( Peace Negotiations Between Russia and Japan. At the suggestion and instance of President Roosevelt Russia and Japan have agreed to enter upon ' pence negotiations, and the ambassadors and diplomats have been choses by each. The place of mcct' ing for the discussion of peace terms has not yet been fully agreed upon, although each nation seenis willing to have the meetinnr of T ' Paris, or Washington. At the same time it will bo necessary that ^ some distinct understanding be had ? as to what extent the movements of the two armies will bo limited, or ^ whether a complete armistice and i cessation of hostilities l>e had in the ' meantime. Japan will submit her terms which will doubtless be a severe test of the Russian spirit to yield to the demands, but Russia is 3 not now in a position to demand anything, while Japan is prepared ; to dictate. An early settlement of ' all differences is hoped for by all " nations. 1 List of Teacher Pupils Ati tending the Summer School. t Misses Lillie Adams, Fannie Bo Ik>, Mr. Jeter Butler, Miss Mclle FlniHrl o au \t r P/v*?/?a i/wv.bnun>, i'l I j 4/X/JVU i j/a;u, IHIS^US t Eloise Foster, Bculah Gall man, Maude Garner, Ella Goudelock, 1 Bertha Goudelock, Annie Belle Giblw, Dinnie Hamilton, Bertha 1 Humphries, r Bessie Humphries, Gertrude Mathis, Eugenia Meng, f Siby Moorehead, Agnes Murphy, Addio and Essie Sanders, Kate I Summer, Johnie Smith, Susie Tins* ley, Lizzie Whitlock, Ixmisc Young.
