 HANDLE AFFAIRS Does Not Want China Repre- sented at Conference ROSEN VISITS OYSTER BAY Peace Conference Will Be Held Either at Portsmouth, N. H., or Port

 Will Go by Boat.
ROSEN VISITS OYSTER BAY

Washington, July 9.-China's S request to be represented in the Washington con ference on the ground that she is vitally interested in it's proceedings. has been received by the President and informally transmitted to the bellIgerents. Whether the President has received the formal re- plies, cannot be learned. but it can be stated that while Russia is inclined to favor the suggestion. Japan will not con sent to it. Japan has already made pub lie her assurance that Manchuria Is to be restored to China.
 That Is one of the principles for which she says she has been fighting Japan regards herself as fully capable of ex. ecuting this promise without the assist. ance of China, and in view of China's inability before the war to cope witf Russia in Manchuria. the Japanese gov ernment is unable to see what possible service a Chinese representative woult be in the Washington conference More over, Japan has all along taken the posi- ton that when peace negotiations wer, begun, they would be conducted directl, with Russia. It is altogether unlilSel, that the Washington government will press the claim of China. and the of ficial view here fails to sympathize witt the idea.
 The past week has seen few develop. ments in the plans for the negotiations Negotiations for an armistice are not ex- pected to be concluded until after the plenipotentiaries meet.

 MT. Takahira, tine Japaneses minister, will he an early visitor at Oyster Bay to discuss the arrangements for the confer ence. It Is the belief here that instead of the President making the tedious trip to Washington to greet the plenipotenti- aries, the plan which probably will be adopted Is for the plenipotentiaries to go to Oyster Bay. the Japanese boarding the Mayfiower at the navy yard, Washington, and the Russian envoys going in the Dolphin from New York to Oyster Bay, where they will be jointly received by the President and formally presented to each other They could go by boat thence to the place selected for the conference, re- turning to Washington at the conclusion of their labors for the formal signing of the treaty of Washington, provided their labors are so successful.

Specfal to The Journal,

Special to The Journal.
Fargo, N. D., May 12.-This section
Of North Dakota has had about three
inches of precipitation this week. In
some wheat fields there is standing
water, but with clear, warm weather no
damage is expected The moisture in
the central and western sections has
been even heavier than here. Persons
who were bowling about a drouth two
weeks ago are now caring gum boots
and praying for sunshine. The moisture
has sunk deeply into the ground and
| it'll higher temperature there should be
remarkable growth of the crops.
Devils Lake, N. D., May ia fierce
blizzard ragged here Tuesday night and
Wednesday morning. The storm was
preceded and followed by showers Of
rain. One foot Of snow was recorded. =
Not since May %, 1888, has such
spring season. In the spring Of 1888,
when wheat stood six inches out of the
ground, a heavy. snow fell, and the
greatest crop ever reaped was cut in
the fall Of that year.
Most all of the wheat has been sown
and bumper crop should result.
Pembina, N. D., May 12.-Many
wheat fields are covered with water.
About. one-half Of the crop is to be
planted yet, also all oats and other
grains, and it will take at least week
before any blowing or seeding can be
done. The outlook for crops sown are
not favorable on account Of the cold,
frosty weather and too much rain.
Webster, S. D., May 12.-Following
three days of heavy rains, the weather
turned colder and two inches of snow
fell yesterday afternoon. This will
cause some loss Of stock on the Fort
Sisseton military reservation, Beach !!
Rathbun having already reported sew
/ Iowa Falls, Iowa, May 12.-Continued
heavy rains have interfered materially
with rn-planting and work has been
practically suspended. Farmers who
aim to have most Of their corn in May
Is are somewhat discouraged. Pastures
and small grain are thriving.
Albert Lea, Mimi, May 12.-Nearly
three inches of rain fell here this week
and vegetation Of all kinds is making
rapid progress. Grain is showing up
we'll and meadow and pastures are grow
ing finely. A large acreage will be
planted to corn and potatoes.
Cooperstown, n: D., May 12.-About
foot Of snow fell here and every one
i, is feeling good over the splendid pros
poets for bountiful crop. Old farm
ers say that good fall Of snow after
seeding is a genuine booster for the
Hoople. N. D.. May 12-About six
inches of snow fell here. Seeding is
nearly all done.

three shots wild and then shot Tomajis
in the back.
The men have been living in Mime

BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, May 12.-An able
bodied rumor is current here today that
Secretary Morton may have to retire
from the cabinet as result of his re-
cent address before the international
Railway congress. The presiden re-
garded the address as being so far from
Wired wi SECRETARY - Taft to reply to it be-

If Morton should remain i'm the cabi-
