CRv the Associated Press

Washington, Nov 30.-Russia is un-
willing to Join the powers in a second
peace conference at The Hague until
the war with Japan is ended.
The Russian reply to secretary

name of the President to re-asSemble
in conference at The Hague ''to COM
plete the postponed work OF the nfsI
conference was delivered verbally TO
Secretary Hay today by Count cas-
SIM, the Russian Ambassador. me
am baSSadOr was requested by his gov
ernment to say that Russia heartily
accepted in principle the invitation To
a second conference at The Hague
and gladly associated herself with the
American government in its effort To
complete the mission of the first great
assembly convened under the leader
ship of the Russian Emperor. The
ambaSSa dor was further requested to
say that while the Russian govern
ment very sincerely cherished these
views, it did not consider the moment
OppOrtune for the converting of such
a conference and it therefore must
withhold its formal acceptance of such
invitation until the war in the Far
East was at an end.
Secretary Hay and Count Cassini
were in conference for nearly an hour.
The ambassador was careful to ASSURE
the secretary that his government well
coined the invitation of the President
as an additional evidence of the Amer
lean governments appreciation Of the
beneficial results of the first confer
ence and regretted the necessity of
suggesting postponement of the
work then begun work in which
the Russian government no less than
the American was keenly interested.
Secretary Hay thanked the ambas-
sador for the cordially with which the
declaration Of Russia'S adherence in
principle to the proposition had been
conveyed to the American government
and assured him he would forthwith
transmit the reply to the President.
Although different in form, the Rus
sian reply does not differ in effect from
that of Great Britain, France and the

It can be stated that this govern

ton Of contraband of war, as con-
tanned in the American and British
notes, has been presented to the en-
peror by the commission which has
been considering the subject. There
were present the ministers for foreign
affairs, Justice, marine and war. Min
lister Lamsdorff, who throughout has
been favorable to the American and
British contentious, made a strong ar
gument in support of his position and
was warmly seconded by NJ Muravieff,
minister of justice. An opinion by
Professor de Martens, professor of in
ternational law at the University of
St. Petersburg, also favorable, was
presented. No decision was reached,
but the emperor manifested his sym
pathy with Count Lamsdorff's view
and at the conclusion of the audience
urged the advisability of prompt de-
cision. In consequence of the en-
peror's utterances the foreign office
is greatly encouraged and it is be

reached. % N. s.E
