OUR CAPITAL CHOSEN
Russia and Japan Will Talk
Peace at Washington.
UPON THE PRESIDENTS INITIATIVE
Roosevelt. TaIsahira and Durand In
Conference late Last N~fKhf-Rus-
sian PlenipOtentiaries Baron
Rosen and NJ. Nelidon.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-America's
national capital has been selected as
the seat of negotiations between the
plenipotentiaries of Russia and Japan
for a treaty of peace. The choice of
Washington as the location of the
peace conference marks another for
ward step in the negotiations toward
ultimate peace in the far east insti-
tuted by President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Takahira, the japanese minister.
called at the White House late last
night and entered in conference with
the president.
Later Sir Mortimer Durand. the Brit
ish ambassador. called at the White
House by appointment and joined the
president and Mr.. Takahira in the con-
ference.
Minister Takahira remained with the
president until 10 o'clock. The minis
came at the request of the presi-
Perth Amboy evening news., 1905-06-16

dent. who communicated to him Rus
sia's formal acceptance of Washington
as the place of meeting.
The negotiations were the main sub
ject discussed by the president with
the British ambassador along the lines
of moderation on the part of Japan in
regard to demands on Russia. The
conversation, however, which later de-
veloped along general lines. touched
upon Morocco and u number of other
pending questions.
President Roosevelt has used his in
fiuence to counsel moderation on ia
pans part. Germany and France have
also %counseled Japan to moderation.
England has taken the attitude that
whatever her ally, Japan, demands is
right.
Japan may ask an indemnity not to
aggregate more than the cost of the
war and possibly not more than $780,
100000.
Japan to control Korea and the Liau-
tong peninsula and Japanese or inter-
national control of the Manchurian
railway.
Restoration Of Manchuria to China
and renewal of the adherence of Rus
STA and Japan to the principle of the
open door.
From Minister Takahira it was learn
ed that the selection of Washington
was to show the appreciation of the
%belligerents for the services of the
president in bringing about the confer
ence, as it would constitute an act of
courtesy to him and that Russia readi-
" Joined in the suggestion on this
ground.
The official announcement of the Sc
lection of Washington was made by
Secretary Loeb at the White House
and reads as. follows:
when the two governments were
unable to agree upon either Chefu or
Paris the president suggested The
Hague, but both Russia and Japan
have now requested that Washington
be chosen as the place of meeting, and
the president has accordingly formally
notified both governments that Wash
lngton will be so selected"
1t is well understood that the Japn-
nese government will not make known
prior to the assembling of the plenipo-
tentiaries the terms on which she viii
be willing to conclude peace. The Jap
anese emperor is known to desire that
when peace is concluded it shall be
coupled with reasonable assurances
of its permanency. Among well in
formed diplomats 1t is deemed proba.
BILE that Japan's terms once they arc
stated will be regarded by the world rs
reasonable and likely to be acceptable
to Russia.
Japan, it is understood, had already
signified that she would name three
exalted personages' as plenipotentia-
ries, and specific information here

the privy council; Baron Komura, min.
