Between Nations. Will be Held Tomorrow Afternoon and Evening. Washington, Juno 14.—A note of pessimism is discernible In the tone of the discussion of the negotiations for peace in the far east. So far as is ascertainable at this time no permanent ground exists for tbe supposition that the negotiations are not proceeding favorably. It is realized in bolb governmental and diplomatic quarters that until the two belligerents actually are brought together on a common basis of understanding the possibility of a hitch must be taken into account. Kittery, Me., .Tune 14.—Former United States Secretary of the Treasury John G. Carlisle was ousted as president of the United States Bankers' corporations at the annual meeting of the corporation and former Governor J. CJ. A. Brackett of Massachusetts and Walter I. Badger, a Bostou lawyer, were dismissed as directors, reversing the action of a year ago. Philadelphia, June 14.—Amid cries of "Thieves!" and "Crooks!" and under the protection of police the committee on street railways of the city councils referred to the city solicitor four hills repealing ordinances granting street car companies the right to use 110 miles of streets to lay tracks without compensation to the city. The meeting was as sensational and stormy as that held by the committee on finance some weeks ago when the gas lease was under consideration. Fort Hunt, Va., June 14.—At daybreak this morning the shot-riddled hulks of what was left of Admiral Dickins' isecondary squadron, Ignomlnlously defeated In the mimie attempt to take the national capital, drifted down the Potomac. Every vessel In the lleet was "put out of action," last night by the magnificent gunnery of the artillerymen in Forts Washington and Hunt, according to the army version. TRACTION LINE SOLD.

The bazaar will open at 2 o'clock In the afternoon, and will be continued until late in the evening. The ladles of Plttston and West Pittston have been busy with preparations for the bazaar for a couple of months. They have worked hard, and the people of the community should show their appreciation of the ladies' efforts by a large attehdanee and liberal patronage. There will be booths for the sale of a great variety of articles. while there will be ample provision to meet the wants of those who desire refreshments. "The Lemon I.,ady," who has a capacious pocket, will have It well filled with prize packages to Interest those who care to patronize her. There will also be good music for the entertainment of visitors. The Leek Cornet Hand and the Touliill Family are expected to discourse sweet music. The north ward has been cleared for the use of the bazaar and there will also be tables spread on the porches of that ward. The grounds surrounding the hospital are spacious and if the weather is fine, a delightful outing will be afforded those who attend. Extra electric lamps will be used In the evening to illuminate the grounds. William McDermott, assistant yardmaster of the Lehigh Valley Railroad company, at Jersey City, died on Monday night at his home. No. G5 Wayne street, Jersey City. It transpired yesterday that illuminating gas caused his death, but it is believed that it was an accident. Mr. McDermott went to sleep on the sofa. When his wife awoke on Sunday morning she detected the odor of the gas, and, going tCi the basement found the tubing had been disconnected from the gas stove. Mr. McDermott was unconscious. He was 38 years old. He leaves a wife and one son. The only damage done to the forts by the lire of the lleet was a window pane cracked in the commandant's house. The report from the naval side of the engagement is not yet available. Among members of the diplomatic corps tlie formal response 'of the Kussiiin government to the president's appeal for a cessation of hostilities was received with keen Interest. It was made the subject of a conference at the White House between the president and Minister Takahira. The details of the conference were not disclosed, but Minister Takahira intimated strongly that the negotiations were proceeding smoothly. The repealers were Introduced nt the Instance of Mayor Weaver, and the action of the committee Is tlie first setback the mayor has received. Another sensation was the arrest of Frank H. Caven, select councilman from tile Thirty-fourth ward, on the charge of violating his oath as councilman by being interested in city contracts. He was hdld In $10,000 bail. He denies the charge. One million dollars, the upset price, is the amount to be paid. One hundred thousand dollars was paid as part of the purchase money. No other bids were received. The engagement opened last night at 11 o'clock, when the searchlights of the forts picked up four monitors, two cruisers and four torpedo boats. It took only 25 minutes work with the eight and live-Inch guns to quiet the fire of the navy. Kvery vessel was crippled before It got opposite the forts. In the heated meeting Messrs. Carlisle, Brackett and Badger were censured for accepting salaries and not returning subscriptions to stockholders when the amount subscribed was not sufficient to begin business. Mr. Hnrrlty said after the sale that when the main and Slatington lines are sold capital is ready to improve the entire system. Mr. Harrity said: "A new power house and ear barns will be erected. As to who will be the president of the reorganized road I am unable to say." Fight Over Franchises. In other diplomatic quarters it was suggested that possibly a too optimistic view of the situation generally was being taken, 'i'hjs idea, coupled with a call of M. Jusserand, the French ambassador, at the White House last night led to the rumor, extensively circulated, that something akin to a hitch in the pence proceedings actually had occurred. Dissatisfied stockholders, led by L. Trevor Lewis of New York, got control of the meeting after a tight of nearly five hours by establishing a precedent in not recognizing bonus stock proxies held by W. II. Drury, representing Walter I. Badger and Thomas D. Taylor, which gave stock control to the Lewis combination. The Brackett combination threatens to take the matter into court, declaring the action 011 proxies illegal. Five Hour Fight. The fight over the franchises promises to be warm. It Is a contest between the mayor and citizens living in the territory through which the proposed new lines are to run. on the one hand, and the Philadelphia Itiipid Transit company, backed by the Republican organization, on the other. HERE ON PEACE MISSION The only thing that the army officers will admit was well done by the navy, was Its operation of search lights. They are reluctantly forced to confess that the navy picked up the forts easily and quickly. TROSSOLINI IS FOUND President Mitchell's Daclaration at Edwardsville. After the engagement the ships hovered In the oiling until sunrise, when they started down stream, supposedly for further operations against Fort Monroe. Headway Being Made in Recently four subsidiary concerns of the Philadelphia Hapid Transit company seeimfl ordinances giving them the right to lay tracks on lit) mile.', of streets without compensation to the city. Mayor Weaver vetoed the ordinances, and the day the gas lease was passed the four bills were passed over the mayor's veto. When the councils withdrew the gas lease, ordinances were Introduced repealing the street railway ordinances. Murder Mystery. Jusserand Sent For. National President's Address to Mine How's Tills? Ambassador Jusserand returned last night from West Point, where he went to deliver an address. At Ills embassy he found n note from President Roosevelt requesting him to call at the White House. He reached the president's home at 0:irD p. m. and remained with the president until a late hour.

