Toklo, June 11.—The following re-
port has been received from the head-
quarters of the Manchurian armies:
On June 9 at 4 o’clock In the morn-
ing wo drove t$ie enemy from the
til rthern heights of Liangahuichuan
and Noirchengtsu and occupied those
posltlous. On the same day we oc-
cupied the. vicinities of Brhahlne, ten
miles northeast of Changtu, Shufang-
ial and Tungchiatzu, ten miles north
of Changut and Hotngtungahan, 13
miles northwest of Changtu. Other-
wise the situation is unchanged.
tltude of reserve toward the question
of peace. There were demonstrations
In the streets of the capital late Sat-
urday evening ami today students or-
ganized a celebration hut a rain
stprm speedily cleared the streets.
It seemed to be a popular fear that
Japan will sacrifice the ad vantage of
Admiral Togo’s victory as well as
Field Mar.Mhal Oyama’s operations by
Httsentlng to an armistice now. It is
felt that Togo's victory opened t.he
Jlursian-Paciftc coast to an invasion
and Oyaana Is capable of speedily tak-
ing Harbin, cutting the railway and
Isolating Vladivostok. It is also faor-
ed that the Russians will take advan-
tage of an armistice to Improve their
positions and strengthen their forces.
There Is a general demand that Ja-
pan carefully safeguard its Interests
if the armistice is declared.

St. Petersburg, June 11.—(11:15 p.
m.)—Russia is waiting for Japan to
fix the time and place when and
whore title Japanese terms will be
placed In the hands of Russia’s rep-
resentatives. The foreign office ex-
pects that the dolay will be brief.
The emperor's government .would
prefer that Paris should be the scene
of the Initial stop, but it is explained
to the Associated Press that neither
the place nor the personality of tho
Russian representatives matters
greatly.
'Idle Russian representative will be
a plenipotentiary vested with powers
to negotiate Ho will be closed with
the power to effect an agreement f>r
the suspension of hostilities, which
suspension will protiably be for a
v--*ry limited period, during which
Russia must decide the momentous
question of peace or a prolongation
»'f the war. During this temimrary ar-
mistice botth countries probably will
lie fret! to continue the movement of
troops and munitions of war within
proscribed ihntfcs; although nothing
definite on this .polpt will be known
until the meeting takes place.
Toklo Newspapers Warn
the People to Be Careful.
Toklo, June 11,—The J1J1 says: "Ja-
pan has shown a willingness to ap-
point plenipotentiaries to meet the
Russians and negotiate peace; but It
t« premature to think this will lead
to the ultimmate conclusion of
peace.
"Much as Japan would like to see.
peace effected, nothing short of full
rights of victory and the placing of
the peace of the Orient on a perma-
nent basis will satisfy Japan. It Is
premature to discuss the berms of
i|>e»ce. It probably will become necos-
sary to arrange an armistice at the
commencement of negotiations and It
will be essential to Obtain some guar-
antee -before concluding an armistice.
In order to prevent the Interests of
Jai|«an from suffering—In thd event of
the negotiations being broken off
The groat and unprecedented victory
must noli he forgotten. Russia’s
great power Is not easily broken down.
It might, require year* before the ul-
timate result of the war Is attained.
Japan does not fear a prolongation of
the war, but the heavy loss of lives
Involve,! move the people from the
depth of their hearts.”
The Jilt thanks President Roose-
velt and pa vs tribute to him for his
action. It concludes by warning the
jKople to be prepared for non-success
of iihe negotiations and for the possi-
ble necessity of continuing the strug-1

continues to exert its influence over

France Now Forpeta
Her Own Troubles.
Paris, June 11.—President Roose
veil’s success in the opening of Hit-'
way for peace negotiations between
Russia and Japan is the absorbing
theme here and France has forgotten
her own troubles with Germany ovir
Morocco to Join the enthusiastic ap-
proval of the American initiative.
Peace Condtlena of
Ruraia and Japan.
Paris. June 11.—A dispatch from
St, Petersburg to the Eclair gives the
alleged detailed peace conditions of
both Russia and Japan. Thd Japanese
conditions number eleven and the
Russian ten. These are practically
the same as the former speculative
coruVt.Ions. namely; an indemnity of
$050,000,000, a Japanese pd t 'ct vrate
over Manchuria and Korea, the ces-
sion of Port Arthur and part of the
Trans-Manchurian railroad to Japan,
the forfeiture of the interned war-
ships, the withdrawal of Russian war-
ships from the Far Bast, for a period
of twenty five years and the occtipa-
ttern lof Vladivostok until these con-
ditions are fulfilled. The Russian
conditions, according fo a dlepatch. re

