' ‘ S'IlmPETIRSBURG. June 14, 12:42 p. m.——The Slovo this morning pub- lished, a remarkably sensational in- terview. filled with the gloomiest forc- bodlfigs. with M. Witte, president of the committee of ministers. The. Rus- sian statesman‘s name is not mention- ed, but the veil of his identity can be pierced by the veriest tyro. lie evidently spoke with the profound conviction that the affairs of state are going from bad to worse and under personal irritation produced by the intrigues which compel him to sit idle during the present crisis. Every word was black with, pessimism. The states man makes it clear that Foreign Min. ister Lamsdorff for one opposes his having anything to do with the peace negotiations. Asked concerning the. rcport that he is going abroad charged with a mis- sion in regard to the negotiations for peace, M. Witie replied, his words being given literally. as they contain much hidden meaning: “No. l certainly will no go on such a mission, for three reasous. The lost. of them is that I shall do everything Even if the rumor of Lamsdorff‘s resignation is true, which I insist is not the case. the main sil- nation would not be changed and the first and third'rcasons would hold for me. “Nothing that Russia has grille through is surprising i gave warn- ing in due time that only the match- wood‘ of Rojestvcnsky's squadron would reach Vladivostok. in a word. I justly earned the designation of a creaking raven. I do not see that af- fairs have yet taken a turn, which makes my services desirable. i will say morc~evcn now I cannot observe a definite desire to'chnngc the direc- tion of the current. The bed of the (in-rushing stream remains the same. Only the obstacles in its path grow more humorous and foaming rapids indicate the danger points. "As for peace. Japan will not oven be willing to discuss a basis which would not insure peace for at. least fifty years. Her conditions doubtless have also considerably increased. She will of course agree to open negotia- lonsfon her own soil without media- tors with a person whom Russia will clothe with special powers. Hcrcin lie the real source of the rumors or- iginating in the Berlin and London cabinets about my trip. Yes there is truth in what you say, but you see a different estimate is put on men abroad. People there are better in~ formed and appreciate more clearly the conditions prevailing in Russia than'vlc do here. Russia could pro— long the war for five years in the hope of coming out victorious were it not for the events in the interior to which they are closing their eyes and stopping their ears and trying to know nothing about. x x is Here lies the horror of the present situa- tion in Russian.

Japan will refuse to have the meeting take place in Paris, because it Is the capital of Russia‘s ally and also on account of the great distance frtim Japan and the delay involved. it is expected that Japan will propose that the plenipotentlaries meet at some point close to the theatre of war.

It Is apparently awaiting action at and advices from Washington and St. Pcl~ ersburg. The newspapers and public continue a, spirited discussion of the situation, devoting themselves largely to. a probable armistice and terms of peace. The newspapers continue to be flatly opposed to an early armis- tice, which would deprive the army and navy of the advantages williln their grasp. It is generally thought that Field Marshal ()yama's plans are rapidly maturing and that the next great drive will sweep General Line- vltch back and carry tbc Japanese ar- my info Russian territory. The faith and ultimate Intentions of Russia to- ward peace are opcnly and generally questioned. The iapancsc govcrnmcnl is possibly satisfied with the good faith and intentions of Russia. but its silence leaves the public doubtful. The Japanese public would welcome peace, but it demands terms consistent with victory and assuring a permanent pi‘IH't‘. NAtlASAKI.

WASHINGTON. June 14.—-Rnssia‘s formal response to President Roose- velt's appeal to the Far Eastern bei- ligcrcnts for a cessation of hoatilitlcs has been communicated to the Table government by the president. The note written by (.‘ount imitatlorff by direction of Emperor Nicholas, and handed by the minister of foreign af— fairs io Ambassador Meyer. at tit. Pctersburg. was placed, in turn. in the bands of Minister Takahlra by the president and transmitted by Mr. Ta- kaliira to 'l‘oklo. The president is in hourly expectation that a response may be received from the Japanese government. Doubt is expressed in important quarters whether the Russian response is satisfactory to Japan. The govern- ment of the island empire is wary of Russia and has indicated llu inton- lion of not sacrificing its dearly bought victories at arms in the con- flict of diplomacy which ls'uow being waged. Minister ’l‘ukuhlra Iu inclin- cd to look askanco at. that part of the Russian note which reads: "As for an eventual minding of Russian and Japanese plculpoteniiurlcs charged with ascertaining how far it would he inaudible for the two powers to elaborate conditions of peace, the lm~ pcrlal government would ham no ob- it-ction in principle to such an at— ltilrlpt If the Japanese itovarnment as. pressed a desire therefor.” . Japan has indicated plainly that If there is a conference between its plsnlpotenllaries and those of lim- sia. it must he held with a definite use derstandiug that a sincere effort to reach a numerical peace agreement is ; , hubs made. .iilie is willing to talk plumes! with Russian negotiators em- : Went! is do likewise; but. or does ,pot propose, to permit any unusual “rings to l} attached to the Russian “Morena rings which may be pull~ all to her ultimate disadvantage.

