N. N|IIE CHIEF ENVOY
CZAR NICHOLAS TODAY SIGNED
HIS APPOINTMENT.
HE is GIVEN PLENARY POWER

Will Conduct the Peace Proceedings
for Russia as Chief PIenipotentiary.
Official Notification Sent This Morn.
ing,
st. Petersburg, July 13.-Emperor
Nicholas today signed the appointment
of NJ. Witte to be chief plenipotentary,
representing the Russian government
in the peace negotiations which will
be conducted in the United States.
The appointment clothes NJ. Witte
with plenary powers.

St Petersburg, July 13.-M. Mura
vieff has resigned his position as chief
peace plenipotentiary 1t may be re-
garded as practically certain that he
will be replaced by NJ. Witte, presi.
dent of the committee of ministers,
who all along has been considered the
Russian statesman pre-eminently
qualified to undertake the difficult
task of negotiating peace with Japan
Though the emperor on two pre-
vious occasions has fatty declined to
accept M. Witte, he has now lndicated|
his readiness to make the appoint.
ment. The commission how.
ever, will not be actually signed until
Foreign Minister Lamsdprf. who
throughout has been NJ. Witte's warm
supporter. has had an audience with
the emperor today. To that extent
only the matter may be regarded as
unsettled, nothing being certain inI
Russia, as prominent diplomat re
marked, until the emperors signature
has been affixed. NJ. Whites selection
undoubtedly will be hailed as a prac
ucal assurance of peace. While il,
would be a mistake to denominate
him as a peace at any price" man.
M. Witte earnestly believes that the
struggle should be ended and should
be succeeded by an understanding be
tween Russia and Japan which would
ensure peace in the far east for half
a century. Indeed, he Is personally
believed to be in favor of q Russo
Japanese alliance.
The conduct Of negotiations by M.
Witte, 1t is felt by the peace party
here, would inspire instant confidence
in Japan. The only handicap under
which M. Witte labors is his lack OF
familiarity with the English Ian.
guage. as the only foreign languages
he speaks are German and French.
M, Muravieff's retirement, ostensi
bly, owing to reasons OF III health, ia
in reality due to the fact that the
emperor became convinced that the
negotiations might be jeopardized i'll
he went TO Washington, M. Muravief
himself, upon consideration, frankly
recognized his lack OF diplomatic
training and his want Of acquaintance
with the questions involved and with
equal frankness expressed satisfac.
ton that he had been relieved. The
change in the chief OF the plenlpoten.

PURE FOOD BILL SAID TO
Be PRACTICALLY ABANDONED

Washington, Feb. iS-Au expectatioa
that the senate will pass the pure food
bill at this session has been practically
abandoned. In a hnal effort 70 secure
action a delegation called on President
Roosevelt last week and suggested that
he send a special message 20 congress
on this subject.
The president is reported 10 have as
sured the members OF the delegation that
he sympathized with the movement TO se-
cure pJfTe food legislation. but there the
matter ended. From information Sc
cured I'm administration circles IL does not
appear probable that any effort will bs
made by the administration toward Sc
curing this legislation at this time.
1T is my opinion" said Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson In discussing the
matter that there will be no legislation
on the subject OF pure food by the present
congress. There is no time now to take
up this important matter.
THAT there IL need Of pure food legisla-
ton no one conversant with the subject
can deny I hope and expect 20 see such
law enacted by the Fifty-ninth con-
gress"