Cheney for the last 15 years, and believe him perfectly honorable In all business transactions and financially able to carry out any obligations made by his firm. Vicinity—Trossllhii Will Prove Complete President John Mitchell made some important declarations in his speech at the Edwardsville meeting, yesterday afternoon. About 4,0U0 were present, and great enthusiasm prevailed.After the conference he said it would be discourteous to the president for him to discuss for publication the nature of Ills interview. Asked the direct question whether a hitch had occurred in the peace negotiations, he replied frankly that he had heard of none, adding that the question of peace was not the principal subject of consideration at the conference. Alibi, The prospectus stated that forty such banks were to be bought in as many cities and the corporation was to retain a majority of the stock in each one. It was further set forth that the interests of these banks would be well represented by such lawyers as John (J. Carlisle, J. Q. A. Brackett aud Walter I. Badger of the board of finance. Agnozlo Trossollnl, the foreigner who cante to this city with Frank Ouilarl, whose murdered and headless body was found in Cork Lane two weeks ago, is now in Wilkesbarre, having been brought to that city early this morning by Deputy Sheriff Vincent J. Masi. The county officials had beon Cor Trossoliul for several days past. Select Councilman Thomas J. Ityan, the only Democratic member, suggested that the bills be sent to the city solicitor, as the ordinances had been passed and the street car companies had been vested with the right to use the streets. His suggestion was received with a storm of hisses. Turning to the crowd, Mr. Ityan shook his fist and said; WALDING, KINNAN & MARVIN, Wholesale Druggists, Toledo, O, After traveling over some of the ground covered in his former speeches, Mr. Mitchell emphatically stuted that he was not in the anthracite region for the purpose of creating a strike, but had come as a man of peace, and Invited the newspapers to assist him in dispelling the notion that his mission was to bring about discord next April.

Direct communication between St. Petersburg and Tokyo has not yet been established. The White House is yet the medium for ail communications between the two capitals. Important details remain to be agreed upon before the plenipotentiaries of the belligerents can meet to discuss means of ending the war. Progress is being made, but it may be several days or even longer before all details for the meeting can be definitely fixed. Trossolini was found last night in the freight yard of the New York Central railroad, in Rochester, by Deputy Mast, who had been working in that vicinity since last Saturday evening. Masi was sent to Rochester for the purpose of looking up the case from that end and to try and locate some of the persons who were suspected of having knowledge of the crime.

