PEACE PLANS OPPOSED.
Belief That Russia WiH Not Take
Part IN Hague Conference.

st. Petersburg. Nov. S.-The Foreign Minister
Count Lamsdorf, has received through the
American Charge d'Affaires Mr.. Eddy the
American proposal for second peace conference
at The Hague. The note. 1t is understood, takes
pains to avoid the appearance OF desiring to
wound the susceptibilities OF Russia.
No response has yet been made, but there is
strong reason TO believe that, although Russia
cannot show offence at the proposition from the
United States at this time. inasmuch the
United States was at war with Spain when En-
perOr Nicholas proposed the original confer
ence, Russia Will decline to take part so long as
the war laats At the Foreign Office the opinioa
has been that a conference after the war would
be profitable enabling the powers to agree upon
many vexed problems. 1t Is believed, however,
that conference now would be to touch
upon questions having bearing upon the pres
ent struggle.
