To Confer on Peace Commission
Plans at Oyster Bay.
Japanese Commissioners Expected TO
Arrive About the Last
Of July.
NOTES OF THE COMMISSION.

Washington, July 12.-By APP
pointment Japanese Minister Taxa
hira will call on the president at
Oyster Bay next Friday for con-
ference regarding peace negotia-
tons.
The japanese are expected to
reach New York about the last of
July. Baron Komura will be accom-
panied by Col. Tachibana, the new
ly appointed military attache at
Washington, who will be one of the
advisors of mission; Mr.. Adacho,
first secretary of the legation, unat-
tached, served with Takahira while
the latter was minister at Rome; Sa-
to, of the foreign office. who ac-
companied Prince Fushimi to this
country last year; an American law
yer who has been legal advisor to
the foreign Office for 25 years; va
mao. chief of the Japanese political
bureau, and two private secretaries.
The Japanese mission will be sup
plemented at Portsmouth by Taxa
hira, the other plenipotentiary Com
mander Takahira, the Japanese ma
val attache at Washington; Haniha-
ra, the secretary of the legation here.
Throughout the conference the Jap
anese legation will remain at Wash
ington with Mr.. Hicki, first secreta-
ry, in charge. The legation will keep
in close touch with the plenipotenti-
aries and through its proximity to
the state department will render
material assistance.
Nothing more is heard here OF
China's request to be represented at
the conference. This action on the
part of China has by no means pleas
ed Japan and the latter's objection
to the suggestion was fully expected
by the Washington government.
Whether the president has communi-
Gated with China ON the subject can
not be learned here. In diplomatic
quarters sympathetic to Japan 1t is
declared that China's request was
made at the instance of Russia but
this statement lacks official confir-
nation

ROB RURAL CARRIER.
First Case of Its Kind Comes From
the Wickliffe-Blan Route,

Wickliffe, Ky, July l2.-Rolla
Blankenship, mail carrier on route
No. 2, known as the Wickliffe- Bland
vile route, reports that he was held
up and robbed by highwaymen.
Blankenship had gone to Blandville
and was returning home. He was
driving leisurely along the highway,
when a man sprang up alongside of
the road and ordered Blankenship
to throw up his hands. AS he was
complying with the request two more
of the gang came up on the opposite
side of the road and ordered him TO
get out of the buggy and to be quick
about 1t. They then relieved him of
about thirty dollars in money, a fine
gold watch, several dollars worth of
stamps and minor articles. The men
then ordered Blankenship to get in
his buggy and go on about his bust
ness. Federal authorities have been
notified, and a diligent search is be-
ing made for them.
Another account in the Cairo Bull
letin says Blankenship is carrier on
route number two going out from
Paducah, but this is an error. The
Bulletin says:
Rollie l.. Blankenship, mail car
rier on r. f. ID. No. 2, in McCracken
county, Kentucky, was held up and
robbed by three masked men, near
Ohio school house. about eight miles
east of Wickliffe and two miles north
of Blandville, yesterday about noon.
Blankenship says they got $3.50
of his individual money and s1.0S
of government money, and a X. of
p. ring that he wore on his finger
valued at about SO. The robbers went
through his mail and selected such
letters as they desired.
There were no registered letters,
but the total loss is estimated at
about $40. The robbers were dis
guised by smptting their faces but
wore no masks. They were standing
by the side Of the road and stepped
out as the lone driver approached
and ordered "hands up"
One of the men stood with two
revolvers leveled at Mr.. Blanken-
ship while the other two searched
him. afterward going through the
mail box and making their selection.
They then lowered his buggy top
and ordered him to drive on, the
man with the two revolvers turning
as he drove by and keeping the muz-
zles leveled at him.
There is yet no clue to their iden-
tity, though all the neighboring
towns we're notified to look out for
them.

Washington. July l2.-The fact
that the japanese propose to contin-
ne their military operations in Man
churia pending the development in
the peace negotiations is not sur
prise to the officials of the govern
ment who have been studying and
keeping in close touch with the sit
uation in the far east. II Is rocog-
nlzed in all quarters that the Japa-
nese cannot afford to take any chanc-
es at all. The Japanese, too, appre-
ciate that fact as their operations
evidence. The Mikado Is not san
gulne over the negotiations, as he
well knows the delaying and tricky
tactics of the Russian diplomacy, and

it was then that his identity became

ROOSEVELT AND ROSEN Z
+. ARE OLD ACQUAINTANCES

4 Washington. July I5.-Diplomats
have failed to appreciate the signifi7
canoe of the informa1ities which char
acterized the presentation. Of Baron de
.Rosen the new Russian ambassador to
the president at Sycamore Hill yester-
day. The absence of any formal ex-
changes was in accordance with the
wish Of the new envoy, but the waiv-
ing of this formality is regarded here
as an unusual work of courtesy to Bar
on de Rosen, whom the president when
civil service commissioner knew as
secretary of the Russian legation at
Washington years ago. The friend
ship was not allowed~to lapse during
the decade that followed and the send
ing of the Sylph to New York to bring
Baron de Rosen to Sycamore Hill was
another feature of the arrangements
for his presentation personally direct
ed by the president. The only other
time when the president has waived all
|formalities in the initial presentation
of an ambassador or minister was in
the year 1908, during. the Venezuelan
negotiations when the president re
ceived informally the new German en-
voy, Speck Won Sternberg, the presi-
dents personalfriend, coming as minis
ter plenipotentiary on special mis-
sion t-g~s y
Then, as now, the situation was sc
delicate, that had formal speeches beer
exchanged it would have been neces,
sary to 1confine thenitto generalitles.
