It is probable, however, that the sentence wlll not be executed at that time, because ex-Senator David B.

This would defer the mat¬ ter until October. before which time the motion cannot be argued, as the court is Hkely to take a reeess to-morrow for the summer. EEALISM IN HUNGARY.

Budapest, June 15..Three killed and slxty wounded are the casualties resulting from a fight yesterday between strolling players and villagers at Derekigyhaz, Hungary. The players promised to give an exhibition of cannlbalism and a blg erowd collected. When the players did not give the advertisod exhibition, the vil¬ lagers became threatening. whereupon one of the players became realistic and hit a plece from a spectator's ear.

August Belmont's four-year-old mare Bel¬ dame won the twenty-second renewal of the Suburban Handicap at Sheepshead Bay yester¬ day, and in wlnning lt she fulfllled all the quali- fications the thoroughbred must have before the stereotyped but flnal adjective of superlority may be applied to it. Hereafter, through the years of turf struggles that are to come, this royal daughter of Octagon.Bella Donna may be referred to as the "mlghty Beldame." The un- denlable fact that all save two or three of the ten opponents that met her yesterday were de- flcient in class detracts not an iota from the grea,tness of her deed, nor robs the victory sho obtained over them of a particle of its splendor. From thesa few horses of class she demon¬ strated to the satlsfaction of the most critical observer that she posseesed the quality that was prevlously denled her.the one tlaw ln her per- l'ormances that has kept her from being ranked among the mighty heroes of the -American turf. She had speed in a marvellous degree, the critics admltted, and courage and stamina, but she could not be rated.could not "oome from be¬ hind and win".and no thoroughbred can be ac- counted truly great unless it possesses the abil¬ ity to do this. It is the supreme test and the one most often lacklng. Beldame achieved lt ln the Suburban yesterday against Ute most for- midable opposltlon that the turf of to-day could confront her with. She did not loiter behind a horse of any ordlnary speed, a performer that was making the pace merely on sufferance, to be overhauled whenever a jockey saw flt to make his bid. On the contrary. she was placed behind one of tbe fastest flyers of the day.a colt that, with hls marvellous fllght, can run any ordinary thoroughbred off his feet, carry him so fast a pace that at the end of a mile the horse trying to follow him ls reeling and stag- gering and beaten. THE PACE SHE HAD TO FOLLOW. That colt yesterday was James R. Kaene's Delhi. the four-year-old son of Ben Brush.Viva. and, because of his ability as a sprlnter and his reputatlon as a front runner, ho closed In th. last market a slight favorite over the mare. Those who supported him used as their ar- gument for so doing that he would run her off her feet, and when the real tussle came she would not have the speed nor the disposition left to overhaul him; and even if she did "get to him" and make him quit.as they admitted he might.she would kill herself doing it, and ' some outsider would come along and beat them both. These theorists had some difficulty ln hittlng upon the precise one of the other nine starters most likely to do it, but a majority of them finally selected Proper, and the Prestonpans horse closed third choice to Delhi and Beldame, backed from 6 to 1 to 7 to 2. Others preferred Adbell and Jacquin. the latter upon his good race of the day before, and these two found no little support at prices ranglng around 5 to 1 Adbell and 12 to 1 Jacquin. Flrst Mason at 12s, Alan-a-Dale at 20s, Ostrich at 20s and Bad News at 40s also had a following, mostly of hollday punters, in whose eager ears some earnest tout had whlspered earller in the day: "Ther-'s nothih' to it; it's in now. Didn't I see 'em work him a half in 0:49. the flve-eighths in 1.00 flat and the mile and a quarter in 2:07. wld his mouth open? Honest. now, how you goin' to beat that? Bllly Hurley seed me after- wards and told me to keep it to meself. Touse is the only one I've spoke to. and I know you ain't goin' to give me none the worst of It." All the others.even including Miss Craw¬ ford, the extreme outsider.received the same eloquent eulogies, and not until the numbers of the official placing had been run up could they understand how it had been brought about or how that "sucker horse" Delhi had stayed out ahead so long that the good thlng that had "worked in 2:07 on the bltsky" was so far be¬ hind that he could not be seen through the same pair of gUuases. Incldentally it may be men- tloned that they were more of these diapensers of get-rlch-quick Information than has been seen on a local track ln a long time, and they all seemed to be doing a prosperous business. EXCLUSIVE INFORMATION FOR ALL. The ro*""~ess_on of this prlceless knowledge gave each exclusive possessor of it a proprietary inter?st in the horse that was the unwitting vic- tlxn <.".suse of it. Gaydy young men, with great near-dinmo.id horseshoes blazing from their In- flated chests, spoke of Delhi as "my horse." Stout ladies with powder puffs hidden in remote places referred to Beldame as "our horse." Old men with one foot in the grave referred to Flrst Mason as the horse Charlie Rowe had given 'em (onliil--- ou fourth pa*--. THE SECOND EMPIRE. \ new fast traln on the N. Y.

