Sees Little Hope in the Future fer
Russian Government.


st. Petersburg, June 15.-The Slovo
publishes a remarkable sensational
interview filled with the gloomiest
forebodings with M. White, president
of the committee of ministers. The
Russian statesmans name is not men
toned, but the veil OF his identity can
be pierced by the veriest tyro. He,
evidently spoke with the profound
conviction that the affairs of state
are going from bad to worse and I'M
der personal irritation produced by
the intrigues which compel him to sit
idle during the present crisis. Every
word was black with pessimism The
statesman made it clear that Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff for one opposes
his having anything to do with the
peace negotiations.
Asked concerning the report that
he is going abroad charged with a
mission in regard to the negotiations
for peace, M. White replied, his words
being given literally as they contain
much hidden meaning:
mo. / certainly will not go on
such mission for three reasons.
The last of them is that | shall do
everything to avoid it. Even if the
rumor of Lamsdorff's resignation is
true, which l insist is not the case,
the main situation would not be
changed, and the first and third rea-
sons would hold for me-
Nothing that Russia has gone
through is surprising. | gave warn
ing in due time that only the match
wood of Rojestvensky's squadron
would reach Valdivostok. In a word,
| justly earned the designation of a
croaking raven. ! do moi see that af-
makes my services desirable. | will
say moreover now, ! cannot OBJ
serve a definite desire to change the
direction of the current. The bed of
the onrushing stream remains the
same. Only the obstacles in its path
grow more numerous and foaming
rapids indicate the danger points.
"As for peace, Japan will not even
be willing TO discuss basis which
would not insure peace for at least
fifty years. Her conditions doubtless
have also considerably increased
She will, of course, agree TO open ne
gotiations on her own soil without me-
diators with person whom Russia
will clothe with special powers
Herein lies the real source of the ru-
mors originating in the Berlin and
London cabinets about my trip
Yes, there is truth in
what you, say, but you see different
estimate is placed upon the men
abroad. PEOPLE there are better in
formed and appreciate more clearly
the conditions prevailing in Russia
than we do here.
Russia could prolong
the war for five years in the hoe OF
coming out victorious were it not for
events in the interior to which they
are closing their eyes AMI stopping
their ears and trying to know nothing
about.
Here lies the horror of
the present situation in Russia. Ev-
cry hour of delay is fraught with dan
ger. Down, down, lower
and lower-step by step"
The Sviet, which is as pessimistic
as ever, declares there is little hope
that the japanese terms will be ac-
ceptable. The paper adds: Europe
and America seek to humiliate Rus
sia,, but Russia will not bear the dis
grace with light heart"

DEMAND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
Russian Liberal Newspapers Repeat
Their Demands for Same.

st. Petersburg, June 16.-The liber-
of the government to make peace if
terms possible of acceptance are of
fered as a surrender and are follow
ing up their advantage by redoubling
their demands for a representative as
sembly, arguing that the bureaucracy
which has proved its incompetence
to make war successfully is usually
incapable of including creditable
peace. The Russ, now the leader of
the constitutionalist papers. declares
that the government without the peo-
pies support is impotent to continue
the war and will be compelled to ac-
cept any terms. Only a national as
sembly, it insists, can now save the
situation because only with the sane
ton of the people can exorbitant con-
ditions be successfully resisted.
The Russ adds: "The mere men
ton of peace has aroused the people
who profoundly distrust the govern
ment's ability to cope with the prob
lem by mail and telegraph. The COM
mittee of ministers is flooded with
petitions for the assembly of a zem-
skysober to pass upon the peace
terms. All decent classes of society
are unanimously of the opinion that
we must begin the history of a new
Russia-Russia for the people"
Even the reactionary Sviet is car
ried off it's feet by the tide and joins
in the chorus asking for a zemsky-so-
hOr The SWEET however does not
ask for a zemsky-sobor in order to
make peace but to secure the support
of the people to continue the war.

MAYOR is VICTORIOUS.
Secures Repeal of Rapid Transit
Franchises

PhiladelT hia, Pa, June 16.-An-
other blow was dealt at the republi
can organization yesterday when the
street railways committee of the
councils referred back to that body
the bills repeating the ordinances
granting to the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company franchises for 10
miles of streets without payment to
the city. The ordinances granting
the franchise were passed over May
or Viewers veto, and at his insti-
CATION the repealers were introduced
The outcome of the attempt to he
stow the franchise is regarded as a
victory for Mayor Weaver, whom
wishes in the matter were opposed
by the organization leaders.

Oskaloosa, June 19.-Following the
organization of the Oskaloosa-BuxtOn
Interurban company yesterday, with
a capital stock of 100000. came the

two weeks to get the signatures of a
majority of the voters as required by

have been sufficient.

years operated a small distillery east
of town, is the promoter and the capt.

constructed and thirty people employ
ed.
