COMMANDERS TO MEET
Midway Between Armies tc
Sign an Armistice.
Another Battle Imminent Franco
German Relations Guns Taken Out
of Fighting Tops President Asked
to Recognize Norway Extra Ses
sion o( Legislature.
Alone on the plains of Manchuria
mldwuy between the two grout armies,
the Russian anil Japanese communders
will meet to sign the armistice which
will puve the way for tho Washington
conference, If the preseut program lb
followed.
Exchungcs on this point aro now In
progress between Toklo and St. Pe
tersburg, via Washington, but no final
sonclu'duu has been reached.
It was first thought a preliminary
protocol'mlght be signed at Washing
ton providing for a temporary cussa
tlon'of hostilities! but iu view of tho
fact that this concerns directly the
armies Iu tho field -if Is believed that
tho belligerents will agree that ar
rangements fur the armistice may be
entrusted to Llnevlteh and Oyanni,
tho respective' commanders-in-chief
who In such event' would be tele
graphed speelnf powers to sign. .
Will Meet-In Washington.
Washington has becu selected as
tho Beat of negotiations between tho
plenipotentiaries of Russia and Japan
for a treaty of peace. Tho choice of
Washington as the location of the
peace conference marks another for
ward step In the negotiations toward
ultimate peace In the Far East Insti
tuted by President Roosevelt.
Both Russia and Japan arc moving
with the utmost deliberation, for the
gnmo of diplomacy now being played
Is of even greater Importance to each
government than ore the movements
of armies on tho battlefield. It will
require ut least u month for the nego
tiators of tho two governments, with
their respective staffs, to assemble.
It Is well understood that the Jap
anese government wlJ n&t make
known prior to tho assembling of the
plenlpoten'arlcs tho terms on which
she will be willing to conclude peace.
The Jnpnneso emperor Is known to de
sire that, when peoce Is concluded,
It shnll be coupled with reasonable
assurances of its permanency.
Among well Informed diplomats It
Is deemed probable that Japan's terms
once they are stated will be regurded
by the world 'as reasonable and like
ly to be acceptable to Russia.
Another Great Battle Imminent.
The certaluty that pence ncgotla,
tlons cannot begin for another month
leads to tho conviction that unother
great battle will be fought In the In
terval. According to London Telegraph's
Tien Tsln correspondent a Japanese
forward movement has already com
menced In spite of the rainy season.
The Dally Telegraph's Toklo corres
pondent gives an interesting Idea of
the slluatlon from a correspondent
who Is said to be in a good position to
know tho actual facts. This corres
pondent snys that tho principal Rus
sian depot Is at Gunshu pass, whence
many light railroads are being con
structed northward to facilitate re
treat. Lieutenant General Llnovltch, be
wildered by the strategy of the Japa
nese, Is making repeated reconnais
sances nnd throwing out innumerable
scouts. Nevertheless nt the present
moment, the correspondent says, all
his army Is completely enveloped. The
Japanese army has made a circle a
hundred miles In circumference around
Liuevitch and is gradually closing in.
Franco-German Relations.
The strained relations between
France and Germany over Morocco con
tinue to give rise to serious ap
prehensions at Tarls. but while openly
admitting that there are real difllcn
ties involved tho ofllclals protest
against this being made the basis of
exaggerated reports. Such reports
have hern circulated for several days
of this Is tho Inability thus far of eith
er party to propose a remedy accept
able to the other. France Is tenacious
to uphold her predominant position in
Morocco without subjecting it to In
spection nnd revision by the Interna
tional congress proposed by Germany.
On the other hand Germany does
not recognize French predominance in
Morocco or tho Anglo-French agree
ment ou which this predominance Is
based. Thus Germany's issue is equal
ly against Great Britain and' France,
although the latter Is nioro Immediate
ly involved.
Death of General Gomez.
General, Maximo Gomez died ut Ha
vana Saturday.
El Caudillo (the Chieftain), as the
great leader of revolutions was called
by his countrymen, leaves a widow,
five sons nnd onn daughter. Only Sat
urday the secretary of tin- treasury de
livered to one of General Gomez' pons
a check for $ lOO.ndO. which had been
voted nniHilniousl.v by congress for tho
general's benefit and approved by
President Palma. This was in addi
tion to $o0,ono previously voted by
congress.
General Maximo Gomez, who com
mando.! the Cuban forces dining the
Insurrection which broke out in 1S'J5
and ended with the complete Independ
ence of the island on May 201, l!iJ2.
was born at Haul. Santo Domingo, In
lS.'iC. and came of a Spanish family
which had settled there.
He began life as a cavalry officer In
Cie Spanish army In Santo Domingo
ana served during to last occupation
of Santo Domingo by Spain.. When
Lie Spaniards were driven from the
Island, Gomez went with the Spanish
troops to Cuba and for a time was in
garrison ut Santiago.
