PEACE TALK BEGINS.

President Roosevelt and Minister Ia
kahira Confer at the White House.
Washington, May B0-Quick to real
lie the far-reaching effect of Admiral
EoJeStVensky'S disastrous defeat in the
Korean straits and in keeping with his
promise announced a long time ago to
DO all in his power to bring the bellig-
efents IN the far east to direct negotia-
tons at the proper time, President
Roosevelt received by special appoint
ment Mr.. Takahira, the japanese min
lister, and long conference followed
Count CasSini, the Russian ambaSsa-
dor, said that he expected to see the
president before the week is over and
Baron Sternberg, the German ambassa-
dor, is constantly in touch with the
president. Through his intimate ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Roosevelt he is at
liberty to call at any time. The Ger
man ambassador is observing a dis
Greet silence, but is thoroughly posted
on both the Russian and japanese point
of view as represented here and stands
ready to give the president all the as
SiStance possible.
The prOmptness with which Washing
ton has been able to furnish the world
with the first news of the great battle
/ is due primarily to the intimatiOn con-
veyed to the American diplomatic,
consular and naval officers abroad that
the president desired prompt and full
details of the impending naval battle
at the earliest possible moment.
The conference of Mr.. Takahira at
the White House was not generally
known here. At the interested embas-
sizes and legations the opinion was firmly
expressed that President Roosevelt
would undoubtedly lead the neutral ma
tons in the effort to bring about peace.
1t is thought that the presidents first
object will be to ascertain on what bas-
is Japan can discuss the question of
peace.
At the Russian embassy Count Cas-
SIM, while naturally greatly depressed
at the loss of life, expressed belief that
when fuller details came in it would be
found that Admiral RojestVensky had
saved a part of his squadron and that
his passage of the straits of Korea had
been accomplished not without inflict-
ing great damage on the opposing fleet.
Talk Of peace is premature" the
be as stupendous as the Japanese would
have the world believe the neutral pow
ers can scarcely wish for Japan to be
allowed to remain without a taste of
defeat. Much as should welcome an
end of the war for some reasons my
belief is that the effect of ROjestvens-
ky's defeat will be the indefinite pro-
longation of the war. Russia must fight
on perhaps for years, but until the ia
bles are turned"
At the japanese legation Minister
Takahira expressed his keen satisfac-
ton at the victory of Togo.
Il cannot discuss the effects Of this
battle" he said, until the final reports
are received; until we know ROjest-
vensky's fate. Ask Russia, not Japan,
of The hour of peace has arrived. Our
fleet is still pursuing the enemy. 1t is
to be looked for"

SUPERSTITION OF ENGINEER.

Engines After E,ncounteFing an Acct
dent Are Never Trusted Again.
Engine drivers as a rule are prob
ably no more superstitious than any
other class. There are many curious
beliefs among them, however, some OF
long standing A supersut1ous engine

accident as he would another engine.
It may be the finest machinery, out
ne will never feel quite as easy ABOUT
her after she has been IN any accident,
more particularly if she started her
working career with a bad record,
having met a mishap on her trial run.
Many engine drivers maintain that
the turning table on which engines
are turned should always be worked
round from east to west and nOrIh
and south-that is to the Highland
that if this direction is not taken the
engine turned will meet with mishap.
They make a point, often at great IN
convenience to themselves, of being
present whenever their engines are
turned in order to assure themselves
that it is done the right way, or II IN
their absence it has been wrongly
done they will have it set right beIore

merous accidents are attributed to en-
gines being turned from east to west
with the front buffers toward the
north
One should never step onto the ne
CINE with the right foot first. Equal
" serious would be the consequences
of climbing out on the right side IN
order to oil the engine. Such a mis-
take would certainly result IN an &C
cident sooner or later. There are act
uaI cases of accidents following mis-
takes of this sort, drivers and stokers
having slipped and met with serious
injuries for the right side of the en-

One will sometimes see a track lay
er who has stumbled in crossing rail-
retrace his steps and cross the rail-
again with sure foot. To stumble over
a. rail is productive of misfortune, and
the only way to ward off disaster is to
take the step again, CrOss-eyed men
are unpopular. Some support to this
superstition is discoverable in the
story of a gang of track layers Who
during the ten months presence
among them of a cross-eyed man, lost
nine of their number by accidents on
the line. the hoOdoo finally being
broken, so it is said, by the cross-eyed
man himself being killed as the tenth

clared, will be placed in the hands Of
every voter in the United States. This
pamphlet is entitled What are the facts
about American Railroads? ' Beneath
the caption is this inquiry: Can spur
ious agitation dfslodge this keystone %
The keystone to which reference is made
is depicted upon the front page, and is
labeled, Lowest railroad rates in the
world" The arch to this keystone is
made up of agriculture and manufac-
lures.
Large appropriations are to be made
for display advertising in the newspa-
pers throughout the country. Realizing
that there are many arguments and
statements which the railroads desire
to get before the public, but which the
newspapers viii not accept as news,
they are prepared to secure publication
by paying advertising rates for it. This
work. together with the expenses OF
the large travelling and office forces
which the railroads purpose to maintain
will necessitate very large expenditures.
If the plan is successful it is under
stood that 3 time the railway educa-
tiOnal bureau viii supplant or make
necessary the railroad lobbyist. We
believe declared Mr.. Thompson, that
all the present railway agitation is due
to ignorance and INSTRUMENTATION. This
bureau is going to do all in its power
to change this condition of ignorance,
and to get the railroad side of this
