Ellis died at his homo in Wil linmston last Friday morning, after an illness of several weeks, caused by a second attack of paralysis. Since the death of his wife last September, Mr. Ellis has been in failing health and very despondent over tho ioss of his life companion. He was in tho fifty third year of his age and had lived at Williainston for the past two years, having formerly lived at Pelzer, but was raised in Spnrtanburg county, near Beidville.

Administrator; June 14 1005 52 3 Russia and Japan Preparing for Peace. Washington, June 12.?The warring countries having formally agreed to try to conclude peace, the next step will be the first direct exchange in which Japan is expected to take the initiative, indicating doubtless through an intermediary at Washington^ its t views as to th? time and place of meet- j ing. Russia will otter no objection to a reasonable suggestion, beiug prepared to issue immediately instructions to her preliminary plenipotentiary, whose personality depends upon the place Japan names. Ambassador Cassini called on the President today to express the Russian government's consent t. > the President's proposition and to state that Russia would appoint plenip ?teutinries to meet the plenipotentiaries of Japan to discuss the. question oJ peace. The place of meeting is at present being discussed. St. Petersburg, June 1 -2?A11 attempts to-createnu impression that then-is the slightest hitch in the preliminary negotiations are absolutely without, a shadow of foundation. Foreign Min ister Lamsdorl)' has formally notified several continental powers thata meet ing of plenipotentiaries to see whether it is possible to agree to tenus of peace is assured. Now that Russia luis received a for mal notification that Japan has sent her official and favorable reply to President Roosevelt, the Kassian official reply bat been forwatded. The Associated Press feels that it is in a position instate positively that the reply will fully respond to the Presi dent's message. '1 hero does not seem to bo the slightest warrant for tho gra tuitous idea some correspondents are putting out. that Russia is only desirous of ascertaining tho Japanese conditions ami at the same lime gain a better po sition for her army in Manchuria.
