MUCH DEPENDS NOW ON
 PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
Only Hope for an Armisce Rests With the President Japan Will Not Except Under Great Pressure Give Up the Advantages of Her Present Strategic Position

St Petersburg, June 20.-The only hope for an armistice pending the meeting of the peace plenipotentiaries seems to rest with President Roosevelt, and even that is considered to be slen- der. So far as known the president has not taken positive step in this direction. The impression here con- tinues strong that Japan only with great reluctance could be induced to forego the advantages of her strategic position, and agree to suspension of hostilities for at least six weeks, dur ing which thousands of endorsements would reach General Linevitch and VladivOstok would be strengthened with munitions and supplies to with stand a siege Indeed 1t is suggested that Japan deliberately planned to postpone the meeting long enough to give Oyama a chance to administer to the Russians fresh defeat on land in order to rob the war party in Russia of their last card and facilitate ac- quiescence to her terms. Considering the situation, therefore, President Roosevelt's triumph will be all the greater if he could now prevent an other bloody battle pending the show of hands at Washington. At the Brit ish embassy the Associated Press was informed that Great Britain had not offered Japan any advice on the sub. ject.
 Brigadier-G General Barry and his col leagues in view of the prospects of a general engagement, are hastening their round of official visits in order 10 get to the front in time to witness something of the fighting. Tomorrow the American officers will be received in audience by the emperor at Peter hof.

CONNERS TO BE TRIED.
Man Accused Of Tampering With Beef
Trust Witnesses.

Chicago, April 8.-Attorneys for
General superintendent Thomas J.
Corners Of Armour & Co.. who was
indicted by the federal grand jury for
alleged tampering with a witness,
called in the packing house investiga-
ton, appeared before Judge Lands
and asked that the Indictment be
quaShed.
Judge Lands overruled the de-
murrer to the first count in the indict-
ment against Corners.
This count contained the specific
statement that the witness, Shields,
had been informed by Corners.
AS a result of the ruling by Judge
Lands, Corners apparently must stand
trial on a. charge of tampering with a
beef trust witness. The court held
the validity of the second count open
until next Saturday when a final or
der will be made on the whole bill.
The second count alleges that Con-
ners attempted to influence besides
Shields divers other persons unknown.

PRESBYTERIAN CATHEDRAL
Justice Harlan Starts Movement for
One in Washington.

washington. April s.-Justfce John NJ.
Harlan of the United States supreme
court has started a movement in support
of the establishment in Washington of a
Presbyterian cathedral The idea has been
talked of for some time. but the first
definite steps have been taken by the
sending Of identical letters from Justice
Harlan to all the leading Presbyterian
preachers in the United States, inviting
their advice and cooperation In the pro-
ject.
"Twenty-seven years residence has
brought me to the conclusion that the
time has come when the Presbyterian
church as a whole ought to establish in
Washington a church which would rep
resent our denomination at the national
capital in a more impressive way than
could possibly be done by the ordinary
parish church
The justice asks suggestions as to the
appointment of a. special committee of
the general assembly charged with the
duty of devising a plan for establish
ing at Washington some such church as
suggested, and says if such a committee
were authorized he is quite sure a good
ly sum could be made available locally
as necleus for the fund for the enter
prise.

DAVIS GOT SIS.
omeial Canvass Of Vote Makes Little
Change.

W. J. Bryan received one vote for
mayor of Topeka in the last election
Col J. ". F. Hughes also got one,
and W S. Bergundthal received two.
1t was determined by the city cOun-
Gil sitting Friday night as a canvass
ing board, that Mayor Davis received
total of 1888 votes, and Robert
Blair received 4.199, a plurality of
69s for Davis. The only mistake in
the returns as unOffcially reported
was in the third precinct of the Sec
ond ward, where the total male vote
was found to be 126 for Davis instead
of 123. The unofficial tally sheet re-
turned to the commissioner of cleo
lions was very poorly kept. and it was
impossible to determine exactly what
the clerk who made it out had tried
to say. Davis majority was therefore
increased from 696, as shown by the
official returns, to $50.
proposition was $3.50 for and 2,154
against, a majority Of 1876 for the
bonds.
G. W. Horn, in the Fourth ward.
received the largest plurality of any
of the candidates for the council. He
had 1850 votes, to BradfOrd's 500, a
plurality of ISL.
f Z. Nipps. in the Third ward. had
70S plurality over DIETRICH. Nipps'
vote was 997 and Deitrich's 289. It
was a strong testimonial to the run
ming ability of Mr.. Nipps that he
should pile up such a huge majority
F. B. Sims plurality in the First
ward was 459. Griley had $50 in
the Second, Sinner 553 in the Fifth,
and Swendson sos in the Sixth.