Givee His Life to Win a Smile.
Cleveland, Ohio, June 9.—To win
a woman's smile Kristian Svendsen,
a Norwegian sailor, risked anil lost
his life today. Svendsen was on the
tow barge Granada of Bay City,
which lies at the Cuddy-Mullen dock
on the lake front.
The captain sent Svendsen and an-
other sailor aloft, to stretch a stay
from the mizzenmast to the fore-
mast, a very difficult job. Svendsen
was perched on tho blocks, sixty
feet above the deck, and with the
aid of a strap was drawing in the
slack, when below him he heard the
chug-chug of a naphtha launch
which was passing the barge.
In the launch was a beautiful wo-
man, and to attract her attention he
wavod his hand, and in doing so re
leased his hold on the mast, relying
on his ability to balanco himself up-
on the blocks.
The woman glanced up. smiled,
and the next instant Svendsen,
clutching convulsively at space,
plunged headlqng to the deck below.
He was dead when picked up.

Berlin Side Is
Founded on a Treaty.
Berlin, June 11.—The Berlin side
of the Moroccan controversy is
founded upon a treaty, of which ar-
ticle 1 reads:
"Continuing and unchanging
friendship shall exist between his
majesty, tho German emperor, and
his majesty, the sultan of Morocco,
also between their empires and their
subjects. Between l\'h' empires
shall the present freedom of trade
continue, and for this purpose each
of the high contracting parties binds
itself to give and to secure to the
subjects of the other all rights, ad-
vantages and privileges now or In
the future held by the most favored
nation.”
This is the treaty of 1891, which
under its terms might have been re-
vised In 189(i, but was not revised
and runs without limitations and
without provision for its denuncia-
tion. Such a contract with Morocco
cannot be dissolved or Impaired, it
is asserted by the German govern-
ment, by the agreement between
Franco and Great Brlinin, to which
Germany Is not a signatory. Ger-
many declines to recognize France
as having any more dominant posi-
tion in Morocco than Germany.
Not Bound by
Table Talk.
Whether France Informed Ger-
many of the agreement with England
has been fully discussed in the
French and British press. The Gor-
man foreign office regarded Foreign
.Minister Delcasse’s conversation
with Prince Von Hadolin, the German
ambassador, as being no more than
a "testable talk.” Prince Von Ra-
dolin'* passive and receptive atti-
tude toward M. Delcasse cannot. It
la said at the foreign office here, he
accepted as the oOrman govern-
ment’s absent to the Franco-German
agreement. Germany does not trust
to France to protect German trade.
The German ambassador to the
United States. Baron Speck Von
Sternbnrg, under . Instructions from
the foreign office, has explained to
the state department at Washington
that. Germany stands for the open
door- In Morocco. Germany has not
asked the United States to do any-
thing, nor . have negotiations of any
kind been begun or proposed. Ger-
many does not expect the United
States to do anything, but she de-
sires that it should bo known In
Washington that the basis of her ac-
tion iri Morocco Is the open door to
trade. The phrase "open floor” has
become a part of German speech. It
is used in tho relchstag wilh the
definition Secretary Hay gave It.
The Real Motive
la Kept Secret.
Behind this legal attitude, as It
may be called, of the German govern-
ment, are diplomatic motives which
are not. easy to measure. Germany Is
disinclined to see France spread In
northern Africa anil would check
and dolay indefinitely, If possible,
that policy of “peaceful penetration”
which would add strength to France.
Protiably Germany Is willing also to
embarrass France and gain a diplo-
matic victory at the time France’s
ally Is fully engaged , elsewhere.
These motives are, however, obscure..
One obvious thing is that Germany
does not consent to have her old re-
lations with Morocco modified by an
agreement to which she Is not a
parly, and after remaining passive
for a year chooses this moment to
object by diplomatic activity at Fez.

