RUSSIA Is SATISFIED
TO MEET IN WASHINGTON

mittee of ministers, continues to be mem
toned, but there is no evidence that the
Emperor will give him a pr1er TO conduct
negotiations Considering his well known
views against Russia's aggressive policy
In the far east the sanction or M. Witte
would be regarded as tantamount to an
assurance that peace would be the out
come.
The selection of Washington makes 1t
certain that several weeks must elapse
before the meeting of the negotiators.
Unless the President on his own iniative
is able to induce the belligerents in the
meantime to agree to an armistice, the
fear Is general that the interim will wit
ness another bloody battle In Manchuria.
Russia, while she could not place herself
in the position of directly requesting an
armistice, might welcome II II the siig-
gestion came from the President. Doubt
is expressed In certain quarters as to
whether even an appeal by President
Roosevelt could induce Japan 10 rorego
her strategical advantages to strike an
other blow.

SET CALF ON FIRE.
Gadsden Man Determined to Get Rid
of Insects.

Gadsden, June 15.-(Special.)-
East Gadsden was the scene of an in
humane and at the same time an
amusing incident yesterday morning.
Charlie Marker. a citizen of that place,
had a calf that was very lousy, and
in order to get rid of the lice he sat
urated the calf in coal oil and set the
calf on fire, having first procured a
sack which he had dampened to put
out the flames when they had burned
enough to kill the lice.
The calf became frightened at pain
and bolted out of the barn, knocking
over a cord of wood. and was last
seen going at a rapid rate across a
ten-acre field will its body in a sheet
of flames. The calf was found later
but little the worse for its awful ex-
perience, minus it's hair as well as
the lice Mr.. Marker says he will not
try this method of getting rid of the
lice again.
