A MILE IN 35 SECONDS
W Made in On Place. An Extraor-
dinary Achievement
Chicago. June 13 On its initial
run from New York the Pennsyl-
vania rail road's eighteen hour
"Flyer." the fastest long distance
train in the world arrived in this
city at 8 25 o'clock this morning
three minutes i.liead of schedule
time. In order to accomplish this
feat extraordinary achievements
in the way of fast running were
necessary. After leaving Pittsburg
the tender of the big Atlantic tvjie
engine which l ad been at tidied at
that city for tins run to Cresline
Ohio developed a hot box about
twenty mil-s
east .f Mansfield
Ohio. The ei.gineer stepped his
train and fifteen minutes were lost
in futile efforts to cool the trouble-
some axle. Finally a freight engine
was attached and the train limped
into Cresline. Ik-re the regular
engine was in waiting and when
the "'Flyer" left the latter place
it was twenty six minutes late.
Th run to Fort Wayne. 13 r miles
away was made in 114J2 minutes
an average of OS 6 10 miles an
'hour. When the train pulled out
of Fort Wayne for the last hip of
the long journey it was only oJ
minutes late 16 minutes of the
lost time having been made up.
Miles were frequently reeled off in
from 44 'o 50 seconds and average
speed of a mile a minute was easily
maintained over the long stretches
of track.
President Underwood of the Erie
railroad was a passenger.
Already the . Pennsylvania rail-
road officials are discussing the
possibility of reducing the running
time between Chicago and New
York to sixteen hours time.

RESOLUTIONS
Adopted by the Washitaw Valley Lodge
Vo 43. of Knight of Pythiaa.
Whereas God in his infinite wis
dom has permitted the dark angel
of death to again enter our midst
and remove from earth our beloved
brother Dr. H. F. Gorman:
Whereas we realize that not on-
ly our local order of K. of P's. has
lost oneof its leading members but
each of us a personal friend there-
fore be it resolved;
First That in the death of Dr.
Gorman our lodge has lost a valued
member one who cheerfully and
willingly met and discharged all the '
obligations placed upon him and j
by his leadiuess and zeal was an!
inspiration t o his associates to better I
things.
His life promised to be one of
great usefulness but we bow in
humble submission to His divine
will.
Second. That while we mourn
for him we do not mourn as those
who have no hope for we know
that even now lie is with the Savi-
our for whom he longed.
Third. That we tender our
heart-felt sympathy to his bereaved
family and commend them in their
great sorrow to the only source of
comfort; the all-merciful Father
who loves even while He afflicts
and pray that He will speak .peace
to their troubled hearts and enable
them to say in the midst of their
distress; "The Lord gave and
the Lord taketh away; blessed be
the name of the Lord."
Fourth. That these resolutions

NEGOTIATIONS
FOR PEACE
ARE PROGRESSING SATISFACTORILY
COUNT CASSI01 HAS A CONFER-
ENCE WITH THE PRESIDENT
RUSSIAN REPLY DELIVERED
At the White House. Russia ia Ready
lor Peace
Washington June 13. -Court Cas-
siui. the Russian ambassador had
a half hour conference with the
president today. At its conclusion
Count Cassini returned at once to
his embassy declining to discuss
in any ivay the object of his visit
That the conference related to
the reply of the Russian govern-
ment to the proposition mad'- by
President Roosevelt lat Friday is
known but whether Count Cassini
presented to the president formally
the response of Russia could not
be ascertaine.":.
It can be said.' however that the
rplay of the Russian government
already had been received by the
president before his interview with
Count Cassini. - Later it became
known officially that Ambassador
Cassini called to express the Rus-
sian government's consent lo the
president's proposition and to state
that Russia would appoint pleni-
potentiaries to meet the plenipoten-
tiaries of Japan to discuss the
question of ( peace. The ' peace
meeting at present is beii.g discus-
sed. W'ashingttnjune 12 Assurance
is given here by the highest officials
that there is no hitch iii the peace
negotiations and that reports to
that effect are entirely without
foundation. A long cablegram was
received from Mr. Meyer the
American ambassadorat St. Peters-
burg late Saturday night which
was not deciphered ht that time.
It was generally supposed to be the
Russian reply. The contents of
this cablegram have not yet been
made ptblic but it is believed that

pected the Russian answer would
take when formally communicated
St. Petersburg June 13. (12:40-
p. in.) Russia's official reply is
now on its way to Washington.
Foreign Minister Lamsdoff trans-
mitted it to Ambassador Meyer
and later the ambassador had an in-
terview with the foreign minister
at the foreign office.
St. Petersburg June 13 (1.20 p.-
m.) The attempts to create an
impression that there is the slight-
est hitch in the preliminary negoti-
ations is without the shadow of a
foundation. Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff has formally notified
several of the continental powers
that a meeting of plenipotentiaries
to see whether it is possible to
agree to terms of peace is assured.
Now that Russia has received
formal notification that Japan has
sent an official and favorable reply
to President Roosevelt the Russian
official reply will be forwarded and
the Associated Press feels it is in a
position to state positively that the
reply will fully respond to the presi-
dent's message. There does not
seem to be the slightest . warrant
for the gratituous idea that some
correspondents are putting out that
Russia is only desirous of ascertain-
the Japanese conditions and at the
same time gain a better position for
her army in Manchuria.
