PEACE PARTY ELATED.
Expects Presidents Action to Influence
the Russian Emperor.

the Hussfnn EmSerOr.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 3-The cabled
reports Of Presidents Roosevelt's conver-
sation with Embassador Cassini in Wash
ington yesterday, implying that the Pres
ident had practically rendered his good
offices to Russia, created quite a sensa-
ton in diplomatic. circles here. While the
idea that the President has taken such a
step aroused surprise IN some quarters, it
was received with urlconceaied satisfac-
ton, in the belief that ii would hasten.th
decision of Emperor Nicholas, the Euro
pean powers being, 1t is pointed out, no
matter how ardently they desire the con-
clusion of peace, more or less embarrassed
There is very good reason 10 believe.
however. that the reports did not correct
ly state the Presidents attitude. He had
already made known to the Emperor in
a personal message conveyed TO him by
ambassador Meyer at his presentation
audience his willingness and desire to
promote the cause of peace. and his con-
versation with Count Cassini yesterday
is believed to have been in the nature,
perhaps, of a stronger reiteration of his
receptive attitude, without in any sense
being a formal tender of his good offices,
which might subject him to rebuff.
Count Cassini's report of the conversa-
ton has been cabled to Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff, by whom 1t will be laid before
the Emperor.
Practically the message has the moral
support of all the great European pow
ers, headed by Russia's ally France.
which have conveyed in the most delicate
manner possible an invitation of their
convictions of the futility of continu-
ance of the struggle. Emperor William is
known to have conveyed such informa-
ton through Grand Duke Michael. who
arrived in Berlin yesterday, and Foreign
Secretary Lansdowne, In behalf of King
Edward is reported to have conveyed
Great Britain's views through Embassa-
dor Benkendorff.

and Pp0clainls Innocence

CHICAGO, June 3.-Johann Hoch, con-
amist, was sentenced by Judge Kertsen
to be hanged on June %. Only a few per-
sons were In court when the sentence
was pronounced. The passing of SEN
tence came after dramatic scene In
court. Hoch forgave the prosecutors r.e
jurors, the people and the many wit
nesses who testified against him and ask
ed that God have mercy on their souls.
He said:
II am convinced that my poor dead
wife was murdered, but am not her
murderer"
The case was before Judge Kertsen to-
day on motion for a new trial After
the Judge overruled the motion. Hoch's
attorney made a motion praying for a
stay OF sentence, but this was overruled
When the court asked Hoch If he had
anything to say why sentence should moi
be pronounced. Hoch replied:
Judge. L am willing to die tonight ii
l am guilty. I am innocent of the crime
but I will say now the crime was com,
mitted. God forgive you all. God have
mercy on your souls. / have no feeling
against YOU If you think 1 am guilty oil
this murder, I am willing to have ms
life put out tonight"
Hoch then sat down. He was self-pos-
sessed, but was nervous Perspiratior
covered his face and he was very pale
Judge Kertsen said:
The court has no doubt that this mar
put that poor, confiding woman to death
the woman you. Hoch. had sworn to pro,
tect the woman who gave you her ALL"
Formal sentence was then passed and
Hoch was taken back to jail

