POWER TO SETTLE.
Chicago Teamsters Elected Committee
Last Night.

Chicago, June THE teamsters' Joint
council last night appointed committee
with full powers to settle the strike and
today conference win be arranged
with the employers.
The appointment of the committee
followed Che announcement Of Attorney
Mayer who, speaking for the employers
association, said two days ago that no
more conferences would be held with the
men unless the committee came to the
meeting with full powers to act. The
teamsters' joint council last night ap-
pointed the committee. 1t is composed
of one representative of each union in
volyed in the strike.
At mass meeting Of the trucl;
drivers called to consider the question oil
arbitrating the demand Of the Team
Owners association for deliveries to
the boycotted houses, it was decided to
decline the arbitration, notwithstanding
the fact that the agreement between the
teamsters and the team owners associa.
ton contains a provision calling for ar
bitration in exactly such cases as the
one under consideration. The action oi
the truck drivers, however, loses much
of its Importance compared to the ap-
pointment of committee empowered
BY the men to settle the strike.

Ambassadors Cablegram Not
Even Acknowledged.
DIPLOMATS ARE QUIET
Resignation of French Minister, M. Del
casse, Is Said to Have Added Com
plications to Peace Prob
lem.

Washington, June Pending the
decision of the car regarding war or
peace in the Far East the president
has the European ambassadors with him
In daily conference. They have agreed
that silence regarding their activity is
necessary, and word to this effect has
been passed along lest Russia take Of
Tense and go contrary to what the neu-
tral powers believe to be for her own
advantage.
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa-
dor, remains without advices from St.
Petersburg that throw any light on the
probable policy of the czar.
The ambassador has not yet received
an acknowledgment Of his long cable
gram of last week regarding his con-
ference with the president. That cable
gram was sent, not for the purpose OF
transmitting any message to the car,
but, acting on his own initiative, the
American ambassador made faithful
report OF what was desired at the time
as an informal and general confirma-
ton No formal tender Of mediation
was made, nor was any reported. The
ambassador, however, felt that his gov
ernment should be in possession Of the
views expressed by the president to him
in favor of peace, and therefore incor-
pOrated them in his cablegram. 1t Is
expected that later on the Russian em-
bassy here will be informed whether
the result OF the battle in the Sea Of
Japan has affected the determination of
the St. Petersburg government to con-
tinue the war ANY information on
this subject will be promptly placed be-
fore the president.
Peace talk was temporarily supplant
cd in diplomatic circles yesterday by
comment upon the resignation Of NJ.
Delcasse, and the developments in the
Moroccan situation. 1t is believed here,
however, that the effect of the retire
ment of the distinguished diplomat will
te to increase the opportunity of the
president aud the ambassadors at WASH
ington, In the efforts toward peace nego-
tiations. Commenting on this last night,
European diplomat said
nWith nj. Delcasse at the head of
the French foreign office, his intimacy
with Lord Lansdowne gave TO London
and Paris splendid opportunity for
concerted action that would have in
duced Russia and Japan to talk Of peace.
The retirement of M. Delcasse must nee
essarily have an effect upon the Anglo
French entente as well as the Franco.
Russian alliance Not only was M. Del
casse largely responsible for the former,
but he was generally recognized as the
best friends Russia possessed in France.
@The Radical party, which is now in
power, Is not so friendly to Russia as
was nj. Delcasse Without Delcasse's
assistance, Lord Lansdowne can hardly
hope to accomplish much towards peace.
This latest development only increases
the opportunity of the president, with
assistance already assured him from
Berlin, to lead neutral powers in assist

HARMONY DESIRED.
Vermont Marble Dealers Asked to Meet
Convention.

Rutland, June 7.--At yesterdays ses-
sion of the International Association Of
Marble Workers convention it was
voted to invite the members of the
Vermont Marble Dealers association tx
meet the delegates to the present con
vention before it ends, with a view Of
bringing about a change in the local
situation and establishing better m-
dertsanding between the union men and
the dealers.
There are two dealers associations
the national and the Vermont. The
former already has signifed its inten.
tion Of working in harmony with the
unions. 1t is planned to induce the yer.
mont association to do the same. Be-
cause of the increasing amount of mar.
bic work being done this is all the more
desirable. Since the convention opened
an application for charter at Houston,
Tex, has been received.

PEACE SENTIMENT GROWS.
Emperor Is Still Silent on the War
Situation.

st. Petersburg, June Z, 2:35 M
Beyond the statement that the advisa-
bility of confding the opening of peace
negotiations to President Roosevelt in
the event that the time has arrived to
Indicate to Japan Russia's desire to
end the struggle, was presented in a
favorable light, no definite announce
fnent can be made at this hour re-
garding the result of Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff's audience with the emperor
on the subject Of Count Cassini's de-
spatch communicating the presidents
practical tender of good offices. 1t can,
however. be stated in addition that
Grand Duke Alexander Miehaelovitch,
the emperor's brother in-law, who un-
doubtedly exercises a greater personal
influence with his majesty than any
other member in the imperial family,
and who until the disaster to the Rus
sian fleet was the most uncompromising
advocate of war to the last ditch, has
Joined Grand Duke Vladimir. uncle of
the emperor, in counselling the conclu-
sion of peace.
Grand Duke Vladimir at a recent
family council while urging the futility
Of continuing the struggle, stoutly main
tanned that the loss Of Manchuria and
even Of portion of eastern Siberia
would not mean the ruin of Russia
prestige, but that she could continue
to grow IN influence and power, Just
as Great Britain did after the loss of
her American colonies.
Another convert made by the advo-
Gates Of peace is Admiral Alexieff. With
Grand Duke Alexander MichaeIovitch,
Grand Duke Vladimir and Admiral Alex
Jeff on the side of peace the backbone
of what has been denominated the war
party, seems to have been broken. New
ertheless the final word rests with the
emneror himself.