WEAVER DIGSUP SCANDAL OVER $21,000,000 INVOLVED. Durham s Connection with Contracts Shown in Court. [BT TELBORAPH TO THB TUIBCNE-l Philadelphia, June 15..The most sensatlonal and far reaching action thus far taken by Mayor Weaver in his war on the Durham rlng, was an order issued late this afternoon sus- pending all work on the $21,000,000 filtration contracts. At the same time it was announced that John W. Hill, city filtration englneer, had reslgned, that his resignation had been accepted, and that detectlves had been placed on guard at his offlce at the filtration plant. His offlce in the City Hall was taken charge of immedi¬ ately by Thomas L. Hlcks, Assistant Director of Publio Works. This blow fell on the gang after revelations of a most sensatlonal character had been made at the preliminary trial of Select Councilman Frank L. Caven, who was charged with con- splracy ln furnishlng sami for the filtration works. He was held ln $2,50<> bail for court, but the whole trend of the prosecution went to show that Caven was dragged into court merely in order that evidence might be obtained for the prosecution of the men "higher up." This purpose was carried out with startling results, for testimony was dragged forth from unwilllng witnesse3 to show that lower bldders for the glant filtration contracts were arbltrarlly ruled out, and that a readvertlsement was or¬ dered In order to give the contract to Daniel J. McNichol; that Daniel J. McNichol really own* only one-twelfth interest in the flrm bearlng his name, and that Israel W. Durham and State Senator James P. McNichol, or Mrs. McNichol, owned the other eleven-twelfthe. This is tha flrst time lt has been shown that Durham was a city contractor, and the first time that it haa been declared In court that there was Juggling ln the award of the great filtration contracts. The contracts were awarded in the Ashbrldgo administratlon, and charges of flagrant juggling have often been made in newspapers, but lt re¬ mained for Mayor Weaver to bring them out ln court. His action In suspending work on the plants caused a panic ln the organization. It is taken to mean that all the McNichol contracts, Involv- ing many millions, are to be investigated to the bottom, and that if they are found to have been obtained by fraud, they will be revoked. Immediately after the Caven hearing Durhawi and J. P. McNichol went to Atlantic Clty, where to-night they refused to be Interviewed. Contrary to expectations, the meeting of Clty Councils this afternoon was entirely harmonious, wlth Mayor Weaver in undisputed control. The committee on street railways decided to report favorably the bills repealing the street railway "grab" ordinances. When the repealers were presented they were, under the rules, laid over for printing. A reason given for the failure of the Republican organization to flght the Mayor on the trolley franchises is that the tractlon company contemplates taking the case to the courts. SECRETARY HAY ARRIVES Special Letter from President. Refuses to Discuss Peace Talk. Secretary Hay, accompanled by Mrs. Hay. ar¬ rived late last night on the Baltic. Mr. Hay said he was enjoying excellent health and was greatly benefited by hls rest abroad. The Secretary In¬ deed looked well. His complexion was ruddy and hls step flrm. Deputy Surveyor Bishop was the first one io greet the Secretary when the customs offlcials boarded the Baltic at Quarantlne. There was some doubt as to whether the Baltic would go up to her pier on account of the late hour, and Mr. Bishop assured the Secretary that he would take him up to the city in the revenue cutter if the Baltic anchored off Quarantlne. A reporter showed Mr. Hay a copy of an evening paper announcing Washington as the piace for the peace conference. When askel if he had heard the news by wireless, Mr. Hay said: No, I have had no word concerning the selec- tlon of a piace. Regarding the selection and the peace conference I really cannot say anything. I thank you for asking after my health. Let me say that I feel quite well and have greatly beneflted by my treatment at the baths abroad. I went abroad to rest and made no offlclal vislts. I met Mr. Reid. the American Ambassador to Great Britain. In London. He has the most beautiful home In London. and he ls so much at home ln Dorchester it seems as if he had always lived there. While arranglng for his baggage at Quaran¬ tlne with the customs offlcials, the Secretary received a letter from the President, sent by a special messenger. It was sald on board that Mr. Hay spent a great part of his time on deck. He attended all ineals, and took dlnner one day wlth Charles H Tweed, formerly wjth the Southern Paciflc Railroad. Miss Wadsworth, daughter of the secretary to the American Embassy ln London. sat with Secretary and Mrs. Hay at the cap- taln's table. Mr. Hay's