which produce misunderstanding, con.

whining, complaining, fault finding, OF
envy, jealousy, SANDER, OF malice, In

The response to the public speaker Is
reciprocal to his power. If he be dull,

MEETING PLACE
NOT YET CHOSEN
Washington May Be Agreed Upon by
Russia and Japan.
DECISION EXPECTED SOON
NEGOTIATIONS HALTED IN THE
MEANTIME.

IAE ASHINGTON, June 14.-GraduaIIy
w the negotiations for peace in the
far east are nearing a focus. The
one point to which the energies Of those
directly concerned in them now are be-
ing directed is the choice of place
for the holding of the conference Of the
pIenipotentiaries of the beIligerents.
1t is known officially that three cities
now are under consideration by Russia
and Japan These cities. named in the
order or the likelihood of their final Sc
lection, are Washington, The Hague
and Geneva.
No Decision Reached.
Thus far no decision has been
reached. Paris and London have been
eliminated from the equation It is I'M
derstOOd that the Russian government
objects to an Asiatic city. its prefer
ence being for some European capital
After Directing to the holding of the
conference in Paris the japanese gov
eminent expressed a Willingness to con-
slider other places which afforded ad-
equate facilities although If Is assumed
that Japan's preference would be some
far eastern city practically within the
theatre of war
Finally. however. the selection seems
TO have narrowed down to the three
cities named Objections have been
made by the japanese to The Hague,
but il is not believed that those objeC-
lions are fundamental or UnaIterable.
Washington Most Likely.
However. as the situation now is,
Washington appears to be the city most
likely to be selected. 1t can be said on
authority that if the conference is held
in the United States il will be in Wash
ingtOn. No other place in this country
has been considered seriously.
An announcement Of the selection of
the place of holding the conference is
expected within a few days It may
come tomorrow. and II may not come
for several days. Thus far President
Roosevelt has acted merely as an in
termediary between Russia and Japan
gaTding the selection of a place of con-
ference. He is in no sense of the term
an arbiter. Should a deadlock ensue-
a condition that is regarded as quite
uniikely-it is not improbable that the
president may be requested by the two
powers to name the place of conference.
Armistice to Be Arranged.
After the selection Of the place of
meeting of the pIenipOtentiaries the two
governments will name those who are
to represent them. respectively. at the
conference. Then an armiStiCe between
the contending armies in the field viii
