CAR ASKS PEACE TERMS
Presidents Friendly Offices Accepted
BY Russian Ministers.

by russian MINISTERS.
st. Petersburg, June S.-As a result
of the meeting Of the council of minis
tiers held at Tsarskoe Selo. instructions
were telegraphed to the Russian am
bassadors at Washington and Paris TO
the effect that Russia is DESTROYS of
learning Japan's peace conditions.
With Ambassador Meyers delivery
10 the emperor yesterday afternoon of
President Roosevelt's message tender
ing his good Offices. the prospect CT the
presidents ei.orts to bring the bellig.
erents together in peace negotiations
Is believed to be distinctly brighter.
1t is equally evident that the situa-
ton is an exceedingly delicate one.
Ambassador Meyer. when seen by the
Associated Press absolutely declined to
say a word regarding his visit to Tsars-
koe Selo, the mission with which he Is
charged or the emperor's response.
The centre of interest is again trans
ferred back to Washington. Count
Cassini has doubtless received instruc-
lions from the emperor. However. 1t
will probably require some little time
TO finally decide whether success shall
crown the presidents efforts to end
the war. The fact of Ambassador Mey-
er's visit to Tsarskoe Selo is as yet
known only In the higher official cir
cles. many diplomats even being en-
tirely unaware of this important event;
but where II is known it has created
intense interest.
In the meantime 1t must be stated
that there is not the slightest surface
indication OF any change in the situa-
ton regarding the continuation of the
war.
Preparations to send additional troops
20 the front continue. A new draft OF
horses from Poland has been made
and a further mobilization of men In
the province OF Moscow is announced

NEGOTIATIONS FOR
PEACE UNDER WAY
President Roosevelt Acts as"Friendly
Channel of Communication.
CAR ASKS JAPANESE TERMS

Washington. June s. = Preliminary
peace negotiations between Russia and
Japan are generally believed TO be
under way. and it is conceded that
President Roosevelt will in all prob
ability act. not as a mediator. but as
"the friendly channel of communities
ton" There is as yet no official ad-
mission that Russia has accepted what
Count Cassini in his cablegram to
Count Lamsdorff last week described
as the offer OF good will of the presi-
dent" although instructions to the am
bassador are believed to have reached
here in long cablegram which reach
ed the Russian embassy quite late and
was laid before the ambassador after
he had started to retire. After reading
the dispatch the ambassador retired
for the night at an hour earlier than
usual All that can be authoritatively
said regarding this cablegram is that
Il concerned Count Cassini's cable
gram of last week. No appointment
has yet been made for the ambassador
TO see the president, but by one close
to Count Cassini II was said that II
was expected some appointment might
be made within the next day or two.
Immediately upon his return to his
legation after a long conference with
the president, Mr.. Takahira. the Japa-
nese minister, began the preparation
Of a dispatch to his government. upon
which he was occupied until quite late.
For the first time since the annihila-
ton of the Russian fleet the minister
did not feel at liberty to comment
upon any phase of the situation. THE
situation is too delicate in this mo-
ment for me to say anything" he re-
marked. when there is something
definite perhaps may have something
to say. But I do not expect anything
definite for some days" II can be
stated that the president. through Mr..
Takahira, is endeavoring to get some
definite idea regarding Japan's peace
terms. Mr.. Takahira is giving him all
most he can do Is to inform his gov
eminent of the presidents wishes and
to emphasize his personal conviction
that the president can be trusted abso-
lutely to guard Japan's legitimate in
terests. Indeed, a fortunate phase of
the present situation is that both Mr..
Takahira and Count Cassini are per-
sonally convinced of the president
absolute impartiality and sincerity of
purpose In the delicate undertaking
which he has shouldered.

Postal Regulations.

The authorities at Washington have
issued some regulations worth having
in mind in regard to persons taking
mail out of the postoflice other than
their own. As all persons are liable to
make mistakes in getting mail matter
in wrong boxes, this new regulation re-
quires people to examine their mail be-
fore leaving the Office, and should they
find a piece not addressed to them they
must return it at once, or be liable to
fine of 5000. That it is fault of
the postmaster makes no difference
The too common practice of opening
such letters and then writing on the
envelope "opened by mistake" and
dropping them back into the postoffice
won't go any longer.

Americas own need of manhood

Heart trouble is almost always
