la Kar ICaat < rawaa* Wltk •>< araa—Araatadrv RaaB—Trvatr «'ltr Rot Kaowa \»C WASHINGTON. Junr IS. - Official r.'*uraui-«> that the prv*kl»*«t'« effort* to brtug HuiuiIb aud Japan tugether to dlav-ua* tteace *rt|| be crowned with nuo-wa wn* brought to the ^lllte Houae by Count CaaKtnl. the Kuwalan uinbaaaailor who called by appolntmeut and In the name of the Emperor Nicholas formally accepted the pres! dent * •offer of good vrtlL" The followtuK official atatement regnrdlug the c* inference wus Issued at the White HourV: “Anitiaaaailor ('aaalni called to pres-* the Kusalan gorernment's aa to the prewMenYs proposition and to •tate that they would appoint plenipotentiaries to meet the pienlpotcn tiurlas of Japan to dtainas the question of peace." A conference of supreme Importance was held In the bine room of the White House here, aqd President Rooeerelt, Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador. ami Kogoro Taltahira, the Japanese minister, wore the principals. President Roosevelt now has Unequivocal assurances from both Russia and Japan of the acceptance of hi* proposition that they enter on negotiations for peace. The president likewise Is assured at the absolute sincerity of both government* in acceding to hls sugges-

tion.

The St. Petersburg correspondent of the London Tlmee say*: "It U no exaggeration to say that President Roosevelt 1* the moat popular man In Russia today. The president'* rare insight, aided by the skill and tact of hi* ambassador. Mr. Meyer. enabled him to gauge the proper moment to offer advice which the Initiator of The Hague peace conference could not refuee." A St. Petereburg dispatch says that the Rpaslau experiment In parllamentarlaulsm will begin In September. The emperor ha* already given hls approval to the scheme now being finally but formally reviewed by tbe council of > state for a bicameral legislative body, eonalstlng of a lower bouse, called (be goeodarstvennala duma (imperial dumai. and an upper house, gosudarotvecuala a©vet or the present council of the empire, but reserving to the exar final authority. Tbe emperor's government would prefer that Parts should be the scene of tbe Initial step for peace. The Russian representative will probably be Kanci Koeen. but he will not be a plenipotentiary with full power to negotiate. Hls dqty will practically be confined to the reception and trnnsmlesion to his government of the Japanese terms for decision a* to whether they afford a basis for actual peace u<gotlatlona. The commissioner will be clothed with power to effect an agreement for the suspension of hoetllltle*. which suspension will probably be for a very limited period, during which Russia must decide the roomentou* question of peace or a prolongation of the war. The Japanese plenipotentiaries to arrange terms of peace, it 1* said, will be Marquis Ito. Premier Katsnra. Foreign Minister Kotnnra, Marquis Tamagata. and others are being suggested for possible neads of tbe commission. Pt. Petersburg dispatches bay that Rmwta has already practically obtained Japan's conditions and that they have proved so surprisingly moderate that Russia certainly will accept them as a basis for negotiation*. There has already been a practical •napension of hostilities In Mancfaorta, for the Japanese legation baa heard nothing further of the recently reported forward movement of Oyama's army against Ltnerttch. According to the best opinion.' Russia is prepared to abandon the whole of her Manchurian adventure and give guarantees. Tbs rub will come upon the question of an Indemnity which. It is tbx concensus of opinion In' diplomatic circles. Japan will exact but If It should be moderate and sugar coated so that It could be liquidated by the sale of the Chinese Eastern railroad and the cession of Ruaafan property and lease* In the Kwangtung peninsula It might be overcome » Roaala probably will Inalst on bolding tbe railroad to Vladlroatofc through northern iManchntia and win never submit to tbe banimation of disarmament In bar only port In tbe Pacific nor to the Inhibit** against havtng warships In those water* A Pay* dispatch say*

CLEVELAND ACCEPTS. Mraa Vlaaa KealtaMa la Ureal nu a aria! Merger. NEW YORK. June IS.—Paul Morton, the new chairman ol the Equitable society, has Issued a circular to the agency force of tbe society In which he gives .them official notice of hls el*lion and quotm tbe announcement by Thomas F. Ryan of the purchase of tbe Hyde stock. Mr. Morton added: "The Equitable society ha* been severely tested and tbe ordeal haa tea led to tb$ world Its strength and prosperity with an emphasis which could never have been shown as significantly by any ordinary method of demonstration." The organisation of the largest trust company in the United States and one of the largest financial institutions of tbe world Is said to be a part of the plan of Thomas F. Ryan In negotiating the purchase of the stock of the Equitable Life Assurance society held by James H Hyde. Mr. Ryan's plan Is reported to be to consolidate the Equitable Trust company, the Mercantile Trust company and the Morton Trust company, all of this city, with the latter In control. A letter from former President Cleveland to Thomas F. Ryan concerning the trusteeship of tbe stock of the Equitable has been made public. The letter says in part: "l have received your letter asking me to act as one of three trustee# to bold the stock of the Equitable Life Assurance society, which haa lately bean acquired by you and certain aasodatea, and to use the voting power of such stock In the selection of directors of said society "After a little reflection 1 bare determined I ought to accept this service. I assume this duty upon the express condition that so far as the trustees are to be vested with diacre Hon In tbe selection of directors they are to be absolutely free ond undisturbed In the exercise of their Judgment and that so far a* they are to act formally In voting for the director* conceded to policy holders a fair and undoubted expression of policy holding choice will be forthcoming. "We can better afford to slacken our pace than to abandon our old, simple American standards of honesty, and we shall be safer if we regain our old habit of looking at the appropriation to personal uses of property and Interests held In trust In the same light as other forms of stesllng."
