RUSSIA AND JAPAN TO CONFER
Rooseveit's Good Offices May Result in
Peace-Place of Meeting Yet
to Be Named.

surances that the Presidents efforts to
bring Russia and Japan together to
discuss peace will be crowned with
success was brought to the White
House yesterday by Count Cassini.
Russian ambassador. who called by ap-
pointment and in the name of EN-
peror Nicholas formally accepted the
Presidents offer of good will"
The following official statement re-
garding the conference was issued at
the White House:
Ambassador Cassini has called to
express the Russian governments as
sent to the Presidents proposition and
to state that they would appoint pleni-
potentiaries to meet the plenipoten-
tiaries of Japan to discuss the question
of peace. The place of meeting is at
present being discussed"
Conferences of supreme Importance
were held yesterday in Washington.
The blue room of the White House was
the scene, and President Roosevelt.
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa-
dor, and Kogoro Takahira. the Japa'
nese minister, were the principal con
ferees.
Japan was the first of the two pow
ers to indicate its acceptance of Prest
dent Roosevelt's proposition. The
formal response to his identical note
of Thursday last was received from the
Japanese government Saturday.
Informal assurances Of acceptance oi
the Presidents suggestion were re
ceived from the Russian government a
little later, but the assurances from st
Petersburg were not of the same def
mite character as had been received
from Toxic.
Early yesterday Ambassador Meyer
at st. Petersburg, informed this gov
eminent Russia had accepted the Pres
ident's proposition and would name
representatives with plenary powers tc
meet plenipotentiaries of Japan.

of Russia's desires as to the place OF
meeting of the plenipotentiaries and
named those who probably would be
delegated to represent the Russian EN-
peror.
In regard to place of meeting the
situation is this: Japan does not wish
