Peace Negotiations Are at
a Standstill and There
Is Little Likelihood Of.
an Immediate Armistice
GREAT BATTLE MAY
UPSET ALL PLANS
st. Petersburg's Delay in An
nouncing the Cars Pleni-
potentiaries Is Arousing a
Feeling of Apprehension

WASHINGTON, June A.-Peace nego-
come to a dead halt on account of the
illness of Count Lamsdorff, the Russian
Minister for Foreign Affairs. It is ex-
planned officially that nothing in the
form Of hitch has occurred, but that
the negotiations merely have been sus-
pended temporarily.
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador,
had brief interview with President
Roosevelt to-day, but he had no addi-
tional important advices from his Gov
ernment to communicate.
1t is learned that up to this time sug
gestions for an armistice have not been
received with favor by either Russia or
Japan. Quite naturally. each Govern
ment is seeking an advantage over the
other in the diplomatic sparring that Is
now going on, and among those in touch
with the situation it is regarded as un-
likely that definite arrangements for an
armistice will be concluded-even If they
should be concluded at all-before the
formal meeting of the plenipotentiaries Of
the two powers.
AS heretofore noted, there Is serious
apprehension that, unless a temporary
suspension Of hostilities be arranged, a
great battle will be precipitated. the re-
suit of which might wreck completely the
pending peace negotiations.
In diplomatic circles Russias delay in
announcing her peace plenipotentiaries
has aroused a feeling of apprehension.
There is no lack of confidence on the
part of the President in Russia's SINGER
ity, but this delay in the preliminary ne
gotiations, it is realized, Is producing a
bad effect in Japan.

GREAT BATTLE NOT YET BEGUN.
Rumors That Linevitch Is Surrounded

RumOrB That Linevttch Is Surrounded
Disturb st. Petersburg.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 24.-Informa-
tion from the front is still scanty. While
the preliminaries are in progress, gen.
eral engagement has not been begun.
General Linevitch's latest report is dated
June 20, but press dispatches from Cod
zyadani record reconnaissance in force
against the Japanese right on June 2l
The japanese were found to have strong
ly fortified in this region three lines OF
defense, probably, as usual, strengthened
in the center by entertainments, In order
to liberate forces to work on the Hanks.
Sinister rumors continue to circulate that
Linevitch is surrounded, but apparently
they have no other basis than the Lon
don Daily Telegraph's dispatch from To-
kio. An optimistic feeling prevails at the
offices of the general staff.
The negotiations for a meeting OF peace
Observation-Disclosures are proceeding slowly
There were no developments to-day. For
eign Minister Lamsdorff is still i'll and un-
able to see ambassador Meyer, but per-
haps they will hold a conference to-
morrow 1t Is improbable that an armis-
tice will be arrangeable until the pleni-
potentiaries are named, and the time of
the meeting is named. The Foreign Office
says 1t is now awaiting Japan's PROPOSE
ton on these points.
In connection with the present peace
movement. the newspapers are recalling
that a half century ago there was much
talk of American mediation to end the
Crimean war. The st. Petersburg lei

Row Between Factions in the
Good Roads Association Is
Ended for the Present

PORTLAND, June 24-The National

where all elections must hereafter be
held. This summarizes the outcome of
the fight, which for two days has rent
the Good Roads session.
The morning session. owing to the fact
that the executive committee was unable
to report before midday. was devoted TO
listening to speeches. When the conven-
ton resumed for the afternoon session
the committee had the new constitution
ready. Accompanying the new constitu-
ton was the resolution shelving both
Moore and Richardson and putting Presi-
dent Mann in control until an election
should occur under the new constitution.
The plan to regulate the two principals
into harmless obscurity proved distasteful
TO both and ii is said that it resulted in
a meeting of the leaders on both sides at
which an understanding was reached.
Though both factions deny this, it re-
mains a fact that hostilities suddenly
vanished
Amendments were at once proposed and
adopted in effect as stated in the opening
paragraph. Following this Secretary
Richardson moved the defeat of the OBJ
noxious resolution. President Moore, who
had vacated his chair pending the trou-
Bile yesterday, again presided, and after
passing the usual votes of thanks the
convention adjourned sine die.
The set programme for the morning ses-
sion was followed practically as arranged,
