Rumor Was incorrect.

Last nights TumOrS that President
Roosevelt had rendered his good offices
to both parties are Incorrect. The pres
idents friendly disposition and perfect
willingness to undertake to open ncgo-
tiations are. however. well understood
here and without asking directly that
they be communicated to Japan. Rus
STA could make known to President
Roosevelt through Ambassador Cassiui
the conditions to which she could not
agree. while thus giving Japan AN Op-
poTtunity Of knowing Officially what the
basis of the peace negotiations must be.
Russia avoids thc attitude of suing for
peace or actually submitting proposals,
and besides places the United States
and Great Britain and the powers gen
orally in a position where they could
offer Japan advice as TO the reasonable
ness Of the proposed basis. Having
been apprised of RusSia'S position,
Japan has two alternatives. either to
decline absolutely to open negotiations
on such a basis or indicate her own
attitude. If the negotiations are
opened Russia probably viii be pre-
pared to make broad concessions ON
collateral issues, as stated by the As
sOCiatcd Press.

Paris. March 29.-AI the official in

fetal view is now strongly optimistic
that peace is not far distant. This view
is not due to exact information, but is
the result Of a settled conviction that
peace is the only logical outcome of
Russia's present predicameut How
ever. the foreign Office refuses to credit
the various reports that France is tax

report from a northern capital that
Russia has asked Foreign Minister
Delcasse to act as Intermediary.

Moreover. Mr.. Mccormick departure
from St. Petersburg tonight is regarded
in diplomatic quarters here as indicat-
ing that there is no imminence of the

with a l@avishncss that filed his friends
with awe, and making unsuccessful at
tempts to break the bank at Monte Carlo,
James Tod Sloan, one time champion
Jockey of the world, is in Paris, working
as ii chauffeur.
From a wardrobe that was equal to
that of any Beau Brummel in the world,
and which made him a pet in society, the

has reached this country, is in want Of
both clothes and a place to sleep. He
is in Paris. employed temporarily by a
French utomobile concern at a paltry
salary-a salary that In a month does not
reach the figures of one days expenses
Two years ago.
When not employed as a chauffeur he
is engaged in selling machines for diff
ferent concerns, who rely upon his repu-
tat.on as a former jockey to bring trade
to their shops. His downfall since being
ruled off the English tracks has been
rapid.

in France tina he would never return to

learn that he is now receiving less thar

annually when he last saw his relatives.
His foster parents live at kokOmo, Ind..

not long ago, but he gave none TO them,
and they are not now In a position IN

to do so. An effort will be made to raise
funds for him should he care to return ia

the disposition of the young man declare
he will never be seen In this country
