PEACE NOW URGED Preident Roosevelt Tesires That the y.arrin Nations Come to Terms CASSINI WILL .NOT ADMIT NEED lr. a Conference at the White House ,r President Declares That Rus sia's Military Position is Now Hope less and That Further Fighting Can Only Serve to Increase Japan's De made. Washington, Special The President l r : i v st ruc k a blow for peace In tho fir Kn -t. In a conference at tho Wf.iie House this afternoon with n. mi Cassin!, the Russian ambassa- r, UK- President expressed the earn- r ': that Russia would forthwith 'or-l i !.' peace with Japan. l iolongation of the war, he be !; will not result in victory for the Russian arms and can only render v.mr: diflicult the drafting of a treaty ( f ji.-ace which the Czar as well as th" Mikado can sign. The President sjx.m-. lie said, as the friend of Rus sia no less than of Japan, and on be half not only of the Washington gov ernment, but the interest of humanity. The President informed the ambas sador that in expressing hope for an aily j.eare he voiced not only his strong personal sentiments and those if his government, but he believed these were held by all of the powers. His opinion was that it would be a mistake for Russia to continue the war. In addition to the suffering en taii'd by the naval conflict, he did b'-licve that Russia has anything to will :n prolonging hostilities. The President did not enter into de tails, but the personal nature of the conversation and his long acquain tance with Count Cassini enabled him to talk plainly regarding the decisive character of Japan's victories. What Japan's probable peace terms "would e, the President was wholly unable say, but he did not hesitate to ex j'.r?ss the opinion that difficult as these conditions might prove in the light "f spch a victory as that gained in the Korean Straits, they would increase in severity with every day that a state of war continued. Unless Rus sia has substantial hope of administer ing a decisive defeat to Japan in this war, the President, believed it wculd inure to the interests cf the Peters burg government to conclude peace at once. Having received no word from his government since the annihilation of Rojestvcnsky's fleet save the brief of ficial dispatches telling of the engage ment. Count Cassini was unable to do morn than to give the President his own personal opinions on the situa tion. The ambassador was deeply touched by the sincere cordiality of his reception and the frank and friend ly manner in which the President spoke. He could not see, however, that there was anything in the pres ent situation, unfortunate as it un fKuMedly was for his government, which necessitated Russia's suing for reace. As to territory, he pointed out that China and not Russia had been tho loser, for even Fort Arthur was held only under lease. On the sea Russia had nothing more to lose, he said. It was the ambassa dor's firm opinion that this was not "the psychological moment" in which to discus peace with Japan. What ever might be the ultimate decision of his government, he took the ground that Russia could lose nothing by waiting or by continuing the war on land. There was hope yet of a vic tory for the Russian arms, it was sug gested, and in any event Russia had not yet lost one foot of territory and that there was no Russian frontier en dangered. The ambassador pointed out that there was not the slightest official in timation from any source as to Ja pan's probable peace terms, and that these demands as stated unofficially were "altogether impossible." If Ja pan's terms should prove anything I'.ke as severe as they have -been re ported, it was the ambassador's opin ion that Russia could advantageously continue the war indefinitely, and eventually win a victory on land. That his government would so decide he did not wish to predict, but at last acounts the Emperor was for a con tinuation of the war. Count Cassini will transmit an ac count of the conference to the Czar. Telegraphic Briefs.

Klutnpp eft Co. laaue Tbelr Regular Report The following cotton crop letter is furhithed by Messrs. W. r. Klumpp Co.: r Th? weather conditions th past fortnight have continued unfavorable, and private advices with few excep tions report the crop to be very back ward, compared with last season, far mers Wing unable to vork the fields on account of the protracted raids. In the eastern belt, the plant li making better progress than in the central and western belt, but as a rule over the entire region the crop is doing poorly, especially in Alabama. Mississippi and Louisiana, where the plant la badly in the grass, and in .Texas and Arkansas, where the outlook io many sections is very discouraging, farmers having been unable to finish planting, and some fields beinfc abandoned on ac count of wet weather. The crop is about two weeks later than usual, and considering the reduc tion in acreage, of about 15., as per our crop letter of the thirteenth ult., the weather conditions of the next thirty days are of greatest importance, as they will throw more light on the chances for a crop In keeping with consumption. . Weather conditions will continue to govern prices for some time to come. Memorial Exercises at Trinity College Trinity College, Special.

The pro Jectlle struck a soldier belonging to the cuirassier escort, on the shoulder, and then fell to the ground and explod ed without Injuring his majesty or the President, who continued their drive to the Palais d'Orsay. Several soldiers of the escort were thrown from their horses and injured, whilst fragments of the bomb struck a number of persons in the crowd. King Alfonso and President Loubet had been cheered along the entire route to the opera by enthusiastic crowds, the young monarch having completely gained the hearts of the Parisians since his arrival here. The performance went without a hitch. His majesty chattered gaily with President Ixnibet during the in termissions, and at the close of the performance the orchestra again play ed the national hymns of the two coun tries, and the King and President arose to leave. They proceeded down the grand staircase and arrived at the gaily il luminated and decorated Place de TOpera, where the royal carriage awaited them. The King and Presi dent took seats side by side and the vehicle started off surrounded by sev eral squadrens of cuirassiers towards the Avenue Opera, The procession arrived at the end of the Avenue de l'Opera and crossed the Place Theatre Francias, jwhere were assembled at least 1,500 persons in the Rue de Rohan, a short street forming practically a continuation of the Avenue de l'Opera, right opposite the arched gateway of the Louvre lead ing to the Place Caroussel. There, just a few yards before reaching tho Rue Rivoli, a man sprang forward witb his arm raised in the air-and before the cordon of police could prevent him, without uttering a word, he threw a projectile in the direction of the royal carriage. The police immediate ly rushed toward him. At that mo ment a deafening explosion occurred. Cries from the crowd were heard and a scene of intense excitement began, the crowd surging to and fro. Soldiers were seen to fall, but as the flash from the bomb died out it was ob served that the king and the president had not been struck, and their carri age proceeded on its way. A large number of arrests have been made, including the person who is be lieved to have thrown the bomb, and three persons suspected of complicity in the plot, as the latter were seen under the archway at the Louvre with a destructive engine a few minutes before the explosion occurred. The bomb had been thrown with too great force and passed over the royal carriage and struck the shoulder of a cuirassier and then fell to the ground, where it exploded, fragments of it striking the horses of the sol diers, causing them to bolt and throw their riders. Captain Schneider, who wa3 riding at the right side of the carriage, and Captain Gamier, who was on the left, were both killed. Fragments of the bomb also struck five persons-a sergeant, two police men, a woman, who wa3 seriously in jured, and a child, who was struck In the eye. One horse of the escort was killed outright, and six others lay about maimed and bleeding. Georgia's Reduction. Atlanta, Ga., Special.
