WASHINGTON, LETTER
From our &e$iUr CorfiiidiAt.
President Uoosevelt has
startled thedip'tomatic world
by his frank, Identical foote
tri russia and .tapanln which
he expresses, in terms regard
ed as extraordinArily loree-
ful for the language of diplo
macy, his urgent desire that
peace between the belligerents
may be speedily accomplish-
ed. It is generally assumed
hat the President, nis a Re
sult of his extensive commu
icntions with both the Czar
nd the Mikado, conducted
hrough the United State
Arabapsador to St. Peters
burg and the Japanese Min
iHter to Washington, was as-
ured that such an appeal
would be welcomed by hot h
nations. In f.ict too other hy
pothesis would Account f o r
the publication of the precise
angtoagi of the appeal.
wThe President feels that
tho time has come when m
he interest of all mankind
lie must endeavor to see if it
is not possible to bring to an
end the terrible and laments
ble conflict now being wnged.
savs thu President, and fur
ther along he says, "The
President accordingly urges
he Russian and Japanese
Governments, not , only for
heir own sakes, but in the
interest of the Whole ciyiliied
world, to open negotiations
or ppace one with another.."
While the note is not occep
tionally emphatic for the
President, it is remarked that
in diplomatic parlance t h e
expression "urge" is partieu
arly strong and would ordi
harily be replaced by such ah
expression as "libiies fWt,''
etc.
the effort of the Preaiderit
t'6 seen re direct negotiations
rather thati further to act as
intermediary will prove a re
lief to many who bare watch
ed the negotiation with ho
little anxiety fenriiig that Ja
pan. at' least would look to
thetlnitpd States to insure
good fnith on tbepnrt btRus
sin, nn insurance which the
President would assuredly
be powerless to jfcive; especi
ally without the" sanction of
Congress. If the belligerents
act upon the President's ap
peal there will undeniably be
added another triumph to
the administration of Theo
dore Roosevelt.
The Morocenn situnlion is
beginning to Attract consid
erable nttpntion, although

C9nferenee. Moreover it-is in

velt intended to send a rep

fchee; hi though by flo doltig
he would run the risk ol eerf-

the treaty had been d 6 1 y'
sign'ed Us contents were com
municated to Germany, tm
mediately, or almost so, Em
peror William made his plans
to go to the Mediterranean
and touch atMoroccd. While
there, or soon dfter, ho had
been there, and as a suppose
ed sequal to his visit, tbe Sul
tan rejected the proposals of
the French foreign Minister,
M. Delcasse. Now the Emper
or calls an international con
ferertce to undo the work of
France and Freat Britain
and do it over again along
lines that will give Germany
a hand in the affair. With all
this the United States is, of
course, little concerned, out
it is a matter of regret to
conservative statesmen that
t he President should entari
gle this country in the affair.
The. plea on which the Presi
dent will be the protection of
the foreign trade interests. of
this country, but as the Uni
ted States aold to Morocco
during the last fiscal year
less than $1,000 w orth of
goods, the plea is somewhat
specious.
Considerable interest is man
ifested in what is termed here
the peaceful revolution o
Norway against the rule of
Sweden. The particular inter
est which attaches in Vn&h
ington being due to the fact
hat it has resulted in the re
turn of Minister Grip who
was popular ;n the nationa
capital. Minister (inp is a
Norwegian and will, it is sup
posed, resign from the diplo
ma tic service of Sweden when
he returns td theSwedisbcap
tal.The outcome of the revo
ution is also looked for with
interest especially as itseemb
possible that Norway may
establish a republic follow
ng the lines of the United
Stabs, but it is hoped with
some modern improvements
Arrangements are practi
cally complete for the trip o
Secretary Tnft to the Philip
nines and it is regarded as
noteworthy that few mem
bers ot Congress of any par
ticulnr standing, especially
in tb Republican party, wil
make the joUrney. There are
a tew 01 trie more prommen
m m . t - :
Democrats, but the leading
Republienns in both houses
of Congress are conspicuous
by their absence. The reason
of this is not easily explainet
though it. is caid that the
older men in' both 'parties re
ganlthetrip as too expen
sive and arduous to permit
of their undertaking it.
If the jodgmetitof thep'rdm
nent Republicans is to be ac
cepted, the President has run
up the white flag before th
assaults of the stand patters
and wilJ not call Congress in
Fpecial session next fall. Th
stand natters have been in
sistinirthat there would
be
uo extra session for s o m
time, but re-en tly Senator
Hansb'rouirh. aftei a Ion

out and told the newspaper
