Russian 'Plenipotentiaries.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 22.-The
Russ says it is authorized to say that
Count Cassini, the .retiIfng Russian Emf
bassador at Washington, will not par
.ticipate in the peace negotiations. but
will leave the-United States Immediate
ly on the arrival of Baron Rosen, his
successor.
The chancellories of ST. Petersburg
and Toxic ares'occupied with the selec-
tion of the plenipotentiaries. It can
now be regarded as settled that they
will number three on each side An I'M
portant consideration requiring adjust
ment is the desire of each country to
appoint negotiators of equal rank, and
this increases the probability that
Witte, President of the Committee of
Ministers. will be one of the Russian
plenipotentiaries If Japan names the
Marquis Ito, President of the Japanese
Privy Council.
1t is possible that Nelidoff, the Rus
sian ambassador at Paris, may not go
to Washington AS dean of the Russian
of the Foreign Office but he is of ad-
vanced age and his health is not robust.
Besides, Nelidoff is an exceedingly bad
sailor and 1t is still an open question
whether he may not ask to be relieved
of his mission. In such an event it Is
considered certain that Baron Rosen
would be appointed.
WAsHINTON, June 22.-Count Cas-
sini, the Russian ambassador. announced
at the time of the appointment of Baron
Rosen as his successor that he would
sail for Europe soon after the arrival
of Baron Rosen. about July 5. Count

since then. He has not yet fixed finally

NEW YORK. June 22-President
Newman of the New York Central and
Lake Shore RAILROADS said to-day that
the TWEEN ~ hour scffedule OF the Twen-
tieth Century Limited train. on the
New York Central and Lake Shore will
be restored at once in place of the
eighteen-h hour schedule, on which the
train had been running for only a few
DAYS. President Newmann said:' {
Since the sad accident which has oc-
Cured on the Lake Shore / have had
a consultation with the operating off,
cials. who have explained that the ac-
cident was caused by misplaced
switch and was not due to the speed
of the train, and they assure me that
the present schedule can be safely and
easily maintained. While agree with
the operating officials that there is no
physical reason why the schedule
should not be continued, nevertheless
in my judgment the time of the Twen-
tieth Century Limited should be re-
stored TO the twenty hours. and 1t will
be done at once. Until the new sched-
ule can be arranged the Twentieth
Century Limited train will leave New
York at $3.50 p. m. and Chicago at 2:3O
p. m, as at present, but will run on a
twenty hour schedule, arriving at
either terminal two hours later than at
present"

went to Manchuria In 1904 in behalf Of
the German military medical authorities,
has made a report to the general staff,
which Chief Surgeon Won Leuthold has
just communicated to the German Surgi-
cal Society. DR.. Schaefer reports that
the percentage of Russian losses was un-
usually high, ranging from 80 to rs per
cent of their fighting strength. A large
proportion of the wounds were in the
head, owing to the defensive fighting be-
hind breastworks. The proportion of the
dead to the wounded ranged from one to
four to one. to six Most OF the deaths
were due to the heavy artillery firing.
An unusual number of siege guns of the
largest. caliDer and ship guns evidently
were, employed by the Japanese, includ-
ing the captured Russian guns.
The great number of the Russian
wounded, especially during the retreats,
caused the surgeons to be heavily over
worked, they often operating two and
three days without rest or sleep.
