"In the character of a woman who has
but recently emerged from imminent peril
of death and who has now to begin the
battle of life with the burden of an in
dictment for murder still hanging over
her, I a*k permission for the first and

as to the general conduct of my life since
my release from, orison.
• "There is no truth In the \u25a0 stoYy that
on the night of my release during a. sup

one of the many emanating from my.
enemies in the criminal courts building.
"In pursuance of the pledge made to
my mother I have refrained and shall

ST. PETERSBURG. June 9.— Emperor
Nicholas has cabled the following mes
sage to Admiral Rojestvensky:
"From my heart I thank you and all
the officers of the squadron who have
henorably done their duty for your unsel
li?h work for Russia and for me. By the
Trill of the Almighty success was not
destined to frown ;-our endeavors, but
ycur boundless bravery will always be a
source of pride to the country. I wish
vcu a speedy recovery. May God console
you all. NICHOLAS."
The peculiar wording of the message
is attracting attention. The restriction
of the Emperor's thanks to those honor
ably doing their duty Is fanning the ugly
talk regarding the surrender of ships and
the conduct of some of the crews. The
rnetsacee of Admiral Enquist and Cap
tain* 'Chagln of the Russian cruiser ~AI
raaz did not contain any intimation of
misbehavior on the part of officers or

ST. PETERSBURG. June. 10.— The
Emperor has received a long telegram
from Rear Admiral Enquist, dated at
Manila, June 5. describing that portion
of the battle of the Sea of Japan on
May 27 which took place between Tsu
Island and Kotsu Island. He says the
conduct of his crew was above praise.
BOSTON, June 9.— A private cable to
a leading financial agency here states that
the plan of Japan for tbe settlement of
the war with Russia is to ' take formal
possession of Korea, make Manchuria a
buffer State and dismantle Port Arthur
and Vladivostok, making them open trade
ports for the world. This is the plan the
Japanese had before ever they started on
the war, and is what they "ipd in mind
when they commenced ten ylars ago to
reorganize their army and navy and turn
Russia back from the Pacific. This is
Japan's plan aside from the question of
indemnity, and it will not alter it in the
slightest degree.- It \e believed by finan
ciers that Japan can be induced to reduce
the amount of Indemnity. -

LONDON, June 9.— Much satisfaction is
expressed in official and diplomatic cir
cles here at the apparent success of
President Roosevelt in bringing Russia
and Japan together for the purpose of
ending the war. Since his arrival here
Whltelaw Reid, the American Embas
sador, has been in close arid frequent
communication with the Foreign Office.
The Embassador is not willing at the
present juncture to disclose the result of
his visits, but apparently he is well
pleased with the progress of the negotia
tions. The other embassies ' are without
any information. Russian official circles
now think that peace is probable, or at
least that a cessation of hostilities is
pending in an endeavor to bring about a
meeting of representatives of the two
powers. , '\u25a0 ' -.' '-•'-•\u25a0. \u25a0 '

