ROOSEVELT URGES
ON PEACE FARLEY
Americas Chief Executive Sees
Danger in General Engage
ment in Manchuria.
Fears Battle, Whatever the Re-
suit, Would Make Null His
Peace Move.

Washington. June l9.-While the dip
lomats of Europe are waging their bat
ties of. the wits in the struggle for
dominant power in the old world. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is bending every effort
toward Fastening the Russo-Japanese
gagement between Oyama and Line
witch s vast armies in Manchuria.
The precipitation of great battle
at the present stage of the peace nego-
tlations would be regarded here as
most unfortunate error Of Judgment
an error which might imperil seriously
the negotiations for the conference. In
deed, it is believed in some quarters
that whatever might be the result of
such conflict, it would arouse so much
bitterness that the negotiations, the
status of which is now so favorable.
would collapse.
Hopes for Success.
While the progress of the prelimi-
nary negotiations for peace between the
far eastern belligerents is necessarily
slow at this stage of the proceedings,
it is known that President Roosevelt
hopes they may be practically complet-
ed before he shall 20 to Oyster Bay for
the summer. His desire to facilitate the
negotiations induced him to reconsider
his original plan to go to Oyster Bay
Jn1S week. After his visit to WOrces-
ter and Williamstown, Mass, where he
will go to attend the commencement
exercises of Clark university and Will
hams college, he will return to Wash
in'gton, arriving here next Friday
morning.
It is expected that if nothing unfore-
seen shall have occurred in the mean
time, some definite announcement of
the status will be made soon after his
return.
There is a possibility even that the
selection of the plenipotentiaries Of
both Russia and Japan may be an
nounced before the president leaves to-
morrow night for Massachusetts.
To Meet in Washington.
A final determination on Washington
as the seat of conference having been
reached, the president, in common with
the political world, is awaiting the ac-
ton of the belligerent nations as to
their peace ENJOYS. With that part Of
the program the president naturally
has nothing to do. When the selec-
lions have been made the names of the
ENJOYS of the respective governments
will be communicated to the president.
BY him in turn they will be communi-
Gated to the governments in interest
and formally announced to the world.

In the Chamotu district our advanced

In the Tasiamotun district our detach-
ment after dislodging the enemy's cav

ern Liaoyangwopeng and to the east
ward; between and $3.50 and o'clock
we completely occupied Liaoyangwo-

Cavalry sheIIed.
Our right column, after driving the
enemys cavalry before it, occupied
Lochuanpou, nine miles east of Lao
yangwopeng. This column again shelled
the enemy's cavalry, retreating north to
the northward, inficting heavy injury.
The enemy was finally thrown into great
confusion.
The entire column poured fierce fire
upon a thousand of the enemys cavalry,
retreating to the northward of Lao
yangwopeng, and succeeded in inflicting
heavy damage. According to prisoners
twenty-five guns, forming part of Cen
eral Mistchenko's army, occupied Lao
yangwopeng. The main force retreated
northward and parts of 1t to the north
eastward and northwestward in disorder.
Enemy Panic Stricken.
There are evidences that the enemy
was panic stricken and utterly confused.
Abandoned provisions and clothing indi-
cate the great difficulty the enemy had
in carrying off supplies.
In retreating the enemy fired a house
south of Liaoyangwopeng, and 1t is pre-
sumed they intended to incinerate their
dead.
Our casualties were thirty killed ana
1856 wounded. The number of the ,ene-.
mys casualties is not certain. His dead
left in front of the center column num-
bered, eighty, and therefore the total
Russian losses in all seem to be great.

today. The firm is said to be involved
to the extent Of between $4,000 and

The failure is attributed to the fact
that the firm has recently favored the

CROP REPORT OF
WEATHER BUREAU
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION
FROM THE GOVERNMENT.
Spring Wheat Generally Promising.
Winter Wheat Harvest in Pro.
gress-Good Corn Weather.

Washington, July 1.-THE weather
bureau, in its weekly crop summary,
issued today. says:
In portions of South Dakota and
Minnesota spring wheat on lowlands
has suffered from oyerfiows, but else
where in the spring wheat region the
crop is in promising condition. Rust
continues in South Dakota and Mime
| sofa and is beginning to apear in North
Dakota. The crop is now heading in
the northern portions of Minnesota
and North Lakota. Spring wheat con-
tinues promising on the North Pacific
coast.
Winter wheat harvest continues in
the most northern districts and is
| largely finished elsewhere. Rainy
weather has extensively interfered with
threshlng, and has caused damage to
grain in shock in the portions of the
Middle Atlantic states and the central
valleys. The abnormal heat on the
north Pacific coast during the latter
part of the week probably caused dam
age to the wheat crop in Washington.
The corn crop has experienced a
week of very favorable conditions for
growth, except in the upper Missouri
valley, where it's progress has been
rather slow on account of insufficient
heat and lack of sunshine. While rains
have interfered with cultivation to
some extent, the crop as whole is in
a fairly good state of cultivation and is
largely laid by, except in the more
northerly districts.
Both standing and harvested oats
have suffered considerably from wet
weather, which has caused lodging,
hindering harvesting and injured oats
in stack or shock. fine crop, how
ever, is generally indicated.
In the Carolinas, Georgia and Flor
ida, over the greater part of Alabama
and in southern Mississippi cotton has
generally done well. Good growth is
reported from the central and western
districts. Too rank growth is more or
less reported in all districts, except the
Carolinas and Florida. Wet weather
in Texas has favored the increase of
| boil weevils. which are also causing
damage in Louisiana.
With few exceptions light apple
crop is indicated.

