FOR CONFERENCE CITY.


Washington, June 15.--Gradually
the negotiations for peace in the Fan
East are nearing a focus. The one
point to which the energies of those d.
rectly concerned in them now are being
directed is the choice of a place for
holding the conference of the plenipo-
tentiaries of the belligerents.
1t is known officially that three cities
are under consideration by Russia and
Japan. These cities, named in the
order of the likelihood of their final se-
lection, are Washington, The Hague
and Geneva.
Thus far no decision has been reach
ed. Paris and London have been elm
mated from the question. 1t is under
stood that the Russian government OBJ
jects to an Asiatic city, its preference
being for some European capital. After
objecting to the holding of the confer
ence in Paris, the japanese government
expressed willingness to consider 9TH
er places which afforded adequate facil-
tiles, although it is assumed that ia
pans preference would be for some Far
Eastern city practically within the
theater OF war. Finally, however, the
selection seems to have narrowed down
to the three cities named.

WOULD LESSEN
HUMILIATION
President Believes immigration Off
GERS Should Exercise Discretion
Bogus Certificates May es Fur
chased by Coolies Given as Cause
of Trouble.

Washington, June is. - President
Roosevelt is manifesting deep inter
est in the statements made to him last
Monday by delegation of members OF
the American Asiatic association con-
corning the difficulties which hitherto
have been experienced by Chinese mer-
chants, students, travellers and literary
men in gaining admission To this coun-
try. The complaints of the Chinese
government about the alleged humilia-
ton to which members of those classes
Of Chinese are often subjected upon
their arrival in the United States, to-
Qether with the threats Of the CONNER
cial guilds Of China to retaliate by boy
cotting American-made goods, have
aroused the business men of this coun-
try to protest against what they have
regarded as unreasonable discrimina-
ton in the enforcement of the Chinese
exclusion laws.
In letter to Secretary Metcalf, OF
the Department of Commerce and La
Dor, the president directs him to see
that the immigration officers exercise
discretion in the enforcement of the
exclusion law, to the end that the re-
lations Of this government with China
may continue to be cordial.
1t is pointed out that great difficulty
is experienced by the immigration Off
Gals in executing the law, because Of
the many bogus certificates which are
presented by Chinese. 1t is well
understood fact that for consideration
a Chinese coolie may procure in China
a certificate that he is q merchant or
traveller or a member OF the other ex-
empt classes. On its face the certif-
cate entities him to admission to the
United States. So many frauds have
been discovered in the matter of these
certificates that the immigration Off
Gals examine all of them most care
fully. That fact accounts for the
trouble experienced by genuine mer-
chants, travellers. etc.

Washington, June 90. - The depart.
| ment OF Commerce and Labor has com

United Statos TIE five agents selected
are; Professor Lincoln Hutchinson.
University OF California; Charles M !.
Pepper; Harry r.. Burrill; Raymond +.
Crist and DR.. Edward Bedloe.
As the appropriation is only $780,

fields of Investigation in order that the

sentation to congress early in the APP
preaching session. Messrs. Burrill
and Crist will go to the Orient. Pro
lessor Hutchinson will 90 to South
America, and has already entered upon
bis work. He will visit all the ports
OF the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of
that continent.

subsequently to Mexico, extending his
Investigations to the Central American
countries. DIR. Bedloe will be sent to
the West Indies, Venezuela, British.

DODGE IMMIGRATION LAW.
inspectors Discover Men in London
Who Post Undesirables.

London, June II. - Marcus Braun
and Mr.. Fischberg, the American in
spectors who have been inspecting the
emigration from Continental countries
to the United States, having concluded
their labors in Austria, Hungary and
Russian Poland, respectively, are now
looking up the conditions prevailing at
the embarking points of the big At
lantic liners.
Messrs. Braun and Fischberg say
that the steamship companies have in
augurated very strict inspection of
emigrante, but that even in London
persons claiming to be agents of the
companies are publishing guarantees to
secure the admission of any emigrant
to the United States for few pounds
in addition to the fare. How the sub
agents carry out this agreement is now
under investigation by the inspectors.

Before Peace Negotiations Can Begin.
Greatest Battle of the Far Easter n

London, June 1.-THE practical Ger.
tainty now that the peace negotiations

TO the conviction that another battle

ing to the Daily TeIegraph's Tientain
correspondent, a Japanese forward
movement has already commenced, in

The Daily Telegraph's Toxic CORE
spondent gives an interesting idea OF
the situation FROM correspondent who
is said to be In good position to know
the actual facts. This correspondent
says that the principal Russian depot
ID at Gnnshu Pass, whence many light
railways are being constructed north
ward to facilitate retreat. Lieutenant
General Linievitch, bewildered by the
strategy of the Japanese, is making
repeated reconnaissances and throwing
out innumerable scouts. Nevertheless,
at the present moment, the correspond
ent says, all his army is completely
enveloped.

JUDGE FACES DISGRACE.


