upon the mission protocol went to Mr.

' As the situation now stands Mr.

upon articles the and nine. it is better
to continue the war.

exact words to he used are agreed to
between them and if an isdue arises
which they cannot adjust it is referred
to the respective chiefs Baron Ko-
rnura and Mr. Witte All has thus
far gone smoothly. Should a treaty
eventually be agreed upon it will be
written in French with an English
copy attached. But the French text
will be the document signed and will
govern in case of dispute over inter-
pretatlon.
A plan for compromising the differ-
ences bethen the plenipotentlarlos on
article five (Sakhalin) has been sug-
gested. it contemplates the restora-
tion of the status quo existing before
1871'). when Russia held the northern
and Japan the southern part of the
island. This, it is contended. should
satisfy the national claims of Japan
and at the same time relieve Russia
of the danger of an invasion of the
mainland and which would ”exist if
the island were in the full possession
of the Japanes. Such a resolution of
course would involve some sort of a
mixed commission to limit the fron-
tier, which was never definitely fixed.
This Iuggesfion in the gossip is at-
tributed to President Roosevelt. but
no evidence is offered to support such
a supposition. Mr. Briantchanlnoff.
correspondent for the 81. Pctersburg
Slovo is adverstlng this compromise
in his dispatches.
At 1 o'clock today a personal rep-
1'escntative of the president was clos-
cted with Mr. Witte and Iiiaron Rosen
ut the naval general stores at the
navy yard. An appointment for the
conference was made1 through Secre-
taiy Peirce last night. It is not, yet
known who the emissary of the presi-
dent is“. Since 12:30 the. correspon-
dents have been waiting on the vein
undo of Mr. Witte'l apartments. where
he had an appointment to meet them
at that hour to be photographed with
them. They awaited his coming for
half an hour and then dispersed and
every one is wondering where Mr
Witte is and whether he forgot his
engagement
'lhc. conference is supposed to have
bcgun about 12: 30. Mr. Witte and
Baron Rosen left the hotel this morn-
ing in an automobile, supposedly for
a ride.
Mr. Peirce has not been at the hotel
since this morning and it. is supposed
is also at the navy yard, where he
may tho 1cccived the president‘ 5 en-
yo) and prosenitd him to the picni-
potentiaries.
'1 he conference between Mr: Witte.
Daron Rosen and the president’s mes—
scngcr at the navy yard ended at 1:10
this afternoon.
l'AItlS, Aug. 21—h feeling of deep
solicltudc prevails conccrniug the
pcuce conference at Portsmouth which
officials expect will continue for some
days pending the last desperate effort
to nvcrt a rupture. The View in othc-
inl quarters took a discouraging turn
apparently as the result. of confidential
ndviccs through official Russian
sources.
'ihe bourae today at that showed
surprising buoyancy, Russian fours
opening at an advance of 25 centimos.
but Inter discouraging advices from
Portsmouth for the first time dispelled
the optimistic feeling of the murkct
and caused a general decline. Shortly
before the close Russians and other
scruritlcs wore hcuvlly offered and
the closing was weak. This was in
marked contrast to the steady south
ment of confidence heretofore prcvull~
lng‘.
