Up to 1880 seventy-fve persons,
half Of whom were seriously injured,

MISSISSIPPI IS HIGH

Hannibal, Mo-, June 1.-THE flood
in the Mississippi river has spread over
all the unprotected lowlands and is
from five to ten miles wide between
here and Keopkuck, Iowa. Near Alex
ander, Mo, a farmer was drowned and
seven other persons are reported miss
ing. Great numbers of carcases of
live stock are floating past Hannibal,
and from Alexandria, Canton, Mem
phis, West Quincy and Keokuk reports
have been received of the general loss
of live stock. The flood came so sud-
denly that the farmers in the low lands
had no time to do more than save their
families. The river continues to rise
here at the rate of three inches an
hour. An army of men is at work IN
hte lower portion of Hannibal endeav-
oring to save property. The railroad
yards and factory districts are inundat
ed. All availa bel boats are making
trips up and down the river rescuing
persons who fled to points above the
water line. Many of the small levees
have broken. The property loss al
ready suffered, it is estimated, will
run into the millions.

Chicago's Big Strike.

question of making deliveries to strike

The transfers, by unanimous vote,
refused to agree to the proposition

these 5000 drivers by ordering them
to make deliveries to firms involved in
the strike.

teamsters' union emphatically declare
they will never do.

They have AGREED TO AGREE
Through the Efforts of President
Roosevelt Peace Is Assured
i'm the Far East.

Official assurances that the presi-
dents efforts to bring Russia and Jap
an together to discuss peace will be
crowned with success was brought to
the White House Monday by Count
Cassini. the Russian ambassador, who
called by appointment and in the name
of Emperor Nicholas formally accepted
the presidents offer of good will. The
following official statement regarding
the conference was issued at the White
House.:
Ambassador Cassini has called to ex-
press the Russian government s assent
to the presidents proposition and to
say that they would appoint plenipo-
tentiaries to meet the plenipotentiaries
of Japan to discuss the question of
peace. The place of meeting is at
present being discussed"
During the past two weeks the presi-
dents efforts have been directed to-
ward a mutual agreement to consider
terms of peace. This he accomplished
finally Monday. 1t remains now for
the belligerent powers to name their
plenipotentiaries and agree upon time
and place for them to meet to discuss
terms and to negotiate treaty of
peace. These "details are now under
consideration, with bright prospect
that such minor differences as may ex-
ist will be resolved within few days.
Conferences of supreme Importance
were held Monday in Washington. The
blue room Of the White Huose was the
scene, and President Roosevelt, Count
Cassini and Kogoro Takahira, the jap
anese minister, were the principal COLI
ferees. President ROOSEVELT now has
unequivocal assurances from both Rus
STA and Japan of the acceptance of his
proposition that they enter on negotia-
lions for peace.
The president is likewise assured of
the absolute sincerity Of both govern
ments in acceding to his suggestion.
Japan was the first of the two powers
to indicate its acceptance of President
RoOsevelt's proposition. The formal
response to his identical note of Thurs
day last was received from the Japan
csc government Saturday. Info1 m al
assurances of acceptances of the presi-
dents suggestion were received from
the Russian government little later,
but the assurances from st. Petersburg
were not of the same definite character
as had been received from Toxic.
Early Monday Ambassador Meyer,
at St. Petersburg. informed this gov
eminent that Russia had accepted the
presidents proposition and would name
representatives with plenary powers to
meet plenpotentiaries of Japan. While
satisfactory, the response of Russia
was not in the same definite form as
that of Japan. 1t had been the expec-
tation of the president to publish to the
world the replies of the two govern

WAR STATUS LAST WEEK,
No Military or Naval Operations in
Far East.

There were no important military or
naval operations in the far east last
week, as all influences were making
for peace. No aggressiveness was
manifested in Manchuria, although
both armies have apparently been in
condition to wage heavy battle. Field
Marshal Oyama evidently decided to
postpone his contemplated forward
movement until the question of sea
supremacy was determined and by sc
doing he has undoubtedly effected an
immense saving in blood and treasure
of willingness by both belligerents to
accept the suggestion of President
Roosevelt for the appointment of plen.
ipOtentiaries who are to consider
peace terms. This does not necessari
ly mean that the conditions proposed
by Japan will be acceptable or that a
permanent end of hostilities is assur
ed by the calling of the conference
But it signifies that Russia has in a
measure recognized the hopelessness

The striking figure in these impor.

President Roosevelt. 1t is now admit
ted at all the great capitals that he
was in the best position to advise the
opening of negotiations that might
bring to a close the bloody conflict
now more than a year old. He has
done it with dignity and felicitous
terms and both powers interested
have not been slow to praise the ad

ROOSEvELT'S NOTE FOR PEACE.
Sent to Japanese and Russian Gov
ernfnentS.

On June s the following dispatch
was sent by the president through dip
lCmatic channels to the japanese and
Russian governments:
THE president feels that the time
has come when in the interest Of all
mankind he must endeavOr to see If
it is possible to bring to an end the
terrible and lamentable conflict now
being waged. When both Russia and
Japan the United States has intimacy
and friendship. 1t hopes for the pros
perity and welfare of each, and it
feels that the progress of the world is
set back by the war between these
two great nations. The president &C
cordingly urges the Russian anL Jap
anese governments, not only for their
whole civilized world, to inaugurate
direct negotiations for peace with one
another
The president suggests that these
peace negotiations be conducted di-
rectly and exclusively between the
selligerents; in other words, that
there may be meeting of Russian
and japanese plenipotentiaries or del
egates without any intermediary, in
order to see if it is not possible for
these representatives of the two pow
ers to agree to terms of peace. The
president earnestly asks that the Rus
sian and Japanese governments do
now agree to such a meeting and is
asking the Japanese and Russian gov
ernments to agree likewise.
"While the president does not feel
that any intermediary should be call
ed with respect to the peace negoti-
ations themselves, he is entirely will
ing to do what he properly can, if
the powers concerned feel that his SER
vices will be of effect in arranging the
preliminaries as to the time and place
of meeting. But if even these prelim-
inaries can be arranged directly be-
tween the two powers, or in any other
way, the president will be glad, as his
sole purpose is to bring about a meet
ing which the whole civilized world
will pray may result in peace"

GROWS VINELESS POTATO.
Can Supply New Tubers at Any Sea-
son O. Year.

son o. Year.
A Great Falls. Mont, man has pro-
duced potatoes without vines, and as
serts that he is now able to supply
new potatoes for the market at any
season of the year. The inventor will
not reveal the process in detail. He
has conducted his experiments in
box ks feet, in which mere is steam
coil for heating.
He states that he has succeeded,
after much experimenting, in perfect
ing a compound resembling soil that
when heated is a fertile field for the
development of plant life. In layer
of this compound he plants potato
eyes, then another layer of the COM
pound with more potato eyes, and so
On until the box is hlled. He claims
that in this compound potatoes grow
without any portion of the vine or
sprOut appearing above the surface;
that all growth is in tubers and that
it is not necessary for either light or
air to reach the potatoes at any stage
of their growth, elements in the COM
pound serving the purpose of oxygen.
At first the potatoes, when exposed
30 the air, rotted quickly, but now
this has been overcome, he says, and
his experiment is an unqualified sue
cess after many years. Those who
