Philadelphia, June 14.-In accord
ance with the request made by the conf
mittee on street railways of city coun-
CHS for his opinion on the legality OF
the bills providing for the repeal of Or
dinances granting street car companies
the right to construct tracks ON certain
streets, City Solicitor Kinsey today stnt
his opinion to the committee, to the
effect that councils have power and
authority to repeal the ordinances, De-
cause the street railway companies had
not yet actually taken possession Of
the streets.
The committee on street railways will
meet tomorrow when the opinion will
be formally placed before its members.
A strong effort will be made by the adj
vocates of the ~Iepealers to have the
bills favorably reported to councils.
In order to avoid disorderly scenes
such as those that occurred yesterday
the meeting tomorrow will be held in
a small committee room.

PATRICK MUST PAY PENALTY
Supreme Court Refuses to Grant q
Stay of Execution in tile Death Sen
tcnce

Albany, n. Y, June 13.-The court
of appeals today refused to grant a
stay of execution in death sentence
to permit a motion for re-argument in
the case of Albert T.. Patrick, convict
ed of the murder of William NJ. Rice.
The court, which will adjourn ON Fri
day until October will fix the date Of
execution before its adjournment.
Owing to the shOrtness of time be-
fore adjournment, papers on the mo-
ton for re-argument could not be pre-
pared in time. Senator David B. Hill,
counsel for Patrick will prepare to
make the motion for re-argument on
the day the court reconvenes in Octo-
Der.
In order to stay the execution Of
Patrick until the motion can be made,
two courses are open to him. He may
make an application to an individual
Judge of the court to issue an order
staying the execution, or he may make
application to the governor of the state
for a reprieve.
The action of the judge granting the
stay or of the governor granting the
reprieve would postpone the execution
until after the motion for q re-argu'
ment had been made to and determined
by the court. Senator Hill has not de-
cided which course he will pursue

PRESENT PROSPECTS OF PEACE
Russian Government Takes the Public
Into its Confidence.
SUMMARY OF THE NEGOTIATIONS
n Statement Published i'm the Foreign
Office Gaze,te-Tribuse TO President
RooSevelt-Japan's Terms Continue
to be a Subject Of Animated Spec
ulation.

ST. Petersburg, June 14.-2:10 a.. H.
instead of publishing the ext Of its
official reply to the message from.
President Roosevelt, regarding the in
itiation of peace negotiations with Ia
pan the Russian government decided,
with the purpose of taking the public
into its confidence regarding the pros
poets OF peace, to issue a statement
summarizing the status of negotiations
which will appear in the form CT a
communication 10 the foreign Office
gazette today. THIS statement, which,
pays a graceful tribute to Presidenr
Roosevelt's action, expresses IN a gen-
eral way Russia's willingness 70 nego-I
tiate, without entering into particulars
which cannot be considered TO be def
initely determined until the receipt of
Japanese reply. The communication
after reciting the reception of Presi-
dent Roosevelt'S note, says:
In reply to this communication the
foreign minister acting under the EN-
peror's orders, informed the ambassa-
~ - AotS ootSo Od14C 40 04oi tI4N
Emperor, deeply sensible of the senti-i
ments expressed by the President, was
pleased to see therein a fresh mark OF
traditional friendship uniting Russia
and America and precious proof hat
President Roosevelt vas in complete
accord with the views the Emperor
held on a general settlement so essen
tial to the good progress of the whole
of mankind. AS for an eventful meet
ing of Russian and Japanese plenipo-,
tentiaries, charged with ascertaininsf
how far it would be possible for the
two powers tt elaborate conditions II,
peace, the imperial government would
have no objection in principle to slcn
an attempt if the japanese government
expressed a desire therefor"
The fact that the Japanese govern
ment has not yet communicated with
Russia as to time and place and the
number of plenipOtentiaries is not
considered strange, inasmuch as he
text of the Russian reply, sent to
Washington yesterday, could not have
arrived at Toxic, considering the diff
ference in time, until last midnight,
at the earliest
Japan's terms continue to be a mat
ter for animated speculation. A we'll
informed diplomat who says he knew
Japan's terms before the battle of Muk-I
den, considered them to have been very
moderate and believes that ever now
they will be found to be not undulyi
harsh.
Private advices received from a Rus
sian source at Shanghai say it is GER
tain that Japan will demand the sur
render of all ships interned in eastern:
waters, which may be another item Off
setting indemnity.
Papers supposed to have semi-ofhcialI
inspiration continue to speak obviously
of the results; but it is noticeable that
the cheap and popular papers like the
Gazetta plainly advise the people to
reconcile themselves to defeat and,
peace.

