ILLNESS OF RUSSIAN FOREIGN
MINISTER DELAYING MOVE.
MENT. FOR PEACE.
LITTLE HOPE FOR An ARnlsTlCE
JAPAN WILL NOT DISCUSS ISSUE
WHILE OTHER QUESTIONS
ARE UNSETTLED.

Washington, June 24.--It is learned
through official sources that owing to-
the illness of Count Lamsdorff, the
Russian foreign minister, there has
been slight check to the negotiations
affecting Russia and Japan. It Is
specifically stated, however, that this
does not imply that there has been
any hitch but simply that the nego-
tiations have been unavoidably de-
layed for the reason given.
President Roosevelt so far has not
received an answer from Russia to
his latest representations regarding
peace It is believed that the illness
of Count Lamsdorf may account for
this delay While there is no official
announcement on the subject the gen
eral understanding is that these repre-
sentations concern an armistice. Count
Cassini had a long talk with secre-
tary Hay at the latter's residence, but
the visit was primarily a personal one
and no decision regarding the nego-
tiations was reached.

appointed a member Of the council of
The empire and will continue to hold
his position as aide-de-camp general

The announcement Of Admiral Alex.

by the usual rescript of praise and it

of the Far Eastern commission with a
howl of exultation as being the final

Gated to the French ambassadors
abroad for the purpose of informing
the powers.
Uneasiness continues to prevail in
parliamentary circles and among the
public generally concerning the out
come of the negotiations. The bourse
showed renewed depression and prices
continued to decline.
In spite of the reassuring tone of
the official communication issued after
the cabinet council public uneasiness
was apparent over the strained .rela-
tions between France and Germany.
This produced panicky sentiment on
the bourse, where heavy offers of
rentes sent down prices to the unusual
figure of 97.90.
Parliamentary circles also continued
to show feeling Of nervousness and
apprehension. This was increased by
the publication in the sensational aft
ernoon papers of maps showing the
dispositions of the French and German
military forces along the frontier, ac-
companied by interviews setting forth
the gloominess of the situation and
the belief that Germany's reply to
the French note would increase the
difficulties of the government.

A FAIR EXCHANGE.

Large sums of money are no
doubt realized from simple spec
ulation, but the great fortunes
are derived from legitimate and
honest business-where the goods
furnished are worth the price
they bring. Certain famous bust

millions wholly in this way.
Prompt and faithful in every
contract or engagement they en-.
joy the confidence of the public
and command a class Of trade
that is refused to unstable or
tricky competitors. In the long
run it does not pay to cheat or

be advertised with a noise like

they are nevertheless substantiated by
the overwhelming testimony Of photog-