If you have come here to browbeat me 1 can browbeat back, and I can even vote against you." He urged the necessity of strengthening the union by that time, for the reason that If there were only 60,000 members It was not probable that the operators would recognize them, whereas If the union was 100,- 000 strong it was more probable that the eight-hour day could be won.

A mile below, Monoconock Island rises from its surface, crowned with trees that have withstood a thousand Hoods— an ideal spot around which to weave a romance like "Mary Derwent." And may not this point that rises so steep- The news that Masi had found Trossolini was learned early this morning, Mien the following telegram was received from Rochester: He discussed an improvement in the operation of the conciliation board. It was a new body and it was to be expected, that although it had done considerable good, there were some criticisms of it. The defects could best be remedied by a conference between a committee of the miners and the operators to devise some method whereby the plan of conciliation could be improved. A diplomat explained the situation when he said certain optimists had succeeded in getting ahead of the actual status quo of the negotiations. "These optimists," he added, "naturally become alarmed when they find that the negotiators are not keeping pace with their predictions, and straightway they announce a hitch in the negotiations." 4 9 % 173% 41 % 40 % 1 60 % r.o 174% 42% 41 160 % "Deputy Sheriff Mast, of Duzerne county, started for Wilkesbarre, l'a., this morning with Trossolini, who is charged with the murder of Frank Cullari, a former resident of this city, who was murdered at Pittston, l'a.. on June 5.

Japan Is naturally cautious, although she. too, has accepted tin? president's offer of good will and agreed to appoint plenipotentiaries. The negotiations have progressed far enough for the belligerents to be discussing through the president as the channel of communication a suitable place, the number of the negotiators and, what Is more important than either of these, a common basis upon which the plenipotentiaries may meet. Hut fiction and poetry aside, the scene Is historic. Across the gleaming surface of the river is the spot where began the battle of July 3, 1778.

Russia seems thoroughly opposed to the suggestion of any place in the far east for a meeting point, and it Is not believed that Japan's opposition to Paris was at all unexpected in St. Petersburg. Russia has shown strong preference for a European cupital. Japan's wish Is to secure a point free from outside influences. Direct negotiations with Russia has been her demand throughout and hence her original preference for a point in the far east. The Hague, it is believed, would prove fairly acceptable to both. arc made FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. The finding of Trossolin simplifies the case somewhat, as It eliminates him from the list of those who are suspected of having boon implicated In the murder. What Information he gave the authorities of Cullari Is not known. A renewed effort will be made to locate the wife of the dead man and the man with whom It Is said she eloped. The county detective said this morning that a search is being made for two Italians who left this city in a great hurry the morning the dead body was found. They departed from the Junction station of the Lehigh Valley and seemed much agitated. It is expected that they will be caught in a short time.

Between Nations. Will be Held Tomorrow Afternoon and Evening. Washington, Juno 14.—A note of pessimism is discernible In the tone of the discussion of the negotiations for peace in the far east. So far as is ascertainable at this time no permanent ground exists for tbe supposition that the negotiations are not proceeding favorably. It is realized in bolb governmental and diplomatic quarters that until the two belligerents actually are brought together on a common basis of understanding the possibility of a hitch must be taken into account. Kittery, Me., .Tune 14.—Former United States Secretary of the Treasury John G. Carlisle was ousted as president of the United States Bankers' corporations at the annual meeting of the corporation and former Governor J. CJ. A. Brackett of Massachusetts and Walter I. Badger, a Bostou lawyer, were dismissed as directors, reversing the action of a year ago. Philadelphia, June 14.—Amid cries of "Thieves!" and "Crooks!" and under the protection of police the committee on street railways of the city councils referred to the city solicitor four hills repealing ordinances granting street car companies the right to use 110 miles of streets to lay tracks without compensation to the city. The meeting was as sensational and stormy as that held by the committee on finance some weeks ago when the gas lease was under consideration. Fort Hunt, Va., June 14.—At daybreak this morning the shot-riddled hulks of what was left of Admiral Dickins' isecondary squadron, Ignomlnlously defeated In the mimie attempt to take the national capital, drifted down the Potomac. Every vessel In the lleet was "put out of action," last night by the magnificent gunnery of the artillerymen in Forts Washington and Hunt, according to the army version. TRACTION LINE SOLD.

