RusslA's DELAY
Arouses Feeling Of Apprehension
Among Washington Diplomats.

Washington. June 24.--In diplomatic
circles Russia's delay In announcing
her peace plenipotentiaries has arous-
ed feel ne Of apprehension. There
is no lack of confidence on the part Of
the president in Russia's sincerity,
but this delay in the preliminary nego-
tiations, 1t III realized, may have an
exceedingly bad effect upon publiA
op nion in Japan.
So far as an armistice Is concerned,
these negotiations must necessarily be
postponed until the plenipotentiaries
have been announced.
In view of the fact that the negoti-
ations thus far have, for the most
part, been directly with the emperor,
Count Lamsdorff having been consult
ed about details rather than prin
ciples, members Of the diplomatic
corps are at loss to understand why
the illness of the minister of ferign af
fairs should block the selection OF
plenipotentiaries.

FEARS ANOTHER BATTLE
IT. Petersburg Without Definite News
of Happenings Last Night.

st. Petersbur June Is, $3.50 a. M
IT. Peters, burg is without definite
leWs Of the happenings cn Friday and
asst night at Lodz, and there is keen
st apprehension that Saturday may
nave been marked by renewal Of the
battle Of Friday the dead of which
are apparently to be numbered by
hundreds.
Nothing approaching the disorders
which passed far beyond the scale OF
recent demonstrations and approxi-
mated the dignity of actual insurrec-
tion, recalling the days of the com
munen In Paris has been recorded In
Russia since the street fighting at
Warsaw during the Polish revolutions
Of 1880 and 1868 The events Of Jann-
ary p in st. Petersburg, Red Sun,
day, We're merely the dispersal OF I'M
armed crowds by soldiers, but at Lodz
the troops were despeB.tely oppos ed
by an army of sixty thousand working
men, many armed with revolvers, de-
Tending substantial barficades with
bullets and showers of paving stones
and other missiles and even bombs.
The indus trial quarters were appar
emily largely In the hands of the mani
festants and the task OF the troops
| was akin to that of the Russian sol
| diers Of the war In Turkestan when
towns had to be stormed, street by
street, almost house to house.
The demol tion Of the barricades at
Lodz required regular sapper work
under the fire Of reyolvers and show
ers of missiles from windows of houses
and by which the troops suffered
heavily. The military governor had at
his difposal four regiments Of in
fantry and two Of cavalry. The last
| barricades were taken at o'clock
Saturday morning. A dispatch re-
| ceiyed by way of Warsaw estimates
the number Of Sian indefinitely at
several hundred workmen, and six.
! ty soldiers, but no definite statement
4 has yet been received, another dis
/ patch direct from Lodz giving forty
dead being admittedly incomplete.
An outbreak similar Gn nature tc
that at Lodz is threatened at Warsaw
\ where tthe industrial population Il
much larger, discomfort and bitterness
(, equally widespread and the feeling in
famed by the events at LODI. A dis
patch later last night from WARSAW
reported the initial bloodshed. II il
said the workmen were gathering Ii
large crowds and assuming menac
| ng attitude, The revoutionists hay,
accumulated considerable stock o
bombs at Warsaw and expected to EN-
ploy them at every opportunity aga MS

wounded is not known here and esti-

Friday, while a dispatch direct from
Lodz says twenty were killed outright,
sorty led from their wounds, and l65
wounded persons were taken TO hes
Ditals. That the situation Is extremely
serious and feeling still intense is
shown by the dispatch of a division
of infantry and another of cavalry to
