Office Intimates that Count Lajnsdorff
Minister of Foreign Affaire has communi-
cated to Mr Meyer the American Ambassa-
dor Russias acceptance in principle ofthe invitation of President Roosevelt toopen direct negotiations for peace withJapan x
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

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
