the bridge is altogether too bad to satisfy a

ly hope that the latter date may be

Japan has made public the text Of
her reply to the Presidents identic.
al note, through her Minister, Kogoro
Takahira, while Russia persistently re-
fuses to make public her answer to the
Presidents communication. In the
estimation of diplomats generally ia
pan has scored point for frank and
Just dealing in this respect. Russia's
refusal to make public the text of her
reply has thrown her open to suspicion
on two grounds. It is generally as
sumed that the real text of the reply
shows such vast discrepancy with the
statements given out in st. Petersburg
"for home consumption" that Russia is
afraid to have it published for fear that
it will be cabled back to Russia and
will there reveal the extent to which
the Government has been deceiving the
people. If this is the case it will recall
the action of China which, after being
defeated by Japan at every turn, con-
stantly gave out statements at Pekin
describing how the Japs were begging,
on Bonded knees, for mercy and how
the benignant Emperor of the Celestial
Kingdom had determined to show mer-
cy to the miserable and unfortunate
people of the Island Kingdom.
The text of the japanese reply has,
however, suggested another hypothesis.
Japan uses the precise phraseology Of
of the President and has forwarded
reply which must command general re-
spect because of it's straightforward &C.
ceptance of his suggestions. 1t is, there
fore, suggested, and believed in some
quarters, that Russia's reply is of
characteristic "slipperiness' with all
of her diplomatic methods and that she
is ashamed to reveal to the world
the half hearted and elusive mannerin
which she replied to the Presidents
frank and honest communication.

Washington Letter.


(FRoM OUR REGULAR CoRREsPoNDENT)
Saturday, June II, 1905.
The selection of Washington as the
meeting place eff the Russian and Jap
anese plenipotentiaries will prove a
source of qualification to Americans
generally. The President at least, is
entirely confident that the foundations
for lasting peace in the Orient will be
laid at the conference which is to assem-
BILE here in the not distant future.
The place of meeting having been
decided on speculation regarding the
possible date of the conference is now
rife and this has served to demonstrate
how extraordinarily short is the jour-
ney around the world becoming. Count
Cassini, who hopes for an early conven.
ing of the conference, figured out today
that the Japenese plenipotentiaries
could leaye Yokohama on the Empress
of India, one Of the fastest ships on the
Pacific on June 30, reach Vancouver on
July IL and Washington on July le,
making it in an eighteen day Journey
from the japanese capital (Which is on
ly a few hours journey from Yokohama
to The capital of the United States.
II is not generally believed however
that the japanese will be willing to
move with the expedition which would
be necessary to bring about meeting
at SO early date. especially as this
would mean that they would have two
weeks in which to appoint plenipoten-
tiaries, prepare the expensive data
which they will deem it necessary to
bring with them and make their sail
ing arrangements, Opinion varies
widely among thoso best able to judge
Of the probable date Of the conference
