MUST ICE BE PUT IN
 WATER ON TRAINS ?
Georgia Railroad Commission Must De. eide an Interesting Point at It's
 Next Meeting.

Atlanta. August A--(Special. )-The state railroad commission received let ters today from A. N. Gay and A J. Jegg at Tallahassee. Fla, complaining that there was no ice water furnished the passengers on the train of the Geor- eta, Florida and Alabama railroad. on which they travelled from BraInbridee, Ga, to Tallahassee. and asking the com mission under the law to require the road to supply its patrons with something bet ter than warm water for drinking pur- poses.
 The complaint is rather an unusual one. Under the law railroads in Georgia are required to furnish their patrons with plenty of good. pure drinking water. |" The law says nothing about putting ice in 1t, and the question is as to what con- struction can be placed upon the word good in the summer time. Is any other water than ice water good for drinking purposes in hot weather7 This Is question for the commission to solve, and 1t will doubtless pass on 1t at its next meeting.

Crisis Approaches Rapidly.

Oyster Bay, August A.-A crisis in the peace negotiations Is approaching rapidly. Whether there is to be peace between Russia and Japan, or a continuance or the war will be determined very likely within a few days.
 Since he made his direct appeal to Elm peror Nicholas the President has been awaiting developments, hopeful that such efforts as he has felt proper to make to avert A failure of the Washington con- ference might not be futile. Today these developments began to appear. A report from Ambassador Meyer at St Petefs- bure of his audience with Emperor Nieho- las yesterday was received, ana Tn aual- tion some important advice from Ports- mouth reached the President. They were regarded as so urgent that as soon as thev were received in the executive or fees in the village they were carried to sapamore Hill by a trusted executive clerk
 : The utmost secrecy is maintained TO- rarding the negotiations, not the silsht- est intimation of the character or tnelr contents being permitted to become pup lie.
 . Communicates With Both Powers.
 If Is quite certain now that In addition to making a direct appeal to the Rus sian Emperor to take such measures as may bring the pending negotiations to successful issue, President Roosevelt has communicated with the Japanese govern ment along similar lines. Whether the appeal was made directly to the Emperor or Japan, as in the case of Emperor Nlch- olas, cannot be ascertained, as no offl- cial confirmation Is given to the state- ment that such a communication has been forwarded. An impression is likely to be created by some recent reports of the President activity that he is exerting the powerful Influence he wields to force the envoys into some sort of agreement From the jneipIeney of the negotiations the Pres ident has been actuated by motives of the sincerest friendship for both of the bellig- erents and by a desire to do all that In him lies to terminate conflict so san euinary that 1t has shocked the entire civilized world. Moved by a profound de- sire to restore peace, the President has lent his good offices to the representa- lives of both of the warning powers, bu' fe has refrained from any effort whlef might be regarded as offensive either by Russia or Japan He has maintained his position as an Intermediary, making suggestions when suggestions were re- anested and giving counsel when it was sought.
 Appreciated Ills Efforts.
 Impressed by the belief that an agree ment can be reached by the envoys after full discussion and thorough consider ation of all phases of the question at is' sue President Roosevelt finally has ap- pealed for peace to the St. Petersburg and Tolsio governments, communicating his appeals simultaneously to the envoys themselves Such suggestions as he has offered, and such propositions as he has made were for the consideration of the plenipotentiaries and were presented with a view to facilitating their labors. It is known that both the Russian and Japa- nese governments appreciate the disinter- ested friendship of the President and that. both have expressed that apprecia. ton Of his efforts to insure Tasting
