Satisfaction I'm London.
LONDON, June 9.-1:35 p. m-Much sat
isfaction is expressed in official diplomatic
circles here at the apparent success of
President Roosevelt in bringing Russia and
Japan together for the purpose of ending
the war. Since his arrival here whitelaw
Reid, the American ambassador has been
in close and frequent communication with
the Foreign office. The ambassador is not
willing at the present juncture to disclose
the result of his visits, but apparently he
is we'll pleased with the progress of the
negotiations.
After a busy week, socially and ofTicially
the ambassador and Mrs. Reid leave Lon
20 ,,,ttt,
Earl Egerton of Tatton and his wife. the
duchess of Buckingham and Chandose, at
Tatton park, Knutsford. Cheshire. The
other embassies are without any informa-
tion. Russian official circles now think
that peace is probable or at least that
cessation of hostilities is pending in an
endeavor to bring about meeting of rep
resentatives of two powers. 1t is pointed
out in these circles that from the first
Russia declared its preference of negotia-
ting with Japan direct, and President
Roosevelt apparently is acting on that line
in arranging the preliminaries for direct
negotiations between Japan and Russia.

the French ambassador to Russia, returns
TO st. Petersburg tomorrow after lengthy
conference with President Loubet at the
Foreign office. in which 1t is understood

tion to cooperate strongly in the efforts of
the United States and 1t is intimated that
he may carry an autograph letter from NJ.
