FRANCE TO COOPERATE
With President Roosevelt in Bringing
Peace to Warning Countries.

ST. Petersburg. June 9--(MidnighD-
M. Boutiron, first secretary of the
French embassy, had lcng conference
with Foreign Minister L,msdorff, TINS
afternoon, and NJ. Bompard, the
French ambassador, is. furrying back
from Paris. France, instead of display
ing jealousy at the initiatiVe taken by
President Roosevelt with q view 10
bringing Russia and Japan together
for peace. has apparently warmly well
coined it and will give it cooperation
No further definite development is
now expected until President Roosevelt
returns to Washington from his trip
TO Virginia.
1t states in the dispatch that the
Presidents sole aim is to bring the
warning powers together in direct ne
gotiatlons have been confirmed. There
has been no undertaking on his part
to apprise Russia OF the Japanese
terms nor, it is believed, to find Il pre-
liminary basis for negotiations. The
main obstacle to the Presidents efforts
has been removed with the Emperors
acquiesence in his iniaiivc, and ne
gotiations are probably now proceeding
at Toxic.
notwithstanding the progress al
ready made, great deal OF Skeptlcisin
is manifested in certain quarters as to
the result of President Itoosevelts de-
marches. The public seems reluctant
TO believe that the Emperor could have
assented to anything like IL movement
toward peace. Some cynics even try
to create the impression that Russia
is only seeking to ascertain Japan's
terms and then, by Haunting the hard
conditions imposed in the faces of the
representatives of the people when
they meet. arOusing the whole nation
to resist them. Such talk, however, is
mere irresponsible chatter.
The Emperor, it must be pointed out,
has not sued for peace. He has only as
scented to a proposition submitted by
the head of a friendly power, and the
matter officially goes no further than
that Russia, now as ever is ready to
see if a common basis can be reached.
The commencement of formal peace
negotiations especially if coupled with
the prompt announcement of the con-
yoking of national assembly may
avert the threatened crisis which the
Liberals are forcing upon the govern
lnent or it may only serve to precipi-
tate it.
Moscow is now a perfect hot bed of
protest against the existing regime and
the address which the deputation from
the All Russian ZemstvO congress held
there has brought to st. Petersburg to
present to the Emperor, has fairly
stunned the members Of the govern
ment. Nothing approaching such Ian
guage used in the document from men

it, has ever before been heard in Rus

JUDGES BELIEVE 1T IS
RAPHAEL'S MLAST SUPPER"
Picture In New York Deposit Vault
Thought to Be the Great Paint
er's Masterpiece

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-In the minds
of the few persons who have been per-
mitted to see a picture that has been
for the last six years in the vaults of
a local deposit and trust company, there
is the belief that 1t is the original paint
ing by Raphael of 1.-THE Last Supper"
The picture is the property Of Mrs.
James O'Hara Of New Orleans, and an
attempt will soon be made to have II
taken to Europe and its authenticity
proved,
The canvas has had an unusual his
tory. If it is the original by Raphael
it was painted in 1917 and was lost ten
years later in the sacking of Rome by
the Spanish. About 150 years ago it is
said to have come into the possession
of a Spanish sailor who lived near
New Orleans. 1t was handed down in
his family until one Of his descendants
on dying gave it to an old negro wo-
man who cut the canvas from the
frame and tackled it on piece Of board.
ABOUT 90 years d6o JdAIeS " r1dTdI d
house painter of New Orleans, made
some repairs about the old woman's
cabin and took the picture in payment.
He had the canvas cleaned and var
nished, but as the work was done by an
amateur the coloring was almost oblit-
Grated. The canvas has since been
oiled and by means of a camera and a
powerful lense a photograph made of
the picture shows clearly the letters

CONSUL RODGERS
ON THE BOYCOTT
TALKS OF CONDITIONS IN
SHANGHAI
AMERICAN GOODS sTAGNANT
Merchandise Now in Warehouses Is
Valued at Nearly $s,ooo,ooo
Gold-Chinese Merchants
Also Suffering
AMERICAN GOODS sTAGNANT
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-The state
department today received a COM
munication from Consul General Rodg
ers at Shanghai which sets forth the
condition of affairs there commercially
growing out of the Chinese boycott.
One phase of the movement which is
disturbing to all business minds, he
says, is the effect 1t is likely to produce
upon the finances of a great center OF
commerce, There are at the present
time in Shanghai warehouses approx
mately 10000 bales of American piece
goods, valued at nearly $8,000000 gold
The question therefore of marketing
the commodity and Of collecting the
money under the present conditions, he
adds, presents a very serious condition
and is apt to cause great difficulty not
only to the Chinese merchants but also
to the importers.
What is true of piece goods, he says,
is also true of all other lines of staple
products. The market has been over
stocked and nothing Is moving, and
while the Chinese merchants are now
suffering, the foreign firms will as
suredly feel the effect on the settling
dates. The total value of foreign goods
likely to be affected by this boycott
movement in Shanghai alone has been
estimated conservatively at $25,0O0O 900
gold.
Consul Sammons at Newchwang,
China, also communicated to the state
department that he has been banqueted
by the Chinese officials at that place
upon which occasion they declared that
the boycott on American goods had
| been suppressed.
The state department has been in
formed that the Japanese government
has removed the restrictions to river
shipments to the interior of Manchuria.
This is interpreted to be favorable to
marketing of American goods in Man
churia.

MOVE FOR IMPROVING
THE STATE WATERWAYS
IMPORTANT MEETING is HELD IN
SAN FRANCISCO
Representatives Of Federal, State and
Private interests Present-Con-
ference Directs Attention Toward
Drainage of the Sacramento Valley
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. IA meet
ing of the representatives. of the feder-
al, state and private interests, which
may mean the beginning of the ex-
penditure of millions for the improve
ment of state waterways and the abate-
ment of many of existing flood evils,
was held this morning at the rooms of
the chamber Of commerce. 1t was a
public conference between the federal
commission of engineers authorized by
the last congress to investigate drain
age and reclamation projects in Cali
fornia, the state board recently elected
from various districts to assist in the
furtherance of the investigation, and
the River Improvement and Drainage
association of California.
The end toward which the confer
ence directed itself was the co-ordin-
alton of effort on the part of the fed
eral government, the state and the pri-
vate land owners to improve the arte-
rial drainage of the Sacramento val
ley and the navigability of the Sacra-
mento river. A commission of United
States engineers, consisting Of COL
VIM. H. Huer, Col. Thos. H. Han
bury and Capt. VIM. H. Harris, has
been making a complete inquiry into
the conditions existing along the Sac
ramento river and tributary streams,
with a view toward the installation of
government works on a large scale.
They have already held three meetings,
at which written communications were
received and the present session was
devoted to urging upon them the ne
cessity of immediate and radical action
to remove the menace which the Sac
ramento river now constitutes.
William Ham Hall, formerly state
engineer and member of the River
Improvement and Drainage association,
read a paper, in which he declared that
it was incumbent on the government
to assist very materially in the vast
work which should be begun.