japanese Minister
Calls Upon the
President.
Washington Active
in the Direction
of Peace.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Kogoro Taxa
hira, the Japanese Minister, called at the
White House tonight by appointment. He
was Immediately received by the Presi-
dent and a conference ensued Following
so closely the visit of Count Cassini. 1T
was naturally inferred that the President
took occasion to communicate to Taxa
hira the views of Russia as communi-
Gated by Cassini.
Diplomatic activity in Washington to-
day indicates that the European powers
are prepared actively to assist the Hresi-
dent in any effort he may make in the in
teTest of peace. 1t was learned tonight
on high authority that the German En-
peror heartily shares the wish of Presi-
dent Roosevelt for an early ending of the
war Neither President Roosevelt nor the
Emperor, however, is ambitious to as
sumo the role Of peacemaker. although
anxious to do what is possible to assist
Russia and Japan to enter upon peace
negotiations as soon as practicable.
From information received here 1t is be-
lieved that the King Of Italy can be re-
lied upon to cast his influence for peace,
and the long conference of Baron Mayor
des Planches,. the Italian Embassador.
yesterday afternoon with Count Cassini
after the latter's call at the White House
is but one of several evidences of the
activity of the Kings envoy at Washing
ton in the interest of peace.
Embassador Durand, the British En-
bassador, in recent visit to the White
House placed the President in possession
of the views of King Edward. who would
welcome an early peace. The views of
the French Government are well known
to be of a similar character Several OF
the more prominent diplomats were en-
abled to give their governments the gen.
eral features of the conference with
Count Cassini, and to-day the whole Dip
lomatic corps was aware of the important
words uttered by the President and spec
Hating upon their effect in st. Peters
burg.
For an hour this afternoon Baron Won
Sternburg, the German ambassador, was
at the Russian embassy discussing the
situation with Count Casslni. Thus far
the latter has not heard from his Gov
ernment, and advices from Europe would
seem to indicate that the Car and his
Ministers have reached no definite deci-
sion as to their future policy.

Russia Is Sending
More Troops to
the Front.
Widespread Mobili-
Zation About to
Be Ordered.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 4.-Of1cials of
the Foreign ONCE, though expressing
gratitude for the peace tender by the
United States. adopt a non-committal tone
regarding the prospects of action on it,
saying the decision rested solely with the
Emperor. who, UP to the present, is firm
for war.
On all sides it is realized that the ques-
ton of indemnity will be the greatest
stumbling block in the way of the efforts
OF the peace party. The war faction
urges that If Russia is obliged to pay an
enormous indemnity she might as well
spend the same amount in continuing the
war year or two longer and trust to
financial pressure to do its work on
Japan. They say that Russia'S situation
could not be made much worse.
In Manchuria the reinforcement Of
Lieutenant General Linevitch has been
going on without pause. A traveller re-
turning from Harbin reports passing train
after train filled entirely with troops and
with apparently no reservists.
Yesterday it was reported that wide
spread mobilization was contemplated in
order to give General Linevitch the nee
essary numerical superiority over the
Japanese.

specl.l pLspa.es 70 rh. c.IL

CHICAGO, June 3.-Republicans Of the
West are already making and unmaking
Presidents for 1908. Not alone the shrewd,
ambitious party leaders who are always
in the hands of their friends, but the
rank and file Of the voters as well are fig
uring on the nomination OF the man to
succeed President Roosevelt. Never was
there a time in the history OF the party
organization when there was so wide
spread and active an interest IN the Ques-
ton so long in advance Of the hour OF
choice.
Railroads have sounded popular senti-
ment and read the signs Of the time.
Their long distance forecast Is that Mr..
Roosevelt, however much it may be
against his viii and wish, will receive the
commands of the voters TO run again and
that II he adheres to his promise and
absolutely refuses TO be a candidate, pres
sure viii be brought TO bear upon .-le
party to choose a standard bearer who
will perpetuate the policy OF the present
administration.
Discussion Of Presidential candidates is
based on the hypothesis that the West
. VIII demand a man as courageous and
as good a fighter for the people as is
President Roosevelt.
The candidates are pluming themselves
along those lines. They are watching the
experiment Of municipal ownership in
Chicago. They are keeping tab" on the
railroad campaign of education. They are
closely and carefully studying railroad
rate sentiment as it develops IN the vari-
Gus State Legislatures.
Secretary Taft. La Toilette OF Wiscon-
sin. Vice President Fairbanks, Governor
Dinecn OF Illinois. Secretary Shaw and
Governor Cummins of Iowa and Senator
Foraker are chief among those men
toned" as good timber.
More than any other man in the coun-
try, not even with the exception of Mr..
Roosevelt, La Toilette is identified with
the cause Of Government regulation and
control Of railroad rates. He has just
won a great victory in the Wisconsin
Legislature and his success has advanced
him immeasurably as a Presidential pos
sibility.
