' Portentouth, Aug. 20. -In Ida conver-
Potion yesterday with Baron itosen,the
Russian peace, envoy, whom Ile had
called to Oyer Bay to receive an im-
vortant; communication, President Roose-
velt made the proposition, subject to the
;approval of M. do Witte and Baron Re-
een, that ho use Ids good offices to as-
certain from the Japanese Government
whether lb would be willing to make
coneession to Russia In order to avert
a continuation of the war. The Presi-
dent's suggestion has been communicat-
ed, to the Bussian Government, and. it is
believed that his tender will be courte-
ously accepted. In. tho meantime, the
status of the peace negotiations will bo
uncertain, but little hope of a favor-
able outcome is felt hero.
The Russian representativee have re-
ceived despatch from Gen, Linevach,
j. commanding the Russian foreds in
.r Manchuria, begging- in his own name
end that of Ids army, thca no peace be
made with Japan. Pm message is re-
garded by the Russians us strengthen-
ing the position they have taken in
opposition to making any more concee-
eions.
The President made it plain to Baron
Rosen that he would not take any ac-
tion without the cognizance and con-
sent of M. de Witte, to whom he sent
a message, thrOugh Baron Rosen, ex-
pressing tho hope that the great Rus-
sian 'statesman would approve the sug-
gestion which the President had put
forward, This message was delivered
°redly by Baron Rosen to M. de Witte
this morning, and the proposition of
Presideet Roosevelt was accepted, sub-
ject to the approval of the Emperor..
While M. de Witte, out of courtesy to
the President of the United States, has
felt obliged to acquiesce in Mr. Roose-
velt's pion to the' extent of mennuni.
eating it to the Czar for consideration,
1m is appereutly determined not to
ko any additional concessions on be•
ialf of Russia to bring the Japanese
to modify the terms upon which the
peace envoys belie been unable to
agree. To accept the President's sug-
gestion outright would campel M. de
according to the Russian view,
to recede from the position to which
the two plenipotentiaries of the Czar
have adhered. Personally, M. de Witte
is not inclined to go any further than
he has gone in his effort to secure a
compromise, and unless he gets

WAR TO. GO ON, SAYS HAYASHI.
Japanese Envoy in Lend= Bleres
Russia -Must Yield.
London, Aug. 20. --Baron Iheyaeld, the
Japanese Minister to Gent Britain, said
in an interview yesterday;
"If the Bemslan Goverment does not
instruct its plenipotentiaries to collude
the indemnity clime the war wilt go
on. This eeems to be the only clause
not agreed to in principle, but ample
compensation must be made to japan
in one form or other.
"When the Japanese outwit the con-
ference they made the statement that
they were not bluffing,' it will be
found hi the end that they have atot
been,
"As to the intention of the Russians,
wo have no means of knowijije. do
not know Baron Komure's plans for
Tuesday and do not know whether the
meeting then will simply be for the
purpose of signing protocols, 1 have
only been informet regarding accom-
plished facts and not as to intentions.
I think, however, that our plenimetene
tiaries should accept the amount de-
manded in some other form than that
of an indemnity, but tne principle of
our demands must be complied. with, So
lone as the sum demanded is paid. t do
not think we are going to quibble about
form."
Baron Hayashi said lie could not tin-
derstand the motive, if there was one,
of publishing; _Emperor Nicholas' mani-
festo promulgating a National Assembly
at this juncture, but he thought it sig-
nificant. On this account he saM he
held a less hopeful view than he en-
tertained two days ago.

Little Hope Entertained.
'11 the opinion of the members of the
Russian commission there is prac-
tically no hope that President Roose-
velt's offer tvill tend to bring about a
favorable conclusion to the peace
negotiations. This is not based mere -
on knowledge of the personal in-
clinations of M. de Witt and Baron
Rosen, but arises from advices receiv-
edby the Russian envoys to -day that
at a, meeting of the Czar and the State - this summer. The country is now a
