PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
 ARE COMING SLOW.
But President Roosevelt is in Hopes the Conference Will Not Interfere With His Outing at Oyster Bay More Moting and Troops Fire On Socialists at Warsaw

Washington, June 10.-While the 1 progress of the. preliminary negotia- ktions for peace between the far east ern belligerents is necessarily slow at EthiS stage of the proceedings, 1t is
 known that President Roosevelt hopes they practically may be concluded be- fore he shall go to Oyster Bay for the
 summer. His desire to facilitate the negotiations induced him to reconsider his original plan to go to Oyster bay this week. After his visit to Worces- ter and Williamstown, Mass, where he will go to attend the commencement exercises of Clark university and Will Hams college, he will return to Wash ington. arriving here next Friday morning. It is expected that, if noth- ing unforeseen shall have occurred in the meantime, some definite announce ment of the status of the negotiations may be made soon after his return. There is a possibility even that the se- lection of the plenipotentiaries of both Russia and Japan may be announced before the president leaves tomorrow night for Massachusetts.
 A final determination of the seat of the conference having been reached, the president, in common with the political world, Is awaiting the action of the belligerent nations as to their peace envoys. With that part of the program the president. naturally. has nothing to do When the selections have been made, the names of the en- voys of the respective governments will be communicated to the president. By him they in turn will be communi- cated to the governments in interest md formally announced to the world. ! It is the hope here that the arrange tents for the conference may proceed sith such facility as to avert gen { al engagement in Manchuria between t e forces of Generals Linevitch and c fama. The precipitation of great b, tile at the present stage of the peace nt yotiations would be regarded here as m error of Judgment which might i'm ,eril seriously the negotiations for cat 'e their collapse.
 F 'esident Roosevelt is giving no hee to irritating personal references to h m which have appeared in part of e Russian press. His conduct of the peace negotiations thus far has been nearly directly as possible with the q aperors of the belligerent powers and e arrangements concluded repre- sent teir personal views as well as his own. The reference to the president by aA Important St Petersburg news paperl Is a broker" is regarded here as mol unhappy, although it is Known in Wa. ..lington that ieAdces not, reflect the sentiments of the st Petersburg government. Such comments serve, however, to accentuate the desire of the president and of the powers gen erally to avert, if possible. another serious engagement on the Manchurian battlefield. lest the concilatory efforts heretofore made may be rendered fruitless through the utterances of the Russian press backed as they may be by the powerful war party in the en- pire.

REFUSED TO TRY IT.
Craphophne Case in Which Attorneys Fhslan, Slavin and Kelley Figure.

Senator Phelan to-day refused to try case before Justice D. J. Slavin. The case was to recover $50 damages. The plaintiff was Iswald Mogue and the de- fendant, who was represented by the senator, was Joseph Cohen. A grapho- phone was the cause of the contention. Senator Phelan held that the plead ings were not closed and the cause could not be tried according to the rules of practice, nevertheless he was willing that Attorney Kelley, counsel for the plaintiff, should go ahead with his side, and the defendants side could be heard later. This evoked volley of remarks and the senator left the justices office.

Red Gum in Alabama.

Bulletin No. 58 of the department or agriculture relates chiefly to the Red Gum, besides containing few things about the tupelo gum and the black gum. From Tuscaloosa southward a great deal of red gum grows on the hard wood bottomlands of this state intermixed with ash, cottonwood and oak. Formerly there was no market for red gum, but that is not the case now. tsven the black gum of the mineral dis trict of this state is beginning to gain commercial value.
 ned gum timber is now worth from 50 cents to s1.50 per 1000 feet on the stump. Gum logs delivered at the mill are now worth from five to seven dol lars per 1000 board feet. It is now used for all the purposes which poplar and cottonwood have filled heretofore. It goes into cheap furniture, desks, the better grade of boxes, and Is used for inside finishing. The poorer grades go into boxes, barrels and other package cases. Much of it is exported.
 The bulletin presents the results Of tests of red gum cut in Alabama. Some of the trees were 150 feet in length. A great deal of red gum is still stand ing in this state, the cutting and mill ing of it having just been begun by the owners of hardwood mills. Tho bulletin Is almost wholly devoted to red gum, and black gum Is scarcely considered. Uses will be found, how ever, for black gum, and no doubt 1t will in time rise In value to the pres ent value of red gum, It's more import ant neighbor among the gums Of the sOuth

IMPRISONED PENNIES.
How Slot Machines Affect the Coinage
 of Britain.
From the London Express.

From the London Express The enormous decrease in the coinage of pennies, half-pennies, and farthings, from R14S, 499 worth in 1902 to eT7,S95 worth in 1904, is an aftermath of the boom in pennies caused by the greatly extended use of penny-in-the-slo machines few years ago.
 The experts In coin production state that there was something like d penny fam ine' few years ago, and this led to large production of new coppers by the mint.
 "The circulation of the penny Is a cu- rious thing" said one of the London and Southwestern Bank managers. For in- stance. we think nothing of receiving at one city branch of our bank f100 worth of pennies in one week. and the great producer of pennies is Peckham. Many branch banks where business men run in and ask for a sovereign's worth of Pennies get their supply of coppers from Peekham.
 '"rhe secret of this is the penny-in-the- slot gas meter. The South Metropolitan Gas company's army of men who spend their time in emptying the pennies out of household meters bank the money at Peckham. and millions of pennies are poured into our branches in the Peckham district At present we find the demand for big packets of pennies brisk.
 One of the secretaries of the South Metropolitan Gas company gave an ac- count of the five weeks Imprisonment of millions of pennies.
 I've have 1S2.oo0 penny-in-the-slot me- ters. A large corps of inspectors spend their time in going round emptyng these They get around this enormous number of meters about once every five weeks. Tt Is quite usual thing for them to empty out 2,500,000 pennies in a few days. These millions of pennies have been locked up for five weeks in many cases. and if we let the emptying process stand still very long we should make a ma terial difference to the stream of coppers in circulation"