1t is rather peculiar that after two
Granville county juries had given yer
diets in favor of Gattis against KiIgo
and Duke and the defendants had
sworn that they could not get justice
in that county and the case was re-
moved to Wake upon these afidavi,s
that at the beginning of the trial in
the latter county a juryman should
come forward and say that he had
been approached in behalf of kilgo-
asked to 90 what he could for this
defendant Wonder if Kilgo and
Dukes friends thought Granville coan-
ty jurors too honest to be allowed to
try the case? If sc it seems they have
struck a snag in that uneducated hon
est son of toll in Wake.

That is a pretty big suit the president
is asked to bring under the Sherman
antitrust law. 1t is said to be of greater
Importance than the one against the
Northern Securities company. The de-
PENDANTS in the proposed suit are the
Illinois Central, the Louisville and
Nashville, the Norfolk and Western,
the Chesapeake and Ohio, the Southern,
the Atlantic Coast Line and some traf-
fc corporations OF associations. It is
against nearly all carrying companies
doing business south of the Potomac
and east of the Mississippi rivers.
There is a charge of a conspiracy in
restraint of trade. One of the prayers
of the complaint is to secure injunction
against the Southern and the Coast
Line securing more stock of railroad
companies in the south and another is
to dissolve the Southeastern Freight
Association. The parties petitioning for
the bringing of the suit seem DESTROYS
Of breaking up all railway combina-
tons.

GUILTY OF
McAlister Placed in Custody OF u. s.
Marshal Until He Answers Questions
Asked Him i'm Investigation of the
so Called Tobacco Trust.

New York, June 14.-William II.
McAlister, secretary Of the American
Tobacco Company, was adjudged gull
t. of contempt in the United States
Circuit court for having refused to
answer questions before the Federal
grand jury in connection with the in
veStigatiOn of the so-called tobacco
trust. McAlister was asked questions
concerning the business affairs of his
company, and was served with a sub
poena requiring him to produce papers
and contracts covering the export bus
mess Of the American Tobacco Com
pany. Upon the advice Of his counsel,
he not only declined to answer the
questions, but to produce the papers
asked for, taking the ground that he
was protected by his constitutional
rights. He was then taken before
Judge Lacombe in the United States
Circuit court, found guilty of contempt
and fined So. Judge Lacombe also or
dered that McAlister be taken into GUS
tody by United States Marshal Henkel
Until such time as he purges himself
of the contempt by answering the
questions and producing the books and
papers. An application for a writ OF
habeas corpus was denied. McAlister
then was taken before United States
Commissioner Shields wnere he fur
nished $1,000 bail for his appearance
pending an appeal to the United States
Supreme court. The higher court will
be asked to pass upon constitutionality
of the points at issue, which really in
wolves the right of the Federal grand
jury to conduct it's investigation under
the Sherman antitrust law.
Assistant United States District At
tOrney Henry w. Taft, who is conduct
ing the investigation, informed Mr..
McAlister, so the papers in the case
say, that the American Tobacco Com
pany was charged with having con-
spired with . the Imperial Tobacco
Company of Great Britain to modify
and restrain trade i'm leaf, chewing and
smoking tobacco and cigarettes
Mr.. McAlister was asked to produce
contracts alleged to have been made
in England on September q, 1902, be-
tween the Ogdens' Company, limited,
the Continental Tobacco Company. the
American Cigar Company, the Consoli-
dated Tobacco Company, the British
Tobacco Company and the Imperial To-
bacco ompany, through which agree
nents it was claimed the corporations
named sought To control and restrain
the export tobacco trade. An agree
ment in connection with the tobacco
trade of the United Kingdom also was
asked for as well as a third series of
agreements or contracts executed i

That Wake county juryman who al.
legged that attempt had been made to
in the Gattis-Kiigo case is deserving
the thanks of the public for refusing
a little interest into this moss-bach
law suit at the very beginning OF the
fourth trial. If such effort really was
made we hope the fact can be estab-
lished and that the guilty party AND
all concerned no matter how high they
may stand in society or church circles

1t seems President Roosevelt favors
Geneva or Berne as the place where
the peace commissioners shall meet.
Japan wants Che Foo or some other
point in the far east, as being more
accessible to ali persons. The indi
cations are that Geneva or The Hague
will be chosen. We cannot say hat
we have very great confidence in the
outcome OF this conference. Russia s
reply to President Roosevelt, while
couched in most friendly language and
pleasing terms, really went no further
than to say thai she was willing TO
lear what terms of peace japan WAS
prepared TO propose. There was MOTH
ing definite in a single expression used.
Japan had much experience with Rus
sian duplicity in diplomatic matters
during the negotiations preceding the
beginning of hostilities. She will be on
her guard against being folled a Sec
end time.
