COUNT CASSINI'S VISIT

Japan at this time. 1t was suggested
that the failure to receive any advice
from st. Petersburg regarding the at
titude of the emperor was one reason
why Count Cassini has deferred his
call at the White House.
The whole situation was thorough
ly discussed in an informal way by
Count Cassini with his warm person
al friend, Baron Speck Won Stern
berg, the German ambassador, who
dined at the Russian embassy to-.
night after having had conference
with the president early in the day.
Indicative of the importance of the
two conferences with the German
ambassador was the statement of the
Russian ambassador late tonight that
he hoped to see the president within
the next "a hours. Meantime 1t can
be stated on the best authority that
the Washington government is bid
ing its time, believing that Russia
must be given time fully to realize
the crushing character of her defeat
before she will be willing to consider
the advisability of abandoning her

STRANGE FACTS ABOUT
OUR STREET RAILWAYS.

On the subject Of the growth OF
street railways, tine report brings out
the fact that the first passenger car
ever constructed for street railway
was used in New York City in the third
decade of the last century. This car
was drawn by horses over strap rails
laid on stone ties. Improvements in
troduced during the next forty years
were principally in details, but the in
PRODUCTION of the cable system in 1873
was a decided advance in motive
power. At the present time, however,
the use of the cable car is confined al.
most exclusively to the cities Of Chi.
cago, San Francisco and Kansas City,
while the trolley, which was not used
to any great extent prior to 1885, has
practically superseded all other sys-
tens.
The total number Of passengers car
ried in one year was 5,83G,615,296, OF
which 1862 ,4O3,3s2, or 1872 per cent.
were transfer passengers.
The average number of rides per in.
habitant advanced from thirty-two in
1890 to sixty-three in 1902 for the
country as a whole, while the advance

EvoKEs GREATEST INTEREST.
All London Is Discussing President
Roosevelt's Action.

nuOSCNGtt SSticts
London, June S. - The conference
between President Roosevelt and
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa-
dor to the United States evokes the
greatest interest here, but the details
OF what TRANSFERRED at the conference
arrived too late to be the subject OF
discussion in this mornings newspa-
pers.
The belief in London Is that at the
present moment neither belligerent Is
anxious for peace. Some advices
from Toxic indicate the soberness
with which the news Of Togo's VIC
tory was received as desire to avoid
peace negotiations until the expedi-
ton in course of construction has
had time to reduce Vladivostok.
With regard to Russia, it is felt
here that tie mere sense Of the enor-
nous loss If prestige involved in the
disastrous defeat of Rojestvensky will
determine hostilities.
Secretary Lansdowne Of the for
eign Off &c will gladly second Presi-

GAR FIRM FOR WAR;:
NO DEFINITE DECISION

Washington, June 6.-Shortly after
o'clock tonight Gorgoro Takahira,
the Japanese minister, called at the
White House by appointment. He
was Immediately received by the
president and a conference ensued.
Following so closely the visit Of Count
Cassini 1t was naturally inferred that
the president took occasion to COM
municate to Mr.. Takahira the views
of Russia as presented by Count Cas-
SIM at the conference with him re-
Gently. Whether the visit had to do
with the appearance of the three Rus
sian ships at Manila could not be
learned. The minister returned from
New York only this afternoon.
Diplomatic activity in Washington
today indicates that the European
powers are prepared actively to as
sist the president in any efforts he
may make in the interest of peace in
the far east, and it is learned tonight
on high authority that the German
emperor heartily shares the earnest
wish of President Roosevelt for an
early ending of the war. Neither the
president nor the emperor, however,
Is ambitious to assume the role of
peace-maker, although anxious to do
what is possible to assist Russia and
Japan to enter upon peace negotia-
tons as soon as practicable, From
information received here it is believ-
ed that the king of Italy can be relied
on to cast his influence for peace, and
the long conference of Baron Mayor
des Planches, the Italian ambassador,
Saturday afternoon with Count Cas-
SIM, after the latter's call at the
White House, is but one of several
evidences of the kings envoy at
Washington in the interest of peace.
Sir Mortimer Durand, the British am
bassador, in a recent visit to the
White House placed the president in
possession of the views of King Ed
ward, who would welcome an early
peace. The views of the French gov
eminent are well known to be of a
similar character.
Several Of the more prominent d.
plomats were enabled to cable their
governments last night the general
features of the conference between
the president and Count Cassini and
by today the whole diplomatic corps
was aware of the important words ut
tered by the president and were specu-
lating on their effect in st. Peters
burg.

