The suspension IL due to the failure of
the First National Bank Of Topeka. Charles
j. Devlin is president Of both banks. Both
institutions were prepared to open for
business this morning, but long before
the hours Of opening arrived long lines Of
depositors we're ready to withdraw their
funds. The directors, dubious Of the out
come Immediately posted suspension
notice.
Coincidert with the failure OF these two
banks there was fled In this county a quit
lain deed dated June 20 from Charles j.

TOPEKA, Kan. July 6.-State Treasurer
Kelly of Kansas may lose his Job because
Of the publicity given to matters connected
with Devlin's affairs and the failure Of the
First National Bank Among the deposits
of the bank was one Of $3.50 by the
State of Kansas. The law explicitly pro-
hibits State funds being deposited in banks,
providing for its keeping in the State treas
ury. Technically, it Is charged that Kelly is
an embezzler to that extent until the money
is returned to the State treasury. 1t is showii
also that Kelly has deposited 500 900 in
banks in Kansas SIC, City; Kan, wichita i;2it
prohibits the. deposit of State funds out
side of Topeka.
A petition to declare Devlin bankrupt
was filed in the United States District
Court to-day on behalf OF Kansas City
creditors. The claims of the petitioning
creditors aggregate 5000.
The effect Of the action in bankruptcy
will be to set aside the transfers OF prop
erty which have been made by Mr. Devlin
recently, except the transfers Of life in
surance which we're made payable to Mrs.
Devlin.

Special Cable Despatch 10 THE sun.
ST. PETERSBURG, July SIT ia ascertaineo
from official sources that an armistice can
not be arranged. Japan has made 1T known
that she will not consent to an armistlce
until the Russian peace mission has formally
accepted the basis OF her propCs.-s, which
will not be communicated till y peace
conference has assembled
WASHINGTON, July 5-Confrmation was
had In diplomatic circles to-day OF the init
nation contained in dispatches from St
Petersburg that the failure up to this time
to reach an agreement for an armistice
was due to the refusal Of Russia on the one
hand to 60 further than she has already
done in intimating her willingness to cease
hostilities and to do her part toward Sc
curing permanent peace, and the deter
mination OF Japan, OF the other hand
not to Ike the initiative In asking for the
armistice.
The position OF Japan 1t was said by a
man who spoke authoritativey, wac not
one OF continued hostility She was will
ing to make peace, it was explained. and.
pending the negotiations, was willing to
consent to an armistoe. But she will not
take the initiative in asking cessation Of
operations. having up to this time main
tanned the position of victor in the con-
f1ict.
While Russia has indicated willingness,
it WAS said to agree to an armistice she had
not formally asked for one. and Japan was
unwilling to make the first request. 1t
was explained that to do SO might convey
the idea that Japan feared the outcome
Of continued hostilities, and her position in
this respect was supported by continued
declarations Of Russian officers and diplo-
mats up to a very recent time that Russia
had no intention OF making peace, but
would prolong the struggle indefinitely.
Japan's leaders in the peace negotiations
refuse to take the risk Of being accused
in the future Of having sued for peace or
dreaded the outcome of further warfare.
In Washington there Is feeling born Of
earnest desire that ultimately an armistice
will be reached. The resources Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. 1t ia believed, will be sue
cessfully employed to this end.
1t was learned tonight that a tentative
agreement has been reached on the place Of
meeting for the peace commission outside
of Washington for the summer months.
1t will be subject to the Presidents ap-
prevail, 1t is understood that the con-
sideration of the summer resorts on Cape
Ann has been abandoned
No negotiations have been carried on
between Baron Rosen, the new Russian
Ambassador, and Minister Takahira Of
Japan since the formers arrival in this
country looking to the meeting of the
peace ENJOYS. There has been no COM
munication between them of any kind.
Count Cassini the Russian Ambassador,
will leave Washington next Sunday for
New York and will sail for Europe on
the 18th.
