PROSPECTS OF PEACE
St. Petersburg Situation Not
Very Encouraging.
CZAR AND GRAND DUKES
DECLARED TO BE FOR WAR TO
THE BITTER END.
Relying Upon Gen. Linevitch to Re
trieve Russian Losses in His
Field Operations.

President Roosevelt, striving with
prospects OF success to end the
bloody war, is now the central figure
of the worlds stage. One of the
main obstacles, it seems, will be
overcome once both Japan and Rus
sia have agreed to accept his good
offices for the arrangement of the
preliminaries. The belligerents are
expected to be able to arrange the
peace terms direct.
The President is believed to share
with Emperor William the view that
the beligerents should be allowed
to settle the actual terms without
outside interference. Evidence also
exists that President Roosevelt has
secured the support OF several con-
tinental powers, and that at the
proper time they will appear at his
back.
Exactly what is transplrlng at
Washington is being carefully
guarded. The diplomats here are
still greatly at sea. not being able
to do more than venture a shrewd
guess and indulge in speculation.
The interest with which the moves
on the Washington chessboard are
being followed is evidenced by the
manner in which the ambassadors
and ministers who learned of Am
bassador Meyers audience OF En-
peror Nicholas yesterday hocked to
the American embassy in St. Peters
burg today in search OF information.
But the situation seems to be so
delicate that the ambassador is COM
PEELED to display the most complete
reserve. If Japan proves moderate
in her demands peace seems at last
to be close ahead.
An armistice probably will be the
first evidence the world will have
that the two powers have agreed to
shake hands.
Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, June S.-Trustworthy Russian ad-
vices. received today, outline the situation
at st. Petersburg follows: The czar and
the grand dukes, relying upon Gen. Line
witch to retrieve Rojestvensky's disaster,
are for war TO the bitter end.
The party led by Count Lamsdorff, the
foreign minister, backed by friendly sug-
gestions from certain of the powers is
seeking to induce the czar to obtain an
armisuce, during which steps might be
taken to obtain Japans peace terms. y
Should these prove unacceptable it is
contended the armistice would. in no way
interfere with the resumption of hostilities
when il had expired.

Ten days ago Cooperstown
got a notion that it was time to
challenge for the cup and as the
10th day fell on Sunday Hanna
ford was given until Monday to
get into trim. Mondays ex-
press brought the club from the
village down on the creek and
the Cup-Hyde brought that.
Getting off the train with a smile
on his face like a Is cent slice of
watermelon he announced to the
many admires of the Cup, of the
string which Hannaford had
attached to the cup and which
was going back with them-the
string.
At the hour of one and thirty
saw the team all warm up and
ready for the battle royal-and
it was one-and they were all in
the game from start to finish.
Dretchko and Grangaard were
the battery for the locals while
Billy Sinclair and Nelson were
the battery for Hannaford. The
game was called by E. w. Black.
well, and who handled the, indi-
Gator satisfactorily to all. The
locals took the field and the game
was on, the first three batters
facing Dretchko went down like
grain before the sickle. Then
the locals came in for a try at
the willow and the way they
went at it was heart rendering
to the Hannaford fans,-the boys
having found their batting eye
an1 with two hits few bad
breaks by the Hannafordites the
locals crossed the pan four
times. The first half of the
second opened for Hannaford
like the first, they being unable
to find the ball at all and again
the fast bunch down the line
went out in one.two.three order.
The last half of the second netted
CoOperstOwn two more runs,
getting two hits and assisted by
one error. From then on until
the end of the game it was a con
tinual performance of good fast
playing by both teams, but
Dretchko was out to win and win
he did. The Hannaford pitche,
Little Billy-did not pitch his
usual good game or else the
boys were after him, we cam
say which-possibly w. S. Hyde
might enlighten you. Never
the less it was a good game and
greatly enjoyed by all present
and game the fans would q
