finally Monday. 1t remains now for
the belligerent powers to name their

and place for them to meet to discuss
terms and to negotiate q treaty of

Conferences of supreme Importance
were held Monday in Washington. The

ferees. President ROOSEVELT now has
unequivocal assurances from both Rus.

The president is likewise assured of
the absolute sincerity Of both govern

Japan was the first of the two powers
to indicate its acceptance of President
Roosevelt's proposition. The formal

Early Monday Ambassador Meyer,
at st. Petersburg, informed this gov
eminent that Russia had accepted the
presidents proposition and would name
representatives with plenary powers to

satisfactory, the response of Russia
was not in the same definite form as
that Of Japan. 1t had been the expec-
tation Of the president to publish to the
world the replies Of the two govern
ments to his identical notes, but under
the circumstances this could not be
done.

RoosEvELr's NOTE FOR PEACE.
Sent to Japanese and Russian Gov.
ernments.

StutiVusos
On June 8 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 possible to bring to an end the
terrible and lamentable conflict now
being waged. When both Russia and
Japan the United States has intimacy
and friendship. 1t hopes for the pros
perity and welfare of each, and it
feels that the progress Of the world is
set back by the war between these
two great nations. The president &C.
|cordingly urges the Russian and jap
|anese governments, not only for their
own sakes, but in the interest of the
whole civilized world, to inaugurate
direct negotiations for peace with one
another.
"The president suggests that these
peace negotiations be conducted d.
frectly and exclusively between the
kelligerents; in other words, that
there may be g meeting of Russian
and Japanese plenipotentiaries or del
egates without any intermediary, in
order to see if it is not possible for
ers to agree to terms of peace. The
president earnestly asks that the Rus
sian and Japanese governments do

EDITORS HIGH time
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ENTER.
Tanned In Wild WEST STYLE.
Miller Brothers, at Their 101 Ranch,
Near Bliss, Okla, Entertain $4,000
People at Buffalo Hunt and Indian
celebration-Stage Robbery and
Parade Of Indians.

Bliss, Okla, June 12.-Ffty thou.
sand people were entertained by Mil
Ter Brothers, at the 101 ranch Sun
day, the visit of the National Editorial
association to the ranch being made
the occasion for the buffalo hunt, q
buffalo dinner and an Indian celebra-
ton. The editors, many Of whom were
accompanied by ladies, arrived on the
ranch at II o'clock over the Santa Fe
in a special train.
The general public had been invited
to the entertainment. The Santa Fe
railroad, which runs through the
ranch, carried 10000 people to 1O1, and
as many more drove in to attend the
show. An immense grandstand extend
ing around the arena was built for the
visitors. The arena itself was half a
mile long and third of mile wide.
To handle the crowd required nearly
200 passenger coaches.
The Ponca and Otoe Indians, whose
lands are being allotted, had planned a
celebration to take place some time
during the spring, to which they ex-
pected to invite all the other Indians
in the territory to help them celebrate
the dissolution of their tribal territory.
This was arranged to take place at
the same time Of the editors visit.
The ranch bought IS head of buffalo
in Montana, and planned buffalo
chase by the Indians. Each one Of the
special guests, and there were not less
than 1000, was served with piece OF
buffalo meat in connection with the
dinner. Besides the buffalo the pro-
gram included a wild west show with
roping and riding contests. Indian
dances, a stage robbery and a NINA
ture reproduction Of the rush into the
Cherokee strip. The program also in
cluded a parade beginning with the
Indian, attired in paint and feathers
followed by the OK team and prairie
schooner, and ending with an automo
bile.

the reputation Of being one of the

WAR STATUS LAST WEEK.
No Military or Naval Operations In
Far East

There were no important military or
naval operations in the far east last
week, as all influences were making
for peace. No aggressiveness was
manifested in Manchuria, although
both armies have apparently been in
condition to wage heavy battle. Field
Marshal Oyama evidently decided to
postpone his contemplated forward
movement until the question of sea
was determined and by so
doing he has undoubtedly effected an
immense saving in blood and treasure.
The week closed with an expression
OF willingness by both belligerents to
accept the suggestion of President
Roosevelt for the appointment of plen-
ipotentiaries who are to consider
peace terms. This does not necessari.
ly mean that the conditions proposed
by Japan will be acceptable or that a
permanent end of hostilities is assur.
ed by the calling of the conference.
But it signifies that Russia has in a
measure recognized the hopelessness
Of her cause, and with the intimation
that peace would be agreeable to her,
the first essential step toward getting
it has been taken.
The striking figure in these impor-
tant preliminaries has been that of
President Roosevelt. 1t is now admit
ted at all the great capitals that he
was in the best position to advise the
opening of negotiations that might
bring to close the bloody conflict
now more than a year old. He has
done it with dignity and felicitous
terms and both powers interested
have not been slow to praise the ad-
mirable manner in which he has Ia
bored for peace.
