WEAVER WINS.
Dunham's Surrender Makes Victory Complete at
 Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA May 30 - State Insurance Commissioner Israel w. Durham, leader of the gas grab or ganization in Philadelphia and whose influence reached far into the interior of Pennsylvania, has internationally surrendered to Mayor Weaver. who opened the war last Tuesday.
 The action of Leader Durham was great surprise to the people of the city. as all his lieutenants and the rank and file of the organization had been given to understand that the fight begun by Mayor Weaver over the gas lease would be fought to finish.
 It had been announced that the fight being made in the courts against the mayors new directors taking office would be carried into select council when the mayor sent in their names for confirmation. The mayor and his friends promptly took up the guage of battle and started to wage bitter war on the councilmen who intended to vote against the confirmation of the new officials
 Leader Durham sent for the gas grab leaders. nearly all of whom responded and pledged their fealty. and it looked as though the fight would be long one. Shortly after this meeting. how ever. William s. Ware. recorder of deeds. a close friend of Durham. called upon the mayor and assured him that he and his brother. State Senator George A Ware. would stand by him. The Ware brothers hold large city con tracts. among them being the street cleaning contract for this year. This move caused sensation. and rumors became current that the organization was crumbling. Mr. Durham sent for some of the leaders. and after a con ference be released them from their pledges to stand by him and made the following announcement: "I have ad- vised my friends not 10 oppose the con firmstion Of A. Lincoln Acker as di- rector of public works and Colonel Sheldon Potter as director of public safety if tbeir names are sent 10 select council by the mayor

 Several weeks ago Mrs T0mlinson left her husband. taking her two chii- dren. aged 9 and : years. with her 10 a boarding house at No. 163 Hanover street.

PEACE MAY FOLLOW BATTLE.
Japanese Mfnister In Conference
 With President Roosevelt.

Japanese Mfnister In Conference
 With President Roosevelt.
 WASHINGTON. May 3O.-Quick to realize the far reaching effect of Ad- miral Rojestvensky's disastrous defeat in the Korean straits and fn keeping with his promise announced | long time ago to do all in his power to bring the belligerents in the far east to direct negotiations at the proper time. President Roosevelt last night received by special appointment Mir. Takahira. the Japanese minister. and a conference followed for the greater part of the evening. Mir. Takahira called at the White House shortly after 9 o'clock last night and was i'm mediately received Earlier in the day the minister had called and left for the president the report of the battle later given out at the legation. Sir Mortimer Durand. the British ambas- sador. who is just back from London. where he was received by the king, will lunch with the president tomor- row. when the whole situation will be thoroughly discussed. Count Cassini. the Russian ambassador. said last night that he expected to see the presi- dent shortly.
 The conference of Mir. Takahira at the White House was not generally known here. At the interested embas- sies and legations during the evening the opinion was firmly expressed that President Roosevelt would undoubted- ly lead the neutral nations In the ef- fort to bring about peace. In last nights conference it is thought that the presidents first object was to as- certain on what basis Japan can dis cuss the question of peace
 At the Russian embassy last night Count Cassini. while naturally de pressed at the loss of life. expressed the belief that when fuller details came in it would be found that Ad- miral Rojestvensky had saved a part of his squadron and that his passage of the straits had been accomplished not without fnflicting great damage on the opposing fleet.
 Talk of peace is premature" the ambassador declared. If the victory be as stupendous as the Japanese would have the world believe the neu- tral powers can scarcely wish for Ja- pan fo t,e allowed to remain without a taste of defea; My belief is that the effect of Rojestvensky's defeat will be the indefinite prolongation of the war. Russia must fight on perhaps for years, but until the tables are turned"

 The possibility of situation of ex. freme delicacy between the United States and Russia over the sinking of an American merchant steamship by the Baltic fleet on Formosa, as report ed by Mr. Griscom, United States min. ister at Tokyo. is considered imminent, especially in view of the positive an. nouncement of tho Japanese ministry of marine at Tokyo that the vessel waa fired on and sunk by the Russians.
