JAPANESE ARE SUSPICIOUS.
Fear Toxic Will Again Be Cheated of
the Fruits of Victory.

TOXIC. June 1.-THE Japanese continue
to maintain an attitude of reserve toward
the question of peace. There were some
demonstrations in the streets of the capt.
tai late last evening and to-day students
organized celebration, but rainstorm
speedily cleared the streets.
1t seems to be the popular fear that
Japan will sacrifice the advantage of Adj
miral Togos victory, as well as Field
Marshal Oyama's opportunities, by con-
senting to armistice now. 1t is felt
that Togo's victory opens the entire Rus
sian Pacific Coast to invasion and Oyama
is capable of speedily taking Harbin. cut
ting the railway and isolating Vladi-
voStok. 1t is feared, also. that the Rus
slams will take advantage of an afmistice
to improve their positions and strengthen
their forces.
There is a general demand that Japan
carefully safeguard her intere SITS If an
armiStice is declared.
Sunday brought no important develop
ments in the situation. No information
concerning Russia,s formal answer to
President Roosevelt's proposal has been
received here, and the Government pre-
served an attitude of silence.

The selection of the Japanese pienipo-
tentiaries to arrange terms of peace is
already being discussed. The names of
Marquis Ito, Premier Katsura, Foreign
Minister Komura, Marquis Yamagata and
others are being suggested for possible
heads of the commission.
Popular estimates of Japan's terms of
peace vary widely and include both in

believed that the Peace Commissioners

Complaint Against Southern
Roads Strikes at Vital
Issues of Railway Problem
TAKEN UP BY MOODY
Attorney General Not Yet
Able to State What Action
Will Be Taken in Matter
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU. POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, June 11-Should the
Receivers and Shippers Association OF
Cincinnati. succeed in getting Federal
action against the group OF Southern
railroads, for which 1t has petltloneo
President Roosevelt, it is agreed by
all concerned that the case will be
much more important and far-reachlng
than the Northern Securities Company
Both the Government officials and the
railway presidents have begun to ap-
preciate the Importance of the case
Every great railroad in the country is
interested.
Attorney General Moody spent part
of to-day inesthe consideration OF the
prayer of the petitioners. He said to-
night the case had not been given suf-
ficient consideration yet to warrant any
prediction as to whether the Govern
ment would proceed to investigate by
special counsel. The railroad rate ques-
tion, as it is now pending in Congress,
and the Presidents con ntention for the
rate making power for the Interstate
Commerce Commission are directly in
volved in this case.
1t is reported and not denied that
the Receivers and shippers Associa-
tion has begun this contest very large
ly for retaliation upon Samuel Spencer,
president of the Southern Railway, and
the officials of the Atlantic Coast Line,
who have been very prominent IN
Washington in the last few months op-
posing the Esch-Townsend bill or any
other similar measure. One of the rep
resentatives of the petitioners is re-
ported TO have said that If the rail-
way men are put on the defensive in
the matter of violating the Sherman
antitrust law they will have less time
and energy for lighting rate BILL
Eastern seaboard cities are also
much concerned in the case, because it
is based on what the petitioners call
discrimination in favor of Northern
points. The West already has a diff
ferential against Boston, New York
Philadelphia and Baltimore 1t is con-
tended that this should be greater and
on this complaint the petition for Gov
ernment action against the Southern
combination is based. The petition
says: Q
AS found by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, the action of the
illegal combination described is great

of the Southern States. by depriving
the people of those States of the advan-
tages that would flow from free COM

