No Indemnity, Division of Sakhalin Island, Russia Keeps Interned War Ships, No Limitation of Rus- sian Naval Power in the Far WILL NOT BOW TO JAP YOKE. Russians Eager for One More Test on the Battlefield. 8t. Petersburg, Aug. 29.—The Sviet Beys: ‘“The Japanese conditions for peace would only be acceptable if a Japa- nese fleet was threatening St. Peters- burg and a Japanese army was occu- pying Moscow. R a will not bow to the Japanese yoke to fulfill Presi- dent Roosevell’s desire to guarantee the American crediters of Japan and to cover - himself with glory as a peacemaker. Japan, needing peace, seeks it through the intermediary of her friend, Fresident Roosevelt, and makes exorbitant demands, while the president is striving indirectly to ex- act the consent of Russia. After long and frnitless negotiations it would scem that we are on the eve of what Russia has long desired—a great bat- tle between General Linevitch and Field Marshal Oyama 2 CSNFERENCE HOLD LENGTHY Jananese Cabinet Discussés Crisis at Portsmouth. Tokio, Aug. 29.—The conference of the cabinet officers and elder states- men, which began early in the morn- ing, adjourned at 2 o’clock in the aft- ernoon and the participants proceeded to the palace, where the deliberations were continued under the presidency of the emperor. It is believed that the decision will mean continuance of the war or peace. The capital continues exceedingly quiet. No manifestations ve ult- ed from the outwardly critical situa- tion. AR Brussels, Aug. 29.—The opening of the Interparliamentary congress in the National palace here was the oc- casion for a notable demonstration in behalf of President Roosevelt and the success of the peace conference at Portsmouth. The session was held in the senate chamber of the palace. Large delegations, 1 nting prac- tically all the leac parliament were present, The welcoming address delive © Minister of State Ber- naert aroused a storm of applause when he referred to President Roose- velt's two conspicuous movements in behalf of peace in t calling a meet- ing of The Hague conference dnd sec- ondly in bringing together the pleni- potentiaries of Ru and Japan. Baron de Favoreau, the Belgian min- ister for foreign affairs, added flatter- ing tributes to the president’s efforts. The congress then adopted, amid enthusiasm, resolutions of thanks to President Roosevelt and the secretary was authorized to cable the follow- ng: “The Interparliamentary congress at Brussels sends greetings and has the honor to advise you that it has passed resolutions expressing its high . appreciation of your action in calling ' a seeond conference at The Hague in ! the interest of international peace and . its profound thanks for your noble ef- | forts in the interests of humanity to i terminate the Russo-Japanese war.” SHARP DECLINE Japanese Convinced Peace Negotia- tions Will Fail. IN PRICES. { Tokio, Aug. 29.—The public here re-: mains uninformed regarding the lat- est developments at Portsmouth, but seems convinced that peace is hope- The market reflected this senti- ment. After the opening prices sharp- ly declined. Shares of the exchange itself deciined 20 yen, the heaviest fall on the list. The'failure of the peace negotiatiens would *be generally regretted, but the press and all other B | expressions indicate widespread prefer- ence for a continuation of the war rather than the acceptance of unsat- isfactory terms. ying this pop- ular attitude is deep roocted confidence that Field Marshal Oyama will defeat | General Linevitch and take Harbin and that the Japanese will completely overrun the coast provinces, possibly greatly lowering the cost of the op- erations after the main Russian army has been defeated, and continue the war for an ext.ended period. East. Portsmouth, August 29—The Russo-Japanese peace conference this morning reached complete accord on all questions and ad- journed until three this afternoon when it will proceed with the preparation of the treaty. The Japanese have practically yielded everything and accepted the Rus- sian ultimatum, There will be no indemity and the division of Sakhalin island will be made without the payment of redemp- tion money. Japan also yielded herpointas to the interned war ships and the limitation of Rus- sian naval power in the far east. Delegates will be called in at the afternoon session and the actual work of the formatioa of the treaty will be begun. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 29.—The peace conference is likened to a dying man kept alive by oxygen adminis- tered by President Roosevelt. Yet no actual evidence can be obtained here that the president has made a new appeal to the emperor of Japan. What may have been only a slip of the tongue from M. Witte was so inter- preted. Speaking of the final decision of the Tokio government he remarked on the fourteen-hour difference of time between Oyster Bay and Tokio, but then hastily corrected himself and said “New York and Tokio,” Certain- ly the president has not initiated new representations at Peterhof. Emperor Nicholas’ reply to Ambassador Meyer was of such a nature as to preclude another tentative proposal in that di- rection at this stage. Later the way i might be open,.but for the moment to offer uew advice in the face of what practically amounted to an ultimatum from the emperor on the subject of indemnity might be to court a rebuff. New Representations at Tokio alone would perhaps not be in ac- cordance with the president’s role. At ileast it would constitute a change in his attitude. Heretofore he has not acted as mediator, but as the head of a state friendly to both parties, ten- dering his good offices and friendly fadvice impartially and simultaneously to both. The president took good care that this should be distinctly under- stood. The compromise he suggested | to Peterhof he suggested simultane- ously to Tokio. It would seem more i probable, therefore, that the president has not attempted to influence direct- ly the question of Japan's response to i the fiat refusal of Russia to pay any- thing in the shape of indemnity. All eyes turn to "Tokio, where the mo- mentous question is being decided. The action of the meeting of the cab- inet and elder statesmen is awaited with feverish anxiety. M. Witte frankly expresses skep- tlclsm of the effect of any new pro- lpohdl Japan may be able to offer. He idoes not believe Japan will withdraw | entirely her demand for reimburse- ment of the expenses of the war and to scale it down or attempt to dis- guise it in another form, he declares, would not change the situation. FRANCE HOPEFUL OF PEACE. Believes Agreeable Surprise Awaits the World. Paris, Aug. 29.—The diplomats and officials, in discussing the prospects at Portsmouth, displayed evident anx- iety. Nevertheless, there was an im- pression that an agreeable surprise awaits the world when the critical mo- ment arrives for the plenipotentiaries to give their final answer for peace or war. Both of the belligerents are considered to be ardently desirous of peace even at the expense of sacri- fices. On the bourse the feeling was some- what shaken as a result of contradic- tory reports from Portsmouth and St. Petersburg, but hope still prevailed ‘that the result of the conference would be _satjsfactory,
