corner of Denton county, yesterday af-

29 years, was hauling bundled wheat
to a thresher belonging to Goodyear
Brothers, and in getting off the wagon
missed his hold and fell head foremost
under the team of mules. It caused
them to take fright, and in moving up
the wheels of the heavily loaded wagon
passed over his body and crushed the

Baron Rosen, Russian ambassador to
the United States and second of the
Russian emperor’s envoys to the peace
conference, was with President Roose-
¥eit an hour today at Sagamore Hill.
He came to Oyster Bay by an invita-
tion of the president, not merely to
discuss with him the situation, but to
have presented to him by the president
a proposition, which it is hoped may
resolve the differences which have
arsen between the plenipotentiaries of
the two governments. After his con-
ference with the president, Baron Ro-
wen left immediately for his summer
home,at Magnolia, Mass., where he and
MuWitte expect to spend Sunday.
Neither President Roosevelt nor I
an' Rosen would discuss, even in
the most general terms, the details or
result of their conference. The amn-
bassador will present the president’s
proposition to M. Witte tonight, and
the likelihood is that it will be trans-
mitted to Emperor Nicholas.
On the result of its consideration
will depend the fate of the peace con-
ference. It is not Improbable that be-
fore the envoys meet next Tuesday
morning it may be known with some
degree of definiteness whether there is
to be peace In the far east or a con-
tinuance of the war.
Until the present time President
Roosevelt has refrained from any ao-
terview, but it is significant that the
baron had scarcely started for New

the negotiations at Portsmouth became
active. He sent a long and Important

the emperor rescinded the ukase of

tions relating to the perfecting of the

mitted to the assembly. This decision
was emphasized by General Durnov,

outlines of the now institutions are too

; tive office in Oyster Bay village. Then
। ensued a long distance conference be-
tween the president and the Russian
envoys, the message being transmitted
through Secretary Barnes here and
through Secretary Pierce at Ports-
mouth.
The president invited M. Witte to
send a trusted envoy, preferably Baron
de Rosen, to Sagamore Hill in order
that he might present to him for the
consideration of the Russian mission a
proposition of the highest importance.
The invitation of the president was ac-
cepted and the details were soon ar-
ranged.
Baron de Rosen, accompanied by
Prince Koudnehef as his secretary,
left Portsmouth this morning. He went
to Magnolia. Mass., the Beat of hie
embassy during the summer, and from
thence to Boston, where he boarded
a limited train for New York. At
2:45 o’clock this afternoon the train
made a special stop at New Rochelle,
N. Y., where Ambassador Rosen and
the prince left it and boarded the
yacht Sylph, which the president bad
sent to convey the Russians to Oyster
Bay. Bearing the baron and his sec-
retary, the Sylph entered Oyster Hay
and cast anchor below Sagamore Hill
at 4:15. Five minutes later the presl-
dent’s callers were enroute to the pier
in the Sylph’s- motor boat. As he
landed Baron de Rosen was almost
brusque in his refusal to discuss his
mission. They entered one of the
president’s carriages which was await-
ing them and were driven to Sagamor
Hill.
They remained with the president
about an hour. At the end of the con-
ference, while Baron de Rosen still de-
dined to talk of his visit, his de-
meanor was changed absolutely. His
face was wreathed in sihiles and his
er was quite genal. The inter-
view evidently had been entirely satis-
factom to him.
The Russian visitors were conveyed
to the Sylph in the motor boat shortly
before 6 d’clock and the yacht weighed
anchor and steamed out of the bay.
Her destination was not dsclosed, but
It was supposed to be some point on
the lower New England coast where
Baron de Rosen and Prince Koua-
chef might catch a train that would
enable them to reach Magnolia tonight.
President Roosevelt said this even-
ing that he could not discuss in any
way his conference with Baron Rosen,
the impression being conveyed by his
remarks that publicity at the moment
might Imperil if not wreck entirely
pending negotiations.
The present would not Indicate
either his opinion of the result of the
negotiations. It Is quite evident from
the trend of events today, which made
Oyster Bay for an hour the center of
the peace proceedings, that the Russian
envoys now are in possession of in-
formation that will assist them ma-
terially In concluding an agreement
with the Japanese plenipotentiaries.
It would be futile to speculate as to
the nature of the information or as to
the character of the position the
president submitted to Baron Rosen:
but It can be said that if the conferees
after communicating with their govern-
ment are able to proceed with their
labors next Tuesday without a rupture,
it will be due to the final effort made
today by President Roosevelt.
tion, even by indirection, that might
be construed as interference with the
plenipotentiaries. He announced at
the beginning of the negotitions that
neither by word nor act would he par-
ticipate in the proceedings of the con-
ference, although he made it clear to
the envoys of both Russia and Japan
that he would be ready at any time to
assist them in a proper way in the
work in which they had been desig-
nated by their respective emperors to
undertake.
In anticipation, however, of failure
of the envoys to agree on certain of
the articles which they had agreed to
consider and in expectation that he
might be appealed to by one side or the
other before the conclusion of the con-
ference, the president has been in con-
ferencewith the great neutral powers.
His purpose was to enlist their support
of a final effort to secure an honorable
peace.
With King Edward he communicated,
because Great Britain is practically an
ally of Japan, and with President Lou-
bet, because France is the nearest
friend of Russia. Germany, too, was
appealed to and Emperor William is
exerting his Influence for peace.

ister to Tokyo, the president has also
