WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Russia and
Japan have tentatively decided each
to appoint three plenipotentiaries to
represent them in the Washington con-
has already accepted the chairman
ship of the Russian mission and Is be-
ing consulted about the selection Of his
associates, but Washington has not
yet heard whether Marquis Ito's health
will permit him to come as the rank
ing Japanese plenipotentiary..
The belief here Is that Field Marshal
Yamagata will be designated in Ito's
place should the marquis be unable to
accept 1t is expected that the confer
die of August.
Pending the official announcement of
the plenipotentiaries little progress to-
ward the arrangement of an armistice
is being had on either side. Japan will
not take the initiative in requesting an
armistice. 1t is improbable, however,
that she would insist on Russia MAX
ing the request. 1t is generally ex-
pected that when the missions have
been announced the president will sug-
gest to the belligerents the advisable
ity of limited truce and that this sug
gestion will be accepted
Instructions will then go to Linevitch
and Oyama to sign the armistice.
No Hitch Expected
The whole question. of an armistice
has been informally discussed at the
White House, and the belief in dip
lomatic circles is that there will not
be a hitch on this score, Japan prefer
ring that the armistice should be
signed in the field by the Russian and
Japanese commanders, and there are
indications that this will find approval
in st. Petersburg.
Pessimistic reports from Europe
about the Washington conference are
not shared by the diplomats here. That
Russia does not go into conference
pledged to peace is fully understood,
but this does not mean that her plen-
ipotentiaries will not come clothed with
full powers to negotiate peace provid-
ed Japans terms be reasonable, nor
does it reflect in any way upon the sim
cerity with which Russia enters the
conference.
Today passed with no signs of diplo-
matte activity. Neither the Russian
ambassador nor the Japanese minister
were callers at the White House, Mr..
Takahira spending part of the day in
an automobile ride.

PEACE PLANS MENAcEp
RQssfagC gComes Dangerously Near Call
ing Negotiations Off
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 1S.-In cer-
tain quarters here envy and jealousy
or the United States are il-concealed.
The entire collapse of the negotiations
was predicted yesterday and there was
almost open exultation at what was
declared to be rebuff to Roosevelt"
In peace circles gloomy faces were
drawn at the report that Russia would
Insist upon The Hague, but thanks
to the personal attitude of the emperor
and to the well put representations of
Ambassador Meyer the threatened di-
plomatic mountain has decreased to a
mole hill over which negotiations can
now proceed rapidly.
The Gazette, which is known as
mouthpiece of the foreign Office de-
ciares that nothing is yet known re-
garding Japan's terms. 1t intimates
that Russia may not balk at an indem-
nifty, significantly stating that inter-
national control of the Chinese eastern
railroad Is possible as means of in
suring payment of an indemnity It
says that the plenipotentiary will have
special powers and may be authorized
to conclude pC<ce.
Although the way has thus been
smoothed for a peace conference the
operations in Manchuria appear to be
in full march toward a big engage
ment, the Japanese having pushed for
ward as far as Liaoyangchungkeng
Uiao YangwopengD west of the Liao
river 80 miles north of Fakumen. The
Japanese have strong forces here as
well as in the rear of Lieutenant Gen
eral Linevitch's advance detachments
near Chantufu and even threaten the
flank of the fortified positions at Sip
inghai, where General Linevitch in
tended to offer battle but from which
he pushed far to the southwark during
the months of inactivity on the part of
the Japanese army.
1t is not known here whether Cen
eral Linevitch will retire slowly OH
those positions, or whether as he inti-
mated recently in an interview with a
correspondent of the Associated Press,
he intends to meet the Japanese flank
ing operations to the westward by a
counter offensive movement.

A murder and suicide with dramatic

Mr.. and Mrs. C. E. Thaisz were found

indicating that death had occurred but
short time previous. Superintend-
ent Baurnan of the of the Thorn ranch
left the car at Casa Verdugo at
o'clock and started to walk to the
ranch. The moon was shining and he
saw by the roadside what he at first
thought to be two persons resting, but
something in their attitude attracted
his attention and he spoke to them.
Upon getting no reply his suspicious
were aroused and he went closer to
them. He was Mortified to find blood
on the ground around the bodies and
there were signs of a struggle.
He approached the body of the man
and saw a ghastly bullet wound in
the left temple. The woman's face
was turned upward and a glance
showed that she, too was dead, bui-

the cause of death.
Bauman hastened to give the alarm
and physicians were summoned from
