ST. PETERSBURG, June 1.-THE Foreign
Office intimates that Count Lamsdor6'
Minister OF Foreign Affairs. has communi-
Gated to Mr.. Meyer. the American Ambassa'
DOR Russia's accept ance, In principle. OF
the invitation OF President Roosevelt to
open direct negotiations for peace with
Japan.
The Foreign Office adds that it must be
distinctly understood that her representa-
tives will be in no sense plenipote ntiaries.
but will confine themselves to hearing
Japan's proposals and communicating them
TO the Russian Government, which will
then decide whether they constitute basis
on which it can negotiate.
1t is understood that NJ. Witte, president
Of the Ministerial Council, offered himself
as member Of plenipotentiary mission,
but on account of the foregoing he was
Informed that there wes no occasion to
utilize his services.
1t is believed that Baron de Rosen, for
merry Minister to Japan; NJ. Nelidotf, Am
bassador to France, md another will act
as the Russian representatives.
SMALLER PROSPECT OF PEACE.
LONDON, June IL Yesterdays peaoe
prospects are almost destroyed, In Eu-
ropean opinion. by the terms Of Russia's
so-oalled acceptance Of President Roose-'
velt's invitation. 1t is a matter OF almost
common knowledge in diplomatic circles
that Japan will not consent to name her
terms until Russia signifies sincere desire
10 negotiate.
It is not believed that Japan will agree
to send messengers to meet Russian mes
powers to negotiate. Least Of all would
Japan consent to grant an armistice under
such conditions.
There is little confidence in diplomatic
quarters in the Cars desire for peace
Still less is there any belief that he would
accept even moderate Japanese demands.
In the present circumstances it will require
the greatest tact and skill to bring about
an actual meeting Of representatives Of
both belligerents.
Should this be accomplished, difficulties
would continue in the initial stage, but the
pressure OF the unanimous opinion Of
Christendom might then avail to prevent a
man of the Cars temperament from re-
jecting peace when it was within reach.
The st. Petersburg correspond ent Of the
Morning Post says that short Of refusing
to send delegates Russian diplomacy could
not have adopted more negative atu-
tude, and unless something meanwhile
occurs to influence the dominant sentiment
at Tsarskoe-Selo there is no legitimate
ground for supposing that peace will be
brought appreciably nearer. The pros
pective conference if Russia maintains her
present attitude will effect nothing which
could not be tabulated on half a sheet Of
note parer

VATERwORKS QUESTION.

" hN n1t tuunis0n own ITS water

time Is fast approaching when the
people Of Gunuison must act 0n this
question. ] believe the plant can be
built within the next year aud paid
for in fifteen years, the extention Of
time asked for on the old company
franchise. Besides Gunnison can
hquidate the S36.OO0 of indebted
ness thai now hangs over it. My
plan is 10 bond the town for sl20,-
600 which would he ample 10 pay
the Indebtedness and construct the
water and light system. The y &c.
900 is due in 1908 and some pro
vision must be made 10 take care OF
it. Why not consider these matters
/ now
4 gravity line OF ten miles from
the Guanls0n river to the Smeller
bill would give fall Of POO feet and
a pressure of Sc s pounds per square
inch. This would require fourteen
inch main with three iourths inch
shell. This system would do away
with steam plant Electricity
could be generated b} a turbine wa
ter wheel with water power. A
/ gravity system would save a great
expense IN fifteen years BY locat-
ing the reservoir on Smelter hill the
main pipe line 10 Eighth street
would be 6323 feet BY laying pipe
lines from the main down each alley,
commencing at the city limits
Ior the east and continuing
t. Eighth street, the total number
If feet To cover the habitable portion
Of the town and furnish fire protec-
ton to all would be $1,000 feet. A
reduction in this amount which is
the branch lines Of the system, can
he made of $500 feet by taking the
main line from Denver avenue down
the alley of the Boulevard and
Twelfth street to OHIO avenue thence
west to Eighth. This would increase
the main pipe line | 100 feet This
would put the water in the habitable
portion of the town ad jacent to every
property as well as every vacant lot
between.
From the report OF ID j McCanne
Of 1901, we obtain the following fig
ures:
Revenues from the water and
light plant per year
Water
From private consumers S2,l225 80
From city 2,1l5.oO
Lights
/ Private consumers 4,1S7 80
CITY $500
The old company presented a
proposition to the city asking for an
extention Of its franchise for fifteen
years and an increase according to
service rendered. This has been
Withdrawn until after spring elcc-
ton. The revenue now asked by
the Gunnison Light & Water com
yany for services to the city per
wear is. for water S211j.00 and for
light Sl272o0.
The new plant as proposed by me
w uld furnish the city at the follow
ing rates:
Water and lights S4O47 90
This is the same price proposed
by the old company for an made
quate supply of water and light
The new plant would put water and
light within the reach of every build
ing and give the town double the
present capacity of water and light
at the same cost. Our city would be
lighted with thirty-two arc lights
