That Their Peace Plenipoten

August 1st.
This is Considered Important Step
Forward for Peace. A Rus
sian Minister Declares an Mfc-.
uistice Pending Meeting is
Impossible.
jjv Associated Press.
Washington, June 26. The Presi
de has expressed the wish to the
jap .iuse and Russian governments
;ha i he plenipotentiaries meet in the
Uii vd States on the first day of An
ns . and if not on that date then at
'if t-uiiiost date thereafter.
President Fixes Date.
Petersburg. June 26. Both Japan
J H'!?sia. it is now understood, have
m that their plenipotentiaries shall
ne-1 ia Washington during the first
:en lays of August, but the exact date
pro il'Iy will not be announced by the
pit alent. The question of precedence
fvii ontly is the main stumbling block
;o , rompt a settlement of the num
ber 3i personal negotiators. Both sides
w.ii desirous to take the initial move.
While the exact number of plenipo
iriri aries has not been officially ar
ranged, both sides seem tacitly agreed
en three. Actual announcement of the
r.s:; cs are expected within a few days.
As 'facial statement of the situation is
-All is going on favorably."
T' e question of possible armistice re
rai.;s in abeyance for the moment,
Jap: it. it is understood, declining to
ukj the matter up until the issues in-
v ed in the Washington meeting are
kely settled. In the meantime
The ? have been heavy downpours in
J!aivhuria and the rainy season may en
iu the suspension of military oper
ates before diplomacy can act.
Naming the Plenipotentiaries.
Xlidoff, Russian ambassador to
Fa. is. and Baron Rosen, the new Rus
sian ambassador to Washington, are
Fsia's tenative selections of plenipo-
lanes.
Tukulura, the Japanese minister here,
:; understood to have been selected as
t;;? of the plenipotentiaries, but the
of F. Rankin,, Japanese envoy
aanot be learned.
Ii is not believed that Marquis Ito
Till be able to come, and it is. possible
that Field Marshal Lamagata may take
lis place. This information comes
iron, a high source, but no formal an
:.'mn' ement can be made until it is
ed whether Nelidoff's health will
pen-iit him to make the trip.
Peace Negotiations
Sr. Petersburg, June 26 ,12:51 a. m.
Xei Jtiations for the peace conference
have taken an important step forward,
a proposition for the date of the meet
in? of the plenipotentiaries at Wash
ington having been submitted to Rus
sia i-nd now being under consideration.
The exact date proposed has not been
as'-f 'tained, but there is reason to sup
posi that it is some time during the
first week or ten days of August, which
is a jout the earliest period at which
the Japanese representatives could be
P c ted to reach Washington, allow
ing "easonable time for the acceptance
of 'he proposal and the interchange
J t ip negotiations of the plenipoten
'.iar 's. ,.
T e Emperor's answer is not expect
M f t a day or two, and the diplomatic
dill ; of Russia grind slowly and the
fore office, as one of the secretaries
put it, "is not used to your hustling
Atv.iean methods;" hut it is thought
that the date will be satisfactory, as
iU 11 give ample time for M. Nelidoff,
Russian ambassador at Paris, or
ether Russian negotiators to reach
Vaington, and there will be little
Pel:minary work for them to do until
'1" lapanese terms are submitted.
Waether the proposal regarding the
tote, originated at Tokio, or Washing
ton, cannot be learned, but the fact
Aat the negotiations were conducted
thrr ugh Ambassador Meyer, may in
''i a' that President Roosevelt has
frrUps again stepped to the fore and
-;?t.csted to the two powers, neither
whom are willing to take the initia
te, a suitable date.
, A. ibassador Meyer is still exchang
;r'S ommunications with Foreign Min-!stf-'
Lamsdorff by letter, the minister
tei"3 confined to his apartments in the
niin stry, but in his latest note writ-t-a
by his own hand, Count Lams
'l0rft expressed the hope that he had
sufficiently recovered to permit of "per
son;.1 exchanges of views today and the
JnUttr's indisposition also prevented
kim from receiving the German,
rei-ch and other ambassadors during
st few davs.
Xeratoff, under minister of for
J'gn affairs and the spokesman of the
J-.-'p. office, in an interview, in The
zctta. declares an armistice pending
ne :,((! ing of tne plenipotentiaries is
131 P ohable and he comments on the
j. :ility of a battle taking-place be
?. conference is held.
Jr- Russian Invalid, the army or
?n. "applies an argument for peace
13 3:i estimate of the strength of the
fPMcse armies, which it places at
oO.OOO to 600,000 men, including
irees operating in Korea. In the
!e !Q;:anese armies opposing General
lnr -vltch, exclusive of cavalry and ar
I''y, it is estimated that there are
ifom 430,000 to 450,000 bayonets, which
es Field Marshal Oyama a decided
numerical advantage over the strength
usually allotted to Lineyitch's army.
The Japanese forces, it says, are divid
ed as follows: .
General Kuroki, 115,000 to 120.000
bayonets; General Oku, 110,000 to 115
000 bayonets; General Nogi, 55,000 to
90,000 bayonets; General Nodzu, 45,
bayonets, and General Kamimura, 73,
000 to 80,000 bayonets.
The Noveo Vremya prints an inter
view which its correspondent at Paris
had with a Japanese diplomat, who
says that while nobody outside of the
Emperor of Japan and his principal
advisors is yet in possession of Japan's
terms, he believes that they are mod
erate and will be acceptable. He adds
that Japan is anxious to conclude an
everlasting. peace, 'but her attitude is
not influenced by the slightest doubt
as to her financial ability to continue
the war, she having anticipated a much
longer and more difficult period of hostilities.
THE VALUE OF THE NAVY.
A French Engineer Draws Lesson
From Eastern War.
Paris, June 26. M. Ferrand, engin
eer in chief of the French navy, has
given to the Maritime Technical As
sociation his views upon the naval les
sons of the Russo-Japanese war.
The first general lesson that he
draws is that if Russia had devoted
more effort to the creation of a great
navy, the war would have been avoid
ed, or in any case Japan would not
have become mistress of the seas, nor
have sent troops into Manchuria with
out great risk.
What economy qf life and money,
he explains, would have been spared
the empire of the Czars had it not
rendered war certain by devoting itself
so largely to the works of peace.
Turning to the direct question of na
val construction, he says it is evident
that it was the six great first-class bat
tleships which insured from the first
moment Japanese supremacy.

