How is the balance of life'on the
globe maintained: asks John Bur-
roughs in Outing. Why have not spe-
cies exterminated'ppecles? Why have
not the birds exterminated the insects.
, and the hawks and owls exterminated
the birds?. Because the insects are so
much more prolific than the birds. and
hawks and owls. The hawks and owls
‘ are also more restricted as to food.
The more adaptive an animal is the
greater are the chances of surviving.
If wolves and foxes could browse like
deer and sheep and rabbits they would
be as numerous as these latter species.
The potato bug has unduly increased
in the east because its food is abund-
ant, and’, its enemies have not appear-
ed. The forest worms threatened to
destmy the maple woods of some sec-
tions, till its enemy, the ichnuman fly,
appeared. Rabbits have increased un-
duly in Australia because their natu-
ral enemies have not kept pace.
In order to practice medicine or dad

hates, possessing only American quali-
fications, must regard the present law
in the Transvaal as a well which it is
impossible for them to surmount. Sev-
eral qualified" American medical and
dental men recently made the mistake
of coming to the Transvaal intending
to” establish themselves here in the
practic of their professions. only to
find out that the law was prohibitive.”
Some extraordinary bets have been
made on the Japanese-Russian war. A
number of JapanoSe officers have bet
. . that they would be killed in battle.
~ ' The money was to go to their widows.
One oncer on starting for the front
made the following wager: if he were
killed within a month his heirs were to
. receive 3500. After that he was to pay
his opponent 10 you ($5) a day until
he had survived 100 days. after which
. the bet was to cease. lie undertook
to expose himself to danger only when
military conditioua demanded it; in'
other words, he would not wilfully let
himself be killed.

Newspapers Now Believe that
Emperor Should “Sue for
Peace if Japan’s ‘ Demands
Are Not Unreasonabls-
ispan Army Continues Ad-
vsnoe
“.3.—
ST. PETERSBURG. June 8.—-There
is a significant change in the tone on
the part of some of the Russian news—
papers, like the Name Vremya. which
never heretofore have even admitted
the possibility of the conclusion of
hostilitieauntii Russia had recovered
her military prestige by a victory. To-
day the papers discuss calmly the ad-
visability of ending the war if Japan' s
terms are reasonable. The payment of
a big indemnity. they declare, would
be too humiliating. The Novoe Vrem-
ya says bluntly that if Japan asks too
much it will pay Russia to prolong the
contest indefinitely; while the Russ
argues that if representatives of the
Russian people are called together
Japan will see herself confronted by
the whole nation and she will readily
agree to reasonable terms
"Even the revolutionists." the Russ
adds, “are not traitors. They are
lighting the present rotten. bureauc-
racy and not the mother country.
They would not tolerate a disgraceful
peace."
Universal regret is expressed in oili-
ciai circles at the retirement of M.
Delcasse, until recently French minis~
ter for foreign affairs. He was regard-
ed as a true friend of Russia. was a
personal friends of Foreign Ministe
Count Lamsdorif and was a sincere
and unequivicai supoporter of the dual
alliance. The Novoe Vremya says:
"We know how to appreciate true
friends. We have so few of them."
The Rose and Slovo consider M. Del-
cssse to be the victim. of trying to
play the impossible role of a connect-
ing link between two rivals—Russia
and Great Britain. The Slovo says:
“M. Deicasse's policy was ever di-
rected towards the isolation of Ger-
many but he forgot that an alliance
with Great Britain would ruin any
politicul system aimed against Ger:
many. The British alliance has not
helped France in Morocco, but ithas
embroiled her with Germany. M. Del-
casse pays the penalty by retiring, as
complications can be easier avoided
with him out of the cabinet, and his
retirement will not affect the dual ul-
ilance.”
TOKIO. dune 8,1 p. m.—lmpcriai
army headquarters made the following
announcement today;
“At 11:30 o'clock on the morning of
June 7. a body of Russians. some 160
strong, advanced from the direction of

