LONDON OFFICIALS PLEASED.
Much Satisfaction Over Roosevelt's
Efforts for Peace

LONDON, June 0, :35 p.m-Much satis-
faction is expressed in official and diplo-
matte circles here at the apparent success
OF President Roosevelt in bringing Russia
and Japan together for the purpose of end
ing the war. Since his arrival here White
law Reid, the American ambassador has
been in close and frequent communication
with the foreign office
The ambassador is not willing at the pres
ent juncture to disclose the result of his
visits, but apparently he is well pleased
with the progress of the negotiations as
after a busy week socially and officially the
ambassador and Mrs. and Miss Reid leave
London tomorrow to spend the week end
with Earl Egerton of Tatton and his wife
the Duchess of Buckingham and Chaudos
at Tatton Park, knutsford, Cheshire. The
other embassies are without any informa-
tion.
Russian official circles now think that
peace is probable. at least that a cessa-
ton of hostilities is pending in an en-
deavor TO bring about a meeting of repre-
sentativeS of the two powers. IL is point
ed out iii these circles that from the first
Russia declared her preference to negotia-
ting with Japan direct. and President
Roosevelt apparently is acting on that line
in arranging the prelminaries for direct
negotiations between Japan and Russia

O'Clock. She was seen bobbing about in

when she docked today. Miss Liftner went
aboard a few minutes before the boat left
Hartford yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock
There were signs Of tears on her face then,
the purser noticed, and from what others
say she must have been weeping almost
steadily until she sank her troubles in the
waters of the sound.
She did not appear to be over eighteen
years old, and was decidedly good look
ing, with dark hair and eyes and oval olive
skinned face.
On the deck where she had been seen

TEMPORARY RELEASE.
Anarchist Permitted to See His Diving
Father.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, June 9.-Charles Malato, the an
archist who is under arrest in connection
with the bomb outrage upon King Alfonso,
was temporarily released from prison yes
terday in order to see his father, who Is
thought to be dying.
Malato is said to be an Italian nobleman
of aristocratic connections, his real desig-
nation being the Marquis Malato de De-
corne. His father is a silver-haired old
man of aristocratic appearance. He lives
in the passage Noirot. His son, accom-
panied by two detectives, was driven, hand
cuffed, in a closed carriage. to the fathers
house.
In the lobby the fetters were removed
and, with the two detectives in attendance,
Malato entered his dying fathers room
Father and son wept silently in each others
arms for several minutes. Then the old
man in a painfully weak voice said:
My son, they have found you innocent
aud released you at last. All! If they
had not released you should have died"
The sight of his son gradually restored
life and color to the parent. Malato told
his father the detectives were friends Of
his. After short stay the prisoner was
taken back to prison
