GATED TO PRESIDENT AND
Z ANNOUNCED By HIM.

Washington, June 17.-Following
the selection of Washington as the
seat of the peace conference which it
ts hoped may eventually result in a
permanent peace In the Far East there
was lth in the negotiations. It is
indicated that the selection and the
announcement of the plenipotentiaries
of Russia and Japan to represent them
in the conference will be the next step
toward the conclusion of the prelim-
inary arrangements of the conference.
It was expected that the announce
ment of the selection Of the plenipo-
tentiaries would. be made respectively
from st. Petersburg and Toxic, but it
is believed now that the formal an
nouncement would be promulgated in
washington after the two governments
shall have communicated their re-
welt The president then viii COM
municats officially the names Of the
Russian plenipotentiaries to the Japa-
nese government and the Japanese
representatives to the st. Petersburg
government. It Is probable that the
formal public announcement of the Sc
lections will be made here practically
coin Incidentally with the presidents
communications to Russia and Japan.
It is learned authoritatively that M.
NeHdoff, the Russian ambassador to
Paris, will be one of the plenipotsn-
tiaries of the St. Petersburg govern
ment and that the Marquis Ito prob
ably will be the principal representa-
tive of Japan. Ito's selection Is GER
tain, provided that his health will per-
NIT him to participate In the treaty
negotiations. M. Nelidoff Is one Of the
most eminent diplomatists in the serv-
Ice Of Russia and has the confidence
Of Emperor Nicholas to = remarkable
degree. He has an extensive knowl-
edge OF both European and Oriental
politics and q long experience as a
Russian leader and diplomatist.
So far as can be ascertained here
the number Of the plenipotentiariss to
be nominated by each government has
not been determined, but it is expected
now that the number will not exceed
three each.

Oyster Boats Frozen Up,

There are frozen UP In the Wicomico
river Maryland, fleet of about seventy
five oyster-laden craft. some of which wish
to come to this city and others to go to
Baltimore. The masters of the vessels,
through Capt. William c. Geoghegan, mas
ter of the steamer Anne Arundel, have sent
an appeal to the Maryland authorities ask
ing that the iceboat Annapolis be sent to
their relief. The appeal states that the
vessels are lying in exposed positions, and
when the ice breaks up it is apt to damage
and sink them. 1t is probable the appeal
will be needed and the ice breaker will be
sent to their aid.

The Agra stone is one of the famous dia-
monds of the world. The price it has
brought is considerably less than. the sum
which was expected. 1t sold by order
of the successors of Mr.. Streeter the we'll
known London jeweler.
The diamond derives it's name from the
fact that it was taken to the battle of
Agra in 1926 by the Emperor Baber, who
was the founder of the Mogul empire in
India. The modern history of the diamond
was told to Mr.. Streeter in the summer of
1896 by the Marquis of Donegal as fol-
lows:
The marquis remarked that he was in
Agra in 1857 when the diamond was taken
from the King of Delhi, being at the time
engaged a secretary and belonging to
the same regiment as the young officer who
obtained possession of the diamond. II was
resolved among the officers to smuggle it
home to England rather than give it up
and share in the loot money The cues
ton arose, How were they to get it home?
No one seemed able to hit upon a method
that would be likely to meet with success
until the last evening previous to the de-
parture of the regiment. In the course of
dinner the youngest subaltern suddenly
jumped up and said, Il have it; we will
conceal the diamond in a horse ball and
make the horse swallow it, This met
with general appreciation, a ball was Sc
cured the inside scooped out, the diamond
inserted, the end stopped up, and the horse
made to swallow it.
When the regiment reached the port of
emba rkation the horse was taken ILL., and
had to be shot. The diamond was taken
from his stomach and carried to England
1t was subsequently sold to the Duke of
Brunswick, and since that it has been re-
cut from a 46-carat stone to BIZ carats
In order to get rid of the black spots In it,
1t Is now perfect and brilliant diamond
of a lovely rose pink color.
