Likely To Be Signed On The
Field OF Battle.
BY THE TWO COMMANDERS
Correspondents Appear to Believe That
Before Armistice Is Signed a De-
cisive Battle Will Be
Fought.

Washington, June 17.-Alone on the
plains of Manchuria, midway between
the two great armies, the Russian and
Japanese commanders will meet to sign
the armistice which win pave the way
for the Washington conference, if the
present tentative programme is follow
ed. Exchanges on this point are now in
progress between Toxic and St. Pc
tersburg via Washington, but no final
conclusion has been reached. 1t was
first thought preliminary protocol
uight be signed at Washington provid-
ing for a temporary cessation of hostih-
ties, but in view Of the fact that this
concerns directly the armies in the field,
it il believed that the belligerents will
agree that arrangements for the arfnis-
tice may best be entrusted to Linevitch
aud Oyaina. the respective commanders
iu chiefs, who in such events, would
be telegraphed special powers to sign.
The time limit Tor the armistice has
NOT been fixed, but it will be compara-
lively brief, that the conference may
be assisted ms much as possible.
Prior to the signing OF the armistice,
however, viii come the official announce
ment Of the Russian and japanese pleni-
potentiaries. Russia has indicated that
her mission will be headed by Nj. Nell.
doH, the Russian ambassador ait Paris,
and it is understood that the Emperor
has requested Marquis Ito to head the
japanese mission, although the distin-
guished president of the privy council,
SO far as IS known here, has not finally
accepted, Only his health would cause
him to decline in which event Field
Marshal Namagata probably would be
selected in his place, Neither country
has suggested the names of the other
plenipotentiaries nor has the number
finally been agreed upon, though the
belief last night was that there will be
three on a side.
With Marquis Ito it is believed will
come one OF the other great statesmen
OF Japan, who has wide diplomatic ex-
perience, and Mr.. Takahira, the japanese
minister, it il suggested here, may be
named as a third plenipotentiary

LITTLE EVIDENCE OF BRIBERY.
Rumors at Chicago Result in Little Tan
gible Result.

Chicago, June 17.Although rumors
OF exposures of bribery in connection
with the teamsters' strike were numerous
yesterday there was little tangible evi-
denee to support them. Assistant States
Attorney Fake declared that the testi-
mony given yesterday before the grand
jury maintained the interest created by
the evidence of Thursday.
The strike was almost dormant. But
for the sight of policemen and deputy
sheriifs riding on delivery wagons there
would have been no evidence whatever
that 4 strike was in progress. The bust
ness houses and express companies have
reached almost normal stage in their
deliveries There is no present pros
peet Of peace.

EXPECT A BATTLE.
War Correspondents Thinks One is Prob
able.

London, June 17.--The practical cer-
tainty now that peace negotiations can
not begin Tor another month leads to
the conviction that another great battle
viii be fought in the interval.
According to the Daily Telegraph's
Tien Tsin correspondent, Japanese
forward movement has already COM
menced in spite Of the rainy season.
The Daily Telegraph's Toxic cores
pondent gives an interesting idea OF
the situation from correspondent
who is said to be IN good position to
know the actual facts. This CORE
sPondent says that the principal Rus
sian depot is at Gunshu pass, whence
many light railroads are being constructed
northward to facilitate retreat. Lieu
tenant Genera Lineviteh bewildered by
the strategy of the japanese, is making
repeated reconnaissance and throwing
out innumerabe scouts. Nevertheless.
at the present moment, the correspondent
says, all his army is completely en-
Neloped. The Japanese army has made
2 circle Of a hundred miles in circum-
ference around Lineyitch and is gradu-
ally closing in.
The Japanese military correspondent
OF the Morning Post says the Russian
evacuation OF 0moso shows that General
hainamuras army of the YaIue.r de-
spite the difficulties met with over a
mountainous country, has arrived in
time TO synehronize with the movements
of the other japanese armies. and. the

tice Of the date of his execution for
the murder of Millionaire William Marsh
Rice was served upon Albert I. Patrick,
the lawyer, in his cell in Sing Sing pris-
on yesterday. The date is August &.
Patrick was busy writing and did not
seem to be the least disturbed by the
warden's announcement. He said the
court had nothing else to do but set
new date for the carrying out Of the
sentence, but he intimated that the
warden would not be called upon to
enforce the death penalty on that date
and that steps would be taken at once
to secure another appeal for a new trial
Patrick was exceedingly cool during
the interview with the warden and as
the latter finished reading TO him Pat
rick remarked that he had not by any

HE THREW HIMSELF
In FRONT OF TRAIN
Augustus ]. crotto of Sudbury Com
mitted Suicide at Brandon Yester-
day-Body Was GROUND I1to
MangIed Bits.

Brandon, june 17.-Augustus j. Croft
TO, 81, of Sudbury, committed suicide
yesterday by throwing himself in front
of the 1915 train as it was pulling
out of the Brandon station. Death was
instantaneous, the wheels of the engine
passing over his body.
Mr.. Crotto, who was a contractor
and builder, was on his way to Ver-
gennes, to look after some business
there. He drove to Brandon from Sud-
bury and intended to take the train
north. He appeared uneasy and preoc-
cupied and just before the train reached
the station was seen to walk along
the track and get behind pile Of lum-
ber. When the train pulled out he
suddenly jumped into view and threw
himself upon the track. TIE train had
not reached the end Of the yard but
was rapidly gaining speed and the en-
gineer was powerless to avoid running
over the man. The train was stopped
at the length of three cars but the
engine had passed entirely over the body
about midway, nearly severing it, both
arms and both legs and the skull being
crushed. The man was identified by
persons who knew Crotto and by papers
in his pocket. The body was taken to
the local undertaking rooms and pre-
pared for removal to Sudbury where the
funeral will be held Sunday.
Mr. Crotto was man highly re-
spected IN the community IN which he
lived and where he owned home. For
the past few months he had been i'll
with stomach trouble, which induced
melancholia, from which hcs had been
suffering for some time. His family re-
lations were Of the best and there Is
no other cause assigned for the deed.
He is survived by wife and two daugh-
tiers, Mrs. F. i. Austin of Burlington
and younger daughter here.
