RUSSIA'S POSITION ABLY DEFENDED ASSERTS PROPERTY IS LARGELY PRIVATE AND NOT SUBJECT TO CONFISCATION. Portsmouth, N. H.,, Aug. 17.—Both sessions of the Russo-Japanese peace conference were occupied entirely in discussion of article 7, which refers to the cession of the China Eastern railroad to China. This road runs south from Harbin to Port Arthur and Dalny, with spur to Newchwang, where it connects with the Shanhai- kwan-Tientsin road. This article was conditionally accepted by the Russian reply, but agreement to it was bound up with considerations involving ths fate of the whole negntiations. Russia will not admit the Japanese conten- tion th@fi the road is wholly a govern- ment institution, as all the shares of the railroad corporation are owned by the Russo-Chinese bank. The governp- went’s interest in the road, however, is not denied, but it is urged that so far as it is private property it is not confiscable. The Russian contention is backed up by evidence. Mr. Berg, the. vice director and attorney of the Russo- Chinese bank, is here to protect the interests of the bank. Nevertheless, in the long run, Russia, it can be re- garded as certain, is prepared to give up the road, remunerating the Russo- Chinese bank if necessary, as with the loss cof Port Arthur and Dalny and the evacuation of Manchuria its raison de etre for strategic and military pur- poees ceases. Its surrender to China, bowever, involves a large monetary profit for Japan,. which can properly <laim remuneration from China for the restoration of the road, the re- building of the bridges and the chang- ing in the gauge. It will be for China and Japan to arrange this, but how- ever adjusted the money which Japan will obtain might be a partial “re- muneration” for the cost of the war which she demands from Russia and constitutes, perhaps, the line of ulti- mate compromise if a treaty eventually i signed. It is quite likely, there- fore that agreement on the article after discussion will be held in abey- ance until later and will be settled in the final exchange of views. Crisis Almost at Hand. From the very nature of the articles yet remaining to be considered it is certain that the crisis in the negotia- tions is almost at hand. All that re- mains seems more or less mutually interdependent. If Japan, as is gen- erally believed, is ready to yield on the question of limiting Russia’s sea power in the Far East and the sur- render of the interned warships it would only be in return for a satisfac- tory agreement on the issues of Sak- balin and indemnity. The flve articles so far agreed upon by the peace envoys are as follows: First—Recognition of Japan’s “pre- pouderating influence” in Korea, ste. Second—Mutual obligation to evacu- ate Manchuria, Russia to retrocede to China all special privileges, ete. Third—Japanese obligations to re- gtore the sovereignty and administra- tion of China in Manchuria. Fourthb—DMutual obligations to re- spect the territorial and administra- tive integrity of China and the prin- ciple of the “open door.” Sixth—The surrender of the Rus- sian leases to the Liaotung peninsula, including Port Arthur, Dajny and the Blonde and Elliott islands. It is known that the Japanese peace plenipotentiaries have sent to Wash- ington for parchment paper such as is used in the engrossment of treaties. This is regarded as significant. For Regulation of Navigation. Seoul, Aug. 17.—After repeated postponements Japan has signed an agreement with Korea for the regula- tion of navigation on the coast and interior rivers for a term of fifteen years. The agreement will be pub- lished officially in a few days. = —_—————— Na!ior;-;l—Lo'-guC At Plttsburg, 1; Philadelphia, 3— five mnmgs, stoppad by n.ln. e R AR R e R R e MR L A LRSS S, NATIONAL RECIPROCITY CONFER- ENCE HOLDS OPENING SES- SION AT CHICAGO.

Neither Side Would Budge an Inch When Matter of Indemnity Was Brought Up. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 17.—The peace plenipotentiaries adjourned for luncheon at 1:30 o’clock, having spent the entire morning discussing article nine, which it is believed includes the question of Japan’s reimbursement for Helena, Mont., Aug. 17.—Judge Hunt of the United States court has left for Anaconda to make a personal inspec- tion of the farms of Deer Lodge val- ley, in the vicinity of the Great ‘Washoe smelter of the Amalgamated Copper company, to ascertain whether, as charged, smoke and fumes from the smelter are doing damage to the farmers.

Conger arrived in Washington during the day from Mexico. He:had a conference with Acting Secretary Adee at the state department ,and later made arrangements to visit the president at Oyster Bay. Mr. Conger would not discuss his future plans further than to say that he had no intention of enteringzpolitics in Iowa. the cost of the war. No agreement was reached and the commissioners temporarily laid it aside and proceed~ ed to discuss the following articles. The discussion of article nine revealed the fact that a deadlock prevails. Neither side would budge an inch, YIELDING TO THEATMENT INCREASE IN NEW CASES OF FEVER BUT DECREASE IN DEATH LIST, New Orleans, Aug. 17.—There was a slight increase in the number of new cases of yellow fever reported im New Orleans for the preceding twenty- four hours, but this is offset by the decrease in the death list as com- | pared with the same time. It shows the effectiveness of the treatment of the cases and conveys an air of ens couragement. No new cases were ree ported during the morning from any point in the state. ‘Minneapolis, Aug " 16.~= Wheat— Sept., 84% @843%c; Dec., 83%@88%¢c;| May, 86%c. $1.09; No. 1 Northern, $1.07; No. 2 Northern, $1. 04-1/2.
