fore grand jury by President Shea Of

Young and Shea said that they were
offered $4,000 two years ago to bring
about a strike OF the teamsters employ

possible moment if Count Cassini, the
Russian ambassador, carries out his IN
tention OF seeing the president today.
Indirectly, Count Cassini already is
informed Of the willingness Of the presi-
dent to take up the question of peace
terms with Japan provided Russia is
prepared to discuss the subject in good
faith, but unless he receives instrue-
tions from his government between now
and the time he calls on the president
the ambassador will personally express
the firm conviction that his government
has no intention of negotiating with
Japan at this time.
The situation was thoroughly dis
cussed in an informal way by Count
Cassini with Baron Speck Won Stern
berg, the German ambassador, last
night, after conference of the baron
with the president. The Washington
government is waiting, believing that
Russia must be given time fully to
realize the crushing character Of her
defeat before she will be willing to CON
slider the advisability of abandoning
her determination to continue the war;

INFLUENCES FOR PEACE.
Are Being Exerted Between Paris and
St Petersburg.

Paris, June 2Strong influences are
being exerted between Paris and st.
Petersburg towards securing the realiza-
tion Of peace. Exchanges which have all
ready occurred give encouragement of
d pacific solution. The chief reliance Is
the securing oil the united influence Of
Great Britain, France and the United
States in bringing about some basis OF
accord between the belligerents. Here
tofore this influence has been merely
moral owing to Russia's refusal to per-
init it to take more concrete shape, but
the indications are that Russia may
allow it to assume a more material
character, to the extent OF having ma
tions friendly both to Japan and Rus
sia and to the cause Of peace cooperate
towards terminating the conflict.

AWAITING THE OUTCOME.
LInevitch and oyama Stand Ready TO
Fight Great Battle.

Portsmouth, n. H., Aug. 15.-It
seems TO be taken for granted among
the attaches of both the japanese and
Russian missions that there will be no
general battle in Manchuria while the
peace negotiations are on.
Oyama is known to be prepared to
strike the moment the negotiations
fail, and there may be more or less
skirmishing and outpost engagements
while the troops are getting in posi-
ton, but it is admitted on each side
that If either Oyama or Linevltch
should deliberately bring on general
engagement which might cost so 900
or 100000 lives, his country would be
accused Of bad faith in the negotia-
tons here and would inevitably lose
prestige in the eyes of the world.
In the larger sense, therefore, il can
be said that an armistice already ex-
lists in Manchuria. Should the nego-
tiations be vainly prolonged and it
become evident that there we're to be
fruitless. the advance Of Oyama or
Linevitch might be the signal for the
final rupture. The unexpected attack
on Port Arthur might be repeated be-