NAGASAKI. June 8.-——lt is reported
here that the Japanese are offering

The Oldhamiu was captured by a
Russian cruiser May 19 while bound

sene. She was re-taken May 27 by a
Japanese warship in the battle of the
Sea of Japan and was subsequently
taken to Sasebu, where she arrived

WASHINGTON June 8..—-M Jusse~
rand the French ambassador had a
conference with the president soon af-
ter the laticr's arrival at the execu-
tive offices today. The ambassador
was with the president for about half
an hour. At the close of the inter—
view, Ambassador Jusserand said that
he could not discuss the object of his
call. Pressed for a statement as to
whether peace negotiations were in
progress he replied that he could say
nothing; that he had no news He
said that if anything at all were to
be made public it wold haveto come
necessarily from President Roosevelt.
So far as his conference with the pres-
ident was consumed. he was at liberty
to say nothing. . .

WASHINGTON. June 8.——Acting
Secretary of State Loomis called on
the president today immediately after
the visit of Ambassador Jusserand.
While he would admit nothing as to
the nature of his visit there is ex-
cellent reason for the statement that
he presented to the president the de—
ciphered cable .dibpatches from ’Ain-
bassador Meyer at St, Petersburg and
Ambassador Reid at London. The die-
patch from Ambuh’sddor Meyer was re-
ceived over night. but was not trans-
lotcd until today. The nature of its
contents at this time is not known.
Mr. Loomis ache left the White
House. said that he was not in a posi-
tion to discuss the peace situation at
all. He expressed the belief that noth-
ing would be made public here in an
official way today'regurding the nego-
tiations. He admitted that the situa-
tion was delicate and indicated that as
a reason for not making public any
details containing thanegotiations in
progress.
ST. PETERSBURG. June 8.——i’res-
ident Roosevelt, striving with excel-
lent prospeois of success to end the
bloody war. is now the central figure
of the world s stage. One of the main
obstacles it seems will be overconre
once both Japan and Russia have
agreed to accept his good offices for
the arrangement of the preliminaries.
The beliigerents are expctced to be
able to arrange the peace terms direct
The president is believed to share
with Emperor William the view that
the beiligerents should be allowed to
settle the actual terms without out-
side interference. Evidence also ex-
ists that President Roosevelt has 86'
cured the support of several conti-
nental powers and that at the proper
time they will appear at his back. Ex—
actly what is transpiring at Washing—
ton is being carefully guarded. the
diplomats here being still greatly at
so). not being able to do more than
venture a shrewd guess and indulge in
speculation. The interest with which
the moves on the Washington chess
board are being followed is evidenced
by the manner in which the ambas-
sadors and ministers who learned of
Ambassador Meyer's audience with
Emperor Nicholas yesterday flocked to
the American embassy today in
search of information. But the situa-
tions seems to be so delicate that the
ambassador is compelled to display
the most complete reserve. if Japan
proves moderate in her demands peace
seems at least to be close ahead. Au
armistice probably will be the first
evidence the world will have that the
two powers have agreed to shake
hands.
PARlS. June 8.—-lt is definitely
known that the Russian foreisu min-
ister. Count Lamsdorif, seconded by M.
Witte. president of the committee of
ministers. has initiated overtures
through the Russian representatives
abroad to learn Japan's disposition and
termsmf peace. These overtures, it is
said here, began three days ago and
were the basis of the decidedly more
hopeful view which the officials began
to have. At the same time it is rec-
ognised that Count Lamsdorff and M.
Witte represent the peace element and
it is not yet clear how far the move—
ment is shared by the emperor. How-
ever. Count Lamsdorff's poaition gives
the overtures the force of coming
from responsible quarters. whereas
the previous movements lacked official
origin. This clears the way for con-
versations between officials and diplo-
mats here and at other capitals which
are now actively going on. M Nell-
doff, the Russian ambassador here. has
already conferred with the French
authorities who are fully aware of the
desires of Count Lamsdorff and M.
Wine. The change of the foreign of-
fice portfolio from M. Deicasse to Pro—
mier Rouvier caused a slight delay.
but there is every indication that M.