Bvlng disgusted ut the manner In
which the Spanish general, Vlllar,
treated starving Cuban refugees for
whom Gomez had collected funds, the
young lieutenant severed his connec
tion with the Spanish army.
He Joined the putrlots in the Insur
rection of 18G8 and fought 10 years,
being Cuban commnnder-ln-chluf from
1873 to 1878.
25 Deaths In a Collision.
The deuth roll of Saturday night's
wreck on the Western Maryland
rullroad, near Baltimore, now foots up
25 and this number Is likely to be In
creased from 'among the list 'of those
grievously mangled.
All the dead were employes of the
railroad returning to their homes In
the small towns along the railroad to
spend Sunday. With the exception of
tho train crews they had been at work
repairing the damage done to the road
bed 10 days ago by. a minor freight
wreck at Mt. Hope station
The traln'which was Nd. passen
ger westbound, carried many passen
gers, all the coaches being filled.-
As many pf the workmen as could
do so went Into the baggage car, the
remainder of the gang of 35 finding
places on tho platforms between the
rail and baggage cars and between the
lutter and the tender.
An extra freight made up of heavy
coal and provision cars, running east,
was ordered to take a siding -to allow
No. 5 to puss. Why the orders were
disregarded will never be known, for
nil those who should have seen that
they were oboyed arodead.
The passenger train was running 30
miles an hour and the freight, drawn
by two engines, wus making good
time. West'of the bridge they came
together with terrific force, the three
engines being piled one top of unother.
Beldame Won the Suburban.
Uehlume, August Belmont's great 4-year-old
mare, won the Suburban eas
ily. Proper wus second and First Ma
sou third. Delhi, tho favorite, went
to the from at the start and stayed
there for a mllo with open daylight
between hlni and Ueldumo. Adbell
got into third place and alternated
there with Jucquln until tho Stretch
turn. Beldame rushed up to Delhi at
the turn uud passed htra like a flash.
Delhi died away under the whip.
Others closed around him uud he fin
ished sixth. First Mason cut In be
hind Beldame, but Proper passed him
in tho last few Jumps and secured sec
ond money. The winner was a heavily
played second choice at 3 to 1. '
No Guns In Fighting Tops.
Orders were received . at the New
York navy yard from the navy depart
ment to remove the guns from the
fighting tops of the battleship Ala
bama. Orders have been issued also
that the guns are not to be replaced
on the fighting tops of the battleship
Indiana which Is being repaired.
It Is reported thut the guns are to
bo replaced by range finders nnd that
similar orders were to, he Issued re
garding other battleships. The news
of the victory of Adndral Togo In the
battle of the sea of Japan is said to
havo Influenced tho decision to put
rango finders in place of tho one
pounders which have occupied the
tops.
Requested to Recognize Norway.
Norwegian residents of the United
States have nppvalvd to tho president
to recognize the new government
of their country. It Is the understand
ing here that Norway will ask recog
nition us a nation from all the civil
ized countries of the frorld. So t'xr
as can be ascertained, uo. protest yet
has been made to this government by
Sweden against the recognition of No1
way, but it is believed not unlike'y
that such a protest will bo made.
King Oscar May Name a Prince.
The Copenhagen correspondent of
the London Dally Mail snys he learns
from a very reliable source that
if the Swedish riksdag agrees to the
dissolution of tho union of Sweden and
Norway, King Oscar will be perfectly
willing to designate a prince of the

In accordance with the request of tha

Asked to Withdraw.
Committee of 70 Insists on Rpeal o'
"Ripper" Law Taking From tviayoi
Selection of Heads of Police tan-
Public Works Ministers Ask Dur
ham's Removal by Governor.
Philadelphia, June 20. The Repub
llcuu city campaign committee held at.
unusual meeting, to consider a demunc
from eifizens that the party ticket t
he voted for lu November be changed
The candidates are: Sheriff, Henry C
Ransley; coroner, John B. Lukens,
city commissioners, Hugh .Black ant
Jacob Wildcmore.
At the conclusion of the meeting
which was secret, It was announced
thut a sub-committee of three consist
lng of Chairman James U Miles, Davie
Martin and David H. Lane, had beoc
appointed to meet a slmijar committee
from tlu; "committee of 21, as cltl
zens who signed a letter to the cltj
committee demanding a new ticket
have been designated. The commit
tee Is albo empowered to see the can
dldutes and endeavor to Induce then
to withdraw. .
This action Is the result of a lettei
written on June 13 and signed by 21
Republicans, urging the leaders to co
operate lu naming a new ticket that
would have the confidence of the Re
publican voters of Philadelphia. Al
the candidates who are asked to with
draw are "ward leaders" of the Repub
llcun organization and as such wen
active lu pushing through councils re
contly the legislation extending th
United Gas Improvement compuny'i
lease of the gas works.
