ALL VIENNA TALKS
 ABOUT ROOSEVELT
PEESS GIVES HIM UNSTINTED PRAISE FOR PEACE MOVEMENT AND SAYS ALL CREDIT BE- LONGS TO HIM.

Vienna, June 1.-President Roosevelts note to Great Britain about peace negoti- ations will have attracted to him and the United States almost the undivided at tention of the people of AustNa and Hun gary and has a most lasting impression on all classes
 The press of Vienna gives President Roosevelt unstintsd praise for his ini- tiative in bringing peace negotiations to their present status and is ready to give him full credit for putting an end to the fearful struggle of the last six teen months in case peace results. He is declared to have rendered an immeas- urable and lasting service to humanity and civilization.
 The semi-official Fremdenblatt says:
 '.President Rooevelt's efforts toward peace have been attended with honorable and great success. In his appeal to the contending nations the President has acted with so much tact and has been SD circumspect and discreet yet withal so enthusiastic that no matter what may be the final outcome he has the fullest claim on the deep thanks of all men who desire the termination of this long and terrible war Even If Washington be not selected as the place of confer ence. vet with the measure of praise and credit due President Roosevelt be un- diminished. To his ability alone is due tho nresent success of a peace move ment that under any circumstances sbould he most nightly estimated"

To Aid in Catching Crooks.

Denever, Colo. June H. Special. )--Only the thief with the amputated thumb can hope to escape detection in Denver here after. The local police department has decided to add the thumb print sys- tenn to It's method of criminal identihca- tion. Chief of Police Delaney returned from the recent national convention of police chiefs firmly lmbued with the idea that the thumb-print system is good thing, and he proposes to put 1t into practice at once. The Bertillon method of Identification Is now in use here, and the proposed preservation of thumb marks will mean only slight length ening of the Bertillon cards to make the system feasible.

Japan to Guard Interests.

Tolxio, June Il. s p. m.-The Japanese continue to maintain an attitude of reserve toward the question of peace. There were demonstrations in the streets of the capital late Saturday evening and today students organized celebration, but a rainstorm speedily cleared the streets
 1t seemed to be the popular fear that Japan will sacrifice the advantage of Ad- miral Togo's victory, well as Field Marshal Oyamas opportunities by con- senting to an armistice now. It is felt that Togo's victory opens the Russian coast to invasion and that Oyama is capable of speedily taking Harbin, cut ting the railway and isolating Vladi- vostok It is also feared that the Rus sians will take advantage of an armistice to improve their positions and strengthen their forces.
 There is a general demand that Japan carefully safeguard it's interests if an ar mistice is declared.
 Sunday brought no important develop ments in the situation. No information concerning Russia's formal answer to President Roosevelt's proposal has been received here and the government pre- served an attitude of silenc.

 WOMAN MUST HANG FOR
 KILLING HER HUSBAND

was executed in the most brutal manner. Hoffman was tried last February for the crime and was convicted and Is nc awaiting the death penalty. According to Hottman's confession he was admitted to the Meyers home at an early hour on the morning of May 10, 1904, by Mrs. Meyers, in accordance with a prear- ranged plan to kill Meyers.
 After Mrs. Meyers had administered g drug to her husband to compel him to sleep, Hoffman went to tho bedside of the sleeping man and dealt him a blow with a billiard cue. This served to arouse Meyers, who grappled with Hott- man. and as the latter was intoxicated, Meyers was getting the better of the fight when Mrs Meyers struck her hus- band with a bed slat and later cut his throat with razor repeatedly She then stabbed the dying man in the back half q dozen times with pair of scissors. The confession of Hottman was the strongest evidence of the state against Mrs. Meyers. Hottman testified volun- tarily against the womun. He was of- fered no immunity by the prosecution.

Peace Talk Is Premature.

