Washington, Special. - Preliminary
peace negotiations between Russia and
Japan are generally believed to be un-
der way and it is conceded that Pres
ident Roosevelt will in all probability
act not as mediator, but as "the friend
ly channel of communication" There
is as yet no official confirmation that
Russia has accepted what Count Cas-
sini. in his cablegram to Count Lams-
dorff last week described as "the offer
OF go4 will OF the President" al
though instructions to the ambassador
are $elieved to have reached here late
Wednesday night in a long cablegram
received at the Russian embassy and
which was laid before the ambassador
after he had started to retire. After
reading the dispatch the ambassador
retired for the night at an hour ear
lier than Usual. All that can be au-
thoritatively said regarding this cable
gram is that it concerned Count Cas-
sini's cablegram Of last week.
Immediately upon his return to his
legation, after a long conference with
the President, Mr.. Takahira, the Jap
anese minister, began the preparation
Of dispatch to his government, upon
which he was occupied until quite late.
At the White House up to late hour
1t was declared that the important
cablegram from Mr. Meyer had not yet
reached here.
JAPANESE MINISTER CALLS.
Diplomatic Washington was aroused
to a point Of expectancy unequaled
since the inception Of the war in the
Far East by the news from st. Peters
burg of the Cars wish to know ia
pans terms of peace. The interest was
heightened by a call which Mr.. Taxa
hira, the Japanese minister, made at
thu White House by appointment dur
ing the evening. He called shortly af-
ter 9 o'clock and Immediately went
into conference with the President
They remained together about twenty
minutes. When the minister left he de-
clined to answer any questions about
his call. The bulletin announcing the
cabling of a message to the Russian
ambassadors at washington and Paris
that Russia wished to know Japan's
terms OF peace was Immediately COM
municated to the diplomats most in
terested.
RUSSIAN EMBASSY BESEIGED.
1t was not long before the Russian
embassy was besieged with callers,
but the ambassador was without ad-
vices on the subject.
The President had confded to the
ambassador, who called at the White
House, that he expected Ambassador
Meyer to be received at Tsarkoe-Selo.
The instructions to M. Meyer did not
provide for a formal tender Of good Of
fees. While it is impossible to give
their text, they may be correctly para
phrased in these words:
Find out from the Car what we
can do to assist an early peace" Much

CAR ASKING FOR TERMS

Continuing the Hopeless Struggle

cretion OF Mr.. Meyer as to the manner
and words in which the friendly readi-
ness OF this government in the present
moment should be made known to the
Car.
SAW CAR AFTER REPORT.
Care was also taken that Mr.. Mey-
er's conference with the Car should
not occur until Count Cassini's report
had reached Tsarkoe-Selo. 1t can be
stated very emphatically that in trans
hitting faithful report Of what oc-
Cured at the White House last Fri
day afternoon Count Cassimi empha-
sized the sympathetic and friendly
frankness with which the President.
speaking informally and personally, ex-
pressed his strong desire for peace.
Contact" remarked European
ambassador, SIS what the President has
been endeavoring to establish between
Russia and Japan. To do this 1t was
necessary to obtain from one side or
the other some expression favorable to
peace. Japan has refrained absolutely
from giving any indication as to what
her terms would be, on the ground that
this would be interpreted by Russia as
sign of weakness.
JAPAN'S ATTITUDE.
Whether upon receiving from Count
Cassini an official expression that the
Car wishes to know the Mikado
peace terms the President will be able
to obtain a statement on this sub
ject from Japan, remains to be SEEN
Diplomats, however, recall the state
ment of Mr.. Takahira some days aGo
to the effect that when Russia really
wanted to know Japan's terms she
could easily find them out without
communicating directly with Toxic.
1t is declared on good authority that
thus far no circular has been au-
dressed to the American ambassadors
abroad, but that their instructions have
been informal, though dictated directly
from the White House.

Pending Delivery to the United
States.

