WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT TO-DAY'S CONFERENCE NO ONE KNOWS. "Greed and Obstinacy of Japan Compel Continuance of War," Says Russia--Char Sent Line- viteh's Telegram to De Witte. Srecial to the Wig Portsmouth, N.H., Aug, 22. ~The fol- lowing authoritative ation of the peace situation comes from the Rus- sian mission : "We do not believe that there is any probability of peace in the actual existi situation which is very strained. The conditions of the Japanese are humiliating to Russia, who has made all the concessions she can make, 'We personally wish peace, an ab- solute peace, for Russia, as we have always done, but the greed and the obstinacy of Japan will compel a continuance of the war. "We deny in the most formal way the following three statements: * 'lhat President Roosevelt has proposed ar: bitration; that the * Russian envoys have received any instructions other than those originally received from St. Petersburg; that President Roose- velt has proposed that the Russians |: shall buy Saghalien Island for the amount of the indenmity." " It is further announced that the em- peror has seit, personally, to M. De |= Witte, a tel vitch, in which the war be continued. Among the Japanese, if the guarded m from Gen. Line- statments of one of their number is to |; he taken as representing the general view of the mikado"s mission, the sentiment appears to prevail that a |: of the war is by no means | conti certain. The Russians still hold to the idea that the Japanese, by refusing to make concessions, will lose the sympathy of the world by placing themselves in the attitude of fighting at the expense of thousands of hu- man lives for the mere sake of filthy luere, ' Nobody 'knows. exactly what will happen, to-day, when the ce en voys meet, but it is certain that to- day will not witness the close of the those Pertaining 10 President Roosevelt's of- ort to prevent failure. For one thing the Russian copies of the protocol of the agreements reached by the en- voys will hardly be ready for . com- parison with the Japanese dealts; and even if they are ready, the work: of comparison cannot be completed in the bare three hours .that the comfer- ence will be in session. There is a prospect, therefore, .that .an adjourn ment will be taken until Thursday or Friday. Every day's delay means an important gain for peace, Death Knell Of Peace. Oyster Bay, Aug. 22. Baron Ka- keno, who maintains he is not Ja- pan's financial agent, but who would not define his position, so confidential is its nature, had three-quarters of an hour's conference with the presi- dent, yesterday. Two points seem oer- tain as the result of the conference : (1) That the president now knows just how much Japan would concede to Russia in deference to the presi- dent's wishegy and' (2), that Japan is bound to have an indempity, and if the Russian phrase of "Not one Ko- peck' really signifies anything, the Portsmouth eonference must end in failure, Conference Adjourned. Portsmouth, N.H., Aug. 22,-The official announcement was issued at 10:15 o'clock, this morning, that to day's session of the peace envoys had been adjourned until 9:30 am., to- Worrow. . Eufope Works To End Strife. Oyster Bay, Aug. 29. President Roosevelt has not abandoned hope of a successful issue of the peace com- ference. Ho has not relaxed, either, his efforts to prevent a rupture be- tween the conferees when they re: convene to-morrow at Portemouth. After Baron Kaneko's visit Presi dent Roosevelt had his acting secre- tary, Mr. Barnes, with hing for two hours. Late in the day' important messages were received from Ports: mouth, the response to which oecu- pied the president's attention for a considerable time. ; The president acting as an interie- diary between ihe. jvo warring gov- ernments feels tha? secrecy is. even more incumbent upon hiur than it would be if the matter related wholly to him personally or to the United States. He maintains that if any publica: tion is made concerning the pending negotiations it awist be authorized by the representatives of the powers in direct interest, The president declines to either con- firm or deny any of the statentents made about the proposition which he submitted to the Russian envoys through Baron Rosen. : ere is strong reason for the statement, however, that the proposi- tion involved far more than a mere suggestion that the matters in dif ference between the envoys be mit to the arbitrament of an inv partin) tribunal.
