DIGNIFIED AND IMPRESSIVE.

Washington. June 17.-Impressive in dignity and number will be the mis- sions which Russia and Japan will send to the Washington conference for although the plenlpotentiaries will be limited to two or three the complete missions with their advisors and at taches and secretaries will each. it is expected, number twelve or more per sons. Papan's plenipotentiaries prob ably will be accompanied by an army and a navy officer of high rank who will act as military advisors to the plenipotentiaries. In addition there will be secretaries and attaches. some of them from the diplomatic service. some from the foreign office and others who will act as translators and record ing secretaries. Russia probably will send a similar mission though perhaps not so large and both the Russian am bassador and the Japanese minister at Washington will place at the disposal of the respective missions their secre- taries and attaches.
 The Washington government vii furnish suitable place of meeting for conference and as soon as a date for its conyening is fixed, arrangements for quarters for the two missions will be made by the Russian and Japanese enyoys here. There have been SO many other important details to be set tied that the state department has moi yet fixed upon offices for the confer ence. In addition to the main confer ence room. retiring rooms. offices for secretaries and a reception room will be needed. Either the capitol or the congressional library are regarded and perhaps the best suited buildings in Washington and in view of the indeii- nite period which rhe conference may remain in session 1t has been suggest cd that perhaps the congressional lib- rary might be preferable to the capitol: for should some unexpected obstruction arise to keep the conference in session until late fin the fall the converting of congress in extra session might neces- sitate the removal Of the conference elsewhere. Whatever expenses are in. cured incident fo the maintenance of quarter will. of course. be borne by the Washington government. If N. Nell doff. the Russian ambassador at Paris. comes to Washintgon a. the ranking Russian Plenipotenfiary. his rank will equal that of Marquis Ito. Al first there was some doubt in the minds of the Japanese as to whether NJ NelidOff possessed sufficient rank for a mission of the omportsnce accorded the Wash inzfon conference in Japan Russia however. at this juncture let 1t be known that the Russian ambassador at Paris ranked even the Russian minister for foreign affairs. Moreover if was pointed out that as the personal representative of his sovereign a Rus sian ambassador could l-e ranked oDly b prince If the royal family.

PROCEEDING RAPIDLY.

St Petersburg, June 1.-The note of the foreign office announcing that the negotiations for the meeting of the Russian and Japanese plenipotentiaries were proceeding rapidly. was printed without comment in the morning pa pers, but the press of all shades Of opinion is discussing Japan's probable terms and declares with practical unanimity for continual ton of the war rather than the acceptance of hu- initiating conditions. In this the news papers are upheld by public opinion, which is veering around to support the war policy if Japan's terms prove too hard. Only the Nasha Ziesn advises Russia that she need not balk at the payment of an indemnity, the cession of the Island of Sakhalin. the renunci- ation Of her right to keep warships in far eastern waters or the surrender of Vladivostok, but the paper holds that Russia must retain northern Man. churia and the vladivostok railroad.
 The Bourse Gazette. which draws gloomy picture of Russia's relations with France, Great Britain. Germany and Austria, the Novoe vremya and the reactionary Sviet sound hostile notes against the United States. The Noyoe Vremya reiterates that Russia's chief enemies in the far east are not the Japanese, but the British and Americans. on account of their coIs- mercial rivalry, while the Syiet ob- jects to Washington as the place of meeting for the plenipotentiaries, de- claring that the atmosphere there is unfriendly and asserting that Russia's representatives will be subjected to prejudicial influences in .the capital Of the emeny's ally"
 All the papers comment on the re- tirement of Grand Duke Alexis from the office of high admiral and a gen eral feeling of relief is manifested at the fact that the present naval regime E ended. T-----s- VI - s.-.
