PEACE

.TAT T DON'T think there is much
w doubt that the agreement Of
Russia and Japan to appoint peace
commissioners means an end Of the
war; The selection OF this country for
the conferences is a compliment both
Ito America and to President Roosevelt;
it is a tribute to our impartiality.
In such matters the first step IS the
most difficult After consentins to the
negotiations Russia viii hardly break
off and resume hostfities. no mr. er
how hard the terms OF Japan. For to
do so would be to face other disasters
and to have to submit to even harsher
terms in the end. by this time RUS
sia has learned Of Japan's ability "a
fight and Of her resources. she has
also found the limits Of her own.
Her purpose cannot be mere delay
for that would not help her. She cane
not borrow any more money month
hence than she can now. She cannot
increase The capacity OF the Trans
Siberian railroad ia month. Her
navy is at the bottom OF the sea, and
another win be the work Of years so
mere delay will not avail her. e..
No; unless Russia is dense beyond
belief having taken the FIRST step she
win finally accept Japanese terms and
end The war; The Influence OF an na-
tions VIII be exerted to effect a settle
ment While they win not be parties
to the negotiations. they win exert a
great influence. possibly to secure
from Japan modification of her
terms and possibly 20 influence Russia

CREEK PREMIER
WAS MURDERED
Stabbed by a Gambler As
He Entered Chamber of
Deputies
ASSASSIN ESCAPED LYNCHING

Athens, June 14.--Theodore p Del
yannis, the popular premier Of Greece,
was stabbed and mortally wounded oy
a professional gambler named Ghera-
karis at the main entrance of thecham-
Der OF deputies. The premier died
within three hours.
The assassin, who was Immediately
arrested, said he committed the deed
in revenge for stringent measures taken
by Premier Delyannis against the gam
bling houses, all Of which were recently
closed.
The premier arrived at the entrance
Of the chamber in a carriage. Ghera-
karis approached, saluted the premier
and opened the carriage door, The pre-
mier was in the act OF thanking Ghera-
karis for his courtesy when hegambler
plunged a long dagger into NJ. Delyan-
mis- abdomen, inIiictlng a frightful
wound.
/, The murderer was Immediately over
powered by the attendants Medical
assistance was quickly secured and the
wounded statesman was taken to a
Red Cross station. where an operation
was performed IN an effort to stop the
internal hemorrhage. This was unsuc.
cessful. and Premier Delyannis died an
hour later.
The news spread quickly, and It
would be impossible to describe the
popular evidences OF sorrow or the an
ger of the crowd who attempted to
lynch the assassin. Lynching was pre-
vented by the gendarmes, who rushed
their prisoner from the building 10
prison.
1t is estimated that 10000 persons
followed the body Of the premier from
the Red Cross station to his late resi-
dence Members Of the cabinet and Of
the chamber of deputies were among
the crowd many of them weeping.
The cabinet met at the residence Of
the president Of the chamber, and Il
was decided that the body should lie in
state in the chamber before interment
King George, who is at Tatoi was
informed Of the assassination and an
nounced that he would at once return
TO Athens.
Investigation by the police shows
that Gherakaris was recently liberated
from prison. having been sentenced to
is years for the murder Of his wife.

one Of the powers signatory to the
Madrid convention of 1880, in answer
to the request of the sultan Of Morocco
to join in an international conference
for the consideration Of the Moroccan

satisfactory to France. The United

With the Pennsylvania Railroads eigh-
teen-hour train to Chicago actually maxi
ing the run on it's first test in sixteen
hours. the possibilities OF transcontinental
travel burst upon ones imagination With
startling force Chicago is something less
than 900 miles from New York city. San
Francisco is 5000 miles distant. Without
reckoning that competition in speed-mak-
ing, the Introduction and development Of
the electric motor for general railway
purposes and the other factors fastening
this country TO newer and faster trans
portation performances will probably
further cut down the running TIME be-
tween New York and Chicago. it is
very simple calculation TO conclude that
it is not either impossible or Improbable
that a special train, or perhaps one reg
uarly scheduled could cover the space
between New York and San Francisco
roughly three times that between New
York and Chicago-in three times the
hours needed for the trip from here TO

From Fifth to Fourth.

From the Buffalo Express.
We owe a promotion to Admiral
Togo, Of the japanese navy. by what
he did in battle a week ago, the
United States has risen from NTH to
fourth place among the naval powers
of the world. Before he moved on to
attack Rojestvensky. the list of powers
stood thus: Great Britain. France.
Russia, Germany, the United States
Italy Japan and Austria. When the
smoke had cleared away Russia had
sunk to seventh place in the list and
Germany this country. Italy and Japan
had an moved up one notch.
This shows how delicate thing Is
naval preponderanee. A single battle
changed the relative positions Of hve
Powers. But &C must be evident to
every one that a rating based upon
the number ana gun force on ships
was always be an ineXact one. The
men behind the gums nust be taken
into account. A big navy is not TO be
despised but a email navy, manned by
never-give-up crews, slilfully led and
we'll trained, cannot be despised.
either Russia held third place on tho
hst OF naval powers ten days ago. but
all men know now that she did not
deserve this place by her real strength.
Perhaps the list as Il now stands
|might be altered, IL personnel We're
taken into account as well as number
Of vessels But no one would put the
United states lower than fourth place

THE CROP REPORT
Neither Especially Favorable Nor Un
favorable This Week.

Neither Especially Favorable Nor Un-
favorable This Week.
Washington, June 1.-THE weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions issued is as follows:
The lake region and a part of the
upper Mississippi valley have suffered
from heavy rains, while the southern
states and the southern portion of the
central valleys are beginning to ex-
perience the effects Of drought As a
whole however, the weather was
favorable for the cultivation Of crops.
In the lake region and upper Ohio
valley the condition of corn is not
promising, owing largely to unfavor-
able effects of low temperature and ex-
cessive moisture, but in the states OF
the lower Ohio. upper Mississippi and
Missouri valleys the crop has made
good progress and. as a whole. has
shown decided Improvement.
Winter wheat harvest has begun as
far north as the central portions of
Kansas and Missouri and Southern II
linois, and is in full progress in the
more southerly sections, where the
yields are generally disappointing In
the more northerly portions of the
principal winter wheat states the crop
has generally done well, although
complaints of rust and insects con-
tinue in some sections, and heavy
rains in Michigan and Wisconsin have
caused lodging.
A general Improvement in the con
dition of spring wheat Is indicated.