By Associated Press.
Boston, June 26. Amalgamation or
the white and colored races through in
termarriage as a solution of the race
problem was advanced yesterday by
Charles W. Chestnutt, a negro author
of Cleveland, Ohio, before the Boston
Literary and Historical Association.
He spoke on race prejudices, its causes
and cure, saying: -
"The most difficult of the differences
which hold us apart from our fellow
citizens is the difference in color.
Should this difference disappear en-r
tirely, prejudice and the race problem
would cease' to exist. I not only believe
the mixture of races will in .time be an
accomplished fact, but it will be a
good thing for all concerned." f

it is evidenced that troops are being reT

JAPAN'S PEACE LOAN.
Steps to Be Taken For Rehabilitating
Business After the War.
New York, June 24. K. Takahshi,
the foreign financial agent of Japan,
by whose efforts the war loans were
floated, left this city today en route
for home in 'response to a summons
from the Japanese imperial minister
of finance. Mr. Takahshi will sail
from San Francisco on July 3. I
He will appear before the imperial
cabinet immediately on his return to
Tokio, and confer with the officers up
on the advisability of making further
large loans in foreign markets in the
event that peace then seems assured.
Japan, it is explained, will need a
considerable amount of monev after
the war to give new impetus to her
industries. While business in Japan
at present is in no way injured, yet
if the money advanced by the Japan
ese Deople in the first war loan of
$250,000,000 is returned to them on
the termination of the war, it will give
tremendous new life to Japanese in
dustries. All departments of busi
ness, it is believed, will be vastly bene
fited' by this large amount of money
being put back into commercial chan
nels. . . -

early as possible. A call has been ex
tended to Rev. Mr. Bateman, formerly
of Raleigh, but more recently of Mt.
Ulla, Rowan county. He recently made
a visit to the church here making a
very favorable impression upon the
membership. It is hoped here that he

calls. .