The bazaar will open at 2 o'clock In the afternoon, and will be continued until late in the evening. The ladles of Plttston and West Pittston have been busy with preparations for the bazaar for a couple of months. They have worked hard, and the people of the community should show their appreciation of the ladies' efforts by a large attehdanee and liberal patronage. There will be booths for the sale of a great variety of articles. while there will be ample provision to meet the wants of those who desire refreshments. "The Lemon I.,ady," who has a capacious pocket, will have It well filled with prize packages to Interest those who care to patronize her. There will also be good music for the entertainment of visitors. The Leek Cornet Hand and the Touliill Family are expected to discourse sweet music. The north ward has been cleared for the use of the bazaar and there will also be tables spread on the porches of that ward. The grounds surrounding the hospital are spacious and if the weather is fine, a delightful outing will be afforded those who attend. Extra electric lamps will be used In the evening to illuminate the grounds. William McDermott, assistant yardmaster of the Lehigh Valley Railroad company, at Jersey City, died on Monday night at his home. No. G5 Wayne street, Jersey City. It transpired yesterday that illuminating gas caused his death, but it is believed that it was an accident. Mr. McDermott went to sleep on the sofa. When his wife awoke on Sunday morning she detected the odor of the gas, and, going tCi the basement found the tubing had been disconnected from the gas stove. Mr. McDermott was unconscious. He was 38 years old. He leaves a wife and one son. The only damage done to the forts by the lire of the lleet was a window pane cracked in the commandant's house. The report from the naval side of the engagement is not yet available. Among members of the diplomatic corps tlie formal response 'of the Kussiiin government to the president's appeal for a cessation of hostilities was received with keen Interest. It was made the subject of a conference at the White House between the president and Minister Takahira. The details of the conference were not disclosed, but Minister Takahira intimated strongly that the negotiations were proceeding smoothly. The repealers were Introduced nt the Instance of Mayor Weaver, and the action of the committee Is tlie first setback the mayor has received. Another sensation was the arrest of Frank H. Caven, select councilman from tile Thirty-fourth ward, on the charge of violating his oath as councilman by being interested in city contracts. He was hdld In $10,000 bail. He denies the charge. One million dollars, the upset price, is the amount to be paid. One hundred thousand dollars was paid as part of the purchase money. No other bids were received. The engagement opened last night at 11 o'clock, when the searchlights of the forts picked up four monitors, two cruisers and four torpedo boats. It took only 25 minutes work with the eight and live-Inch guns to quiet the fire of the navy. Kvery vessel was crippled before It got opposite the forts. In the heated meeting Messrs. Carlisle, Brackett and Badger were censured for accepting salaries and not returning subscriptions to stockholders when the amount subscribed was not sufficient to begin business. Mr. Hnrrlty said after the sale that when the main and Slatington lines are sold capital is ready to improve the entire system. Mr. Harrity said: "A new power house and ear barns will be erected. As to who will be the president of the reorganized road I am unable to say." Fight Over Franchises. In other diplomatic quarters it was suggested that possibly a too optimistic view of the situation generally was being taken, 'i'hjs idea, coupled with a call of M. Jusserand, the French ambassador, at the White House last night led to the rumor, extensively circulated, that something akin to a hitch in the pence proceedings actually had occurred. Dissatisfied stockholders, led by L. Trevor Lewis of New York, got control of the meeting after a tight of nearly five hours by establishing a precedent in not recognizing bonus stock proxies held by W. II. Drury, representing Walter I. Badger and Thomas D. Taylor, which gave stock control to the Lewis combination. The Brackett combination threatens to take the matter into court, declaring the action 011 proxies illegal. Five Hour Fight. The fight over the franchises promises to be warm. It Is a contest between the mayor and citizens living in the territory through which the proposed new lines are to run. on the one hand, and the Philadelphia Itiipid Transit company, backed by the Republican organization, on the other. HERE ON PEACE MISSION The only thing that the army officers will admit was well done by the navy, was Its operation of search lights. They are reluctantly forced to confess that the navy picked up the forts easily and quickly. TROSSOLINI IS FOUND President Mitchell's Daclaration at Edwardsville. After the engagement the ships hovered In the oiling until sunrise, when they started down stream, supposedly for further operations against Fort Monroe. Headway Being Made in Recently four subsidiary concerns of the Philadelphia Hapid Transit company seeimfl ordinances giving them the right to lay tracks on lit) mile.', of streets without compensation to the city. Mayor Weaver vetoed the ordinances, and the day the gas lease was passed the four bills were passed over the mayor's veto. When the councils withdrew the gas lease, ordinances were Introduced repealing the street railway ordinances. Murder Mystery. Jusserand Sent For. National President's Address to Mine How's Tills? Ambassador Jusserand returned last night from West Point, where he went to deliver an address. At Ills embassy he found n note from President Roosevelt requesting him to call at the White House. He reached the president's home at 0:irD p. m. and remained with the president until a late hour.

