ST Petersburg, June II, 100 p. nj
ing Of the Russian and Japanese rep
resentatives has been re-opened, and
there is a possibility that The Hague
instead of Washington may be select
ed After the announcement that
Washington had been selected Russia
expressed a desire to have the selec-
ton reconsidered, and exchanges to
that end are now proceeding between
Minister LamsdOrff and Ambassador
Meyer and Washington. Russia's pref
erence for The Hague is based on the
obvious advantages that it is entirely
neutralized, the capital of small
state, an dthe site Of the arbitration
court, and also by consideration OF
time, the representatives to whom
Russia will probably entrust the nego-
tiations being now in Europe, while it
is pointed out that either the United
States or Holland is equally accessible
to plenlpOtenI1ar1eS coLHlHS IioA ia
pan. The influence of Russia's ally
| France is also for The Hague, which
| the foreign office announces is the only
| place under consideration aside from
| Washington.
| The foreign Office also says that the
| talk of arranging an armistice has not
passed the preliminary stage.
The Novoe Vremyas dispatches from
| the front are irreconcilable in tone
The papers correspondent with the
Russia army in Manchuria telegraphs
that the feeling there is against any
| but a most honorable peace, as the
army is better in personnel, armament
and equipment than ever before.

Germany's Policy Defined by ba-

Washington, June 17.-Re-assur,ng
advices reached Washington today
from official sources regarding the Mcr-
rocan negotiations at Paris, which,
while they indicated that war between
Germsny and France is improbable, in
dicate the extreme delicacy OF the Sit
uation. Berlin takes much more cp"
timistic view Of the situation tnan
Paris. Germany claims that the neso-
tiations are proceeding with the utmost
good will on both sides and with fne
probability of an early settlement OF
all existing difficulties. Paris also ex-
presses good will and spirit OF eA-
treme friendliness, but is unable 10
foresee the outcome and is exceedingly
| anxious to find out "What is back OF
| Morocco and what are Germanys real
| Intentions
| This is the light in which the sltua-

sufficient to warrant any initiative On
the part of the President regarding tne

"The report that the Emperors POI

NO CHANGE is PROBABLE,
Japan's Refusal to Go to Europe is
F'inal-WashingtOn is Acceptable to
Russia.

Washington, June 17.-Subsequent
to the designation of Washington as
the seat of conference between the
plenipotentiaries of Russia and Japan,
some exchanges were had between the
United States and Russia looking, on
the part of Russia, to a re-Open1ng OF
the question of the place of conference
The precise nature of the exchanges
is not known, but it is learned here
officially that no change in the Location
of the conference is at all probable
Both the Russian and Japanese gov
ernments consented that the confer
ence should be held in Washington al
ter Japan had presented to Preslden'
Roosevelt it's objections to The Hague
or any other European capital. Ihe
official announcement of the selectloI
of Washington is regarded here a:
| final, SO far as the matter of Location
| is concerned. No change could bt
| made without the consent of JapaI
| and her refusal to go to Europe is sait
| to be final.
The dispatches from st. Petersburg
regarding the re-Opening of negoua
| tons created great interest in diplo
matte circles and it is said in well IN
formed quarters that if confirmed /
may have Il bad effect on the negotia
tiOns and will ''serve to increase tn
distrust which already exists in Japa
as to the sincerity of Russia's inten
tions regarding the conference.
The authoritative statement wa
made at the Russian embassy late to
right that Washington was acceptabl
to Russia and would remain so.

American Ostriches.

The success of the ostrich farms
I'M California has recently led to the
establishment of similar farm in
Arizona and another in Florida. 1t is
said that the feathers of these Amer
9can-raised birds are actually of bet
ter quality and command higher
prices than those of South African
1Dstriches. The birds on the farm are
larger than those seen in travelling
menageries, their weight running
from 200 to $50 pounds, and their
full height, with head appraised, from
six TO eight feet. A blow from an
ostrichs foot is dangerous, but it may
De avoided by STOPPING low, as the
birds cannot deliver an effective kick
under a height of three feet. For
This reason they are easily driven by
dogs. In Florida team of ostriches,
broken to harness, is said to have
paced mile in 2:30-Exchange

enough, it is not in the west end of
London, as many people imagine,
where the highest rents are paid, but
near the old lady of Threadneedle

the Royal Exchange let for between
$4,000 and $4,000 year, while a
House agent who advertised certain
properties in Throgmorton street ask

The sad position foreseen by the
bluff old Shakespearean Swashbuckler
has come to pass in these later days.
Because we are good, there are to be
no more cakes and ale-at one spot in

years it has been the practice, under
the provisions of the sTurton Char
ity," at Penistone, to distribute cake
and ale to children on Holy Thursday
and quarter of rye on Good Friday
to the poor people of the district 1t
is now considered a scandal to distri-
butte beer to boys and girls, and the
rye is very much abused. According
ly, at special vestry meeting, it has
been agreed that the two charities be
combined the money to be spent in
flour and distributed to poor people