WHY WALLACE
QUIT THE CANAL
WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH
GEORGE WESTINGHOUSE.
Plan to Surround Electric Roads. Even
" Some of Them Have to
Be "Pinched."

New York, July 11.--A high financial
authority made public tonight the rea-
sons underlying the retirement of John
A. Wallace as chief engineer of the
isthmian canal. 1t discloses for the
first time the influences back of WAL
lace and presents an enterprise of gil
gantic proportions.
The story, as related from this au-
thority, is this
George Westinghouse, president of
the Westinghouse Air Brake Co., and
some high officials of leading railroads
conceived the plan of constructing
electric railways in such portions of
the country as would make their con-
struction profitable competition with
steam roads. When purchased by the
steam road the line would be operated
rs an Independent enterprise, but cut
ting of rates would cease and the reve-
nues would eventually reach the treas
ury of the steam road. The plan, ~
this authority has it, was to force the
sale of present profitable electric rail-
way lines by threats of constructing
competing lines"
Westinghouse, Wallace and the rail-
road men interested in the undertake
ing were to get an equal division of the
profits derived from the sale. 1t was
estimated that the salary and profits
would net Wallace sos 900 annually
The acceptance of Wallace had a
string to it. He came north and
planned to secure from the President
and Secretary Root an increase of sal
ary Of $4,000 and the appointment of
chairman of the canal commission,
with a residence in Washington.
The President and the secretary
learned of the engineers intention and
called his bluff, 1t is declared.

WEAVER'S COUNSEL
At LOCGERHEADS
OVER INDICTMENTS IN THE Fill
TRATioN SCHEME.
Certain Persons" IN City OF Broth.
erIy Love are Evidently Seek
ing Protection.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 11.-District
Attorney John c. Bell and ex-Judge
Gordon, as counsel for Mayor Weav-
er in his probe into municipal depart
ment operations are at loggerheads.
The conspiracy indictments against
certain persons" other than ex-Fil-
tration Chief John w. Hill and Select
Councilman Frank II. Caven, in the
filtration fraud cases, which the may
ors legal adviser contend should be
found, compose the rock upon which
lawyers split.
Mr.. Bell suggests that such prose
cutions be brought In the usual way
before q committing magistrate and
when the evidence is sufficient to base
a conspiracy charge. and that he Will
then prepare indictments.
In reply to this letter Judge Cor
don says that the Hill and Caven
cases are small matters, and that Mr..
Bells suggestion that he will do moth
ing to take the initiative toward
bringing the greater criminals to JUS
tice, indicates an attitude that will go
far in defeating the ends of justice
He says:
"It Is entirely within your province
to concern yourself with the initiation
of the prosecution and. If necessary
bring to the bar of the court all of
whom the evidence before you dis
closes to have been concerned in the
nefarious system of public robbery,
wh'ch the Hill and Caven hearings
and the additional evidence 10 you
disclose.
Il indicated to you the manner and
method by which conceived that the
important charges could be brought to
judicial attention. 1t was my opin-
ion that the presentation Of the full
evidence disclosed an extensive con
spiracy to plunder the city by Off
cials and others and that should send
in bills of indictment against the prin-
cipal criminals thus disclosed by the
testimony brought to your notice.
Your attitude is exactly what you
would take In case of assault and
battery or malicious mischief. To
this low point do you reduce the pub
lie prosecutions instituted by the
mayor in the public interest and to
punish purely public offenses. 1t Is
quite evident that | cannot aid you
any further along the narrow lines
indicated in your letter."

THE SCANDINAVIAN
CRISIS POSTPONED
WAITING FOR MEETING OF NEW
RlDSDAG IN JANUARY
Sweden Suspected of Desire to Gain
Time for Completion Of MiIt-
airy and Naval Preparations.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 1.-THE Stockholm
correspondent of the Daily News cables
as follows:
Riksdag sentiment is rapidly crystal
izing in favor OF postponing settle
ment of the union crisis until the new
riksdog meets. in January next. Your
correspondent learns that the special
committee, whose report is momentar-
lily awaited, is busily debating such rec
ommendation, and that there is ma
jority in favor of it. Postponement is
desired in order that a direct mandate
with reference to the dissolution of
the union may be had. The present
riksdag was chosen in 1902 on a plat
form calling for the maintenance of
the union, and 1t is pointed out that
1t would violate its electoral pledge
were it to sanction the Norwegian rev.
olution in any form.
1t is more probable, however, that
postponement is desired because Swe-
den wants to gain time for the compile
tion of such military and naval prepa-
rations as may eventually be necessary
to enforce the conditions on which she
is willing to recognize Norway's seces-
sion
Notwithstanding their superiority on
paper, King Oscars land and sea forces
are not supposed to be in the highest
state Of preparedness, and the embar-
rassment to Norway because it's status
would meantime be nondescript, espe-
cially as far as recognition by foreign
governments is concerned. Norwegians
affect to disregard such q contingency.
They say that their county is self-con-
tanned and that foreign relations are
secondary and can wait
Swedish liberals call the postpone
ment project conservative trick to
obscure the suffrage question during
the coming campaign, and to side
track the program for the universal
ballot, which would otherwise be the
paramount issue. The Swedish nation
continues sullen, but reserved and eau
tious. There is a studied effort to
avoid public utterances likely to ag-
gravate Norwegian passions They
want the restoration of the union on
any conditions.
