Tokio.-Tokio has calmly received
the news of American Intervention
and prospective peace. The absence
of assurance that Russia will accept
President Roosevelt's proposal, and
the knowledge that the final consum-
NATION of peace involves the adjust
ment Of series of questions OF para
mount Importance, requiring the most
careful diplomacy and extending over
weeks Of negotiation, coupled perhaps
with the recollection of a previous ex-
perience in the thorny path of the
worlds politics, seem to create dis
position to await final results. There
is, nevertheless, the keenest satisfac.
Ition over the preliminary step and
feeling of deep gratefulness over
President Roosevelt's action.
There is also genuine Thanksgiving
at the thought that the carnage and
horror and waste Of war will soon end
and a genuine hope that the negotia-
lions will bring a satisfactory and en-
during peace.
The national rejoicing and thanks
giving will probably be deferred until
the treaty of peace is signed and all
doubt ended.

Distorted Account of Russian Riot
in London Newspaper.
Ninsk, Western Russia.-The report
published in London newspaper that
100 persons were shot during the riot
ing here recently is incorrect. There
was street riot here Thursday on
Cathedral square between soldiers and
Jews. 1t was provoked according to
the official version by the theft of a
purse from a soldier off duty. His
comrades beat a Jew, whereupon a
crowd Of about 600 of the latter's CO.
religionists gathered to rescue him.
The Jews used stones and revolvers
and the troops were summoned. They
fired into and dispersed the crowd
with the result that one Jew was
killed and twenty were wounded and a
soldier was shot. The chief of police
sustained wound on the head by
flying missile and one policeman was
severely wounded.

THE TEAM OWNERS
REMAIN NEUTRAL
There Will Be No Extension Of the
Chicago Transfers Strike.

There Will Be No Extension OF the
Chicago Teamsters' Strike.
Chicago.-The Chicago Team Own
ers' association, an organization en-
ploying 5000 union teamsters, has de-
cided to remain neutral in the present
labor struggle now in progress in Chi.
cago. Ever since the commencement
Of the teamsters' strike the Team Own
ers' association has been anxious to
have the question of making deliveries
to strike-bound houses submitted to
arbitration. The teamsters, by a unani-
nous vote, refused to agree to the
proposition and for time it was be-
lieved that the team owners would
force strike Of these 5000 drivers
by ordering them to make deliveries
to firms involved in the strike.
In an effort to learn the sentiment
of the members Of the association re-
garding the matter, it was decided to
take referendum vote on the question.
This vote was. completed Sunday and
resulted in 1856 of the members voting
to remain neutral during the trouble
and in three members voting to COM
pei the teamsters to obey orders. The
decision reached by the owners means
that there will be no strike of these
men and the threatened expansion of
the trouble in this direction has been
averted.

PRAISE FOR ROOSEVELT.

Paris.-President Roosevelt's sue

Germany over Morocco to join in en-
thusiastic approval of the American
initiative. Portraits of President
Roosevelt, Ambassador Meyer, Minis.

appear in all the journals, with pic
lures Of the White House as the
scene Of the historic peace movement.

with the exception of a slight sense of
disappointment that France, as the
ally of Russia, has not taken a more
prominent part in effecting the pre-.
liminaries.

foundered off Plymouth on the morn

LINEvITCH is RETIRING
FALLING BACK TOWARD HARDIN
Russian Experts Have No Hope of Vic
tory-Oyama's Successful
Strateuy.
Strategy.

st. Petersburg, June 2S.-The mill
tary experts take anything but hope
full view of General Linevitch's situa.
ton. They do not believe he can be
surrounded, but apparently the ex-
perts do not consider the possibility
of a Russian victory.
Linevitch's retirement to Harbin and
the isolation of Vladivostok seem to be
regarded as foregone conclusions when
Field Marshal Oyama strikes.
According to the latest news from
the front, which is thirty-six hours old,
Oyama after forcing back the Russian
right and center transferred his weight
against the left, compelling the Rus
slams to give ground there also. The
military critics, however, agree that
the frontal movement is only feint
for the development of one or both OF
the Russian wings without which moth
ing in the shape of decisive victory
is possible.
The impression is that Oyama, prof
iting by past experiences, is more
carefully preparing his turning opera
tions, but by the same token the Rus
sian staff declares Linevitch has taken
ample precautions to keep in touch
with flanking movements and that it Is
not possible to take him by surprise.
Occasional heavy downpours of rain
continue at the front.

the Emperor dated June 26th reports

Wreckage and debris were strewn
all about the tracks, which were not
cleared until near evening. dozen
of the freight cars were thrown down
an embankment and piled up on
one another in indescribable confusion.
Wrecking trains from Denver finally
opened the lines.
McAdams, the fireman who was
killed. had been engaged in various
branches of railroad work for period

Colonel Read entertained several
friends with a story of his early travels
through this section. He stated that
he marched over this entire western
country forty years ago, that he built
the first telegraph line which had it's
beginning at Santa Fe and ended at
Los Angeles, and had marched from
Trinidad to the Pacific coast. He also
told story of General Frank d. Bald
win, who was until few weeks ago
the commander of the Department of
the Colorado. He said that in the year
1858, when the general was Lieutenant
Baldwin of the Fifth infantry, he was
In charge of $50 recruits marching
