creed that the Japanese are to be first re-

creed that the Japanese are to be first re-
eeived at Oyster Bay in order that he may
perhaps persuade them to offer a moderate
proposal to Russia. 1t Is reported that he
thinks that by so doing the prestige of the
United States will be enhanced with the Ell
voys and that they will be the more willing
to listen to good advice Immediately arises
the comment that this expression of prefer
ence at the start will make the japanese
only the more assertive and the Russians
the more stubborn. But that Is merely a
speculation. 1t may be questioned whether
the Japanese terms are based upon such
f1imsy grounds that they can be shifted
from hour to hour according to the pleasure
or disgruntlement of the mikados ENJOYS.
In all likelihood the bases for the negotia-
tons have been definitely determined at
Tokyo and st. Petersburg. and no act OF
discriminating courtesy on the part of the
President will change them in any import
ant particular.
There is, perhaps some danger that the
anxiety of the American subordinate OH
Gals to do the right thing may develop
some ludicrous situations. They are
charged with novel duty. Never before
have we as people been in position like
this And it is probable that If there are
any lapses from the strict etiquette of the
peace-making courts the more formal and
gold-laced high functionaries of the old
world will be disposed to smile and be
charitable toward the offenders. They still
regard in our shirt sleeves in the dip
lomatic field and they do not quite under
stand us. But there need be no fear that
in all the essentials of international hospi-
tality and all the proprieties of the occa-
sion the American officials will not prove
themselves fully equal to their task.

Jerome and the Millions.

From the New York Sun.
Making due allowance for all the bosses,
political machinists and heelers and bench
men In every city and every state of the
Union, there probably about thirty
FIVE million male Americans and about
thirty-eight million female Americans
whom the success of Mr.. Jeromes present
campaign would nightly rejoice. 1t Is an
experiment of national interest, with the
sympathies of the onlookers everywhere
Overwhelmingly in favor of the fearless
challenger. First, because public sympa-
thy is always with the brave man of
straightforward methods; secondly, be-
cause Americans love an energetic single
heart; thirdly. because there is a growing
consciousness that never before in the his
tory OF this country has there been such
need of q demonstration OF the power of
the people to select for the enforcement OF
law and the prosecution of criminals men
who shall owe nothing to the political Or
carnations and the grafters therein.

GREAT NAVAL BATTLE
2 Days Fight Results in Prac-
tical Destruction Of Russian
Fleet.

The long expected battle between the
Russian and japanese fleets in the far
East began in the Straits of Korea on
Saturday afternoon, May 27, and con-
tinued for two days, with frequent night
attacks by torpedo boats on the Russian
ships OF Rojestvensky's eight big battle
ships six were sunk and two captured, the
cruisers were all sunk or captured, except
one, and all the smaller crafts, colliers,
&C., went to the bottom or fell into the
hands of the japanese, except five boats,
which escaped to Vladivostok. The Rus
sian Admiral Rojestvensky, was wounded
and taken prisoner. He is now in Jap
anese hospital, with wound in the head.
Besides the loss of ships the Russians
lost about 5000 mem, 900 captured
and 4, 900 killed or drowned
The japanese loss was five torpedo boats
and about 1000 men killed, wounded or
drowned None Of Togo's larger ships
was damaged sufficiently to put it out of
action.
The battle was the greatest sea fight OF
modern times. The fleets were not evenly
matched Russia's was an untried force
Japans was a seasoned and experienced
force While the japanese victory will
eventually end in the total destruction ol
capture of the Russian fleet, the success
was not as complete as was Schley's at
Santiago or Dewey's at Manila.

will assume the duties Of the position about