Berkeley, Cal., June 11,—Tho sec-
retary of the Republican city com-
mit,toe of Berkeley has been be-
sieged with inquiries from political
and civic reform organizations
throughout the country asking for In-
formation concerning the plan and
working of the scheme for conduct-
ing an election by mall. The idea
was given a practical test recently
by the Tenth Precinct club, com-
posed of sixtylhree voters which
chose Its delegates to the munieiital
convention by United States mall.
The plan worked without a hitch,
and its general adoption for the mu-
nicipal election Is now contemplated.
Tho system is thus described in
the precinct club's constitution:
Eacb member shall have a perma-
nent voting number, which said vot-
ing number shall lie designated by
Hie secretary on the club roll. One
week previous to the meeting, at
which the votes are to be counted
according to this method, the secre-
tary shall send to each member
copies of the matter to bo voted
upon. Together with this matter he
shall send also a stamped return en
vetope, which shall bo large enough
to contain a third envelope, to lie
known as tho ballot envelope. The
I/allot envelope shall consist of two
parts—one simitar to an ordinary
plain envelope, the other resembling
a stub, and containing no opening,
and having the voter’s voting num-
ber only printed on one side, with
space allowed for the number's sig-
nature,
A line of perforations shall divide
these two parts of the voting en-
velope In order that the stub may
be easily detached from the voting
portion of the envelope, in tills por-
tion of the envelope the member
may return his vote to the secretary
sealed up In the return envelope, and
in no rase shall the secretary open
any- return envelopes. The second
part, or stub, shall be used a* a
safeguard in the counting of the bal-
lots. which shall be conducted a* fol-
lows :
At the time specified for the count-
ing of tbe ballot* tbc president shall
appoint a committee of three, to be
called the Judging committee The
chairman of this judging comjrhittee
shall then designate some person to

Black Eagle Says Pale Face Man
Sold the Liquor,
Phoenix, June 9.—Juana Cruz,
Mesa woman, arretted for selling in-
toxicating liquor to Indians, was re
leased this morning tiy United States
Commissioner C. W. Johnstone, on
the evidence of Black Eagle and
Ralph Blackwator, the two red men
whom she was alleged to have sold
the whisky to. They swore that they
had not secured the booze of her,
but had secured It from a white man
at Mesa. At that place Black Eagle
swore the Cruz woman had given
him the whisky, lie explained this
by saying that his brain was muddled
when he made the statement.
Judge Johnstone was on the point
of Issuing a warrant for the Indian
Charging him with perjury, Imt de-
cided not to as lie was not sure
whether tho Indian had sworn to a
lie hero or at Moan. Black Eagle
gets drunk quite frequently, and has
gotten more than one person Into
trouble thereby for violating tho Inw
against selling 'intoxicants to In
dluns.

Chicago, June 8.—Contracts let for

Francisco Imy before June 1, 1907.
The building of tills line marks
new epoch la the west. The I land-
man monopoly west of the great di-
vide is to lie broken. The Western
Pacific Is designed to save I he Mis
Soiiri Pacific from tho fate of the
local railroad. Alone, the Missouri
Pacific stands In constant jeopardy.
New rate regulations on (lie through
lines may ho designed to cut the
local railroads out of traffic at all
competitive points. All local systems
pay heavy toll to rivals In possession
of through trunk line routes. The
wisdom of the Gould plans Is ques-
tioned In no railroad office. Willi

souri, Texas, Arkansas and Louis-
iana, and with his strong Chicago
line, Mr. Gould can undoeiHcdly sup

The cost of the latter is certainly
heavy, but the need for If Is imper-
ative.

Chicago, June 11.—Tho Chicago
Team Owners’ association, an organ-
ization employing 8,000 union team-
sters, lms decided to remain neutral
In the present labor struggle now in
progress In Chicago.
Ever since the commencement of
the teamsters' strike the Team Own-
ers' association has been anxious to
have the question of making deliv-
eries to strikebound houses submit-
ted to arbitration. The teamsters by
an unanimous vote refused to agreo
to the proposition, and for a time
it was believed that the team owners
would force a striko of these 8,000
drivers by ordering them to make
deliveries to firms Involved in tho
striko.
in an effort to learn the sentiment
of the members of the association
regarding the matter It was decided
to lake a referendum vote on tho
question. This vote, completed to-
day, resulted In 155 of the members
voting to remain neutral during tho
trouble and three members voting to
compel the teamsters to obey orders.
Threatened Expansion
of Trouble Averted.
The decision reached by the own-
ers means that there will he no
strike of these men and tho threat-
ened expansion of the trouble in this
direction has been averted. The
Team Owners’ association will hotd
a meeting tomorrow night, when an
official announcement of tho result
of (he referendum vote will be made.
Negotiations for peace, which
promised for a time lust week to bo
successful, have apparently been
abandoned for Urn present at least,
as both side* a(e so far apart on nny
plans of sett lenient, by mediation
that further efforts in this direction
are believed to be futile.
The employers declare that they
have conceded every point possible.
Tile strikers assert that a settlement
along Iho lines proposed by tho em-
ployers would mean “dishonorable
surrender,” and this the officials of
the Teamsters' union emphatically
declare lhey will never do.
