Paper.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. "a
PERSONAL---VERY. James and Stella Green
who adopted a baby in San Francisco four
years ago, send present address to D. III,
Post Despatch?
The advertisement is causing Mrs
James H. Green much wonderment as to
its motive and the identity Of the ad-
vertiser. Mrs. Green says she adopted a
boy baby in San Francisco in July, 1902,
and named him Wilfred Green. No one
knew Of the adoption and all, even her
close relatives, thought the beautiful boy
her own. She has answered the adver-
tisement. but as yet has received no
reply She fears that an effort will be
made to take the child from her. She
is much attached to the little fellow and
said at first she thought of mont answer
ing the advertisement. But feeling 1t
her duty she replied and is now hoping
she will not lose the guardianship of the
boy.

ful that such eaorts as he has felt it
proper 70 make TO avert failure of the
Washington conference might not be
futile
To-day these Developments began to
appear. a report from Embassador
Meyer at St Petersburg of his audi
ence with Emperor Nicholas was re-
ceived, and in addition some important
advices from Portsmouth reached the
President. They were regarded as SO
urgent that as soon as they were re-
ceived in the executive Office in the
village they were carried TO Sycamore
Hill BY trusted executive clerk.
The utmost secrecy is maintained re-
garding the communications. not the
slightest intimation of the nature of
their contents being permitted to be-
come public.
Il is quite certain that in addition
to making q direct appeal to the Rus
sian Emperor to take such measures
as may bring the pending negotiations
TO 4 successful issue, President Roose-
welt has communicated with the Jap
anese Government along similar lines.
Whether that appeal was made direct
ly TO the Emperor Of Japan, as IN the
case OF Emperor Nicholas, cannot be
ascertained. as no official confirmation
is given Of the statement that such a
communication has been forwarded.
An impression is likely to be created
by some recent reports of the Presi-
dents activity in the peace proceedings
that he is exerting the powerful infiu-
ence he wields TO force the ENJOYS into
some sort Of an agreement No such
impression is warranted by the efforts
he has made. From the incipiency Of
the negotiations the President mas been
actuatcd by motives of the sincerest
friendship for both of the belligerents
and by d desire TO do all that in him
lies TO terminate a conflict so sangui-
nary that il has shocked the entire civ
ilized world. In the Identical note
which he directed to the St Petersburg
and Toxic Governments, he expressed
the hope that their representatives
might come together and settle their
differences themselves. Since the en-
voys assembled in America, in an ef
fort to carry out the Presidents sug-
gestiOn, he has followed in spirit and
IN principle the ideas he enunciated in
his identical note.
In the negotiations preliminary to
the conference the President acted in
the capacity of an intermediary be-
tween Russia and japan. When the
plenipOtentiaries arrived in America
and We're received by the President he
assured them that they would be free
absolutely from interference in their
deliberations He made it clear to
them At the same time that If he could
be of any assistance to them in the
accomplishment Of their great mission,
that assistance would be extended
gladly in any proper effort to solve
their differences.
The Presidents offer was appreciat-
ed to the fullest by the c aferrees. and
later they availed themselves of it.
Moved by a profound desire to restore
peace, the President has lent his good
Offices TO the representative of both
the warning powers, but he has re-
Trained from any effort which might be
regarded as offensive either by Russia
or Japan.

LONDON PRESS IS HoPEFUL.
Believe That the Dispute Over Indem-

LONDON, Aug. 25-But that it is felt
itnpossfble that two nations should be
plunged again into the horrors of war
on account of a mere difference of a
few millions of money, which would
speedily be expended in the continuation
of hostilities. Count Lamsdorff's s decla-
ration would be regarded as final words
preceding a breakup of the peace con-
ference.
The London papers, commenting on
the situation, therefore. while admit
ting the apparent hopelessness of the
aspect, do not despair of a peaceful set
tlement. in view of the fact that all
differences except indemnity have been
virtually arranged.

MANILA TO BE REBUILT.
Work Begun to Make It Model City
of the Orient,

Work Begun TO make " Mooei City
of the Orient.
Plans have been perfected and the
work begun of rebuilding Manila and
making it the beautiful city of the
Orient. 1t will not only be clean and
healthEil, with wide streets and at
tractive plazas, but it will be capt.
tai of art as well. 1t is seldom that
such an opportunity has presented
itself in the Orient to make model
city, says the Worlds Work, and the
insular government, with the active
cooperation of the United States gov
eminent, is taking every advantage
Of it.
For example, for years open bitches
throughout the city have been used
for sewage purposes, so that the pub
lie health has been put In jeopardy.
These bitches will be made into clean
canals, spanned by numerous bridges
Pleasure boats will ply on them. A
complete sanitary sewerage system
will replace the present bitches.
But the most interesting feature or
the reconstruction of the city is tha
preservation of the famous Walled
City, which was erected 800 years ago
to repel the Spanish and Dutch invad-
ers. This Walled City has distinct
ly historical as well as picturesque
value.
The work of filling in 155 acres ad-
joining Mallaco will give Manila an
ideal pleasure ground for all the peo-
pie. This drive is favorite resort,
and the view is said to be one of the
most beautiful in all the Philippine
islands. Bandstands will be erected
for popular concerts. Another impor-
tant step is the construction Of COM
plete waterworks system, for which
there has been bond issue of $4,000
coo. The water will be piped from
the Mariquina valley, fifteen miles
away
