Paris Wanted by Russia and Refused by Japan, 50
Russia Accepts Washington too Hot Meet
ings May Be Adjourned to Some Summer Re-
sort or Wait for Cooler Weather Naming Of
Penipotentiaries and Ppiminares Will Not
Allow Meeting Probably Before August or Sep

Washington. June 15.--America's nl-
ticnal capital has been selected as the
seat of negotiations between the
plenipotentiaries of Russia and Japan
for treaty oil peace. The choice of
Washington as the location of the
peace conference marks another for
ward step in the negotiations toward
ultimate peace in the Far East insti-
tuted by President Roosevelt.
Official announcement of the selec-
ton Of Washington VAS made by Sec.
Loeb Mt the White House at 1.23 p. NJ.
today. 1t was in typewriter form and
read as follows:
when the two governments were
unable to agree upon either Che Foo
or Paris. the President suggested The
Hague, but both governments have
now requested that Washington be
chosen as the place of meeting and The
President mas accordingly formally no
tilted both governments that Washing.
ton will be so selected"
This statement was supplemented,
shortly afterward, by a semi-offfcial
announcement that after meeting and
organizing the plenipolentjarics of the
two governments, if it should be found
to be uncomfortably hot iE Washing
ton, may adjourn the meeting to some
summer resort in the north and there
continue their sittings until such timo
as the weather in Washington shall be
more comfortable"
Now that some of the details of the
negotiations which have been pending
nlyS. n
the selection of Washington is regard
ed as the only logical solution of the
problem presented to the belligerent
governments. After the acceptance by
Russia and Japan of President Roose-
velt's proposition that they consent 10
consider the question Of peace. Russia
indicated Paris as the most desirable
place for the meeting to negotiate a
treaty and Japan indicated Che Foo.
There the subject rested for As hours.
Finally Japan declined to consider
Paris for obvious reasons. and Russia
objected to the holding of the confer
ence in any Oriental city. Washington
then was suggested as a place at which
the belligercnts could meet on common
ground. undisturbed by either political
or personal influences.
Asa means of facilitating the ncgotia-
tions, the President suggested that the
conference be held at The Hague, the
seat of the International Arbitration
Tribunal and the location of the First
General Arbitration Conference called
at the instance of Emperor Nicholas OF
Russia. He indicated that for both
practical and sentimental reasons The
Hague would be a most desirable place
of meeting for the plenipotentiaries.
Further consideration of the sub
ject developed the practically unalter-
able objection of Japan to any Euro
pean capital, as seat for the confer
ence. She objected particularly to The
Hague. believing that it was too far
within the sphere of Russian influence;
and for a similar reason she declined
to consider Geneva. Until
today. however. Japan's irreconcilable
opposition to the selection OF any Eu-

ban this morning. at the church, at
9 A. NJ, and continued until about
o'clock. The exercises opened with the
overture by the orchestra, followed by
prayer by Rev. Mr.. King, pastor OF

which was finely rendered by the or

graduation parts.
The church has been beautifully dec
grated for this and the other exercises
of the week by the members of the jun
ior class. At the front of the room was
hung a large class emblem. which was
constructed after the pattern or the
class pin and which, aside from being
suggestive Of the class itself from the
colors, was also attractive as being a
splendid piece of workmanship from an
artistic standpoint. About the church

AN INTERESTING ADDRESS.

The Waterbury Americans Litchfield correspondent says: "It was great privilege which the ladies enjoyed who heard Mrs. Edward Hume at the Con- gregational chapel Sunday afternoon It was thirty years last week since MT. and Mrs. Hume went out to India taking up the work of the elder Mr. and Mrs. Hume, who had already been laboring in that leld fifteen years. Tn those thirty years this is but the sec- ond visit to this country. Mrs. Humes account of the work, which started witt two boys and one girl, and has grown to large school, was intensely inter- esting, and the account of the famine relief work added made @ story o1 achievement which makes lives center ed in self look most miserably small by contrast"

VENETIAN NIGHTS SUCCESS.
Brilliant Spectacle at the White City
 Beautiful HIuminatiOns.

The success of the first full produc- ton of Venetian night al the White City last evening could not have been more pronounced. The weather was clear and every feature of the l,ril- liant spectacle was carried out. The great electric Maypole was lighted for the first time, and no more beautiful sight could well be imagined. The my riads of Japanese lanterns gave a soft ening effect to the whole scene and the singing of the American (male) quartette and the Dresden Ladies quar- tette added a romantic charm, as the patrons were sculled about the lagoon in the gayly decorated and lighted gOp- dolas by the gaudily dressed gondO- Hers. The verdict of the entire thrOng was that the whole affair was the most elaborate and brilliant ever seen in this section of the country.
 The first performances of Caicedo, the noted high wire performer, were greet ed by an enthusiastic throng. Caicedo is acknowledged the king of all per formers in this line. He goes through his feats on a wire sixty feet above the lagoon, and with nothing but the wa ter under him. He turns somersaults, sits on chair and accomplishes num- Der of other almost superhuman acts.
 The myriophone, the largest and latest musical instrument, filled the White City with it's beautiful tones yesterday. Mir. and Mrs. Karsey, who play it, are the only ones in the country possess ing such an instrument and the music they get out of it is something wonder fuI

IN THE WAKE OF THE STORM
s40,oOo Overflow to be Built on State
 Street

S40.oO0 Overflow to be Built on State
 Street.
 The heavy rainstorm of Sunday wrought great loss to some of the mer- chants in Church street, between Crown and Meadow streets. Cellars were flooded and goods in storage are in a condition that will make them un- salable.
 Complaint was made to Director of Public Works Coe yesterday morning to that effect. He had call from Thomas H. Sullivan of the Hotel Oneco who told the director that he will hold the city responsible for the damage done at his place of business Sunday. Complaints were also received from George c. Pfaf & Son, M. F. Shanley and the Hegel Furniture company.
 Some of the damage suffered Sunday is attributed to the back flow from the harbor. Cellars which are equipped with a patent guard against this back flow. were not affected Sunday. The catch basins are not to blame, either, according to City Engineer Kelley, for if they were not in fairly good condi- tion the surface of the streets where the complaints came from would have been flooded.
 The city intends to relieve the condi- tion next year by building the State street overflow. This will cost about $40, ,000. It will run from State and Water streets into the harbor near Long Wharf. Sewer bonds will be sold to provide money for the overflow. This overflow will help out the Meadow street main sewer in disposing of the water flowing in the streets in the cen- , ter of the city.
