NOT PEACE AT ANY PRICE. Foreign View of Witte's Appointment Rejected by Russians. St. Petersburg, July 17.—The Sviet, which sometimes interprets the views of the military party, indignantly re- jects the interpretation put on M, Witte's appointment abroad, namely, that it is equivalent to the acccptapca of any peace terms Japan may choocse to offer except leveling the fortifica- tions of Vladivostok. The paper calls attention to Emperor Nicholas’ mar- ginal notes ‘o various addresses ex- pressiug his determination to continue thHe war and especially refers to his telegram to Lieutenant General Line- vitch June 14, which the ‘commander- dn-chief read to the army and which has just been published here, in which the emperor pledged himself to do everything possible to lighten the heavy task of the army and expressed confidence that all obstacles would finally be overcome and that the war would end happily for the Russian army, as proof that the emperor has no intention to make peace at any pric As further evidence the Sviet draws attention to the unusual note attached to the official announcement of M. Wilte's appointment: “Being intimately acquainted with the situation M. Witte undoubtedly will be equal to the high and impor- tant mission with which the emperor has charged him to protect the inter- ests of Russia.” The Slovoe thinks that the desire of the powers, especially of Great Brit- ain, in yiew of Emperor William's -at- titude towards France, to see Russia rehabilitated in order to preserve the balance of power in Europe, would { become a strong diplomatic weapon in the hands of the Russian plenipoten- for the restoration practically atus guo ante bellum.” AGED - MAN KILLS HIMSELF.‘ Suicide Result of Sensational sures in Divorce Case..