Md, today, and ,remaln there for several days. The ambassador does not look for any serious hitch prior to the meeting, at the plenlpotentluries. An interesting sidellght upon the negotiations for peace Is the satreme reserve evinced by all having to do with them. Sources of now which hitherto have been unfailing. now are closed to the inquiring inewspape. men. As an instance'of the cloaking of all the negotiations with secrecy a newspaper man, noticing a carriage standing in front of the White House inquired of a subordinate if the Jap- anese minister was in conference with the president. fl‘he subordinate dc clined to answer, explaining that u. had received explicit orders not it furnish to anybody information hear- ing upon the peace situation. Suspect- ing the identity of the caller, tht newspaper man waited until be smart; ed from the White House. it was Minister Takahira.

WASHINGTON. June 1~i.——Coun. Cassiui. the Russian ambassador, call ed at the Willie House at 11:30 a. in today for a conference by appoint meal and was received by the presi dent in the blue room. . The ambassador remained In con- forence with the president for fifty minutes. At the conclusion of his in- terview Count Cassini said. in responst to inquiries, that he could not discuss the nature of his conference with the president. Asked if there were any in dications of a bitch in the peace nego tintions, the ambassador replied that there were. not. He added that thin- far no decision had been reached as to the place or time of holding the pcact conference. He said that he could not mention properly lilo locations undo) consideration, but indicated plainly that. so far as he was aware the nego tinlions were proceeding smoothly. The ambassador drove. from tht White House to the French embassy. LEGISLATURE IN SESSION. Special Tax Bill the Order of the Day in the Senate. HARTFORD.

The special order of business in the senate was the personal in) bill passed by the house last week. After an extended debate it was re levied by a vote of 20 to 12. The following pressures were passer from the house calendar: Bill unlend log out establishing a court withil the town of Southington, providing i salary for assistant judge of the mum of 82.50 per day; resolution amcndim the charter of the Bridgeport l’rotesl ant Widows' Society; resolution rais ing a commission to be appointed by the governor to Investigate and re port on a uniform systcm of munlci pal charters. the commission to sew without compensation; bill amondini an act concerning the board of exam lners of harbors; bill concerning tin uploading and transportation of fer lilizers: resolution incorporating tlu .Iolln Winthrop Trust Company. or Ncw London; bill providing penalty for the giving of immoral shows at or near agricultural fairs: bill pro- vidlng that appeals may be taken from Justices of the police and city and borough courts in criminal cases. The bill increasing the Mlltrlen 0! Judicial ohlcers, which provides 36.501 annually for the chief justice of thi supreme court and $6,000 anniinlly for the associate Judges of tho supremt and superior courts. caused something of a debate before it was finally pass- cd by a large majority. llouac Chair- man Kenoaly, of the judiciary com mlltcr, in urging the passage of the bill. explained that divergent opinion existed nmoug the ablsst lawyers in the state an to whether the genera assembly bud lho right to lines it. It had been decided in Pennsylvania. a slate whose constitution was prac- tically the souls as that of CORIlEOII' cut. that the rmlrlctlons coverin lhi increase of salaries of state 0 club did not apply to judicial officers. The judiciary committed believed that the salami assembly had the right to court the law. Representative iiouthwfck, of Corn~ wall, said that inasmuch rut opinion was divided on the matter be consid- crfd it a good reason for opposing the hi i. Representative Foodick. of Lyme. suggested that if doubt existed it would be well not to pass the lull. Representative Atwood, of Water- towo, spoke in a similar voin.‘ Representative Aleorn. of outfield. contended that the bill was eminent, iy primer inasmuch as the general as- somhly two years ago had gone on word in the some matter and is- creued the salaries of Judges to take effect on their assumption of odico.

Representative Banks, of Falrtleld. said he favored a fairly liberal policy in the matter of Savings banks in- vestments. The bonds had the moral support of the Consolidated Railroad and. no one had ever been known to lose any money inlinvesting in New Haven securities. The bonds, he do- clared, were as safe as the Bank of England. . Representative. Warner, of Wood-_ bridge, said that he had been ap-‘ proached by members of the banks committee and; requestedmot to vote for the bill. This he considered a car. ions situation .in View of the chair- man’s statement that the committee report had been unanimous. Representathe Miller, of Hunting- ton, another members of the commit)- tee, declared the report was unani- no“. and as the president of a sav- age bank he considered the bonds a tool investment. Representative Kenealy stated that sure was a disposition on part of holders of bonds that are new legal investments, to exclude all the other bonds. If the house believed that the bonds under discussion. were safe, it should not be misled by some fel- low in Wall street who wanted his line of securities to be the only one in which savings banks might nvcst. Representative Atwood, of Water- town characterised theblll as a deep- ly laid scheme to boom the bonds 0f i Representative Clark, of Derby, said that there was nothing in the bill to compel savings banks to purchase the bonds and he believed that it ought to pass. The bill was then adopted by a large majority, ..__ TUFTB COLLEGE DEGREES. Partial List of Honor; to he Conferred Next Wednesday.
