TIRED OF
WAR WITH JAPAN
RoOsevelt's Offer Received With Fa-
voT IN Russia.
PAPERS ARE OUTSPOkEN
DIPLOMATS BELIEVE ATTEMPT
FRUtTLESS.
PAPERS ARE OUTSPOKEN

st. Petersburg. June ). 2:10 a. M
President ROOseveIt's tender of his
good offices to bring about peace is
received with general favor in the press
and by the public. and a desire that
some steps should be taken towards
securing an honorable peace is increas-
ingly manifest.
The Russ declares that the presi-
dents offer should be commended as
an act Of friendship tending TO bring
out Japan's terms of peace and Rus
sia's acceptance of an offer which
would not mean surrender on humil-
Eating terms The paper maintains at
the same time that negotiations if
begun must be direct, and that there
must be no Intervention by other
powers.
The BoUrse Gazette says that Russia
must make the best possible use of
the friendly offices of the United States
and Great Britain. This paper. as well
as the SynOtSchesva and the NashaZ-
hisn and others. advances the idea that
Japan VIII be disposed to grant better
terms to the Russian people than to
the buTeauCTats who began the war
These papers reiterate the demand for
zemSky sober to settle the question.
Even the Grashdanin declares per
emptOrily for peace, the NovOe Vremya
alone dissenting to the general chorus
by saying that peace is not so essen
tial as foreign and international enc
mics" imagine. and piCturing Great
Britain, the United States and the con-
tlnental powers as beginning to trem-
bic in face of the yellow danger"
Members of the diplomatic corps ex-
press their pleasur that President
Roosevelt had taken the lead in urging
Russia TO give UD the prosecution of
the war. but they said they were ap-
prehensive that the presidents effort
would be fruitless. Baron Rosen, the
new ambassador to Washington. does
not seem to be accelerating his depart

United States He will sail on July p.

are as yet unexpected, but they are be
iieved TO be great. It thus will be seen
that the matter of railroad concessions
and mining concessions will in the
future become one of paramount i'm
pOrtance-
a French prOtectorate either in fact
or one tacitly existing would mean that
the bulk Of such concessions would go
to French capital because the existing
agreement makes this easily possible.
1t is pointed out that the German en-
peroT foresees this possible development
and that his Moroccan policy is merely
designed to place Germany at least on
an equality with France in the future
development Of the country. There Is
no disposition either in official or COM
mercial circles to believe that the Ger
man emperor in any way wishes to
provoke EOstilities. Under existing
conditions it would be easy to
absolutely close the door against all
but French capital for mining and rail-
way concessions. and this is the cOndi-
ton. as Morocco sees it. that Emperor
William wishes to overcome.

Al EW YORK, June samuel Inter

AT no time since the trouble began
has the prospect for a peaceful and
permanent solution satisfactory to all
interests been so promising as at the
present The next few days are likely
to see important developments in that
direction. Every energy is being di
rected to that end and we are most
sanguine of results. I am not at lib
erty to say more at this time It is to
be hoped that the directors will mean
time assist the situation.

teTmine the question of the syndicate

claim. When the subject is fully I'M
o. HTStOOd l am sure every right-minded
person viii egree that he was morally
as well as legally entitled to the profits

do with il. Whatever else may hap

cure a public investigation of these
baSeless charges. which are so little
understood and which have created
such an unreasOning prejudice III the
public mind. 1t is amazing on what

ment, but we are confident that JUS

Government Weather Report for the
Week Ending Monday July II.

The first of the week was quite
cool, but the latter part was hot;
the mean temperature for the week,
as a whole, was about normal.
Showers were general on the 10th,
being heavy in the extreme eastern
counties and light elsewhere. A few
scattered showers were also reported
on the 18th and 18th. There was
abundance of sunshine.
| Favorable conditions generally
prevailed for the civilizations Of crops
which has been pushed with vigor,
but there is considerable complaint Of
scarcity of labor. Hill cotton and
cotton that has been well worked has
made thrifty growth and is large
but contains little fruit, while the
larger portion of lowland cotton con-
tinues small and backward, and many
fields have been abandoned to grass
and weeds. The cleaning out Of some
grassy fields of cotton has resulted in
considerable injury to stands. There
are few complaints Of blight and
rust. Laying by cotton is in pro-
gress over the southern counties
where there are some fields of early
cotton that are doing well.
Improvement in old corn il quite
generally reported, but the crop is
much below the average and in some
localities is a complete failure. Con
siderable lowland corn has been aban-
doned in the northern portion Of the
State, while in the southern portion,
late corn is doing we'll. Pulling fod-
der will soon commence south. Peas
are generally growing nicely, but in
some sections they have been iniur-
ed by wet weather. Sugar cane and
pastures continue in fine condition.
