Special Cable Despatch 10 THl Sun.


LONDON, March S1.-The Sc. Petersburg
correspondent OF the Times says that he has
received information from an unimpeach-
able source that Russia and Japan have
selected President Roosevelt as mediator,
Negotiations are already in progress and
suspension Of hostilities Is expected shortly,
The Russian Governments denial Of the
reports that II had formulated the condi =
tons on which peace might be concluded
was literally and technically true, but
there Is the best authority for asserting that
Russia stated the conditions she could not
accept, namely, the payment OF an indem-
nifty and the oession Of territory,
Count LAmsdorfi, Minister Of Foreign
Affairs, communicated what may be called
Russia's negative proposals TO the French
Government day or two ago. To France,
indeed, belongs the credit Of prompting
her ally TO enter upon negotiations, and
there is no denying the powerful influence
Of the peace campaign opened by the French
press following the failure Of the Russian
loan in France.
Diplomatic circles express the greatest
praise Of Count Lamsdorf's astuteness In
opening the negotiations with q statement
Of negative conditions, as he thereby re-
serves q held for compromise.
For instance. should the Japanese insist
upon an indemnity Russia would be able
10 offer 70 retrooede the southern portion
Of the Island Of Saghalien- II Is believed
that Russia is preparing TO draft troops TO
tho Siberian frontier and TO keep Admiral
RoJestvensky cruising in Eastern waters
as demonstration Of her readiness and
ability to prolong the campaign.
The selection Of President Roosevelt as
mediator, which was due to Japanese militia
tive, is regarded in St. Petersburg as
evidence Of excellent discrimination. The
Japanese VIII thereby secure a firm friend.
who, at the same time, win make II a point
Of honor TO bring the negotiations TO a
s"c~- ,-.ul close. and who therefore would
not have been likely TO have accepted the
difficult post OF mediator If the japanese
intended to present eIorbitant demands.
TIE correspondent adds, no viewer, that
It would be preSumptuous to expect the
carly conclusion Of q treaty. II Is tho
opinion Of the highest and most influential
Russians that the question Of peaco Is
altogether dependent upon internal con-
ditions II the unrest grows peace win
BE- fastened.
II. contrary TO expectation, the dis
orders subside the negotiations at Wash
ington are likely to be retarded II, again,
the japanese demands prove incompatible
with dyhastio considerations the Govern
ment will resort to q national assembly to
decide the question OF peace or war.

The principal thing discovered at the
City Hall yesterday by the gas inves-
hgatlng committee (most Of its mem
bers do not live in this city, was that
the Consolidated Gas Company IA a
very rich corporation and that II con-
trolls absolutely the lighting business,
both gas and electric ia Manhattan and
The Bronx. This was cheerfully admitted
by the witnesses examined at the first
public session Of the investigation by the
chief inquisitor, Charles +. Hughes, and
might have been discovered, at less COST,
in -Moody's Manual The most sacred
records Of the company, which are oon-
tanned In books whose contents are shielded
from casual scrutiny by patent looks and
heavy brass clasps, we're thrown open to
the inspection Of the committee, and the
figures therefrom pertaining 10 the invest
ments and other assets Of the corporation
were spread upon the record.
When DR.. James A. Bennett the treas
urer, was first asked TO give the exact num-
Der Of shares Of stock owned by the Con-
solidated in the various constituent COM
panies, Charles F. Mathewson, counsel for
the Consolidated, made a mild protest.
He said that the Consolidated was willing
to admit, for instance, the ownership n
moro than a ma ority Of the stock Of the
New Amsterdam Company, but for BUSH
ness reasons did not wish TO give publicly
the exact number Of shares. He offered
TO give the information privately TO the COM
mittee, but Mr.. Hughes was not satisfied
to receive it in that manner, and Mr.. Ben
nett was ordered 10 produce the stock ledger
and list OF securities.
With these books 10 refresh his memory
Mr.. Bennett told Of the exact holdings Of
the Consolidated in the lighting companies
Of the old city Of New York, including the
New Amsterdam Gas Company, the Cen
trial Union Gas Company, the Northern
Union Gas Company. the East River, the
Mutual and the Standard companies.
In every case the control was absolute.
