It is so small it can be easily raised from the water on board the deck of a battle- ship or put on a railway truck and con- veyed from one port to another. Fol- Mystery About it, but Small Enough to be Carried on Warship. V lowing are its principal dimensions: Length 34 feet, diameter 0 feet 9 inches, displacement when submerged 17 tons. Electricity is the sole motive power, the use of petroleum being entirely discard- ed and the boat when submerged will have a speed of 8 miles an hour. It is declared that as the submarine will or- dinarily be carried on board of the bat- ern world. Indeed, it has been suggested that such a payment, to all intents and purposes, might render Russia a. practi- eal hmkrupt. Thas far, the Japanese Government has refrained from indicat- ing the precise form of htr terms. _.., ' - During the yast ten days President Roosevelt has had conferences with Bar- on Kaneko, the Japanese financial agent in the United States. In him Japan re- poses implicit confidence in all matters pertaining to the fiscal policy of the em- pire. His conference with the President yesterday, there is rowan to believe, con. cerned the subject of Japan's cash de- nrands upon Rustin. Such advice as he might give to his Government would re- ceive the deepest consideration, and very likely might be followed. No decision yet has been reached ds to the place oi holding the conference. The impression is growing that Washington is likely to be the city finally selected. It is pointed out that the proposed conference is scarcely likely to be convened before the middle of Anguit, and perhaps not until a later date. It may be July 1, possibly a. little later, before the arrangements for the meeting oi the plenipotentiaries finally are completed. Both mush; and Japan are moving with tlxe'utmost deliberation, for the .game of diplomacy now being played, is of even greater importance to each Gov- ernment than are the movements of the armies on the battlefield. In view of all the conditions, it seems quite unlikely that the eminence will assemble forni- ally before the middle of August or the first of September. tween Russia and Japan is they will prove successful. This based primarily on the belief that Japan will meet Rus- sia more than half way, making unex- pectedly reasonable demands. Certain in- timations have been received here that Japan's terms are substantially as fol- lows: May Be Selected for the Peace Negotia- , tioUh . A St. Petersburg' able despatcli says? The place of meeting of the peace picni- poteniinries has not yet been determin- ed upon. The Hague as the seat of per- manent court of arbitration now appears to be the most likely city if the confer- ence occurs in Europe. Both the place and the names of the plenipotentiaries of whom there probably will be two on each side, are expected to be settled be- fore the end of the week. Ambassador Meyer saw Foreign, Minister Lamsdorfi this morning for a few minutes. He sim- ply communicated messages from Wash- ington. The negotiations continue to proceed through Washington, President Roosevelt acting as intermediary be. tween Count Cassini, (the Russian am- bassador). and M. Takahira (the Jap- anese Minister). First, the recognition of Japanese pro tootorate over Corea. Second the return of Manehuria to China. Third, international control of the h"a,ctern Chinese railroad. Fourth, regarding Port Arthur the stratogical value of this fortress has been estimated and it is said that its ultimate disposal will not give rise to any controversy.

Why Mrs. Hubbard is Bound for Labra. dor Wiliu, New York, June 10.--hirs. Leonidas Hubbard, who has gone to Labrador, has not gone there to explore new lands, but to investigate the exact conditions' under which her husband, the explorer, died in the interior of that cauntry In October oi 1903. Mrs. Hubbard believes that not everything was done that was possible to save her husband's life. This is the latest phase of Mrs. Hub- bard's strange visit into an unexplored country, and one that is practically ad.- mitted by all concerned. It is learned on indisputable authority that Mrs. Hub. bard and Dtllon Wallace, the friend and associate of her dead husband, have long been estranged, and that Mrs. Hubbard's trip was due to this. Neither Mr. Wal. lace’s friends here, nor the Hubbard es- tate managers conceal this fact. Both sides look on Mrs. Hubbard', trip as the result of a mind that knew only Mr. Hubbard as . great genius, who could not possibly have made a. mistake, and now is bent on flthoming a. some- thing which even her husband’s finned“ backers have long Mo declared to be purely r.",',',",,",',',':,), hath-ed.
