1 THE CITY. PEACE III THE OB also demanded the acceptance of his demission. In spite of the popular Interpretation, however, that Trepoff 's appointment means repression and reaction to the bitter end, the latter conclusion by no means follows. Indeed, among the contradictory rumors which are current, one is to the effect that the issue of the ukase will be coupled with the immediate calling of a zemsky sobor.

Washington, June 6. Peace in the far East was the subject at night of another conference at the White House between the president and Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minister. It was the third conference of the day which the president had had on this eubject, Mr. Jusserand, the French ambassador, and Mr.

O'Bierne, the British charge d'affaires, having callers at the White House in the morning. Thus far the minister has not been able to tell the president except in the most general and unofficial way what Japan is likely to demand of Russia When the latter can be brought to discuss peace. Even the minister himself has no Idea what Japan's indemnity may amount to. The president was unable to give Mr. Takahira any Intimation of how Russia has viewed the annihilation of her fleet and until Count Cassini's report of his visit to the White House has been replied to from St.

Petersburg no further progress toward peace can be made in that direction. Whatever may be the result of the Important conference the president had with Count Cassini, the exchanges between Washington and the European capitals are gradually bringing about a thorough understanding among the neutral powers which will enable them to present a united front when peace negotiations do begin. European ad-Vices received here indicate that the neutral powers are Inclined to share the president's aversion to an international conference and that they are inclined to the belief that all interests can best be served by direct negotiations between the belligerents. The president, it Is believed, will endeavor to keep Japan's peace terms within reasonable bounds and the close relations of Emperor William to the czar, it is suggested, will enable the German sovereign to advise the czar iWith a frankness that even Washington could not assume. Mr.

Takahira said at nieht that Tokio is always for peace, but," he added significantly, "Russia must first realize the present situation In all its' seriousness and be prepared to face it." UKASE OF THE CZAR CREATING TREPOFF DICTATOR -CAUSES A MIGHTY SENSA- TION IN RUSSIA. St. Petersburg, June 6. Emperor Nicholas' ukase virtually creating dovernor Trepoff dictator, has given xlse to a mighty sensation. It is the imperial recognition of the crisis in the internal affairs of Russia and Instinctively recalls the step taken by the emperor's grandfather, Alexander immediately after the attempt to blow up the winter palace in 1880, "when he appointed a commission of public safety headed by General Loris-Melikoff, except that the position of General Trepoff will be more analogous to that occupied by Loris-Melikoff when later in the same year lie was appointed minister of the interior with full control of the police.

"Reaction and repression" doubtless will be the quick interpretation put upon the emperor's act as soon as it becomes known to the Liberals. Buried in the columns of the Official Messenger, and coming almost without warning, the ukase is not as yet generally known, but to the initiated the future of Constantine Petrovitch Pobiedonostseff, chief procurator of the holy synod, looms large. Behind the scenes the old man remains as stern and as uncompromising as ever. He left what many believe to be his dying, bed last Thursday and went to Tsarskoe Selo, where he spent almost the entire day with his majesty. The decision to place in the hands of the strongest executive in Russia, which Trepoff is universally recognized as being, the power to crush with iron hand the political agitation which has brought Russia almost to the brink of revolution, according to public belief, is the fruit -of Pobiedonostseff visit, for so far as can be ascertained not a single one of the emperor's ministers was in the secret.

Like a Bolt From a Clear Sky. The ukase came like a bolt from a clear sky. M. Bouligan. minister of "the interior, could not face the humiliation and immediately resigned and it is not improbable that other ministers will follow suit.

It is rumored in the city that Count Lams-dorff, the foreign minister, has already placed his resignation in the "hands of the emperor and that he will be succeeded by M. Muravieff, former minister of justice and now ambassador at Rome. Admiral Alexieff has doubtedly was precipitated by the Russian disaster in the Sea of Japan, as Liberals and Radicals everywhere were preparing to make the best possible use of it in furthering their wishes. The government also was threatened with peace demonstrations, the first of which was to be a big meeting of zemstvoists and Damaists at Moscow Tuesday, which General Trepoff as his first act prohibited. On the surface of things, therefore, It looks cminously like the placing of Trepoff at the helm to deal with the Internal crisis which the determination to pursue the war is apt to cause.

It is dangerous to forecast the result of the change in the situation. As long as there was vent for escaping steam in congresses and assemblies, pressure did not accumulate, but with the extra weight on the safety valve and with the fires of internal agitation burning hotly, there may be an explosion. ADVEiNT OF A REVOLUTION. Hailed by the Union of Russian Journalists. St.

Petersburg, June 6. The union of Russian journalists during the day chartered a steamer and cruised in the Neva for six hours so as to hold a meeting free from police interference.

Labor leaders are negotiating for the purpose of declaring a general strike next Saturday. REPAIRING HIS SHIPS BUT ADMIRAL ENQUIST MUST DEPART FROM MANILA OR DISARM HIS VESSELS.

Manila, June 6.

WILL CONTINUE THE WAR. Belief Firm in England That Russia Is Not Ready to Quit. London, June 6. Accounts of President Roosevelt's interviews with Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minister at Washington, Count Cassini, Baron Speck von Sternberg and other ambassadors, which are alleged to have been along the line of efforts to bring mediation, are receiving much attention here, but in diplomatic circles it is not.

believed that they will result in securing peace. The belief is firm in all quarters that Russia will continue the war. Peace reports come from Paris, Berlin and St. Petersburg as well as from Washington, but not a single definite indication of peace or even of intervention can be obtained. At the Russian embassy it is declared that the war will be continued, and at the Japanese embassy-it is said there is no expectation of a peace offer, while the foreign office states that it does not know of any movement toward peace.

As far as can be ascertained, the British government has made no attempt to bring about intervention, though it undoubtedly is acquainted with the terms Japan will accept and is in a position to take up negotiations with France, Russia's ally, immediately it is understood that such a movement will not meet with a rebuff.
