President Again Talks
With High Diplomatists

Although the outlook for peace IN the
Far East does not appear encouraging
at the present time, il is the general
belief that President Roosevelt has by
no means given up hope of bringing in
fuence to bear upon the Car which
will cause him to disregard the advice
OF the grand ducal party at st. Peters
burg and make some move toward the
opening of negotiations with the Mi
kado.

had been at the White House yesterday.

dent two hours yesterday.
All these conferences are taken TO
mean that vigorous effort is being
made to induce the governments repre-
sented by these diplomats TO unite in
using influence at ST Petersburg TO
bring the CZar TO q sense of the futility
OF a prolongation of the war.
This action on the part OF the powers
may be concerted or II may be merely
simultaneous. 1t Is believed that the
Car himself would like to be placed
gracefully from its present warlike
stand. Although he Is under the domi-
nation of the war party at St Peters
burg now. il is hoped that if the united
influence Of the United States and the
European powers can be brought to

That agreement will. by its terms,
remain in force until 1903. 1t has al
ready served a valuable purpose during
the present war, and Great Britain. has
with reason been congratulating itself
upon the far-seeing craftsmanship witch
produced 1T. and is looking forwe ro to
its renewal in even more binding form.
According to information which has
reached here, an effort will be made to
have the now treaty between Great
Britain and japan provide that when
ever japan shall be attacked, Great
Britain shall come to her assistance;
and that whenever Great Britain shall
be attacked in her ASiatic possessions,
Japan shall come to her aid.
With such a combination, the peace of
Asia, in the opinion of diplomats, would
be assured for generations. india,
point, would be safe from attack and
all Of her important colonies IN that
part of the world would be enabled to
continue their growth OF commerce,
prosperity. and population, in security.
Would Hurt Russia.
With such q program is demonstrated
the futility Of the hope expressed by
| some sections of the Russian press that
a continuance of the present war for
year or two would reduce Japan's ffnan-
cial resources to such an extent as to
iSTce heF 10 Hiuch more favorable terms
than she is now willing to consider.
England. If necessary, will finance the
war. She would never. it is thought
here, allow her ally to become embar
rassed through lack of funds.
In Europe, the effects OF the war are
likely to be no less striking than in
Asia, Russia's defeat will contribute
to the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of Germany. but
that instinct of preservation which
finds one of its expressions in the de-
sire for the maintenance of the balance
OF power, Is already making itself mani
fest. The determination that no one
power on the Continent of Europe shall
achieve overwhelming preponderance is
cordiale that has been established be-
tween England ana France, and,
through the medium of the Moroccan
situation. it is believed here that a def
mite alliance between those two coun-
tries may be a development of the near
future.

said All three are hideous. They
have no character, no history In the

after they have faded into soft, rent
niscent tones. Our pinks and light
blues and yellows are exquisite, having
originally been strong, rich hues. Look
at this magenta scarf embroidered in
gold which was bought in Damascus.
Is it not derGnGG'? Yet compare 1t
with the magenta sih handkerchief the

is that much difference beiwe your

with you people here Is that you can
not stand strong colors We love them.