daughter. Mrs. Payne Whitney, ac¬ companled by her husband. were the flrst per- eoiib to go up the gangplank at the pier. The entire pnrty drove to the Whitney home ln an automobile. * PEACE ENVOYS COMING HERE. Washington Chosen as the Meeting Piace of Pleni- potentiaries. RUSSIA AND JAPAN MAKE REQUEST. Negotiations May Be Conducted at Some Summer Resort, but Final Treaty Likely To Be Signed at the State Department. [FBOM THE nUBOm BTREAtr.l Washington, June 15..Washington has been selected as the plaee of meeting of the pleni¬ potentlaries of Japan and Russia, and lf, as President Roosevelt confidently expects, a con¬ vention of permanent peace is concluded, It will go down in history as the Treaty of Washington. The date of the meeting has not yet been de¬ cided. Minister Taknhira called on the President at ll o'elock this morning aad informed him that Japan was satisfied wlth the text nf Itussia's note of acceptance. The question of piace was then dlscussed for a little over an hour, and an hour later the following authoritatlve statement was issued frora the White House, on the Presi¬ dent's direction, by Secretary Loeb: When the two governments were unable to agree upon either Che-Foo or Paris, the Presi¬ dent suggested The Hague. But both govern¬ ments have now requestod that Washington be chosen as the piace of meeting, a id the Presi¬ dent has accordingly formally notifled both gov¬ ernment* that Washington will bo so selected. Secretary Loeb added to this announcement a statement that if Washington proved too hot the conference would doubtless adjourn to some Northern resort, at which further meetings would be held. Eren if this course be pursued, it is expected that the flnal agreement will be reached and a convention signed ln Washington. It is learned that the President wlll be pleased to piace at the disposal of the plenipotentlaries two naval vessels (presumably the Sylph and the Dolphln) to convey them to any resort which may be selected. While further details have not been perfected, it is probable that the Presldeiit will return from Oyster Bay to welcome the Japauese and Kussian eommissioners to the national capital, but will go back to his summer home as soon as they begin their negotiations. WHY WASHINGTON WAS CHOSEN. Up to this morning the Presldent hoped that he would be able to induce both beiligerents to agree on The Hague as the plaee of meeting. as he held that the sentiniental reasons for seleet- ing the birthplace of organlzed international arbitratlon for the nntivity of a peace wbich he believea will be lasting were exceptionally good. Japan's opposition to the selection of any '.ocation in Europe was. however, so clear!-*- manlfested in this morning's conference, while Russia remained utterly opposed to Asla, that the President was conipelled to abandon the sentimental idea and content himself with as- suring both diplomats that the American capital would be glad to welcome thelr "respectlve coun¬ tries' repre_>entutives. The conference witb Minister Takahira lasted over'an hour. and is presumed to havo r- ln.e 1. at least in part, to the earliest practic for the ass.>mbling of tiie conference. it being the effort of the President to secure the ap¬ pointment of a day in the near future. It is generally believed that the plenipotentlaries can- not reach Washington much before the middle of August.possibly later. The dnratJon of the conference must be. neeessarily, purely a mat¬ ter of specuiation, but lt i9 recall. d that wli?n the corumissioners for the United States and Spain met in Paris in 1S9S they were in almost continuous session from October 1 until Decem¬ ber 10, desplte the fact thnt the problems which confronted them were far less intrieate than those which the Russian and Japanese commis- sioners wlll he called on to solre. In that in- stance the major portion of the differences be¬ tween the United States aud Simin had been eliminated by a protocol in advance. while it now seems probable that none of the many questions at issue between Russia and Japan can be dlsposed of before the actual meeting of the peace conference. The only available piace for the formal ses¬ sions of tbe plenipotentlaries in Washlngton is the diplomatic reception room of the Depart¬ ment of State. r-djoining Secretary Hay's of¬ flce. This fine apartment is admirably adapted for tbe formal ser.sions, from the exhibition of eredentinls and the various meetings to discuss articles up to the final signing of the deflnitive treaty. The crowdcd condition of the building. however, precluries the possibility of the two delegations. with their clerks. befng aceommo- dated within its walls for the numerous sep- arate meetings which must occur between the formal sessions. and these are likely to be held in the legations of the two powers In this city or ln two of the hotels.

