the sentiment that the national regula.

result in danger to the coal trade, a

Washington, June 27.-Russia has
given r%eassurance in the peace nego-
tiations by placing the president in
possession of the tentative selection
of her plenipotentiaries, as follows:
NJ. Nelidoff, the Russian ambassador
at Paris, and Baron Rosen, the newly
appointed Russian ambassador al
Washington. Russia, thus having
taken the initiative, it Is believed thai
Mr.. Takahira, the Japanese minister,
during his last call at the white house,
formally told the president hat ia
mans selections, also tentative, were
Baron Komura. the japanese minister
for foreign affairs, and kogoro Taxa
hira, the Japanese minister at Wash

Official announcement of tho names

health may not permit him to make

NAV necessitate the presence In Toxic
of Baron Komura. Mr.. Takahira n
Baron Rosen are regarded as the GER
tainties. Should such plenipotentiar-
les be chosen, both Russia and Japan
have names under consideration which
will enable them to announce their
third plenipotentiaries without delay.
Interest regarding an armistice has
largely diminished in the last few
DAYS because Of the receipt OF in
formation that the rainy season is be-
ginning in Manchuria. II is believed
here that this will serve the purposes
OF an armistice In preventing a clash
before the converting of the confer
ence in August. Moreover, the In
formal soundings initiated by the
president at Toxic and st. Petersburg
did not yield much hope for success

the serious desire of Russia for peace
she will readily consent to an arms
