London, June 9.--Much satisfaction
is expressed in official and diplomatic
circles here at the apparent success
of President Roosevelt in bringing
Russia and Japan together for the pur-
pose of ending the war. Since his ar
rival here, Whitelaw Reid, the Ameri-
can ambassador, has been in close and
| frequent communication with the for
| eign office. Ambassador Reid is not
willing at the present juncture to dis
close the result of his visits but appar-
| emily he is well pleased with the pro-
gress of the negotiations, as, after a
busy week socially and officially, Am
bassador and Mrs. and Miss Reid will
leave London tomorrow to spend
week with Earl Egerton of Tatton.
Other embassies are without any infor
nation. Russian official circles now
think that peace is probable, or at
least that cessation of hostilities is
pending in the endeavor to bring
about a meeting of the representatives
of the two powers. 1t is pointed out
that from the first Russia has declared
her preference of negotiating with ia
pan direct and President Roosevelt is
apparently acting on that line in ar
ranging the preliminaries for direct
negotiations between Japan and Rus
sia
Every European Power in Favor of
Peace.
st. Petersburg, June 9.-The evf-
dence accumulates that President
Roosevelt's efforts in behalf of peace
have been supported by practically
every European power by the trans
mission of messages through their
representatives at the belligerents'
capitals that it is the SOL
emn conviction of their respective
governments that the time has arrived
for the warning countries to conclude
peace. 1t is not believed that Japan
will divulge her terms until the pleni-
potentiaries meet. The ambassador of
one of the great powers expressed the
opinion to the Associated Press that
the exchanges would not occur at eth
er Washington or any European capi-
