Proposition For the Date Of the
Meeting at Washington Sub.
mitted to Russia.
It IS UNDER CONSIDERATION.
II Will Probably Begin During the
First Week or Ten Days
of August.
This 10 About the Earliest Period at
Which the Japanese Representa-.
tives Could Be Expected To
Reach Washington.

st. Petersburg, June 26.-Negotia
tions for the peace conference have
taken an important step forward, a
proposition for the date of the meet
ing Of the plenipotentiaries at Wash
inston having been submitted to Rus.
sla and being now under considera.
tion. The exact date proposed has not
been ascertained but there Is reason
to suppose that It is some time dur.
ing the arst week or ten days Of Au.
gust, which Is about the earliest pc
Rod at which the japanese representa-.
tives could be expected to reach Wash.
inston, allowing reasonable time for
the acceptance Of the proposal and
the interchange of the nominations Of
plenipotentiaries.
The emperor's answer Is not expect.
ed for day or two, and the diplomatic
mills Of Russia grind slowly.
Whether the proposal regarding the
date originated at Toxic or at Wash
ington can not be learned, but the fact
that the negotiations were conducted
through Ambassador Meyer may indi-
cate that President Roosevelt has per.
haps again stepped to the fore and
suggested to the two powers, neither
Of whom would be willing to take the
initiative, a suitable date.
The Novoe Vremya prints an inter
view which its correspondent at Paris
had with japanese diplomat who
says that while nobody outside of the
emperor of Japan and his principal ad-
visers is yet in possession of Japan's
terms, he believes that they are mod
crate and will be acceptable.

Be Shown Usual Courtesies.
Harsh Treatment Of the celestIais
Caused Commercial Guilds Of
China To Boycott Ameri.
can Manufacturers

Washington. June 26.--By direction
Of President Roosevelt, action has
been taken by the administration
which not only will facilitate the land.
ing in this country of Chinese Of all
classes but will also eliminate from
emigration bureau such administrative
features as have been the subject of
criticism by Chinese. II is the declar.
ed intention Of the president to see
that Chinese merchants, travellers,
students and others Of the exempt
classes shall have the same courtesy
shown them by ohicers of the immi-
grafton bureau as 10 accorded to citi.
Gems of the most favored nation.
Representations have been made to
the president that In view Of alleged
harsh treatment accorded to many
Chinese seeking landing in the Unit
ed States the commercial guilds Of
China have determined to institute q
boycott on American manufactures.
The representations. backed by the
authority Of the American Asiatic So
eiety and commercial bodies through
out the country. induced the president
to make an investigation of the situa.
tion with a view of remedying the
evils complained Of. II they were found
to exist.
The subject was discussed thorough.
ly by the cabinet and the president
took it up personally with Secretary
Metcalf, Of the department Of COM
merce and labor. who has supervision
Of the immigration bureau.
AS result of the inquiry. orders
have been issued to the diplomatic
and consular representatives Of the
United States in China by the presi-
dent himself that they must look close
ly to the performance of their duties
under the exclusion law and see to 1t
that members of the exempt classes
coming to this country are provided
with proper certificates. These certifi-
Gates will be accepted at any port of
the United States and will guarantee
the bearer against any harm or dis
courteous treatment. Such treatment,
indeed. will be the cause of the in
slant dismissal of the offending official,
whoever he may be.
In addition to the presidents orders
Secretary Metcalf has issued instruc-
tions to the immigration officers
which, 1t is believed, will remedy the
difficulty heretofore complained of by
the Chinese government and individ-
uals. 1t is anticipated that the prompt
action taken by this government to
meet the objections made by the Chi
nese will eliminate the possibility of
serious trade difficulties between Chi
ma and the manufacturers of this coun-
try.

INTO AN OPEN sw,rcm.


Mentor, O., June 22.--Running at
the rate Of 80 or 60 miles an hour. the
Twentieth Century Limited on the
Lake Shore railroad dashed into an
open switch at the passenger station
here shortly before 10 o'clock. The
combination baggage and smoking car
and the coach behind 1t caught fire and
we're destroyed.
The Twentieth Century Limited Is
one Of the fastest trains in the world.
This was the fourth trip Of the flyer
on its run from Chicago to New York
on an Is hour schedule.
Cleveland, O., June 23.-The list Of
fatalities in the wreck Of the Twenti-
eth Century flyer on the Lake Shore
at Mentor, O., is one of the largest In
the history Of that road, numbering 10
persons. The number of injured is IL.
All the victims were prominent In the
business and professional world In
New York, Chicago, Cleveland and 9th.
er cities.
As to who is responsible for the
open switch which was the cause OF
the wreck the railroad ofiicials are
still uncertain. They believe that the
wreck Is the result of either q maniac
who wanted to see the wreck Of such
fast train or some person bent on
revenge. A careful examination Of the
switch showed that 1t was in perfect
condition.
w. II. Marshall, general manager Of
the Lake Shore. believes the speed Of
the train was not contributary cause
to the wreck. He said that other Lake
Shore trains travel through Mentor at
speed equal to that attained by the
Twentieth Century, which was not.
Mr.. Marshall said, above the rate of
so miles an hour. The schedule for
the train called for speed Of 81
miles an hour at that point.
Cleveland, O., June 23.-It is possi-
BILE that an investigation will develop
that boy IA years old meddled with
the switch at the Mentor station and
caused the wreck Of the Twentieth
Century flyer. William Usher, ticket
agent of the Nickel Plate, and James
Barnes, of Willoughby, were on the
scene of the wreck 20 minutes after
the wreck happened. On the way they
met boy carrying a lantern. They
questioned him and he said that he
had been down to shut switch. They
questioned him further, thinking it
possible that the boy had tampered
with the switch, but the boy insisted
that he had shut the switch. The men
went to the scene of the wreck and
found the switch open but locked. The
men are OF the opinion that the boy
thought that there was freight ahead
Of the Twentieth Century and opened
the switch to let it through to take a
siding.
Cleveland, o., June 24.-The Lake
Shore Railway Co. offered reward of
$4,000 for the arrest or for informa.
ton leading to the arrest of the per.
son or persons Responsible for the
wreck of the Twentieth Century Linn
tied at Mentor, o., Wednesday night.
