fire in North hall, one Of the Williston
seminary dormitories, was quoted to-
night as saying that William G. Porter,
the student who was found unconscious
in his room at the time the fire was
discovered, stated to him to-day that
he had been assaulted In his room by
an unknown young man and rendered
unconscious and that during a struggle
a lamp was overturned, thus starting
the fire. DIR. y. H. Sawyer, the principal
of the seminary. was quoted as saying
that, in his opinion, there appeared to
be little basis for the assault theory,
but that the condition Of Porter's
nerves caused him to think he had been
attacked. #
The condition of Porter was so much
improved to-day that it was deemed
best by his father, DR.. William FL. Por-

TALK or PEACE STILL
SEEMS TO Be PREMATURE
NO ECHO IN OFFICIAL CIRCLES
IN ST. PETERSBURG.

Visits Of Russian and Japanese Repre-
sentatives to Secretary Hay Attribu-
ted to Discussions of Chinese Neu-
trality-Press and Public Opinion.
However, Appears to be settling
Toward Peace-Former No Longer
Cries for Necessity of ProIongins
the War.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 7.-11:8O p. M
The renewed peace talk resulting from
the visits of Ambassador Cassini and
Minister Takahira at the state depart-
ment in Washington. and the confer.
ences Of Ambassador Durand and Mr..
Sprig- Rice. first secretary Of the Brit.
ish embassy at ST. Petersburg. with
President Roosevelt on Sunday, finds
not the slightest echo in official and
diplomatic circles at st. Petersburg,
where Emperor Nicholas oft-repeated
declaration that the war must be car
ried on to satisfactory conclusion re-
mains the keynote Of the situation
Considerable satisfaction is felt conse-
quently at the Washington telegram
stating that assurances have been Civ
en- by Ambassador Cassini that Si1
Mortimer Durand's and Mr.. Spring
Rice's presence at the White House
was in no way connected with the ter
mination of the war. This is all the
more readily believed because the dip
lomatic world is aware that Mr.. Spring.
Rice is a personal friend of President
Roosevelt. On the other hand the visits
of Count Cassini and Minister Takahira
to Secretary Hay are more easily at
tributable to discussions Of Chinese
neutrality than to negotiating terms Of
peace. The prevailing opinion among
diplomats in st. Petersburg is that
Japan and Russia would choose Franco
rather than the United States when
the time arrives to discuss terms 81
peace.
It is difficult, if not impossible, to tell
when this time will come.
The present current of press and pub
lie opinion in Russia appears to be set
ting towards peace. The newspapers
no longer proclaim the necessity Of con.
tinuing the war at all costs. Articles
appearing in the Russ and the Novoe
Vremya over the signatures Of welt
known war correspondents, who have
Just returned from Manchnrfa, criticise
the conduct Of operations there ID mn
measured terms, while These papers
editorilaly declare that hopes Of Victory
are remote. The Novoe vrenyal
bluntly remarks:
We go on buying evening editions
hoping to hear news Of Russian sue
cess, but little or nothing is done tc
