Response From Russia and

AWAIT THE PRESIDENT
ARMISTICE MAY BE DECLARED
THIS WEEK.
It is Expected That Preliminaries Of
Peace Conference Will Be
Quickly Arranged.

The replies of both the Japanese and the
Russian governments to the President s

House this evening

offer of good wll'' reached the State De-
partment in a cablegram from Minister
Griscom. Russia's reply followed later, but

These replies, as has been stated, are
favorable TO a meeting of representatives
of the two governments in an effort to ar
range terms of peace. The replies will not
be made public until after the return of the
President
The procedure In this case will be for
the President TO notify each government
of the reply of the other and then to
act in whatever way may be determined
upon to bring the representatives together
Japan's acceptance reached the State De
partment several hours ahead of Russia s
reply. Had the cablegram from Ambassa-
dor Meyer reached here before the depart
ment closed there Is a strong probabi
that both would have been made public
yesterday No word regarding their char
acter can be obtained beyond the important
fact that both are acceptances and both
express the gratitude of the respective gov
ernments for the Presidents offer of good
will.

CONSPIRACY ALLEGED
Petition Filed in the Depart
ment of Justice.
RAILROADS ACCUSED
OF COMBINING IN RESTRAINT OF
TRADE.
Discrimination Asserted Against Ter.
ritory South of the Ohio and East
of the Mississippi.

A petition was filed in the Department of
justice yesterday praying that the govern
ment take action against various railroads
and traffic associations operating in the
territory south of the Ohio and east of the
Mississippi rivers with the view to restrain
the carriers from continuing In an alleged
conspiracy In restraint of trade. The pet-
ton containing the charges was presented
to Attorney General Moody by delegation
representing the Receivers and Shippers
Association of Cincinnati.
1t was the intention of the petitioners to
take the matter up directly with the Presi-
dent, but owing to his absence II was neces-
sary to present 1t to Attorney General
Moody. 1.-THE interests involved and the fea-
lures raised are very farreaching and the
case promises to be almost as important as
the Northern Securities case Should the
administration decide to embark upon an
action like this against an alleged railroad
combination il will cause stir equal to

Determined in a General Way

II is believed that in a general way the
terms on which Russia will sign "a treaty Of
peace and the limits of the Japanese de-
mands have been determined and that each
country understands what is expected Of
Il This understanding will not prevent
long negotiations and possibly strained re-
lations at times between the members of
the peace council. There will be bluffs
and attempts to gain advantages in the ex-
act drawing up of the terms of peace. But
4. Is still believed that the understanding
that probably EXISTS will be. effective in
bringing the representatives of the two ma
uons together without any further re-
sumption of hostiities.
1t is expected the President will act
promptly when he returns to the city this
evening. Events will move forward at a
rapid pace so far as the preliminary work
is concerned of getting the peace COM
missioners to work.

An Armistice This Week.

1t Is expected that under this plan an
armistice can be arranged by next Tues
day or Wednesday by which hostilties will
cease pending the meeting of the plenipo-
tentiarles, which will probably be in this
city, as the most neutral ground that can
be selected. In fact. for all purposes, hos
tinties are now believed 10 have been
brought to end for the present, as il is
not expected that either of the hostile
armies will move to attack the other in
view of the early declaration of an arms-
tice.
The rapid manner in which President
Roosevelt has brought about an under
standing in favor of a meeting of the rep
resentatives TO Russia and Japan was the
Ub1ect of general comment in diplomatic
circles last evening. Among the diplomats
II was supposed that there would be ne
gotiatiOns lasting at least two or three
weeks before the condition that exists now
could be reached. The ready response Of
the two powers TO the Identical note of
the President shows what care was exer-
cised in making preliminary arrangements.
