H., August 29:— When the peace picnipoteniariea start- ed for the conference room‘today, more was a recognition on both sides ,‘tiiilttlie decisive hour in the fate of the, peace conference had come. Mr. Witts seemed not in a pleasant frame otmlnd. He. had received new instruc- tions during the night reiterating the old. They left him no leeway. Unless the, new Japanese proposal that the emperor's "ultimatum" as given to President Roosevelt through Ambassa— dor Meyer (no indemnity, but the ces- . sion of half of Sakhalin without money ‘ payment beyond that for the malntcn- node of the Russian prisoners and that involved in the cession of the (‘ hincsc Eastern Railway) he considered that he had full authority to reject it flatly without reference to St. Pctersburg. Mr. Witte had considered that the cm- peror had ilguratlvliy burned his .bridges behind him in the replica he had given to the head of the American republic. His superior having thus committed himself Mr Wittc felt him- self tied hand and foot. Unless the Japanese pioposni this rooming. there- fore came strictly within his instruc- that he would atcm ding to his views not nly bo‘justiiied in but be tom- pelled to refuse it. Dipiomatlcally lic would. according to the Russian coon. sol, have that right. To a proud man like Witte, the position was. insuffer— able. He was playing a “dog's coni- edy," he said to a friend. But he is a man of passion, a man who acts sometimes upon sudden im- pulses aud he is quite capable at the critical moment of disregarding the letter of his instructions and laying them at the feet of his majesty and thus in the face of the world forcing the emperor to take the responsibility. But there are motives that might inr- pel him in the other direction. None known as well as he the hostility which exists at court against him. None knows as well as he” that the emperor's advisors are trying to poi- son his majesty’s mind against him. None knbwa as well as he that the military party is demanding a con- tinuation of the war anti that if he disobeys the letter of his instructions he will be accused of tcmporlzing, lic will be charged with being willing to make peace at any price. No picni- potonlary at such a crisis was ever placed in so difficult, a position. Court intrigue, the curse, of Russia. is again in play. Even the members of his entourage could not fathom his lnlcn- tions when he wont to tho contort-ncr today. One of them sold: “If you want my opinion it it. lif- chanccs out of tilt) that Mr. Willc will not even considcr tho .lillllllll‘til‘ prov I. poodle. i cannot believe flint ilII-y will ,» absolutely waive indemnity out] not substitute something in lieu ibcrcoi’ -which will luvolw moncy payment by Russia.

Then he will reply. Perhaps he did not himself know when he left the hotel this morning what reply he would give." Just before the conference met. the Associated Press received an intima- tion that Baron Komura held a strong card in reserve which would make it almost impossible for Mr. Witte. no matter how be viewed his instructions, to reject the second proposal without submitting it to his emperor. Should the first proposal be refused, the in— formation of the Associated Press that Baron Komnra would then play his last trumpwa wholesale proposal to arbitrate all unadjusted propositions before the conference. it is hardly conceivable that Mr. Witte would dare to refuse to place before the anthort of The Hague tri. munal such a proposition. To do so would be for him to court both fm himself and his government a univer- sul outburst of denunciation. The departure of the envoys for the conference room this morning was car iier than usual anti the botclrgucats when they came down to see them oil were plainly disappointed to find that they had already gone. The weath. or was superb. it was like an aut- umn day. The sea was bathed in a flood of golden sunshine. the air was cool and bracing and the whole land- scape breather the spirit of peace on earth and good will to men. Yet men were going to decide the issue of a grcut war. The Russians were first, off. Mr. Wittc anti Baron Dc Rosco, accompanied by Mr. Nabaukoff. lcft shortly before 9 o'clock, and Ba- ron Komura, Mr. Takabiro and Mr. Soto about fifteen minutes later. Both parties were whirled away in automo bilu cars. The secretarics of each side had preceded their principals in launches. The Japanese, it was noticed, worc loaded down with dress suit cases. cvi‘ Iicnlly containing papers and docu- ments, while Mr. Pluncon carried a single “dossier" case. 'i‘OKlO. Aug. till, 9 a. tit—The prcsr opinion is almost unanimous in con- demning the proposal to divide Sak- halin in'conslderation of a money rc- munerutiou. ’i‘he Hocbl says: “it would be on abominable disgrace itlcntical with selling tho national trcnsury. The country‘s honor and iIIth-cst forbid the continuation of tilt cout‘trucnte Should liusalu not y.ieid lupuns patience is not uliliout lim- ii the Aslti advises the brcuklug off of Illt' coul‘crcucc "owing to llusuin's un- reasonable obsilnacy.“ "The fact remains indcllhlc." it says "that .lapnn has been victorious in war “Japan is not impoverished to the cxtcui of tliirsting after a paltry sum of money to be paid under the name of prisoners' expenses." The Nit-hi Michi, which is unticr tin guidance of a diplomat of I‘twoguizcd IIbliiiy. says: “Tho idcn of dividiur Sakhalin is not to be entertained. An inefficient and unsatisfactory peace simply amounts to the. inviting of a future menace to our interests. An in» dcmnlty must also he insisted on. A strong adherence to our dcmunth might invite u rupture. but no other course is open. Under the c'irtum- stanccs ii. rupture is preferable to II patchwork pcato.

A matter that has recently been brought vary forcibly to the attention. of the selsctmsn is the opening of the ion stretch of road extending lronii him till street, Norwalk. to Fort streetI in ideal Norwaik. it. is claimed by the Selectmen, ou‘ the best of authority. that this stretch of roadway is public property and he is hacked to his stand by City Engineer 0. N. Wood and others in It position to know. The incident that has brought the matter to the attention of the select» men was the recent refusal of some residents living along the east side of the shore to allow“ Harry Rider to un- chor his boat off Oyster Shell Point. Mr. Rider sailed up the harbor and threw his anchor out on the bank at a point near Oyster Shell Point. The people of the neighborhood Mr. Rider claims. pulled up the anchor and set the boat adrift maintaining that Ri- \ei was on private DTODDI‘W Mr. Rider appealed to the cciectmen and First Selectman Devlne is making an investigation. As soon as Counsel Levi Warner returns from his vaca- tion, it will be definitely decided whe- tion the town owns the highway along the shore, or whctheg private reslv cents have a claim on it. if it is a town road, as there is every lesson to believe it is.