MORE MONEY FOR MILITIA.
National Appropriation For
State
Troops to Be Doubled.
Washington, June 26. The national
guard of the country, with the un
doubted approval of the administra
tion, will ask Congress at its next ses-
sion to supplement the Dick bill, re -
organizing and making tne guard a i
part of the national defense under the
general supervision of the War De
partment. j
The legislation alluded to has baen
carefully prepared, originating with
the officers of the national guard and
perfected according to suggestions
from the War Department. Its princi
pal feature is the doubling of the an
nual Federal appropriation of $1,000,-
000 for" armament and encampment ex
penses of the guard.
It is estimated that the added mil
lion, if obtained, will give but $10 .a
man to the guard, which sum is said
to be imperatively necessary to properly-
equip and instruct the members
of this auxiliary defense arm- of the
government.
Other features of the bill embrace
a provision for paying the actual ex
penses of officers making inspection
tours in connection with the promo
tion of the rifle practice; regulations
governing the auditing of accounts in-,
cident to encampments, and giving the
Secretary of War discretion as to
what shall constitute proper "inciden
tals" for such encampments for which
the government is to pay. The bill
will doubtless be introduced in the
Senate by Senator Dick.

BIG LABOR DEMONSTRATION.
To Be Made in London in Support of
the Unemployed Bill. "
iLondon, June 26. The great dem
onstration in support of the govern
ment unemployed bill has been fixed
to take place in Hyde Park on Sunday,
July 9. It will be a national demon
stration in the sense that all provincial
towns will send trades union deputa
tions to be selected at specially con
vened local demonstrations, to be held
on July 1 and 2 one week ahead.
There will, however, be no road march
es to London.
The program of the gathering will
be akin to that usually adopted in con
nection with previous similar meet
ings. Probably arrangements will be
made for getting the people into the
park more expeditiously. The Em
bankment will again be used as the
gathering place. .Mr. - Kier Hardie,
M. P., and his colleagues have all of
the arrangements in hand.'
The meeting, which will be on an
enormous scale, will be less to criti
cize the government than to support
it. The government is meeting with
some opposition in its proposed legis
lation, notably, for instance, from the
London County Council, and from
some of the London boroughs.
Meanwhile the labor representative
committee met this week and decided
to officially make arrangements for
the demonstration.

Newport, N. H., June 26. Dr. Scud
der of Boston, a specialist, arrived on
a special train during the night to at
tend Secretary Hay, who arrived at hi3

day. Secretary Hay suffered a sud
den relapse of nervous breakdown, but
grew much better after the arrival of
the physician and today his condition
became so favorable that Dr. Scudder
arranged to return to Boston.
Secretary Hay's illness was due to
an attack of uremia, caused by cold
contracted on his trip to Newberry.
It is thought that he will be all right
in a day or two. The attack is simi
lar to others experienced during re
cent years. .
The remedies which were given for
relief on previous occasions were ap
plied, but failed to help him, and the
physician found that in changing from
the climate of Washington to a cooler
temperature of the Lake Sunapee re
gion the Secretary had taken a severe
cold, and that the organs weakened
by previous attacks had been seriously
affected. Upon learning this Mrs. Hay
desired a specialist to be summoned
at once. -Just
before noon it was reported
fromj Secretary Hay's bedside that the
patient was "resting comfortably with
everything favorable." . r
