PEACE DELEGATES ARE
 ANNOUNCED BY RUSSIA
TENTATIVE SELECTION MADE OF IT. NELIDOFF AND BARON
 R0SEN

Former is Ambassador to Paris and the
 Latter on His Way to Succeed Count Cassini at Washington-Russin Hay- ing Taken the Initiative Japan is
 Now Expected to Make Plenspotenti-
 aries Known-WnI Probably be Ko-
 mura and Takahira.
 Washington, June 2S. Russia has given assurance of it's intentions in the peace negotiations by placing the pres ident in possession of the tentative se- lection of her plenipotentiaries, as fol-
 lows: M. Nelidoff, the Russian am-
 bassador at Paris. and Baron Rosen,
 the newly appointed Russian ambassa-
 dor at Washington. Russia thus hav- ing taken the initiative, it is believed that Mir. Takahira, the Japanese min ister, during his call at the White
 House to-day, informally told the pres ident that Japan's selections, also ten t9tive, were Baron Komura, the Jap- l anese minister for foreign affairs, and
 Kogoro Takahira, the Japanese minis ter at Washington.
 Official announcement of the names of the plenipotentiaries is withheld for
 several reasons. M. Nelidoff's health
 may not permit him to make the trip, | and pressure of official work may ne-
 cessitate the presence in Tokio of Bar
 on Komura MT. Takahira and Baron
 Rosen are regarded as the certainties, and the. belief is that unless something unforeseen should occur both Russia and Japan will consent to the official announcement of the personnel of the
 Washington conference within a few days. In any event both missions will consent of many advisers, including ar my, and possibly naval officers, and of ficials from the foreign offices in Tokio and St. Petersburg. It is expected that altogether each mission may number l ten or twelve. Should six plenipoten- | tiaries be chosen, both Russia and Ja-3 pan, 1t is learned, have names undes consideration which will enable them to announce their third plenipotenti-
 aries without delay.
 ! In recognition of his services during
 the preliminary negotiations and il view of the high official rank of the
 Russian plenipotentiaries it is believed 1 that the official announcement of Mr.
 Takahira's s appointment will be follow
 ed by his elevation to the rank of sana@s
 bassador. In view of the fact that Ja- pan intends when the war is over to-
 elevate her legations at Washington. I London, Berlin, Paris, Vienna, St. Pet!
 ersburg and Rome to embassies. it is
 believed MT, Takahira's elevation would be permanent.
 Interest regarding an armistice has. largely diminished in the last few
 days, because of the receipt of infornaa-i
 ton that the rainy ssason is beginning ! in Manchuria. It is believed here that I this will serve the purposes of an arm Iistice in preventing a clash before the
 convening of the conference in August
 Moreover, the informal sounding initi-
 ated by the president at Tokio and St.. i Petersburg did not yield much hope for I successful negotiations looking to an armistice until after the plenipotenti-
 aries meet. If Japan is then convinced
 of the serious desire of Russia for
 peace she will readily consent to an arrnistice.

Glass Day os 1905.

Class Day Of 1905.
 As the hour of 2 o'clock approached the ways leading unto the campus be- gan to assume a lively appearance, as the invited guests and the students gathered for the class day exercises. Under the flickering shadows of the campus elms arose the amphitheater erected for the event. In the enclosure on their benches sat the gowned sen- iors smoking their long clay pipes like the Iroquois in council. On the rising tiers of seats were assembled hundreds of guests, the fair sex being in the preponderance. #es*. - outside capered the frisky graduates with the class of '02 playing baseball on the senior diamond As the guests were assembling Yale songs and cheers filled the air, 1902 vie- ing with 1905 in enthusiasm. Shortly after o'clock the exercises were open- ed with the singing of Here's to Good Old Yale.n When the echoes of song had died away amongst the farthest elms James Grafton Rogers of Denver delivered the class poem. The poem is entitled "The Pilotage." The closing verses of the poem follow: Enough! For the lowlands are passed,
 and ahead
 The peaks shoulder alofti Ere this has the highway been smooth
 to our tread, And it's shadows were soft, But the highway must dWindle the
 trails must divide,
 And we cannot retrace! We must brace the detiles with a si-
 lenter stride.
 To hnnd fn Inc nonnf Yet where? Do ye journey afar to the
 peak,
 For a grip on a throne? If those are the desolate summits we seek,
 Each must journey alone; And the chill of a spring or glen can-
 not bribe Your gaze from the trail Nor a scheery, red g1eam from the for
 est-land tribe If you tarry, you fail! The crest on the pass, the last rocky Fen the peak you may win, Just to forfeit it all--for the clouds are
 astir,
 Death is closing you in! Or-chooseT-shalI we lottsr and finger Tn the chill of the glade, Then leave the world puzzled to frown or to smile.
 No, better to turn and to harvest the
 fields
 That may come to your ken, To value the bread that the harvesting eB yields, And to elbow with men; When the harvest is done, when the
 snow fiurries fall
 When the autumn is spent, We may smile in the haze, turn our
 face to the wall,
 And slumber. content!