Supreme Justice Hooker.
| New York, June 20, - For the frs
time In its history, the legislature 0
New York will meet In special session
this summer for the purpose OF form
ally expelling justice of the suprem
court.
| The Last time that this power of til,
legislature was invoked was during tn,
exposures following Tweed's downfall
when three Supreme cour. Justices who
bad worked hand In hand with the ole
Tammany boss, were stripped OF Their
judicial ermine. But that was at q
regular session.
The machinery Of the law Ia now be.
ing invoked by Republican governor
to enable a legislature overwhelmingly
Republican In both branches to retire a
Republican Judge.
The person who will be- removed ID
Warren b. Hooker, long congress
man and longer still an influential Re-
publican politician In the upper section
o. the state. There Ia not doubt in
the world but that he will be put out.
and every big Republican In the state
has begged and implored him to resign,
but he Ia stubborn.
New York state rewards It's judicial
officers more literally than any other
section OF the Union. In New York
city a justice OF she Supreme court re-
ceives sl7 300 year for IA years, witt.
court day lasting from IL to /, and
2 to $3.50 or 4, together with nearly
four months vacation In summer. And
tbs United States su 2reme court, the
highest judicial tribunal in the land,
only pays 10000. Hooker Ia an ''up-
state judge" but was transferred here
by the governor soon after he ascended
the bench, and, In consequence, Is paid
AZ highly as the men who were elected
by the city voters.
The charges against Hooker are
many, and are involved in the case
against Machan, the celebrated, or
rather, notorious, postal official.
Hooker's young nephew wanted
money 70 no through college. Hooker
bad him appointed clerk In post
office. He never did any work, but he
drew the salary.
A man In the district owed Mrs.
Hooker, wife OF the Judge. ~, 800. He
was promptly appointed letter car
rier, and each month turned over his
check to Mrs, Hooker. This man adj
mitted on the stand that he never did
any work for the government and never
expected to. He simply adopted an
easy way, suggested to him, to pay off
a bill.
A building owned by the Judge was
leased by the government for a post
office at what was admittedly an sx-
orbitant rental. Despite this the
amount was twice raised at intervals
OF q few months.

Lewiston - The condemnation n,0
ceedings over the site for the new in
sane asylum at Orofno have been ended
with the report of the appraisers that
the 104 acres in question are worth
50, 600.
The law provides that Indian lands
may be condemned for state purposes
and provides for the appointment Of 4
board of appraisers to fix upon thu
value of the land in question. In thin
case the 104 acres wanted by the asy.
lum commission was owned by Louise
Adams. Her father, Charles Adams
an Indian, was her guardian. and tbs
condemnation suit was brought against
them both. 1t was purely friendly
suit.
This clears up the title and the com.
mission can start work any time The
money for the purchase of this tract
was advanced by Governor Gooding out
OF his own pocket until the money ID
receipved from the sale of the bonds.
The purchase of the site having been
completed, the commission will be able
to proceed with the preliminary work
before the money from the sale Of the
bonds arrives, SO that when the money
does come actual work of construction
can be started.

DON'T BE TOO HARD ON U.s.
Plea of Russian Papers to Japan =
Some Suspect America.

Plea of Russian Papers to Japan =
Some Suspect America.
st. Petersburg, June 49, The press
of all shades OF opinion is discussing
Japan's probable terms and declares
with practical unanimity for continu.
alton OF the war rather than the accept
ance of humiliating conditions. In
this the newspapers are upheld by pub
lie opinion, which is steering around
to support of the war policy if Japan s
terms prove too hard.
Only the Nashi Shisn advises Russia
that she need not balk at the payment
Of an indemnity, the cession of the
Sakhalin islands, the remuneration OF
her right to keep warships in Far East
ern waters or the surrender of Vladi-
vostok, but the paper holds that Russia
must retain Northern Manchuria and
the Vladivostok railroad.
The Bourse Gazette draws gloomy
picture of Russia's relations with
France, Great Britain, Germany and
Austria. The Novoe Vremya and the
reactionary SWEET sound notes against
the United States. The Novoe Vremya
reiterates that Russia's chief enemies
in the Far East are not the Japanese,
but the British and the Americans, on
account Of their commercial rivalry,
while the Sviet objects to Washington
as the place of meeting of the pleni-
potentiaries, declaring that the atmos-
phere there is unfriendly, and asserting
that Russia's representatives will be
subjected to prejudical influences in
the capitol of the enemy's ally"

BAD AIR IN THE SUBWAY.
Scientist States that Gases May Ex-
pode as in Mines.

New York, June 19.-Foulness of air
in the subway has reached the satee
when the fainting of women is of al
most daily occurrence and the indica-
lions are that as the summer advances
conditions will grow worse. Nicola
Tesla makes statement that indicates
that the poisonous character of the sub-
way air is not its most dangerous
characteristic, but that it is really a
violently explosive union of gases that
may at any time cause such a catas-
trophe as is occasionally reported from
deep mines. Tesla in his statement
says in part
THE danger to which | refer lies in
the possibility of generating an explos-
i've mixture by electrolytic decomposi-
ton and thermic disassociation of
water through direct currents used in
the operation of the cars. Such nro-
cess might go on for hours and davs
without being noticed, and with Cur
rents of this kind it is scarcely practi-
cable to avoid it altogether.

England Stands Ready

London, June l9.-It is probable that
the crisis that Germany is forcing mon
Inc nations OF Europe will soon assume
a new phase. Every move thus far
made by the kaiser has been aimed at
france, although chiefly designed to
damage British interests. The British
government has not the slightest desire

exposed neighbor. There is reason
to believe that lord Lansdowna

Roosevelt has interested himself in

that both these streams are we'll stock

Warsaw, June 20. - In connection
with the discussion of the proposed law
which prohibits Jews obtaining the
right to the National assembly, the
Warsaw Socialists yesterday organized
a street demonstration, ostensiblv to
protest. A procession was started 10.
ward the Jewish quarters, and when il
reached the principal street there it
was fired upon by the soldiers and two
persons were seriously wounded. The
soldiers then charged the crowd and
wounded number of persons with the
butt ends OF their rifles.