London Diplomatic Circles Pleaded
BBI.IEVR PEACE IS IX SIGHT.
The directors of the Equitable went, in
to session this afternoon at 3 o'clock. For
some hours prior to the board meeting,
Messrs. Depew, Belmont and Moffat, who
with Louis Fitzgerald arid J. B. Forgan
of Chicago constituted the nominating
committee, wore in seESion.
The selection of Morton, in the opinion
of those who have followed events, is in
the nature of a compromise and a' victory
for the Hyde faction. In any event, the
outcome was , seemingly a surprise to
some members of the so-called Alexander
forces. There were two sessions of the
board, a recess being taken at 5 o'clock
this evening when a committee consisting
of Senator Depew, Belmont and Moffat
was appointed to notify Morton, who had
already been elected a director. ' The com
mittee spent almost an hour looking for
Morton, who was escorted into the room
between files of expectant employes. As
the door closed behind him, the. sound of
hand-clapping was heard. The session
following the recess was comparatively
brief, the first director to leave .being
Ives, who, it has been reported about the
corridors', was a candidate for the chair
manship of the board.
Then Depew came out and gave an in
formal summary of the action of the.di
rectors. President Alexander, who was
with the Senator, acquiesced in the state
ment. It was after 6 o'clock when the di
rectors took their final adjournment. /.
Hyde proceeded to his private office,
where, after, a consultation with his law
yers, he issued a letter in which he de
clared that since the legal rights of, the
st(>ckholrlers had been determined by the
Supreme Court of the State, he had deem
cd it to be for the best. interests of the
society to part with' a.: majority, of . the.
stock in such a form that no Individual
should contest.
ASKS CLEVELAND TO ACCEPT.
He mentioned that he. would retain a
substantial stock interest, and expressed
the hope that he should continue \u25a0 to be
identified with the Equitable. . .
Following this was the tender of his
resignation as vice president. Later came
Untermeyer's statement, which follows:
. "Mr. Hyde has sold a majority of the
stock to a representative of the policy
holders represented by. Thomas F. Ryan
and of whom he is one. Mr.: Hyde retains
a substantial stock interest and will con
tinue to be identified with the company.
All the officers including Mr. Hyde have
placed their resignations in the hands of
Mr. Morton, subject to the control and
disposition of Mr. Morton. The interests
of the policy holders have been most care
fully safeguarded by. Mr. Hyde as will
be apparent from the terms of his letter
to; the board.'.' .,. .
This evening Ryan made public a letter
to Cleveland, named as one of the
trustees. Copies were also sent to Justice
O'Brien and Westlnghouse.
After reviewing Equitable affairs in the
letter Ryan asks Cleveland to accept a
place on the hoard of trustees/ saying:
"I beg you to act as an agent of this
board with other gentlemen, - who shall
be "of a character entirely satisfactory to
you. . ' - ; . :, \u25a0 .-' •V- :/'\. ; '\u25a0/ ,;/:
"I should not venture to ask this of you
on any personal grounds, but to restore
this great trust, affecting, so many "peo
ple of slender means, to soundness and
public confidence- would -certainly :beVa
great public service,' and this view/ em
boldens-me to make the request." ;\u25a0"" ;.'
Morton's .election/Is believed to mean
the solution ;of the controversy [ which
began between the Hyde and "Alexander
forces and \u25a0; the establishment ; of the • re
forms demanded.
Interest in. the report of Superintendent
of Insurance Francis Hendricks -.will jbe
heightened \by to-day's events, "lt - having
been declared for "several I days that ; one
or more of the/ men" proposed, for 'the
chairmanship of \ the society felt con-^ j

BtaOeia«ntß in ihe dispatihtrs that the
Pi«-s^c!t j nt'« soie aim U to r/ring the war
luig ;»owers tcgother in direct negotia
tions have betJt confirmed. There has
be> n no undertaking on hla part to ap
pris-e Ru^!a of the Japanese terms nor,
it 5s Ixlitved, to nnd a preliminary basis
for negotiations. The main obstacle. to
the President":? efforts has been removed
at the Emperor's acquiescence in his ini
tlatlve. and negutlations are probably
now proceeding at Tokio.
When the question of the naming of
pernct pipriiputcxitiarics is raised the name
of George oe Staal, who preceded Count
Bt nkendorff iis Russian Embassador at
I^jndon and t.'ho was president of the
poace i-ontrronce at The Hague in 1599,
at once occurs to every Russian. Not
withstanding the progress already made,
a great deal of scepticism Is manifested
in certain quarters as to the result of
President Roosevelt's efforts. The pub
lic seems reluctant to believe that the
Emperor could have assented to anything
like a movement toward peace. Some
<-ynlcs even try to create the impression
that Russia only ee«ks to ascertain Ja
pan's trims a:»d then, by flaunting the
hard conditions imposed in the faces of
the rcr- r «secta lives of the people when
they meet, to arouse the whole nation to
resist them. Such talk, however. Is mere
irresponsible chatter. The Emperor has
cast the die and will make peace If Ja
pan's terms be Kuth that Russia can ac
cept them with dignity.
The Emperor, it must be pointed out,
has not sued for peace. He has only as
sented to a proposition submitted by the
head of a friendly power, end the matter
officially goes no further than that Rus
•sla, now as ever, is ready to see if .a
common basis can be reached. The com
mencement of formal peace negotiations,
especially If coupled with the prompt an
nouncement of the convoking' of a na
tional assembly, may avert the threat
ened crisis which the liberals are forcing
wl the Government, or It may only serve
to precipitate it. Moscow is now a per
fect hotbed of protest against the exist
ing regime, and the address which the
.deputation from the Zexnstvo congress
held there has brought to St. Petersburg
to present to the Emperor has' fairly
* stunned the members of the Government.
Nothing approaching such language used
5n the document from men of such stand
ing as these who signed it has ever be
fore bet-n heard in Russia. There is a
peremptory ring about it which is omin
ous. Tho«> bearing the address' came to
St. Petersburg claiming to be the pleni
potentiaries of the Russian people deliv
ering an ultimatum, not begging terms,
byt demanding rights and almost threat
ening the Government with civil war if
it does not yield. What is roo/e ominous
still is that the body which this deputa
tion represents has not left Moscow, but
has only adjourned awaiting the Em
percr's reply.