obligation to any livlng man with respect to my action as the owner of this stock."

This statement elicited some comment when it was remembered that Mr. Ryan had

previously written to Mr. Cleveland saying that he, together with other polieyholders,had bought the stock.

year seven directors to be selected by the pollcy¬holders. Each policyholder whose policy haa

or has the risht to contribute. a single dollar

toward the purchase of the stock."* he said. The

price paid to Mr. Hyde was S2.50O.00O. Im¬

PATRICK EXECUTLON SET.

Week of August 7.Rcprieve or

Stay lAkely.Albany, June 15..The Court of Appeals this

afternoon fixed the week beginning Monday,August 7 as the period in which shall take piacethe executlon at Sing Sing Prlson of the death

sentence on Albert T. Patrlck, whose appealfrom conviction of the murder of William M.Rice the court denled last week.

It is probable, however, that the sentence wlllnot be executed at that time, because ex-SenatorDavid B. HUI is preparing further steps towarda motion for reargument in the case and willalmost certainiy secure either a reprieve fromthe Governor or a stay of executlon from some

judge of the court. This would defer the mat¬ter until October. before which time the motioncannot be argued, as the court is Hkely to takea reeess to-morrow for the summer.

BELDAME QUEEN OF ALL.JFINS CLUSSIC SUBURBAN.

Delhi Surrcnders and Proper Forcesthe Great Mare Out.

August Belmont's four-year-old mare Bel¬dame won the twenty-second renewal of theSuburban Handicap at Sheepshead Bay yester¬day, and in wlnning lt she fulfllled all the quali-fications the thoroughbred must have before thestereotyped but flnal adjective of superloritymay be applied to it. Hereafter, through the

years of turf struggles that are to come, this

royal daughter of Octagon.Bella Donna may bereferred to as the "mlghty Beldame." The un-

denlable fact that all save two or three of the

ten opponents that met her yesterday were de-

flcient in class detracts not an iota from the

grea,tness of her deed, nor robs the victory shoobtained over them of a particle of its splendor.From thesa few horses of class she demon¬

strated to the satlsfaction of the most critical

observer that she posseesed the quality that was

prevlously denled her.the one tlaw ln her per-

l'ormances that has kept her from being ranked

among the mighty heroes of the -American turf.