Mr. Ransley, as president of selucl
councils and head of the ticket, brought
-down upon his head tho condemna
tlon of citizens because of tho uctlvc
- part he took' In passing tho leglsla
tlon.
It was concluded by tho leaders thai
It would be necessary to place a new
ticket In the field made up of men whe
had no connection with the gas lease
legislation.
The naming of a new ticket will not
necessarily cause a withdrawal of the
opposition to the Republican orguniza
tlon under the leadership of I. W
Durham. Mayor Weaver and hi!
friends, who were formerly strong ul
lies of the organization, are believed tc
bo hostile to any move that will con
tlnue the present leaders In power.
In addition, the committee of 70 If
perfecting Itself lu every ward wltt
the declared Intention of placing a tick
et In the field Independently of what
the Republican organization may do.
The reform leaders are upparentlj
confident of their ability to defeat the
regular Republican .ticket and the)
claim they will have the support ol
Mayor Weaver and practically all ol
the officeholders recently appointed tc
take the places of the men removed
since the mayor's war on the organlza
tlon leaders began.
The committee also adopted a reso
lutton favoring the repeal of the
"ripper" law which was passed In the
last days of tho legislature and
ehunged tho selection of the dlrectoi
of public safety and director of public
works.
Tho "ripper" law took from the
mayor the power to apjxilnt tho dlrec
tor of public safety ond director ol
public works and vested tho appoint
lvo power of these ofllclals In clt
council. The resolution was Intro
duced and passed without comment.
Five policemen and one fireman
were discharged yesterday. The men
had been found guilty of charges pre
fcrred against them.
Isaac J, Fleming, who for 27 yean
has been foreman of the city hall la
borers, was also dismissed for neglect
of duty.
The Methodist preachers at theli
weekly meeting ndopted a resolution

THE EXTRA 6ESSION.
Probability That the Hooker Charge
Will Be the Only Business.
Albany, Juno 20. Indications mul
tiply thut the charges against Justice
Warreu B. Hooker of the supreme
court will be . the only mutter pro
posed by Governor Hlgglns for the at
tentlon of the extraordinary session
of the legislature which he has sum
moned to convene here at noon on
Wednesday,
The governor said last night that he
had been' urged to recommend action
on almost every proposition whlcb
failed of passage at the regular ses
slon. He would not Intimate In anj
way what mutters he would propose
for legislative action, adding that prob
ably he would give no Intimation on
the subject until the two houses of the
legislature had uctunlly convened and
that his message thereupon would be
very brief. 'T am not prepared tc
say," he said, "whether any other than
the Hooker matter will be proposed."
Topics pertinent to the extra ses
sion will bq considered at a conference
to be held here today by Governoi
Hlgglns, former Governor Odell, at
chairman of the Republican state com
mlttee,' Seuutor Raines, Republican
leader In the senate; Chairman Malb)
of the senate finance committee;
Speaker Nixon of the assembly and
possibly one or two other prominent
legislators. Governor Hlgglns said he
had no Intimation that the conference
would have any particular reference
to -the matter of the Equitable Life
Assurance society or the report there
on of Insurance Superintendent Hen
drlcks.
Governor Hlgglns declined to ex
press any opinion as to the probable
length of the special session of the
legislature. Most of the leaders whe
have been here say they believe II
will last at least a month.
The present expectation Is that on
Wednesday or perhaps Thursday the
formal charges against Justice Hookei
will be adopted substantially as for
mulated by the assembly Judiciary
committee and will be delivered tc
one or both of the rergpunts-at-arm
to be served upon Justice Hooker at
his home In Fredonla.
Tho legislature will probably then
take a recess for about 10 days ot
perhaps over the Fourth of July tc
give Justice Hooker time In which tc
prepare a reply. Upon reconvening the
reply will bo taken up and probably
the taking of evidence will be begun.
MERCHANTS' TRUST COMPANY.
Sale of Hudson Valley Stock Will En
able Directors to Pay Off De
positors at Once.
New York, June 20 The directors
of the suspended Merchants' Trust
company have voted to accept the of
fer of $850,000 made by a syndicate for
the Hudson Valley Railway company
stock which Is held by tho trust com
pany. An official statement which was giv
en out after the meeting says that It
now remains only for the consent ol
the court to permit the sale to be ob
tained.
It adds that In event of the sale be
ing completed, the $850,000 thus ob
tained added to $300 000 In cash on
hand, $300,000 In New Yonk city bonds
held by the company and $300,000
promised by certain of tho directors
to bo advanced for the purpose, will
enoble the depositors to be paid oft"
immediately.
It Is the intention of tho board of di
rectors, after the depositors are paid,
to apply to the courts for an order di
recting the receivers to turn over the
other securities to a committee to be
named by the stockholders and ap
proved by tho courts. '
They expect that this committee
will be authorized and empowered to
merger such remaining securities us
they best can, and that the stockhold
ers will he finally paid a substontlal
portion If not all of the value of their
stock.
