MURAvIEFF RESIGNS
As Peace PIenipotentiary-M. Witte
Will Probably Succeed Him.

st. Petersburg, July 1S.-2.12 A. M
NJ. Muravieff has resigned his position
as chief peace plenipotentiary.
1t may be regarded as practically
certain that he will be replaced by NJ.
Witte. president of the committee of
minister, who all along has been con-
sidered the Russian statesman pre-em-
inently qualified to undertake the diff
ficult task of negotiating peace with
Japan.
However, though the Emperor. VINO
on two previous occasions hatly ue-
clined to accept NJ. White. has now IN
Dictated his readiness to make the APP
pointment. the commission VIII not De
actually signed until Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff. who. throughout. has been
M. Whites warm supporter, mas had
an audience of the Emperor. today.
To that extent only the matter may
no regarded as unsettled, nothing be-
ing certain in Russia, as prominent
dinlomat remarked, last night, until
the Emperor's signature has been at
fiXe.l.
NJ. Whites selection will undoubtedly
be hailed as a practical assurance OF
peace. While it would be mistake to
denomnate him as peace-at-any-
price man, NJ. White earnestly believes
that the struggle should be ended and
should be succeeded by an understand
ing between Russia and Japan which
would insure peace in the Far East for
half a century. Indeed. he is PERSONAL
ly believed to be in favor of Russo
Japanese alliance.
The conduct of the negotiations by
NJ. Witte is felt by the peace party
here would inspire instant confidence
in Japan.
The only handicap under which M.
White Iabors is lis lack of familiarity
with the English language as the only
foreign langua ges he speaks are Ger
man and French.
NJ. Muravieff's retirement, ostensibly
owing to reasons of i'll health, is in
reality due to the fact that the En-
peror became convinced that the he
gOtiations might be jeopardized if he
went to Washington. NJ. MuraviefI
himself. upon consideration frankly
recognized the lack of diplomatic
training and his want of acquaintance
with the questions involved and with
equal frankneSS expressed satisfaction
that he mad been relieved.
Neither the Washington nor Toxic
governments has yet been officially adj
vised of NJ Muravieff's withdrawal, the
foreign Office probably preferring to
announce the name of his successor at
the same time.
The change in the Grief of the pleni-
potentiaries does not involve any post
ponement of the date of the sailing OF
the peace mission for Washington.

OHIO BAR ASSOCIATION
Listsns To Discussion of Corporation
Problem by Judge Gossup.

Put-In-Bay, Ohio, July 12.-About
500 representatives of the Ohio Bar
Association are assembled here for the
annual session of the Ohio State Bar
Association. The features of the morn-
ing session was the address of Judge
Peter S. Grossup of Chicago. He said
in part:
Judge Peter S. Grosscup of Chicago.
delivered the annual address, his sub
ject being 1.-The Corporation Problem,
the Lawyers Part in Its Solution" He
said in part:
THE great corporate problem before
the American people is not how to
wipe out the new domain of property
represented by the corporations: nor
how to hinder or hamper it; nor how to
take it over into national proprietor
ship: nor, simply. how to make those
who have already come into proprietor
ship deal fairly and tenignantly with
the people, as the great proprietOrs in
the monarchics in Europe might be re-
quired to deal fairly with their people
The great problem that confrontS
the craftsmanship of this day like that
which confronted the craftsmanship of
which had to deal with the public land
ed domain. is how to popularize the
ownership of this new domain; how to
widen the popular stake lin this new
possession; how to sweep forward into
the age that is to come, losing nothing
overheard from the age that is passing.
but with everything aboard so really
Ecpublicanized that in the public mind
there will be no feeling that under our
laws. and under the practical Oppor
tuniticS for an individual career that
our laws are supposed to furnish, the
field is not open to all alike. What Gre
ates our problem is that under present
corporate policies. the instinct of indie
pendent manhood, the instinct that
chardcterizes us as a people finds no
field for exercise. And what confronts
us is, to find way that will. with rea-
sonable security. open to this instinct
the whole domain of industrial propri-
etorship.
9! do not expect that way to be found
i'll day or in a single measure. What
| aim at and what 1 ask you to join in
helping along. is to set in motion the
public opinion that lies behind party
leadership. When this is done, ways
will be found. abundant ways. to in
fuse into this new property domain of
the republic, even though embodied in
corporate FORM the widespread person.
al interest and individuality that alone
gives to property it's fullest utility as
an energy for good and alone saves to
private property its place as one of the
Republican institutions of the country.

Two Deaths and Six Prostra-
lions in Boston, Wednesday.

Boston, July 12.-The torrid wave

from the ocean, swept in again. today,
bringing much suffering and causing
two deaths. The victims were John
Sullivan and Joseph Morjinski. both of

treated at the different hospitals in
the city, while one man, in Wakefield,
was so affected by the suns rays that
he mad to be taken to an insane asy-
lum.
For a few hours, this afternoon. the
east wind had sufficient force to keep
the hot wave back from the business
section of Boston, but at O'Clock 1t

of intensely heated air from out of the
southwest. that sent the thermometer
ND from % to 81 in less than an hour s
time. With the atmosphere well sat
urated with moisture, the balance OF
the afternoon proved most trying ana
hurry calls for medical aid became
frequent.
The customary thunder showers put
in an appearance in several parts Oh
New England, but up to late hour.
tonight. none of them had proved par
tIcularly destructive. A couple at New
port, early this morning, woke the
echoes of Narragansett Bay and light

very little damage. At Mortified, Mass,

The weather bureau, tonight, he'd
out no prospects for any cessation of
the heat for the next day or two, at
least. although showers may bring
some relief

the following letter:
1.-The Hon. Theodore Roosevelt. President
of the United States. Washington. ID. c.
Dear Sr:-On behalf of the New York
Cotton Exchange l want to say that its
members have been greatly shocked by
the recent disclosures of venality in the
department of agriculture upon whose re-
ports they have depended for accurate in
formation in the conducting of their COM
mon business.
Il beg to request that full investi-
cation be made of the methods that led
to the corruption with a view to prevent
ing the possibility of recurrence and that
the guilty ones be adequately punished
Official reports should be above the
suspicion of publications in the interest
of any persons for their individual bene-
tit. and as president of this exchange
wish to put its membership upon record
as utterly opposed to such culpable pro-
ceedings.
ION the line of common honesty I ask
you for your most emphatic condemnation
and action upon the practices which make
legitimate business impossible and put the
members of our body at the mercy of
trickSterS and knaveS.
with great respect 1 am

Prof. Dale, U. S. sso|ogist, Has Already
Begun This Important Research.

Brunswick, Me-. July 12.-Prof. Les
lie A. Lee, State geologist, announces
that an important work has just been
inausurated in this State. namely the
thorough investigation of Names
granite resources.
The State survey commission appre-
ciate the Importance of the granite in
dustry and its value to the State and
therefore consider it worthy of a spe-
cial report. This work has been planned
by the commissioners and George Otis
Smith. United States geologist. and
will be conducted on the cooperative
basis. the State and the United States

pensc.
Prof T. Nelson Dale, United States
iseolngist, will make this study of the
granite. visiting every productive
quarry in the State and carefully ex-

to the work especially well fitted to
write a report that will be exhaustive.
He has now in press a report on the
slate of the United States.
An authoritative report of Maine,
granite issued by the United States
Geological Survey must prove Of great
value, both in the information it will
offer to the granite operators and in
the prominence it will give to Maine

ton of architects and contractors to
the excellence of our Maine granite.

the vicinity of Rockland, having select
ed the large Knox county quarries as
best adapted for the commencement of
this investigation.
