terms or calling of the strike.
At the present time the main por-

Meetings will be held shortly by the

question Of accepting the peace terms

p. M, after which he goes to Oyster

that no callers should be received

former contingent was Mr.. Takahira,
the Japanese minister. Among other
callers representing foreign govern
ments were Sir Mortimer Durand, the

ney General Moody, Secretary Of the
Interior Hitchcock, Secretary of Agri-

TREATMENT OF CHINESE.
President Orders Exempt Classes BE
Admitted Without Question.

Washington, June 27.-President
Roosevelt has ordered that the difficult
ties and annoyances to which the bet
ter class of Chinese seeking to land
In this country are subjected must be
done away with at once.
1t is the declared intention of the
president to see that Chinese mer-
chants, travellers, students and others
Of the exempt classes shall have the
same courtesy shown to them by OFF,
GERS of the immigration bureau as is
accorded to citizens of the most ia
vored nation. '&@s
Instructions have been issued to
the diplomatic and consular represen-
tatives of the United States in China
by the president himself that they
must look closely to the performance
of their duties under the exclusion
law and see to 1t that members of the
exempt classes coming to this country
are provided with proper certificates.
These certificates will be accented at
any port Of the United States and will
guarantee the bearer against any
harsh or discourteous treatment
It is expected that the prompt action
taken by this government to meet the
objections made by the Chinese will
eliminate the possibility OF serious
trade difficulties between China and
the manufactures of this country

QUESTION OF PRECEDENCE.
Stumbling Block to Naming OF Peace
Plenipotentiaries.


. St. Petersburg, June 27.-Both ia
pan and Russia are now understood
to have agreed on the time when their
plenipotentiaries shall meet at Wash
ington. It will be during the first ten
days of August, but the exact date
probably will be announced by Presi-
dent Roosevelt The question of prece-
dence evidently is the main stumbling
block to I prompt settlement of the
number Of personal negotiators. Both
sides seem DESTROYS to make the other
take the initial move. Russia seems
to consider that 1t is Japan's duty to
name her plenipotentiaries before Rus
STA announces hers. While the exact
number OF the plenipot has
not been officially arranged both pow
ers seem to have tacitly agreed on
three. The actual announcement of
the names of the plenipotentiaries IL
expected within few days.
~ The question of possible armis-
tice, as stated last week, remains in
allegiance for the moment, Japan, it
Is understood, declining even to take
the matter up until the issues involved
in the Washington meeting are def
ntfeiy settled. In the meantime there
have been heavy downpours in Man
churia and the rainy season may en-
force suspension of military opera
lions before diplomacy can act.

results Of the interview are now in
the possession of Premier Rouvier
and he is not likely to make them
known before the next meeting Of the
council Of ministers, when the status
Of the negotiations will be fully gone
over.
However, definite determination
sither favorable or unfavorable will
not be long deferred. Several PROPOSE.
uons are under consideration with the
view to terminating the crisis, but
until one Of these is definitely chosen
the officials will be unable to predict
Its chances Of success. .......
