High State Department officials de-
clare ths1t stories that peace negotia-
tons will be conducted in Washington
are mere conjecture and certainly pre-
mature The best thought seems to
favor Manchuria as the place Of meet
ing. In that country the peace COM
missioners would be entirely removed
from any possible influence sought to
be exerted by any of the powers which
have been interested deeply In the pre-
liminary negotiations, but which Rus
sia and Japan do not desire interfer-
ences from IN the final settlement of
their differences.
Further than the President being re-
Quested to act as & mediator in the
preliminaries necessary to bring the
belligerents together. II is thought that
Mr.. Rooseveit's suggestion that Rus
sia and Japan deal directly with each
other will be accepted by both govern
mentS.

SCENE OF NEGOTIATIONS.

Local diplomats are fairly astounded
over what they deem the marvellous re-
suits achieved by President Roosevelt.
Although they looked fo.- peace. they
expected weeks OF preliminary negotia-
ton before the incident could possibly
attain the position 1t had
1t is expected here that after the
declaration of an armiSlice Russia viii
continue her evasive methods Of diplo-
macy. with a view or saving her pres
tige and beating down the indemnity
claim of Japan There may be many
bitches before the final conclusion Of
the negotiations. Tt is even conceded in
some quarters that Japan may be forced
to threaten renewal of hostiiities to
bring Russia to fair dealing.
But the consensus of opinion among
diplomats of high and low degree is
that peace is assured and that an ar
mistice will be ordered within two days
and that the peace treaty will be signed
not later than the middle Of July.

Scene of Negotiations.
It is stated on the highest authority
/, that there has been no suggestion as
yet as to the capital at which the pleni-
potentiarieS shall meet. In consideration
of the services Of the United States as
the mutual friend Washington is likely
TO be selected
This impression is REINFORCED by the
fact that Russia is sending hither Baron
Rosen, her diplomatic agent at Tokyo
prior 10 the war. Baron Rosen is gem
! orally considered the most effective
diplomat in the Cars service for the
business now in hand. because he is
popular with the people of Japan, en-

Presidents Unaided Diplomacy.
In connection with discussion OF the
Presidents great accomplishment the
comment is often heard that for once
an American chief OF state IS in position
, to secure the undivided credit for what
has been done. The Secretary of State
was away from the Capital and out of

THREE ADMIT THEIR GUILT
All viii Be Given an Opportunity to
Graduate in the Fall if They

The faculty and the students of the
medical department of the Georgetown
University have been at swords end for
the past ten days, owing to the fact
that fourteen Of the graduating class
were caught ''cribbing'' in the examina-
ton in medical zoology.
The trouble, as stated by DR.. George
NJ Kober. dean OF the faculty. grew out
OF the decision that In order TO make
The final examinations complete and far
reaching, II was considered by the board
of professors that the 'insubordinate"
brand of medical zoology would be in
Guided In the examinations.
To the decision the students rebe!led
and petitioned the faculty to eliminate
that particular subject, the students IN
their petition setting FORTH among other
things, that they had been given to un-
derstand that in the past the subject
Of medical zoology had not been in
cluded, and that they had not prepared
themselves for examination in that
branch.
The students also stated in their pc
tition to the faculty that owing TO the
inadequate number of text books on
medical zoology at the disposal of the
college, the greater part of their in
lectures of Prof w Stiles, proc

Want Examination Eliminated.
Considering the limited means for
procuring efficient Instructions In the
subject, they petitioned that IL all fair

dergo the examination.
The faculty however held to their
original decision of including medical
zoology in the final examinations and
the graduating class was SO advised.
The class acquieSced and assembled for
the examination.
DR.. Stiles, who conducted the ordeal,
! gave to each student copy OF the
questions compiled.
AS was stated by the faculty, not
wishing TO question or doubt the char
acter of the class, DR.. Stiles did not
deem it essential that he should keep
close watch on the students to detect
whether they were honest in their in
tentions to be straightforward in the
papers they submitted. He gave but
little attention to the class during the
examinations