German journalistic Enterprise.

A German editor has hit upon new
idea in practical journalism. He is
mindful of the utility of his paper for
making parcels, and especially for
tying up the popular sausage. So he
addressed his feminine patrons in these
terms: "You have often complained to
us, dear readers, and especially dear
housewives, that our paper smells Of
printers ink, and IS therefore insult.
able for carrying butter, sausages and
fresh bread. Eager to meet your
wishes, dear friends and household
fairies, we have decided to publish
twice a week an issue which will be
printed only on one side, so that the
other will be available for those do
nestle uses. And in order that you
shall lose no reading matter, these par
ticular numbers will be double the or
binary size."-London Daily Chronicle.

For an hour this afternoon Baron
Won Sternberg, the German ambassa-
dor, was at the Russian embassy dis
cussing the situation with Count Cas-
SIM. Thus far the latter has not heard
from his government and advices from
Europe would seem to indicate that
the Gar and his ministers have reach
ed no definite decision as to their fu-
ture policy.
ST. Petersburg.-The American EN-.
bassy was the center of interest yes.
terday on account of President Roose-
velt's tender of his good Offices in the
direction of peace. Ambassador Mey-
err was besieged by members of the
diplomatic corps who desired light on
the presidents plans and intentions,
and the chances of its acceptance was
a topic Of general interest in st. Pet
ersburg, the public having been made
acquainted with President Roosevelt's
talk with Count Cassini through the
|
afternoon papers.
Foreign Minister Lamsdorff did not
lay the matter before the emperor yes
terday but probably will visit Tsars-
koe-Selo Monday instead of Tuesday,
his regular audience day, for this pur-
| pose.
+! Officials of the foreign Office, al
though expressing gratitude for the
peace tender by the United States,
adopted non-committal tone regard
ing the prospects of action on it, say
ing the decision rested solely with the
emperor, who up to the present is
firm for war.
On all sides it Is realized that the
question of indemnity will be the
greatest stumbling block in the way
of the efforts of the peace party. The
war faction urges that if Russia is
obliged to pay an enormous indem-
nifty she might as well spend the same
amount in continuing the war year
or two longer, and trust to financial
pressure to do its work on Japan.
They say Russia's situation could not
be made much worse.

called for today, for which ESQ dele
gates from various zemstovs and mu-
inequalities, including the mayors OF
twenty-five cities, arrived here yester-
day and at which 1t was proposed to
introduce resolutions calling for the
immediate cessation Of hostilities, has
been prohibited.
The order Of prohibition, which ar.
rived late last night, has aroused the
greatest indignation and resentment.
Very many Of the delegates are de-
termined to defy the government and
to proceed with the congress, in
which case trouble may be expect
ed.
The more radical Of the delegates
are proposing measures Of an ex-
IRENE type, and there is the greatest
anxiety over the probable develop.
ment today.
Delegates representing the social
revolutionaries and the League OF
Leagues are also in the city and an
effort is being made among them to
agree on a basis for common action.

PEACE STORY IS SENSATIONAL
Ambassador TO France Has Departed
Post Haste For Home.

st. Petersburg, June 3.-An even.

from Paris correspondent saying he
was in a position to state that after
the passage of many kilograms last
night between the French foreign Of
flee and the French embassy here, M.
Bompard, the French ambassador, is
returning hastily to st. Petersburg
from Paris at the request of Russia to
arrange for peace negotiations, France
having agreed, If Japan's terms are
too onerous, to undertake to ask the
concert of all the powers to compel
both powers to mediate.
At both the foreign Office and the
French embassy the story was de.
MED, but there is reason to believe
that M. Bompard is bringing a direct
message from Foreign Minister Del.
