The )tussiau.Guvertutent's denial of
the reports that it had formulated
the conditions on tthich peace might
be concluded wee literally and tech-
nically true, but there is the Ixtat
aulhurite for assorting that Russia
stated the conditions she coeld nut
r►ccept, namely, the pay ment of an
indemnity and the cessation of terri•
tory. Count Lanndorff, All/lister of
Foreign Affairs, eollllaull(cated what
stay bo called Russia's negative pro-
posals to the French Government a
day or two ago. To France. in-
deed, belongs the credit of proumpt-
ing'her• ally to enter upon negotia-
tions, and there is no denying the
powerful influence of the peace cam-
paign opened by the French pleas
following the failure of the Russian
loan in France.
Diplomat le circles express the
greatest praise of Count Latasdurlt's
astuteness "in opening the negotia-
tions, as he thereby reserves a tield
for compromise. I'or instance,
should the Japanese insist upon an
indemnity, Russia would be able to
otter to recede the southern portion
of the Island of Saghalien. It is
