RTSMOUTH, August air—Exces-
it tension are the words which
houid be used to describe the situa-
on before the peace plenipotenliar-
edible morning. There were evl‘
fillies of excitment in both camps as
Iterchiefs and attaches made their
rations for departure. . The sum‘
:mer attests of the hotel were as agi-
tated as the foreigners and the crowds
'on' the veranda to witness the depar-
ture was larger than any since the
pretence began its sittings.
The Russians got away first, Mr.
Witbe, Baron Roseu and Mr. Nabau-
‘kbfi. Mr. Wiltc's secretary. entering
their motor car at exactly 9 o‘clock.
They appeared excessively guy, greet-
. in: the crowd assembled to see them
on with broad smiles and cheery
‘ “500d mornings" and tho physlogono»
my readers instantly translated what
‘ they had seen as a certain nugury titat
peace would be fully arranged today.
To the more careful observers. how-
ever, the smiles at the Russians ap-
V'peared forced and beneath the gay
exterior there was an expression of
, anxiety.
. ‘ Baron Kotnuru, Mr. 'l‘aitujira, Mr.
V Sam: and Mr. Adashi appeared on tho
' main veranda with faces composed
and inscrutible as over. They, too.
smiled in response to the greetings of
their partisans. bttt there was tto ex-
cessive manifestation of exuberance.
‘Titey appeared. to have girdcd iltcir
lotus for serious business.
The popular belief “Wits that today
would decide the issue, but The Asso-
elated press had what it considered
certain warrant for the statement that
such would no he the case. Wot-c it
to go to a cotnplvtc show down on
‘ hands a rupture was entertained, as
«the long cablcgrunt of instructions
which Mr. Wilts received from his
government inst night would not put"
init him to accept the t-ontprmnisc
which it was understood Japan was
prepared to offer this morning, as a
result of the president‘s itcroic cttdcu-
' yore to save the conference.

bilitybf Russia conquering with her
navy at the bottom of the sea. The
Japanese seem keenly alive to the ad-
vantage of their position. Should Rus-
sia eventually decline the compromise
.they say they do not believe she can
escape the responsibility for the fail-
ure of the negotiations. it will be a
diplomatic Tsushima for Russia said
one of them this morning. Articles
10 (interned warships) and 11 (lim-
itation of Russian naval'power in the
far east) can be easily-arranged. They
were never serious obstacles. Japan is
believed only to have placed them in
the list of conditions to givo away lit
the final bargain but even Russia
would not prove obdurate. certainly
not on 10 if not that 5 and 9 were ad-
jnétablc.
it was the general understanding
before the conference met this morn-
ing that Baron Komura would sug-
gest. the compromise but the fact that
Mr. Wittc was not prepared to make a
final response might lead to a change
of program. Diplomatic maneuvering
might be the order of the day and the
question of signing the protocols
which was the ofllcial business before
the meeting might be employed to so»
cure the necessary delay” it should
be understood that the president’s
suggested line of compromise will not
appear officially before the conference.
What he has done has been done in
fact behind the scenes. lie has labor"
ed with each side separately. He has
scoured the acqualesence of Japan and
according to the general understand-
ing officially his solution would be of-
fered in the conference as tho proposi‘
lion of Japan. .
Should .iapttu formally propose the
l'OlilDl’OilliSt,’. Mr. Witte can only ask
for little to deliberate. that is to con
suit his government for the last time.
[is will give no absolute final answer
today.
This morning's adjournment is oili-
rlaiiy explained to have been title to
a development of divergence. of vviews
lit the tact of the protocol. The Rus-
sians contended that some corrections
suggested by Mr. Piattcott 0 which i
was understood the Japanese had
nurct'd had not been made. When
this situation developed it was decided
to road the protocol ltt full and decide
the disputed points lit the conference.
The work was not concluded and at
12: in the conference took a recess un
til 2:30 this afternoon.