She had speed in a marvellous degree, the criticsadmltted, and courage and stamina, but shecould not be rated.could not "oome from be¬

hind and win".and no thoroughbred can be ac-

counted truly great unless it possesses the abil¬

ity to do this. It is the supreme test and theone most often lacklng. Beldame achieved lt ln

the Suburban yesterday against Ute most for-

midable opposltlon that the turf of to-day couldconfront her with. She did not loiter behind a

horse of any ordlnary speed, a performer thatwas making the pace merely on sufferance, to

be overhauled whenever a jockey saw flt to

make his bid. On the contrary. she was placedbehind one of tbe fastest flyers of the day.acolt that, with hls marvellous fllght, can run

any ordinary thoroughbred off his feet, carry

him so fast a pace that at the end of a mile the

horse trying to follow him ls reeling and stag-gering and beaten.

THE PACE SHE HAD TO FOLLOW.

That colt yesterday was James R. Kaene'sDelhi. the four-year-old son of Ben Brush.Viva.and, because of his ability as a sprlnter and his

reputatlon as a front runner, ho closed In th.

last market a slight favorite over the mare.

Those who supported him used as their ar-

gument for so doing that he would run her offher feet, and when the real tussle came she

would not have the speed nor the dispositionleft to overhaul him; and even if she did "getto him" and make him quit.as they admittedhe might.she would kill herself doing it, and '

some outsider would come along and beat them

both.These theorists had some difficulty ln hittlng

upon the precise one of the other nine starters

most likely to do it, but a majority of them

finally selected Proper, and the Prestonpans

horse closed third choice to Delhi and Beldame,backed from 6 to 1 to 7 to 2. Others preferredAdbell and Jacquin. the latter upon his goodrace of the day before, and these two found no

little support at prices ranglng around 5 to 1

Adbell and 12 to 1 Jacquin. Flrst Mason at 12s,Alan-a-Dale at 20s, Ostrich at 20s and BadNews at 40s also had a following, mostly of

hollday punters, in whose eager ears some

earnest tout had whlspered earller in the day:"Ther-'s nothih' to it; it's in now. Didn't I

see 'em work him a half in 0:49. the flve-eighthsin 1.00 flat and the mile and a quarter in 2:07.wld his mouth open? Honest. now, how you

goin' to beat that? Bllly Hurley seed me after-

wards and told me to keep it to meself. Touse

is the only one I've spoke to. and I know youain't goin' to give me none the worst of It."

All the others.even including Miss Craw¬

ford, the extreme outsider.received the same

eloquent eulogies, and not until the numbers of

the official placing had been run up could theyunderstand how it had been brought about or

how that "sucker horse" Delhi had stayed out

ahead so long that the good thlng that had"worked in 2:07 on the bltsky" was so far be¬

hind that he could not be seen through the same

pair of gUuases. Incldentally it may be men-

tloned that they were more of these diapensersof get-rlch-quick Information than has beenseen on a local track ln a long time, and theyall seemed to be doing a prosperous business.

WEAVER DIGSUP SCANDALOVER $21,000,000 INVOLVED.

Durham s Connection with ContractsShown in Court.

