tne preliminary arrangements for
time and place Of the meeting Of rep
resentatives of the Russian and Japa-
nese governments.
Note to Russia and Japan.
The following is the text of the dis
patch as given out;
"On June the following dispatch
was sent by the president. through dip
lomatic channels, to the japanese and
Russian governments:
1.-THE president feels that the time
has come when in the interest of all
mankind he must endeavor to see If It
is not possible TO bring to an end the
terrible and lamentable conflict now
being waged With both Russia and
Japan the United States has inherited
ties of friendship and good will. It
hopes for the prosperity and welfare
Of each. and it feels that the progress
of the world is set back by the war be-
tween these two great nations. The
president accordingly urges the Rus
sian and Japanese governments not
only for their own sakes but in the
interest Of the whole civilized world TO
open direct negotiations for peace wish
one another. The president suggests
that these peace negotiations be con-
Quoted directly and exclusively between
the belllgerents; in other words that
there may be a meeting Of Russian and
Japanese plenipotentiaries or delegates
without any Intermediary, in order to
see If 10 is not possible for these repre-
sentatives of the two powers to agree
20 terms of peace. The president earn
estly asks that the (Russian) Japan
ese) government do now agree TO such
a meeting, and is asking the (JapaneseJ
(Russian) government likewise 20
agree. While the president does not
feel that any Intermediary should be
called in in respect to the peace nego-
tiations themselves, heis entirely will
ing TO do what he properly can if the
two powers concerned feel that his ser
vices will be of aid I'm arranging the
preliminaries as to the time and place
of meeting But II even these prelim-
inaries can be arranged directly ne
tween the two powers. or in any other
way. the president will be glad as his
sole purpose is to bring about a meet
ing which the whole civilized world
will pray may result in peace.
A formal reply to the note may not
be received for several days. but as al
ready made clear, informal assurances
that il would be welcomed already are
at hand. In view of the significant
character Of the document and of the
attitude toward it which both Russia
end Japan have assumed. it is regarded
in official and diplomatic circles as the
first firm and decisive step toward III
J innate peace.

AN AMICABLE SETTLEMENT is NEAR

Washington, 1une 10.-When Presi-
dent Roosevelt left Washington on a
two-days' trip TO Virginia he was con-
fidont th- the result of the interna-
tional nea.dations for peace in the
Far East had been successful, and that
the hnal blow IN the RussO-Japanese
war had been struck So deeply inter
estod is he in bringing the two belllg-
orent nations to a common under
standing that he would not have left
the White House at the time when the
situation was so delicate. until he had
obtained assurances that his efforts to
bring Russia and Japan 10 contact,
in an amicable spirit, hadS been sue
oessfully concluded.
While extreme reticence is mani
tested in every Official and diplomatic
quarter, 1t is known authoritatively
that the exchanges which have been
in progress for the past 10 days be-
tween the Washington government
and the powers of the world, including
the two belligerent nations. have been
successful TO an unexpected degree.
President Roosevelt, who has taken
the lead in the negotiations, has been
accorded the cordial support Of the
great Continental powers, including
Russia's nearest friend, France. The
direct representations made through
Ambassador Meyer. at ST. Petersburg,
10 the czar were received by Emperor
Nicholas in a most friendly spirit
Toxic responded IN an equally annie
able way. So near are the two warning
powers to amicable contact at this
moment that in an Washington cir

hopefulness has given way to notable

of the situation may be issued from

It can be said that only Toxic remains

An identical note, the text of which,
by authority of the president. was
made public at the White House. has
been forwarded to the governments of
Russia and Japan by President Roose-
velt In the interest of humanity, the
president urges the warning nations to
conclude peace. Il is suggested by the
president that the negotiations for