Vicinity—Trossllhii Will Prove Complete President John Mitchell made some important declarations in his speech at the Edwardsville meeting, yesterday afternoon. About 4,0U0 were present, and great enthusiasm prevailed.After the conference he said it would be discourteous to the president for him to discuss for publication the nature of Ills interview. Asked the direct question whether a hitch had occurred in the peace negotiations, he replied frankly that he had heard of none, adding that the question of peace was not the principal subject of consideration at the conference. Alibi, The prospectus stated that forty such banks were to be bought in as many cities and the corporation was to retain a majority of the stock in each one. It was further set forth that the interests of these banks would be well represented by such lawyers as John (J. Carlisle, J. Q. A. Brackett aud Walter I. Badger of the board of finance. Agnozlo Trossollnl, the foreigner who cante to this city with Frank Ouilarl, whose murdered and headless body was found in Cork Lane two weeks ago, is now in Wilkesbarre, having been brought to that city early this morning by Deputy Sheriff Vincent J. Masi. The county officials had beon Cor Trossoliul for several days past. Select Councilman Thomas J. Ityan, the only Democratic member, suggested that the bills be sent to the city solicitor, as the ordinances had been passed and the street car companies had been vested with the right to use the streets. His suggestion was received with a storm of hisses. Turning to the crowd, Mr. Ityan shook his fist and said; WALDING, KINNAN & MARVIN, Wholesale Druggists, Toledo, O, After traveling over some of the ground covered in his former speeches, Mr. Mitchell emphatically stuted that he was not in the anthracite region for the purpose of creating a strike, but had come as a man of peace, and Invited the newspapers to assist him in dispelling the notion that his mission was to bring about discord next April.

Direct communication between St. Petersburg and Tokyo has not yet been established. The White House is yet the medium for ail communications between the two capitals. Important details remain to be agreed upon before the plenipotentiaries of the belligerents can meet to discuss means of ending the war. Progress is being made, but it may be several days or even longer before all details for the meeting can be definitely fixed. Trossolini was found last night in the freight yard of the New York Central railroad, in Rochester, by Deputy Mast, who had been working in that vicinity since last Saturday evening. Masi was sent to Rochester for the purpose of looking up the case from that end and to try and locate some of the persons who were suspected of having knowledge of the crime.

He urged the necessity of strengthening the union by that time, for the reason that If there were only 60,000 members It was not probable that the operators would recognize them, whereas If the union was 100,- 000 strong it was more probable that the eight-hour day could be won.

And may not this point that rises so steep- The news that Masi had found Trossolini was learned early this morning, Mien the following telegram was received from Rochester: He discussed an improvement in the operation of the conciliation board. It was a new body and it was to be expected, that although it had done considerable good, there were some criticisms of it. The defects could best be remedied by a conference between a committee of the miners and the operators to devise some method whereby the plan of conciliation could be improved. A diplomat explained the situation when he said certain optimists had succeeded in getting ahead of the actual status quo of the negotiations.

Japan Is naturally cautious, although she. too, has accepted tin? president's offer of good will and agreed to appoint plenipotentiaries. The negotiations have progressed far enough for the belligerents to be discussing through the president as the channel of communication a suitable place, the number of the negotiators and, what Is more important than either of these, a common basis upon which the plenipotentiaries may meet. Hut fiction and poetry aside, the scene Is historic. Across the gleaming surface of the river is the spot where began the battle of July 3, 1778.

Russia seems thoroughly opposed to the suggestion of any place in the far east for a meeting point, and it Is not believed that Japan's opposition to Paris was at all unexpected in St. Petersburg. Russia has shown strong preference for a European cupital. Japan's wish Is to secure a point free from outside influences. Direct negotiations with Russia has been her demand throughout and hence her original preference for a point in the far east. The Hague, it is believed, would prove fairly acceptable to both. arc made FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. The finding of Trossolin simplifies the case somewhat, as It eliminates him from the list of those who are suspected of having boon implicated In the murder. What Information he gave the authorities of Cullari Is not known. A renewed effort will be made to locate the wife of the dead man and the man with whom It Is said she eloped. The county detective said this morning that a search is being made for two Italians who left this city in a great hurry the morning the dead body was found.
