PEACE CONFERENCE. If Japan Insists on Indemnity Negotiations may Break Cf This Week--Won't Acsant "'Dishonorable Peace"--Czar 'Meets Ministers. o to Whig, pele) och N.H., Aug. 15.--~Three of the twelve conditions precedent to peace, which the «Japanese laid down, on Thursday, were agreed upon yes terday, between the envoys of that government and Russia. The first of the conditions agreed upon was that Russia recognize the preponderating influence of i, ioe in Korea, and the succeeding articles relating to the evacuation of Manchuria, and the rve- cognition by both Japan and Russia of. the integrity of China. To-day, the fourth article will be taken up for discussion. Jacob H. Schiff, of the banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., Isaac Seligman, of the banking firm of J, & W. Seligman, Os. car S. Strauss, former minister to Turkey, and Adolph Lewisohn, - the New York Jewish leader, veached here, yesterday afternoon, in response to a request from M.- De Witte, and went into conference with the Russian en- vay, at nine o'clock, last night. Mr, Strauss explained, in response to en- quiries, that the purpose of M. De Witte in asking himself and his as sociates to come to Portsmouth was to discuss with them means for ame- lierating the conditions of the Jews in Russia. He added, however, signi- ficantly, that while this was primarily the object of the conference, it was to be expected that the finances of Rus- sia would be considered. There ia every reason to helieve that M. De Witte is making arrangements to raise money for Russia, and that he desires to secure the co-operation of the Jew- ish bankers |to this end. The shrewd- ness of his course is obvious. If by promises to make less onerous. the burden. imposed upon the Jewish sub- jects of the czar he secures the resp and d. to raise money would be al vely BASY, rege Will Play Last Card. London, Aug. 15.--The Tinies cor respondent, at St. Petersburg, tele- graphs his paper as follows : "A high personage declared to me, to-day, that if Japan dors not abandon her demand for an indemnity negotia- tions will be broken off this week. Every preparation has been completed with a view to a general mobilization in order to make a sipreme effort, in Manchuria, in the present year. It is true the chances of victory are du- bious, but Russia will play her last card before accepting what she re gards as dishonorable conditions of peace." » Czar's Weekiy Audience. 8t.
