Office Intimates that Count Lajnsdorff

Minister of Foreign Affaire has communi-

The Foreign Office adds that it nut bedistinctly understoodthat her representa-

tives will be In nofsense plenlpote ntiariesbut will confine themselves to hearingJapans proposals and communicating them-

to the Russian Government which will

then decide whether they constitute a basis-

on which it can negotiate-

It is understood that M Witte president-

of the Ministerial Council offered himself

as a member of a plenipotentiary mission

but on account of the foregoing he was

Informed that there wes no occasion to

utilize his services

prospect are almost destroyed Inopinion by the terms of Russias-

tocalled acoeptacce of President Roose1-velta invitation It Is a matter of almostcommon knowledge In diplomatic circlesthat Japan will not consent to name herterms until Russia signifies a sincere desireto negotiate-

It is not believed that Japan will agreeto send messengers to meet Russian mes-

sengers who will be distinctly withoutpowers to negotiate Least of all wouldJapan consent to grant an armistice undereuch conditions

There is little confidence in diplomaticquarters in the Czars desire for peaceStill less is there any belief that he wouldaccept even moderate Japanese demands-In the present circumstances it will requirethe greatest tact and skill to bring about-an actual meeting of representatives ofboth belligerents

Should this be accomplished difficultieswould continue In the Initial stage but thepressure of the unanimous opinion ofChristendom might then avail to prevent aman of the Czars temperament from re-

jecting peacs when it was within reach

p rb of the minority stockholders of theEquitable to the actualization of the so-ciety aa planned by the Ryan polloyholdersgroup which bought 501 shares of JamesHaren Hydes holdings in the societyWhile definite has been announced-It that somemight be taken if Justice

In the Franklin B Lord suit Is cuetained on appeal

Any such action would be based on theground that the election of the twentyeight of the fiftytwo directors by thestock trustees would be a violation of thestockholders rights Persons speakingfor Mr Hyde said that they hadof such action but that neithernor the policyholders composing the pur-chasing syndicate were at all concernedover it

between them and Mr HydeSeveral more of the Equitables general

and managers arrived in town yesand joined the force which has been

hanging around tbe Equitable Building fortwo or three days trying to find out whatis going to be done for them In theof advances The agents It wasyesterday are rallying around Gage ETarbell and intend to make a stand to havehim retained at the head of the depart-ment They are going to hold atoday or tomorrow andasking for the retention Tnrbell

Tbe agents It was said yesterday maygo so far as to declare that they wouldresign if Mr Tarbell was sacrificed Persons who have been opposed to Tarbellall through the Equitable controversydeclared last night that Mr Tarbell wasbehind this movement on the part of theagents

MAY FOR RECOGNITION

When Norway Make the neqnrstGovernment Will Act

WASHINGTON June 11

that the United States Government willsoon be asked to recognize Norway an

The announcement from Christhat the Foreign Office of Norway

would be established and opened by June15 Is indicative that the time when theUnited States will have to decide Is rapidlyapproaching No Intimation of a desirefor recognition has reached the State De-

partment but when it cornea action willpromptly If President Roosevelt

should receive a diplomatic representative-of Norway it would constitute the recognition of that country as an Independentnation-

It is not unlikely that this Government-will agree to a request for recognitionFirst however there must he absoluteassurances that the new Government Is

stable and well established Whether ornot King Oscar recognizes Norway willmake no difference to this GovernmentIt is thought here that anumber of Europeannations will refuse to receive diplomaticrepresentatives from the newlyGovernment on account of theKing Oscar to their royal families