[BT TELBORAPH TO THB TUIBCNE-lPhiladelphia, June 15..The most sensatlonal

and far reaching action thus far taken byMayor Weaver in his war on the Durham rlng,was an order issued late this afternoon sus-

pending all work on the $21,000,000 filtrationcontracts. At the same time it was announcedthat John W. Hill, city filtration englneer, hadreslgned, that his resignation had been accepted,and that detectlves had been placed on guardat his offlce at the filtration plant. His offlcein the City Hall was taken charge of immedi¬ately by Thomas L. Hlcks, Assistant Director ofPublio Works.This blow fell on the gang after revelations

of a most sensatlonal character had been madeat the preliminary trial of Select CouncilmanFrank L. Caven, who was charged with con-splracy ln furnishlng sami for the filtrationworks. He was held ln $2,50<> bail for court,but the whole trend of the prosecution went toshow that Caven was dragged into court merelyin order that evidence might be obtained for theprosecution of the men "higher up."This purpose was carried out with startling

results, for testimony was dragged forth fromunwilllng witnesse3 to show that lower blddersfor the glant filtration contracts were arbltrarllyruled out, and that a readvertlsement was or¬

dered In order to give the contract to Daniel J.McNichol; that Daniel J. McNichol really own*

only one-twelfth interest in the flrm bearlnghis name, and that Israel W. Durham and StateSenator James P. McNichol, or Mrs. McNichol,owned the other eleven-twelfthe. This is thaflrst time lt has been shown that Durham was acity contractor, and the first time that it haabeen declared In court that there was Jugglingln the award of the great filtration contracts.The contracts were awarded in the Ashbrldgoadministratlon, and charges of flagrant jugglinghave often been made in newspapers, but lt re¬mained for Mayor Weaver to bring them out lncourt.His action In suspending work on the plants

caused a panic ln the organization. It is takento mean that all the McNichol contracts, Involv-ing many millions, are to be investigated to thebottom, and that if they are found to have beenobtained by fraud, they will be revoked.Immediately after the Caven hearing Durhawi

and J. P. McNichol went to Atlantic Clty, whereto-night they refused to be Interviewed.Contrary to expectations, the meeting of Clty

Councils this afternoon was entirely harmonious,wlth Mayor Weaver in undisputed control. Thecommittee on street railways decided to reportfavorably the bills repealing the street railway"grab" ordinances. When the repealers werepresented they were, under the rules, laid overfor printing. A reason given for the failure ofthe Republican organization to flght the Mayoron the trolley franchises is that the tractloncompany contemplates taking the case to thecourts.

SECRETARY HAY ARRIVESSpecial Letter from President.Refuses to Discuss Peace Talk.Secretary Hay, accompanled by Mrs. Hay. ar¬

rived late last night on the Baltic. Mr. Hay saidhe was enjoying excellent health and was greatlybenefited by hls rest abroad. The Secretary In¬deed looked well. His complexion was ruddyand hls step flrm.Deputy Surveyor Bishop was the first one io

greet the Secretary when the customs offlcialsboarded the Baltic at Quarantlne. There was

some doubt as to whether the Baltic would goup to her pier on account of the late hour, andMr. Bishop assured the Secretary that he would

take him up to the city in the revenue cutter ifthe Baltic anchored off Quarantlne.A reporter showed Mr. Hay a copy of an

evening paper announcing Washington as thepiace for the peace conference. When askelif he had heard the news by wireless, Mr. Haysaid:

No, I have had no word concerning the selec-tlon of a piace. Regarding the selection and thepeace conference I really cannot say anything.I thank you for asking after my health. Letme say that I feel quite well and have greatlybeneflted by my treatment at the baths abroad.I went abroad to rest and made no offlclal vislts.I met Mr. Reid. the American Ambassador toGreat Britain. In London. He has the mostbeautiful home In London. and he ls so muchat home ln Dorchester it seems as if he hadalways lived there.

While arranglng for his baggage at Quaran¬tlne with the customs offlcials, the Secretaryreceived a letter from the President, sent bya special messenger.

