The opportunity afforded by the luncheon for an uninterrupted talk ‘was embraced by the President and Sir Mortimer to discuss fully the recent developments in the Far East as well as for a consideration of some matters involving the relations of the United States and Great Britain, That they discussed seriously, though informally, the prospects of bringing about peace between Russia and Japan, there can be no doubt. fo far, however, this country has received no information from Russia that negotiations looking to peace, in the existing circumstances, would be acceptable to the Czar’s Government. President Roosevelt is keeping in close touch with the situation and is} willing, as he has been for many months, to take the Initiative in peace ne- gotiations should a favorable opportunity be presented, Tt 1s expected that Count Cassini, the Russian Ambassador, will ‘have in the near future a conference with President Roosevelt, but no engage- ment has yet been made for It. ere Czar Holds Peace Conference.