Montreal, Stecial.-Judge LaFon-
taine extradition commissioner, gave
Judgment in the case of the United
States VS.. John F. Gaynor and Benja-
min D. Greene, committing both for
extradition and ordering them back 70
tail to await surrender to United States
officers. In rendering Judgment, Judge
LaFontaine spoke for two hours and a
half. Summing up, he said:
"My conclusion is that the allegation
of the conspiracy to defraud the United
States as being in existence between
Carter and the accused on or about
July 1st, 1897, is proven to the hilt.
Second, that Carter was guilty In
the United States and convicted OF en-
bezzlement, which offence is knowE
under our laws by the term OF theft,
the difference in the name Of the OIL
fense in the two countries being Inn
material: that the accused have partic-
ipated by their conspiracy with Car
ter in the embezzlement so committed
by him; that such participation is pun
ishable by the laws Of both countries
and is an extraditable crime. Conse-
uuently, I determine that the accused
must be committed to Jail peadin2
surrender" -
May Be Further Delay.
Washington, Special.-The Associat-
ed Press dispatch from Montreal, stat
ing that Judge EaFontaine had render
ed his decision committing Greene and
Gaynor for surrender to the United
States authorities was shown to the
Attorney General. When questioned as
to what further rights Of appeal Greene
and Gaynor had, it was stated at the
Department of Justice that the prison
ers would have fifteen days from the
date Of Judge LaFontaines decision In
which to apply for a writ OF haDeas
corpus. This proceeding, il taken, would
come before aLother judge, who VIII
have the power to discharge the pris-
oners or to re-commit them for surren-
der, in which case they will be surren-
dered within two months from the dats
OF such recommittal.

Ease.
.SPEER'S EXPLOSION.
Little Fellow Was Knocked
Out.
The White SOx Got Plenty of
Hits.

Leavenworth, Kan, July 22.-The
explosion of Curly Speer. noted for his
dime novel digesting proclivities, gave
the White Sox four runs in the first
inning here on Friday afternoon and
the game. Five hits were garnered off
his slants in this one round. He again
took up the duties of the firing line in
the second. A couple of more bingles
were cracked out. and Armstrong
yanked him out of danger and sent
Ashley on the rubber as the relief
guard.
But the fat was in the fire by that
time. Seven hits in an inning and one
half closed the gates on the Wood
pecker gang. Against them was ar
rayed one Thomas Hughes, in full
possession of all his wonderful wing
and he laid the Convicts low. Not a
single time were they able to send a
inning the joy of the Leavenworth
fans was great. Three men got on the
sacks with no one out Hughes tight
ened up and struck out the next two
men, while the third was an easy out
on a grounder.
The latter part of the game was a
little farcical, so caused by the White
Sox after they saw that the victory was
theirs. This was not to the entire hk-
ing of the patrons either.
Quisser and Howey did the umpir-
ing, regular staff man not putting in
an appearance, Hiser, Topeka's pick
up fielder, was in Abbott's place in
centerfield, and got q brace of hits.

With Each Day Favorable to the

CONFIDENCE

New York, July 22.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Hot weather tended to retard ac-
tivity in many productive undertakings
and postponed forward business that
could be delayed without loss, but ac-
tolerated the consumption of seasonable
merchandise and advanced the crops
much nearer maturity. Confidence in
the future increases with each day
favorable for harvesting, and much of
the winter wheat is now beyond dan
ger, while late corn is rapidly regain
ing lost ground. Inquiries indicate a
general disposition to provide for
large volume of fall and winter BUSH
ness, clothing manufacturers receiy
ing liberal orders from travelling sales
men. Real estate transfers are large,
and building operations numerous.
There is comparatively little Interrupt
ton from labor disputes. and the net
result in all commercial and manu-
featuring branches is exceptionally sat
isfactory for this midsummer period.
Some improvement is noted in the de-
mand for pig iron which has been the
least active of the industrial undertake
fngs, while footwear factories are less
eager to secure forward business be-
cause of another advance in hides.
Textile mills are busy but the varia-
tons in cotton have unsettled the pri-
mary market for goods, while woolens
are strengthened by the steadiness of
raw wool at the highest point in many
years.
Railway earnings thus far reported
for July exceed last years by IA per
cent.

BradStreeI'S says.
"A widespread hot wave has re-
tarded distributive trade and interfered
with manufacturing industry but has
stimulated crop growth and thereby
strengthened the outlook for fall trade.
Retail trade in summer goods has
been benefited by the heat, as has also
summer resort business. Wholesale
and jobbing trade is of good volume
considering the weather, and COM
pares we'll with a year ago. Confidence
in fall trade is unimpaired, and there
is a more liberal tendency in placing
fall orders. More activity in pig iron
has led to stronger tone and higher
prices for that product in leading
markets. The quieting in industrials
is more of a temporary character
Manufacturing is really more active
than usual at this time, and summer
shut-doWns are not such a feature this
year as in former periods. Money
has been remarkably easy for this
season of the year, considering the
