so SPEAKS THE CAR
He Whose Shadow Stretches Over The
Reddened Streets of st. Petersburg
and Afar Over ManChuria's En-
sanquined Plains Calls New
Peace Conference.
(By the Associated Press.)

st. Petersburg, Sept. 1S.-Emperor
Nicholas today again appears before
the world as promoter Of universal
pace No sooner is the RussoJap-
anese war over. and even before the
peace treaty has been ratified, than
His Majesty issues invitations to a
second peace conference at The
Hague.
That the Emperor has done SO was
learned today from a source which
leaves no shadow OF doubt as to its
authenticity. 1t is officially an
nounced that "the Russian government
proposes to address the fyreign pow
ers with n view to the holding of a
second peace conference at The
Hague but it is known that negotia-
tions preceding THIS announcement
that the government proposed to adj
dress the powers We're entered into
especially with the United States and
were conducted with the greatest
secrecy, there being not the slightest
inlkling that Russia contemplated any
thing Of the kind.
The announcement created the
greatest surprise here, and that Rus
sia should plan a second conference,
despite the steps already taken by
President Roosevelt was also heard
with amaZement. 1t is clear that the
step COULD not be taken by Russia
without first reaching a complete un-
derstanding with President Roosevelt.
The fact that President Roosevelt is
reported as being entirely in sympathy
with the DroDosed conference, and
that he is said to believe that to the
initiator of the first Hague conference
should belong the honor of convoking
the second. and readily and even
gladly acceded TO the Russian pro-
posal. is clear proof that the confer
ence has already been called and that
President Roosevelt relinquished his
part in it to the Emperor.
There is strong reason to believe
that the news even of the intention of
the Russian government would not be
given out unless invitations had al
ready been sent to the powers, and
possibly, that their answers had been
received.
1t is impossible to learn tonight the
proposed date of the second confer
ence or to gain even an approximate
idea regarding it, but it probably will
not be greatly delayed. Russia as