Tokio. June 10, a. m.-(Delayed. )-The Jiji says.
 Japan has shown a willingness to ap- point plenipotentiaries to meet the Rus sians and negotiate peace; but it Is pre- mature to think this will lead to the ultimate conclusion of peace. Much as Japan would like to see peace perfected, nothing short of the full rights of vic- tors and the placing of the Orient on a proper basis will satisfy Japan. It is premature to discuss terms of peace
 "It probably will become necessary to arrange an armstice at the commence ment of negotiations and 1t will be es- sential to obtain some guarantee be- fore concluding an armistce in order to prevent the interests of Japan from suffering The great and unprecedented Japanese victory must not be forgotten Russia's great power is not easily broken down. It might require years before the ultimate result of. the war Is att tained. Japan does not fear the prolong- ation of the war but deplores the losses of lives involved"
 The Jiji thainks President Roosevelt and pays tribute to him for his action. It concludes by warning the people to be prepared for the non-success or the negotiations and for the possible neces- sity of continuing the struggle.
 The Nichi Nichi writes in the same strain warning the people not to count on peace while the war party in Rus sia continue to exert it's influence over the Emperor.
 The Nichi Nichi concludes by saying that .'the situation requires calmness and watchfulness."

Throns Is Entertained.

Bliss, o. T., June n.-Forty thousand people were entertained by Miller Bros. at the 1Ol ranch to-day, the visit of the Ma tional Editorial association 10 the ranch being made the occasion for a buffalo hunt a buffalo dinner and an Indian cele- bration.
 The editors, many of whom were ac- companied by ladies, arrived on the ranch at Il o'clock on the Santa Fe in a spe- cial train. In the editorial party were many Oklahoma editors who had accom- panied the members of the National asso- citation on their trip through the terri- tory. The general public had been in- vited to the entertainment. The Santa Fe railroad, which runs through the ranch, carried 10000 pc ople to 101, and as many more drove in to attend the show. An immense grand stand, ending the arena, was built for the visitors. The arena itself was half a mile long and a third of mile wide. To handle the crowd required two hundred passenger coaches.
 Indians Take Important Part.
 The Ponca and Otoe Indians, whose lands are being allotted, had planned a celebration to take place some time dur ing the spring, to which they expected to invite all the other Indians in the territory to help them celebrate the dis solution of their tribal territory This WhS diTdnBtu tO ldke pldce at the same time of the editors visit.

People Are Grateful to Roose-
 VeIt for His Action
GENUINE HOPE FOR PEACE
With No Far for Future, Japan Would Be Glad to See the Carnage and Bloodshed
 Cease.

Tokio, June 10-7 D. m.-Tokio has calm ly received the news of American inter- vention and prospective peace. The ab- sence of assurance that Russia will ac- eept President Roosevelt's proposal and the knowledge that the final eonsumma- ton of peace involves the adjustment of a series of questions of paramount impor- tance requiring the most careful diplom- acy extending over weeks of negotiations, coupled perhaps with the recollection of previous experience in the thorny path of the worlds politics, seem to create a disposition to await final results There is nevertheless, the keenest satisfaction over the preliminary step and a feeling of deep gratefulness over President Roosevelt's action.
 Hope for Enduring Peace.
 There is also genuine thanksgiving at the thought that the carnage and horror and waste of war will soon end and a genuine hope that the negotiations will bring a satisfactory and enduring peace.
 The national rejoicing and thanksgiving probably will be deferred until the treaty of peace is signed and all doubt ended.
 The question of an armistice which will lower the bayonets of the two enormous armies facing one another on the Man ehurian frontier has not been discussed. It is believed, however, that an armistice will be speedily concluded.
 President Roosevelt's instructions to American Minister Griscom were delayed in transmission and did not reach the legation until late yesterday afternoon.
 News Withheld Until Yesterday.
 An Associated Press message on Thurs day brought the earliest intimation of prospective negotiations, but pending the receipt of the formal message from Pres- ident Roosevelt and the transmission of Japans response the censor refused to allow the transmission of press tele- grams bearing on the subject. All in- formation was withheld from the public until 6 o'clock tonight When the state- ment was issued containing President Roosevelt's message and Komura's re- sponse newsboys were quickly on the streets of the capital with extra editions of the newspapers.
 The Japanese plenipotentiaries to ar- range terms of peace are already being discussed The names of Marquis Ito, Premier Katsura, Foreign Minister Ko- mura, Marquis Yamagata and others are being suggested for possible heads of the commission.
 Popular estimates of Japan's terms of peace vary widely and include both in- demnity and cession of territory. It is believed that the peace commissioners will meet some where in the Orient
