LOOKING TO ARMISTICE
NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN RUSSIA
AND JAPAN PROCEEDING
AT WASHINGTON.
WOULD HAMPER pLfHlPoTEETIARlFs
SERIOUS CLASH OF ARMIES BE-
FORE coNvENING OF THE
PEACE CONFERENCE.

Washington, June 22.-It is inti-
mated In Official circles here that me-
gotiations are proceeding looking to
an armistice between Japan and Rus
la.
The stumbling block In the way of
any armistice appears to be that
neither belligerent Is willing to take
the initiative. The present negotia-
tions, it is understood, consist of an
effort to sound one or both govern
ments as to their willingness to agree
to an armistice.
There will be no official announce
ment here regarding the probabilities
of an armistice before the president re-
turns nor is it certain that there will
be anything to make public. The feel
ing in official circles here is strongly
In favor of a cessation of hostilities,
as it is believed that clash before
the convening of the peace conference
would hamper the work of the pleni-
potentiaries and might prove serious
menace to their efforts for peace.

EQUITABLE LIFE AFFAIRS.
designations of Alexander and Hyde
to Have Great Effect.


New York, June 22.-Acceptance by
Chairman Morton of the designations
of James w. Alexander and James III.
Hyde as president and first vice presi-
dent, respectively, of the Equitable
Life Assurance society, is expected, ac-
cording to the World, to have far
reaching effect on the Office staff of
the executive. 1t is also expected, the
World adds, that Mr.. Hyde will shortly
retire from several Offices in controlled
financial positions and it Is likely will
resign from the directorate of other
corporations to which he was elected
on account of his ownership of q ma
jority of stock in the Equitable. The
designations of Messrs. Alexander and
Hyde were for their posts as officers
of the society and not as directors.
Both are expected to resign as direc-
tors in few days.
Although Mr.. Morton refused to COM
nit himself ON the subject 1t is known
that no effort will be made to elect a
president or first vice president until
the board of directors have reorgan-
ized under the naturalization plan un-
der the three trustees, Grover Cleve-
land. George Westinghouse and JUS
tfce Morris w. O'Rrien.

ciag 6 .see>.s 4-eay at PeJernoI TO the
delegation ielresenting the all-Russian
congress of zemstvoists and mayors
which assembled at Moscow is re-
lected in the joyful acclaim with
which it has been received by the
Russian press. The question of peace
and the reports that announce that a
battle has begun in Manchuria have
become of secondary importance in
the public mind before the great fact
that the emperor has again pledged
himself to popular representation.
The Russ declares that the history
OF representative government In Rus
sia dates from Whit Monday. "A hun
dred commissions celebrating schemes
for reform, the paper continues,
could not inspire the people with as
much hope in the future of Russia as
the emreror's words to the delegation
whose members were characterized by
the rcactionaries as traitors, conspira-
tons and reyolutionists. The fight is
not yet won. The bureaucracy will
not Capituiate without further strug-
gle, but the most important step for
political regeneration has been taken"
The Noyoe Vremya thinks that this
renewed assurance direct from the
throne imposes the obligation on all
classes of society which have the well
fare of Russia at heart to unite for
the suppression of the agitation which
is shaking the foundations of the
country"

NEW AND IMPORTANT STEP.
st. Petersburg Hears Rumors of an
Armistice.

st. Petersburg, June 22.-President
Roosevelt evidently has taken a new
and important step in the negotiations
between the belligerents. While there
are collateral reasons for believing
that 1t 9lates to an armistice which
will prevent the impending battle in
Mcnchuria this cannot be positively
affirmed. All that can be stated def
nj W is that Ambassador Meyer went
suddenly to the foreign Office and had
an interview with Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff, at which it is believed the
ambassador communicated an impor-
tant message from President Roose-
welt, but at neither the foreign office
nor the American embassy is the
slightest light thrown on what tran
spired
From the extreme secrecy observed
the matter beyond doubt is one of the
ment is vouchsafed at the foreign of
fee that the negotiations are proceed
ing without a hitch the inference fol-
lows that it relates to new phase in
which the president has again taken
the initiative This is the more GER
tain since the communications between
the belligerents relating strictly to the
questions of the selection of place,
time and number of the plenipotenti-
aries were conducted naturally through
Ambassador CSssini and Minister Ia
kahira. through the intermediary OF
the Washington government, whereas
according to diplomatic procedure only
communications from the Washington
government reach Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff through Ambassador Meyer.