It was sald on board that Mr. Hay spent a

great part of his time on deck. He attended allineals, and took dlnner one day wlth CharlesH Tweed, formerly wjth the Southern PaciflcRailroad. Miss Wadsworth, daughter of thesecretary to the American Embassy ln London.sat with Secretary and Mrs. Hay at the cap-taln's table.Mr. Hay's daughter. Mrs. Payne Whitney, ac¬

companled by her husband. were the flrst per-eoiib to go up the gangplank at the pier. Theentire pnrty drove to the Whitney home ln an

PEACE ENVOYS COMING HERE.Washington Chosen as the Meeting Piace of Pleni-

potentiaries.RUSSIA AND JAPAN MAKE REQUEST.Negotiations May Be Conducted at Some Summer Resort, but Final Treaty

Likely To Be Signed at the State Department.[FBOM THE nUBOm BTREAtr.l

Washington, June 15..Washington has beenselected as the plaee of meeting of the pleni¬potentlaries of Japan and Russia, and lf, asPresident Roosevelt confidently expects, a con¬

vention of permanent peace is concluded, It will

go down in history as the Treaty of Washington.The date of the meeting has not yet been de¬cided.Minister Taknhira called on the President at

ll o'elock this morning aad informed him that

Japan was satisfied wlth the text nf Itussia'snote of acceptance. The question of piace was

then dlscussed for a little over an hour, and an

hour later the following authoritatlve statement

was issued frora the White House, on the Presi¬dent's direction, by Secretary Loeb:When the two governments were unable to

agree upon either Che-Foo or Paris, the Presi¬dent suggested The Hague. But both govern¬ments have now requestod that Washington bechosen as the piace of meeting, a id the Presi¬dent has accordingly formally notifled both gov¬ernment* that Washington will bo so selected.Secretary Loeb added to this announcement a

statement that if Washington proved too hotthe conference would doubtless adjourn to some

Northern resort, at which further meetingswould be held. Eren if this course be pursued,it is expected that the flnal agreement will bereached and a convention signed ln Washington.It is learned that the President wlll be pleasedto piace at the disposal of the plenipotentlariestwo naval vessels (presumably the Sylph andthe Dolphln) to convey them to any resort whichmay be selected.While further details have not been perfected,

it is probable that the Presldeiit will returnfrom Oyster Bay to welcome the Japauese andKussian eommissioners to the national capital,but will go back to his summer home as soon

as they begin their negotiations.WHY WASHINGTON WAS CHOSEN.Up to this morning the Presldent hoped that

he would be able to induce both beiligerents to

agree on The Hague as the plaee of meeting. as

he held that the sentiniental reasons for seleet-ing the birthplace of organlzed internationalarbitratlon for the nntivity of a peace wbich hebelievea will be lasting were exceptionallygood. Japan's opposition to the selection of any

'.ocation in Europe was. however, so clear!-*-manlfested in this morning's conference, whileRussia remained utterly opposed to Asla, thatthe President was conipelled to abandon thesentimental idea and content himself with as-

suring both diplomats that the American capitalwould be glad to welcome thelr"respectlve coun¬tries' repre_>entutives.The conference witb Minister Takahira lasted

over'an hour. and is presumed to havo r- ln.e 1.at least in part, to the earliest practicfor the ass.>mbling of tiie conference. it beingthe effort of the President to secure the ap¬pointment of a day in the near future. It isgenerally believed that the plenipotentlaries can-

not reach Washington much before the middleof August.possibly later. The dnratJon of theconference must be. neeessarily, purely a mat¬ter of specuiation, but lt i9 recall. d that wli?nthe corumissioners for the United States and

Spain met in Paris in 1S9S they were in almostcontinuous session from October 1 until Decem¬ber 10, desplte the fact thnt the problems whichconfronted them were far less intrieate thanthose which the Russian and Japanese commis-sioners wlll he called on to solre. In that in-stance the major portion of the differences be¬tween the United States aud Simin had beeneliminated by a protocol in advance. while itnow seems probable that none of the manyquestions at issue between Russia and Japancan be dlsposed of before the actual meeting ofthe peace conference.The only available piace for the formal ses¬

sions of tbe plenipotentlaries in Washlngton isthe diplomatic reception room of the Depart¬ment of State. r-djoining Secretary Hay's of¬flce.
