THEY HAVE AGREED To AGREE
Through the Efforts of President
Roosevelt Peace Is Assured
in the Ear East.

Official assurances that the presi-
dents efforts TO bring Russia and Jap
an together to discuss peace will be
crowned with success was brought to
the White House Monday by Count
Cassini. the Russian ambassador, who
called by appointment and in the name
of Emperor Nicholas formally accepted
the presidents offer of good will. The
following official statement regarding
the conference was issued at the White
House:
Ambassador Cassini has called to ex-
press the Russian governments assent
to the presidents proposition and to
say that they would appoint plenipo-
tentiaries TO meet the plenipotentiaries
of Japan to discuss the question of
peace. The place of meeting is at
present being discussed"
During the past two weeks the presi-
dents efforts have been directed to-
ward mutual agreement to consider
terms of peace. This he accomplished
finally Monday. 1t remains now for
the belligerent powers to name their
plenipotentiaries and agree upon time
and place for them to meet to discuss
terms and to negotiate a treaty of
peace. These "details are now under
consideration, with bright prospect
that such minor differences as may ex-
list will be resolved within a few days.
Conferences of supreme Importance
were held Monday in Washington. The
blue room of the White Huose was the
scene, and President Roosevelt, Count
Cassini and Kogoro Takahira, the Jap
anese minister, were the principal COLI
ferees. President ROOSEVELT now has
unequivocal assurances from both Rus
STA and Japan of the acceptance of his
proposition that they enter on negotia.
tions for peace.
The president is likewise assured OF
the absolute sincerity of both govern.
ments in acceding TO his suggestion.
Japan was the first of the two powers
to indicate its acceptance of President
Roosevelt's proposition. The formal
response to his identical note of Thurs
day last was received from the Japan
ese government Saturday. Infolma
assurances of acceptances of the presi
dents suggestion were received from
the Russian government a little later
but the assurances from st. Petersburg
were not of the same definite character
as had been received from Toxic.
Early Monday Ambassador Meyer
at st. Petersburg, informed this gov
eminent that Russia had accepted the
presidents proposition and would name
representatives with plenary powers Il
meet plenpotentiaries of Japan. While
satisfactory, the response of Russii
was not in the same definite form al
that of Japan. 1t had been the expec
tation of the president to publish to thu
world the replies of the two govern
ments to his identical notes, but undei
the circumstances this could not b'
done.

RoosevELT's NOTE FOR PEACE
Sent to Japanese and Russian Gov
ernments.

On June the following dispatch
was sent by the president through dip
lomatic channels to the Japanese and
Russian governments:
The president feels that the time
has come when in the interest Of all
mankind he must endeavor to see if
it is possible to bring to an end the
terrible and lamentable conflict now
being waged- When both Russia and
Japan the United States has intimacy
and friendship. It hopes for the pros
perity and welfare of each, and 1t
feels that the progress of the world is
set back by the war between these
two great nations. The president ac-
|cordingly urges the Russian and Jap
|anese governments, not only for their
own sakes, but in the interest of the
whole civilized world, to inaugurate
direct negotiations for peace with one
another.
The president suggests that these
peace negotiations be conducted di
rectly and exclusively between the
kelligerents; in other words, that
there may be a meeting of Russian
and Japanese plenipotentiaries or del
egates without any Intermediary, in
order to see if it is not possible fol
these representatives of the two pow
ers to agree to terms of peace. The
president earnestly asks that the Rus
sian and Japanese governments dc
now agree to such a meeting and il
asking the Japanese and Russian gov
ernments to agree likewise.
while the president does not fee
that any intermediary should be call
ed with respect to the peace negoti
atoms themselves, he is entirely will
ing to do what he properly can,
the powers concerned feel that his ser
vices will be of effect in arranging thu
preliminaries as to the time and plac'
of meeting. But if even these prelim
inaries can be arranged directly be
tween the two powers, or in any othe
way, the president will be glad, as hi
sole purpose is to bring about a meet
ing which the whole civilized worl
will pray may result in peace"

GROWS WIRELESS POTATO.
Can Supply New Tubers at Any Sea-
son OF Year

A Great Fairs, Mont. man has pro-
duced potatoes without vines, and as
serts that he is now able to supply
new potatoes for the market at any
season of the year. The inventor will
not reveal the process in detail. He
has conducted his experiments in a
box AXIS feet, in which mere is a steam
coil for heating.
He states that he has succeeded,
after much experimenting, in perfect
ing a compound resembling soil that
when heated is a fertile field for the
development of plant life. In a layer
of this compound he plants potato
eyes, then another layer of the COM
pound with more potato eyes, and so
on until the box is hlled. He claims
that in this compound potatoes grow
without any portion of the vine or
sprout appearing above the surface;
that all growth is in tubers and that
it is not necessary for either light or
air to reach the potatoes at any stage
Of their growth, elements in the COM
pound serving the purpose Of oxygen.
At first the potatoes, when exposed
% the air, rotted quickly, but now
this has been overcome, he says, and
his experiment is an unqualified sue
cess after many years. Those who
saw the box he exhibited showing po
tatoes in varying stages of growth
were greatly impressed with the re
suits. A Chicago man has offered him
100000 for his inventions, he says.