Alfonso of Spain ended to-night, with a
dinner at Marlborough House and a state

was the most brilliant function of the

His Majesty spent the morning in wit

where he joined other youthful visitors In
feeding the monkeys with nuts and the
elephants with biscuits. " .
In the afternoon King Edward. King
Alfonso and their suites visited Windsor

the first time. He visited the royal apart

splendid views which, however, ware to
some extent spoiled by continued heavy
ram.
His Majesty was given an enthusiastic
welcome by the boys of Eton College.
He afterward drove to Frogmore to visit
the tomb of Queen Victoria. The royal
party returned to London late \u25a0In the
evening, having received a great recep

King Alfonso M-day was flecorated with

the'mob from the courtroom. - -' ' '
\u25a0'.' Those who \u25a0.were thrust 'out | danced

and the crowd gathered ] attout .the Po
lice Commissioners' room took It up.
-\u25a0-"Justice has been done," said Maestret
ti. "That is all I have to say n0w." ...
'« His rface was flushed with happiness.
For four days he. had been under a ter-
J-lble r strain. . I Three men who , had " been
associated with him in .the -work, in the
Thirty-ninth District had been sentenced
to terms In' the penitentiary. The prose
cuting | attorneys had declared that the
shadow of State's prison hung over him,
and evidently the .words struck home, p
\u25a0 The gang could not be restrained. They
pressed forward and shook his hand.
For the/moment Frank' A. Maestrettl
was the rescued martyr. .•* " '
; The boss " shook hands with his attor
neys,; Budd and Dibble and, surrounded
by enthusiastic members or his following,
left the courtroom. :• As ' he stepped out
of >the. ; door, the mob -outside burst: Into
wild yellsJ of triumph.^ i ; /
Once more Judge I<aw]or commanded
the 'arrest . of the disturbers. . But . the

noisy followers. * \u25a0": ' " ' ,
Old Edward Ewald, whom Judge Lawlor
questioned in" regard to the report that
an | attempt had .been | made to \ tamper
with the- jury, clung; to .the^ boss like a
leach.' He was '\u25a0 second in importance at
the gang's rejoicing. "We got him 'out '"all
right, eh pop?" shouted the gang, and the
ag6d ; politician was slapped, upon ; - the
back and cheered.'-too. ~ r :'-.' r
Flushed with joy i -and " with a buoyant
step the boss walked down the stairway
surrounded by the dancing, shouting mob.
He walked into the ante-room of:%ae'Po<
llco Commissioners' quarters, where he
was congratulated Iby fJ.V George Boyne.
The news traveled fast, and followers and
a ppolntties of Riief hurried to the hall to
express ; their Joy. ;/
The ', crime with ,which Maestretti was
charged was : attempting to , Induce C.: M.
Sl lberatein, an election oflflcer in the Sev
enty-ninth Precinct,'; to" swear falsely at
the trial i of Charles Wyman, a follower
of the bosses who is now at San Quentln

cast?" he demanded.
The Grand Jury was denounced as a
"new Council of Venice sitting in a back
room in the Mills, building." .The private
detectives were , referred to as "lice
delving . in the underwear of the com
munity.*' 1 The address was full, of vitu
peration of this sort, and delivered In a

' j During portions of District Attorney
Bylngton's closing argument Maestrettt
flushed an angry red and chewed his

"Admiral Togo entered the arena with
the beet fighting material of his squadron,

and Kusuga, and Vice Admiral Kamirnu
ra's squadron- of six armored cruisers,
Togo steaming fourteen and Kamimura
sixteen knots. The Russians opened flre
at 12.UU0 meters. It was wholly- ineffectual.
The Japanese reserved their flre until
7500 meters, when they fired sis trial shots*
and scored three hits. The battle then
became general. The Russians perpetual
