COUNT CASSINI
WILL BE LEFT OUT
Retiring Ambassador of Too Small
Caiber for Peace Negotiations.
WlTTE MAY BE SELECTED
NOTHING DEFINITE ON EITHER
SIDE

St. Petersburg, June e2.-The Russ
says it is authorized to say that Count
Cassini. the retiring Russian ambas-
sadOr at Washington. viii not partici-
pate in the peace negotiations. but viii
leave the United States Immediately on
the arrival of Baron Rosen. his sue
cessor.
From independent sources the Asso-
ciated Press confirms the statement Of
the Russ that Count Cassini viii have
no part in the peace negotiations
Foreign Minister Lamsdorff is indis-
posed. 1t is understood his condition IS
not serious. but his physician was
called in last night and ordered the
minister not TO leave his bedroom to-
day There is no intimation. however
that this will appreciably delay the
pending negotiations The question OF
a temporary suspension of hOstilities
seems to rest with Japan in the mean
time the chancelleries of St Peters
burg and Toxic are occupied with the
selection Of the plenipotentiaries.
Three on Each Side.
As stated i'm these dispatches last
night, it cannot be regarded as settled
that they will number three on each
side An important consideration re-
curing adjustment is the desire of
each country to appoint negOtiatOTS of
equal rank, and this increases the prob
ability that NJ. White, president of the
committee of ministers, may be one of
the Russian plenipOtentiaTies if the
japanese name the Marquis Ito. presi-
dent of the japanese privy council. 1t
is possible that NJ Nelidoff, the Rus
sian ambassador at Paris, may not 90
to Washington. As dean of the Rus
sian diplomatic corps he was the first
choice of the foreign Office. but he is OF
advanced age and his health is not TO
bust. Besides, NJ. NelidOff is an eX-
ceedingl~ bad sailor, and it IS still an
open question whether he may not ask
to be relieved of his mission. In such
an event it is considered cerain tina:
