THINKS PEACE IS IN SIGHT
Great Britain Will Now Have Much
Freer Hand Than Heretofore
In Controlling Asiatie
Affairs.

Ithaca, n. Y, May Accommodating
drew u. White, former ambassador to
Russia. said tonight:
1.-The japanese victories have signih-
canoe from the fact that they must for
a long time weaken the prestige and
power of Russia in Asia, giving more
free hand to Great Britain than she has
yet had in Asiate affairs.
'Still another and more important con-
sequence of these defeats is that Russia
must be so occupied in restoring her army
and navy and also meeting the demands
OF her people for reforms at home, that
she will have much less influence in Eu-
rope than formerly.
"As to influence within the boundaries
of Russia, these defeats will undoubtedly
force her TO make great concessions to her
people All Russian subjects who do any
thinking at all will be utterly disguised
at the failure of the autoeratic and bu-
reaucratc system, and while no complete
overthrow of the Romanoffs is to be ex-
pected, and while free institutions like
those enjoyed in the countries of western
Europe and the United State can hardly
be granted to a people so unfit to exer-
else them, there will no doubt be great
concessions out Of which in time there
will be developed Il moderate degree of
constitutional liberty.
But we must not expect verp rapid
Improvement Of the Russian masses. The
most important condition to such i'm
provement Is the creation of vast sys-
TEN of schools and, as for a considerable
time to come enormous sums must be
expected In restoring the army and navy,
little will be LETT for such a general edu-
cation Of the people.
LAS to the effect of these recent vic
tories on the termination of the war, they
can hardly fail TO impress both the gov
erning classes and the people with the
need of peace and doubtless a similar ef-
feet will be exercised upon their credi-
tors so that chances of an early peace
would seem to be very greatly increased"

London. May 31.-The English newspa-
pers are still witout anything but the
meagre news from Vladivostok given In
a dispatch received by Emperor Nicholas
from General Linevitch and therefore
are completely mystifed regarding the
fate of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky. The
reports that Nine Rojestvensky received
a telegram from her husband dated Vlad-
ivostok. must be placed among other sim
liar and numerous rumors current, like
Admiral Voelkersam had arrived at Vlad-
tvostok, that he had died of cancer May
81 and other equally unfounded reports
It now seems practically certain that
Rojestvensky is a prisoner
The Daily Telegraph's Toxic correspond
ent says he has it on reliable authority
that Rojestvensky was wounded in the
arm and surrendered.

POSSIBILITY OF PEACE
AFTER LAO YANG.

perhaps after Lao Yang there was a
possibility of peace" said Ambassador
Cassini. IL will not say there was not
an idea of peace at that time in certain
quarters. but now, after this crushing
defeat, never. The Japanese talk of in
demnity Russia can better use this
money in the building of another fleet.
Certainly this is not the time when Rus
STA can afford to take up the question
of peace"
1t is this apparent determination of
Russia to continue in the face of disas-
trous defeats on land and sea which
discourages the Washington government
at this time from taking any positive
steps toward Offering assistance to the
belligerents in coming to an understand
ing. 1t is believed here, however, that
when Russia, through her own agents,
has learned the full extent of her losses.
she may be approached regarding peace
with some hope that overtures will be
welcomed. 1t is such an opportunity for
which this government is watching.

the decision to send the convoy to the rear
compelled Rojestvensky to adopt the
shortest route by way Tsu Island, as
some of the SHIPS could not carry enough

Japan.
Information brought by the Almaz and
published in an official dispatch tonight
Is supplemented by the results of the
interview had by the Associated Press
correspondent at vladivostok with the Of
ficers of the Almaz and Grozny. This
information is very incomplete, as the
Almaz, being scantily armored and carry
ing light guns of little use in a fight drew
off after the first collision with the Jap
anese Saturday and headed for Vladi-
vostok at full speed. The last view the
officers had of the battlefield was at dusk
Saturday, when the torpedo attacks had
already commenced, and the Kniaz Sou
varoff Borodino. Oslibia and the Orel had
gone to the bottom, while the Alexander
III had been badly damaged.
Blown Up BY Submarines.
The Associated Press is informed that
the unpublished portion of the official
dispatch, the contents of which were
sent by a wireless dispatch to Vladi-
vostok before the arrival of the cruiser,
saws that the Kniaz Souvaroff was blown
up. Captain Chagin of the Almaz giving
It as his opinion that the destruction was
the work of submarines.
The captain gives the number of jap
anese torpedo boats participating in the
attack as eighty.
The admiralty also withheld the name
of the craft to which Rojestyensky is
reported to have been transferred, owing
to doubts as to whether it was the de-
stroyer Bunny or the Diyr Bravi.

Nothing Can Excuse Commanders.
The opinion expressed here is that Moth
ing can excuse the failure of the Rus
sian commanders to sink their ships IN
der their feet rather than to allow them
to fall into the enemy's hands, the ad-
miralty advancing the superstition that
the ships were stranded on some shoal
before being surrendered.
The question of inaugurating peace ne
gotiations is not likely to be opened I'M
til full reports of the Russian disaster
have been received. The war party. con-
tinues its defiant attitude and declares
that peace is impossible, while many
Russians who heretofore have been in
favor of peace, but who are now humil-
lated by the defeat of their navy, are
giving their voice in favor of contin-
uation of the war. Nevertheless the
peace party insists on the absolute flu
tility of prolonging the struggle Ever
show to reach decision, 1t is improba-
bre that the government will decide on
the course it will pursue until after the
battle has been decided In Manachuria.
The Associated Press dispatches indi-
cate that Field Marshal Oyama is al
ready in motion and that a grand en-
gagement is imminent.
The government still interdicts the pub
locations of the losses in ships not con-
tanned in its own advice, but SO far as
st. Petersburg Is concerned the truth is
known.

The Coyotc Hunt.

SO far as the capture OF coyotes is
concerned the hunt which took place
in this vicinity last Saturday was Il
failure. Not coyote was found with
in the circle when the lines were clos
ed, although thirty or more had been
scared up and started towards the
center by the various detachments OF
drivers. All OF these escaped, howcv-
err, owing to the fact that the men
VINO took part in the drive were too
widely separated to prevent the coy
0tes from from breaking through the
lines.
More than one hundred people took
part in The day sport and this num-
Der was greatly increased by others
who came to the barbecue in town
after the hunt. Here several hundred
people were fed upon roast beef saGd-
wichcs and coffee.
The promoters of the hunt realized
when it was too late that they had at
tempted to cover too much territory.
Had they arranged to drive over only
three or four sections, instead of over
more than 4 township, the result
would probably have been different.
There would then have been IL fair
chance to keep the coyotes within the
lines. Should another hunt be gotten
up it is likely that Il much smaller
area will be selected for it.
