the Days Developments
az Washington.

Washington. June 20.-Prectically no
now developments are observable in
the negotiations for peace between
Russia and Japan. President Roose-
welt. for a day Of two. has been deeply
%engrossed in other matters. and while he
has not for a moment lost sight Of the
arrangements for bringing together
The far eastern belligerents, he has re-
allied fully that the next move in the
great game OF diplomacy now being
played is with the ~contending nations
themselves. That move IS the selection
Of the ENJOYS to represent them al the
Washington conference.
Both Minister Takahira Of Japan AND
Ambassador Cassini, of Russia. called OF
he president Monday afternoon. Short.
ly before three o'clock Minister Taxa
hira drove 10 the White House and wa,

changes which have taken place were
manifested about he interviews OF Am.
bassador Cassini and Minister Taxa
hira. ID IS known that they were not
OF great Importance. Each Of III,
~diplomatsts presented 10 the president
official advices from his government
expressive of the satisfaction felt al
both St Petersburg and Toxic over the
selection Of Washington as the seat
of the peace conference. The president
already had been advised by Ambassa
dor Meyer. at St. Petersburg. and Min
lister Griscom. at Toxic. or the cordial
feeling felt toward Washington by the
Russian and Japanese governments
Personal assurances Of that feeling
conveyed to him by the representatives
Of both powers served simply 70 ac

from this governments officials
Whether the conference viii actually
sit in Washington or not. has no. been
determined: Of course that is a detail
which will be left 10 the ENJOYS them
selves by their respective governments
Il IS said that no decision VIII be
reached on that point until the confer
