burg.
Even diplomats of the highest rank
have failed to obtain from M. Del
casse, the French foreign minister,
the results of these negotiations, but II
can be announced on the same author
ity that Count LamsdOrff, the Rus
sian minister for foreign affairs, has
within week admitted that he had in
a general way outlined to NJ. Delcasse
the general terms along which Russia
might consent to consider peace.
