rFRom THE TRIBUNE RuREAu.I

Washington June 15.-Washington has been
selected as the place of meeting of the pleni-
potentiaries of Japan and Russia, and II, as
President Roosevelt confidently expects. a con-
vention of permanent peace is concluded, 1t will
go down In history as the Treaty OF Washington.
The date of the meeting has not yet been de-
cided.
Minister Takahira called ON the President at
il O'Clock this morning and Informed him that
japan was satisfied with the text OF Russia $
note of acceptance. The question of place was
then discussed for little over an hour, and an
hour later the following authoritative statement
was issued from the White House, on the Presi-
dents direction by Secretary Loeb:
When the two governments were unable to
aaree upon either Che-Foo Paris, the Presi-
dent suggested The Hague. But both govern
ments have now requested that Washington be
chosen as the place of meeting, and the Presi-
dent has accordingly formally notified both gov
ernments that Washington will be so selected.
Secretary Loeb added to this announcement
statement that if Washington proved too hot
the conference would doubtless adjourn to some
Northern resort, at which further meetings
would be held Even if this course be pursued
1t is expected that the final agreement Will be
reached and a convention signed in Washington
1t is learned that the President will be pleased
to place at the disposal of the plenipotentiarles
two naval vessels presumably the Sylph and
the Dolphin) to convey them to any resort which
may be selected.
While further details have not been perfected,
it is probable that the President will return
from Oyster Bay to welcome the Japanese and
Russian commissioners to the national capital,
but will go back to his summer home as soon
as they begin their negotiations.
WHY WASHINGTON WAS CHOSEN.
Up to this morning the President hoped that
he would be able to induce both belligerents to
agree on The Hague as the place of meeting, as
he held that the sentimental reasons for select
ing the birthplace of organized international
arbitration for the nativity of peace which he
believes will be lasting were exceptionally
good. Japan's opposition to the selection of any

WEAVER DIGS UP SCANDAL
OYER s21, 100000 INVOLVED.
Durham's s Connection zeath Contracts
Sho5cm in Court.
Ipr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]


Philadelphia, June 15.-The most sensational
and far reaching action thus far taken by
Mayor Weaver in his war on the Durham ring,
order issued late this afternoon sus-
pending all work on the $21.OOO,OO0 filtration
contracts. At the same time it announced
that John W. Hill. city filtration engineer had
resigned. that his resignation had been accepted,
and that detectives had been placed on guard
at his office at the filtration plant. His office
in the City Hall taken charge Of immedi-
ately by Thomas I. Hicks, Assistant Director Of
Public Works.
This blow fell on the gang after revelations
Of most sensational character had been made
at the preliminary trial of Select Councilman
Frank L. Caven, who was charged with con-
spiracy in furnishing sand for the filtration
works. He held In $500 bail for court.
but the whole trend OF the prosecution went TO
show that Caven was dragged into court merely
in order that evidence might be obtained for the
prosecution of the men higher up"
This purpose carried out with startling
results, for testimony was dragged forth from
unwilling witnesses to show that lower bidders
for the giant filtration contracts arbitrarily
ruled out, and that a reimbursement
dered in order to give the contract to Daniel ].
McNichol: that Daniel ]. McNichol really owns
only one-twelfth interest in the firm bearing
his name, and that Israel W. Durham and State
Senator James P. McNichol. or Mrs. McNichoi.
owned the other ven-twelfthE. This is the
first time 1t has been shown that Durham was
city contractor, and the first time that it has
been declared in court that there was juggling
in the award of the great filtration contracts.
The contracts were awarded IN the Ashbrfdgo
administration. and charges of fragrant juggling
have often been made in newspapers, but 1t
manned for Mayor Weaver to bring them out IN
court.
His action in suspending work the plants
caused panic in the organization. 1t is taken
to mean that all the McNichol contracts. involv-
ing many millions, are to be investigated to the
bottom, and that If they found to have been
obtained by fraud, they will be revoked.
Immediately after the Caven hearing Durham
and ]. P. McNichol went to Atlantic City. where
tonight they refused to be interviewed.
Contrary to expectations the meeting of City
Councils this afternoon was entirely harmonious.
with Mayor Weaver in undsputed control. The
committee on street railways decided to report
favoraby the bills repeating the street railway
grab" ordinances When the repealeCs were
presented they were, under the rules. laid over
for printing. A reason given for the failure Of
the Republican organization to fight the Mayor
on the trolley franchises is that the traction
company contemplates taking the to the
courts.

PATRICK EXECUTION SET
Week, of august -Repr1eUe or
Stag Likely.

Albany June 15.-The Court of Appeals this
afternoon fixed the week beginning Monday.
August as the period in which shall take place
the execution at Sing Sing Prison of the death
sentence on Albert T. Patrick. whose appeal
from conviction Of the murder Of William M.
Rice the court denied last week.
1t is probable, however, that the sentence will
not he executed at that time because ex-senator
David B. Hill is preparing further steps toward
a motion for reargument in the and will
almost certainly either reprieve from
the Governor or a stay OF execution from some
Judge of the court. This would defer the mat
ter until October. before which time the motion
cannot be argued, the court is likely to take
a recess tomorrow for the summer.

location IN Europe was however, 30 clearly
manifested in this mornings conference, while
Russia remained utterly opposed to Asia, that
the President compelled to abandon the
sentimental idea and content himself with as
surfing both diplomats that the American capital
would be glad to welcome their'respective coun-
tries representatives.

over'an hour and is presumed to have related.

for the assembling of the conference. it being
the effort of the President to secure the ap-
pointment OF day in the near future 1t is
generally believed that the plenipotentiaries
not reach Washington much before the middle
Of August-possibly lateE. The duration of the
conference must be, necessarily, purely a mat
ter of speculation. but 1t is recalled that when
the commissioners for the United States and
Spain met in Paris in 1898 they were in almost
continuous session from October until Decem-
Der 10, despite the fact thst the problems which
confronted them were far less intricate than
those which the Russian and Japanese commits
sioners will be called on to solve. In that in
stance the major portion of the differences be-
tween the United States and Spain had been
eliminated by protocol in advance, while it
now seems probable that none of the many
questions at issue between Russia and Japan
can be disposed of before the actual meeting Of
the peace conference
The only available place for the formal ses-
sons of the plenipotentiarieS in Washington is
the diplomatic reception room of the Depart
ment of State, adjoining Secretary Hays Of
flee. This fine apartment is admirably adapted
for the formal sessions, from the exhibition Of
credentials and the various meetings to discuss
articles up to the final signing of the defnitive
treaty. The crowded condition of the building,
however, precludes the possibility Of the two
