No soouer is the Russo-Japa- Bese war over and even before the | peace treaty has been ratified than his | majesty issues invitations to a second peace coulerence at The Hague That the emperor has done so was learned from a source which leaves no shadow of doubt as to its authenticity, | It is officially announced that “the | Russian government propises to ad- dress the foreign powers with a view | to the holding of a second peace con- | ference at The Hague,” but it Is known | that negotiations preceding this an- | nouncement that the government “pro- | posed” to address the powers were! entered Into especially with the United | States and were conducted with the | greatest secrecy, there being not the | slightest inkling that Russia contem- plated anything of the kind ; The aunouncement created the great- | est surprise here, aud that Russia should plan a second conference de | spite the steps already taken by Presi. dent Roosevelt was also heard with ¢ amazement.