TEAM OWNERS
REMAIN ALOOF

CHICAGO, June 11.-The Chicago
Team Owners Association, an organiz-
alton employing 5000 union teamsters,
has decided to remain neutral in the
present labor struggle now in progress
in, Chicago. Ever since the commences
nent Of the teamsters' strike the Team
owners Association has beers anxious
TO have the question of making deliv-
cries to strike-bound houses submitted
to- arbitration. The teamsters, by a
unanimous vote, refused to agree to the
proposition and for a time it was be-
lieved that the team owners would
force a strike of these 5000 drivers by
ordering them to make deliveries to
firms involved in the strike.
In an effort To learn the sentiment
of the members of the association re-
garding the matter it was decided to
take referendum vote on the question
This vote was completed to-day and
resulted in 155 of the members voting
to remain neutral during the trouble
and in three members voting to compel
the teamsters to obey orders The de-
lcision reached by the owners means
that there will be no strike Of these
men and the threatened expansion of
the trouble in this direction has been
averted.
Negotia ations for peace, which prom
ised for a time last week to be sue,
cessful, have apparently been aban-i
doned for the present at least, as both
sides are so far apart on any plans of.
settlement by mediation that furtheri
efforts in this direction are believed tol
be futile.
The employers declare that they have
conceded every point possible The.
strikers assert that settlement along
the lines proposed by the employers
would mean "dishonorables surrender =
and this the officials Of the Teamsters'
Union emphatically declare they will
never do.
One of the causes for the prolonga-'
ton of the present strike is said to be
the political ambitions OF several Chi
cago union leaders. At least three of
the Chicago labor leaders desire to be
president of the national organization
of the teamSteTS.

LONDON, June 12.-Some of the Lon
don morning newspapers are still skepti-
cal of the possibility of peace resulting
from President Roosevelts efforts, but
all admit the unexpectedly swift progress
of events and pay the highest tributes
OF praise TO the Presidents diplomacy. III

desire TO arrange for peace.
The Daily Telegraph, which may be re-
garded as Government organ, believes
that there is evtry reason to expect a
satisfactory issue, though it is almost
certain that there will be temporary de-
lays and bitches The paper bases this
belief on its conviction that Japan's
terms. in their broader outline. must have
been known to all parties concerned be-
fore negotiations reached their present
stage and that had there been a single
proposal which would be absolutely un-
acceptable. RUSSIA would not have en-
gagged in the negotiations at all.
Other papers maintain that there will
be little chance of peace until General
Linevitch shall have been driven across
the Amur River and until the Japanese
shall have captured Vladivostok- There

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, July S.-Escaping from
her cage in Rosherville Gardens, a
large African baboon has had thor
oughly merry adventure.
For a time she walked about in un-
disputed possession of the adjoining
village, as the inhabitants gave her a
wide berth, her character being some
what doubtful.
The baboon, whose name is Nan,
eventually strolled into the Elephants s
Head hotel, and the alarmed custom
ers fled in panic. The landlord states
that, being in fix behind the counter,
he threw all the food and dainties he
could lay hands on at the baboon.
After the feast, she sprang upon the
counter and seized a pewter pot. Fear
ing mischief he left her to her own
devices.
Several persons who peeped through
the windows testify that Nan drew
beer for herself as deftly as a potman.
Eventually daughter of Maj. Win
grove, a Rosherville resident, cap
tured the baboon and led her back to
the gardens.
Miss Wingrove, as a frequent visitor
to the gardens, had often given Nan
dainty morsels. The animal knew her
and tamely submitted to the capture.

FOUR HUNDRED LOVERS
VICTIMIZED BY HOAX
American Woman's" Advertisement
for Husband Results In Crowd
of Applicants Appearing


Special Cable to The Herald.
BARCELONA, July S.-An amusing
hoax was perpetrated here yesterday
by which 400 young men were made to
look supremely foolish
An advertisement appeared in the
local papers few days ago to the eff
feet that a young and wealthy Ameri-
can woman desired to meet an ele-
giant Spanish gentleman with view
to matrimony. Applicants were invited
to send their photographs and ad-
dresses.
More than 400 candidates applied, ami
each received a letter informing him
that he was the accepted suitor and
asking him to meet the advertiser at
a farm situated outside the town at
certain hour.
The 400 candidates, all dressed in
their very best clothes, put in an ap
pearance, and when they found they
had been cleverly hoaxed a ludicrous
scene ensued. Finally they organized
a hostile demonstration and marched
to the advertising office from which
the American lady's" announcement
had been dated.
But for the timely arrival of the po-
lice the office would have been wrecked
by the crestfallen young gallants.
