School Notes.

Professor Robinsun has decided not
to teach next year.
Miss Jensen, of Extra, visited
school Monday.
The library books have been chang
ed and about half of the new ones are
out already.
The three rooms will have picnic
in the timber the last day of school;
ball playing, fishing and a feast will
be the principal features.
The Misses Nolty. and Clark ex-
pect to retain their positions in our
schools the coming year. They are
both successful teachers and deserve
this recognition of their services by
a reelection.
During the first month of school
in the upper room, out of an enroll
ment of thirty-five pupils, there
were twenty-five who were not
absent or tardy. The record owing
to the weather, sickness and other
minor causes has not been so good
since then. The rooms will have
final examination this week.

the Japanese government Saturday
Informal assurances of acceptance of
the presidents suggestion were re.
ceived from the Russian government
little later, but the assurances from
st. Petersburg were not of the same
definite character as had been re-
ceived from Toxic.
1t can be said that the place of the
meeting of the plenipotentiaries Of
the two governments has not been
finally selected. In the arrangement
of this detail and others of like i'm
portance, President Roosevelt is act
Ing as an Intermediary between Rus
STA and Japan. Russia, through Am
bassador Cassini, has indicated her
preference for one place for the hold
ing OF the peace conference and ia
pan, through Minister Takahira, has
suggested another.
Official assurance is given that at
present the response made by Japan
to the presidents Identical note will
not be made public from washington
in precise form inasmuch as the Rus
sian reply is not available in similar
form. Negotiations between Wash
ington and st. Petersburg and between
Washington and Toxic are in prog
ress and the final arrangements for
the peace conference, in its essential
details, are likely to be question
of only a few days. AS soon as the
arrangements are completed definitely,
an armistice will be agreed upon.
1t is understood in high of1cial
quarter here that Marquis Ito, Baron
komura, minister for foreign affairs,
and General Yamagata, chief of staff,
are the three under consideration by
the mikado as plenipotentiaries and
that the inclination of the belligerents
is that each select two as plenipoten-
tiaries. M. Nelidoff is understood to
have been tentatively selected by Rus
STA, and it is suggested as possible
that he may be assisted by Baron
Rosen.

RUSSIA SENDS REPLY
CAR FORMALLY ACCEPTS PRES
iDENT's PROPOSITION.
Japan and Russia Will Select Plenipo.
tentiaries to Arrange Terms for
Ending the War in the Far East-No
Hitch in the Preliminaries.

Washington, June 13.-Oficial as.
surance that the presidents efforts to
bring Russia and Japan together to
discuss peace will be crowned with
success was brought to the white
house by Count Cassini, the Russian
ambassador, who called by appoint.
ment, and in the name of Emperor
Nicholas formally accepted the presi-
dents offer of good will
The following official statement re-
garding the conference was issued at
the white house: Ambassador Cas-
SIM has called to express the Russian
governments assent to the presidents
proposition, and to state that they
would appoint plenipotantiaries to
meet plenipotentiaries of Japan to
discuss the question of peace. The
place of meeting is at present being
discussed"
During the past two weeks the
presidents efforts have been directed
toward bringing the belligerents into
amicable contact on the basis Of
mutual agreement to consider terms
of peace. This he has accomplished.
1t remains now for the belligerent
powers to name their plenipotentiaries
and agree upon time and place for
them to meet to discuss terms and to
negotiate a treaty of peace. These
details are now under consideration,
with a bright prospect that such minor
differences as may exist will be re-
solved within a few days.
Conferences of supreme Importance
were held in Washington. The blue
room of the white house was the scene
and President Roosevelt, Count Cas-
SIM. the Russian ambassador, and
kogoro Takahira. the Japanese minis
ter. were the principal conferees.
President Roosevelt now has uHequiv-
ocal assurances from both Russia and
Japan of the acceptance of his propo-
sition that they enter on negotiations
for peace. The president likewise is
assured of the absolute sincerity Of
both governments in acceding to his
suggestion.
Japan was the first of the two pow
ers to indicat its acceptance of Presi-
dent Roosey It's proposition. The
