Portsmouth, Aug. 1.-The crisis in the peace conference has been reach ed and pessimism is again the note. But the darkest hour is just before the dawn and there is still hope. Pre- dictions of e. fHaI rupture tomorrow certainly will not be justified unless Baron Komura figuratively picks up his hat and announces that it is useless to proceed further. M Witte at least will not be precipitate.
 At tomorrow's session, after article two Cthe limitation of Russia's sea power in the far east) and article 12 (hshing rights on the Russian littoraD, are disposed of. he will favor an ad- journment until Monday to hear the last word from St. Petersburg. The pessimism tonight is based upon the fact that no progress was made to- day.
 The exchange of views at the morn ing session on article enine (remuner- ation for the cost of the War), showed at once that the envoys were as far apart as the poles and it was passed over. Article ten (the surrender of the interned Russian waTships) was also passed, not, in the opinion of one of the envoys when the Associated Press correspondent saw him tonigh-, be- cause it could not have been arranged but because within the shadow of the two main points in dispute hanging over the conference, both sides were cautious and preferred to postpone it 10 the end. Article two Ghe Hmita- ton of Russian sea power in the far easD is also adjustable after modified ton, and article twelve will present no difficulties. So that tonight the sit uation was practically where it was when M. Witte last Saturday present. ed the Russian reply with its non posisumus to articles five and nine (the indemnity and Sakhalin).
 The only chance now is compromise Russia to yield Sakhalin and Japan the indemnity. Neither will yield both and perhaps Japan at the final show of hands will yield neither.
 M. Wit,e, under the imperial dicta- tion contained in his instructions be- fore he left St. Petersburg can agree neither to pay war tribute nor cede a loot of Russian soil. St. Petersburg therefore, in the last resort, remains to be heard from. Doubtless this is the reason why he favors a postpone ment tomorrow over Sunday. Baron Komura probably will welcome an ad- jOurnment of two days iii order that he also may lay the situation before his government for its final decision.

No very great hope was VouchSafed in the Japanese camp. We are not bluffers,'' said MT. Sato and from an authoritative source the Associated Press received a distinctively bad inn preSsion regarding the outlook. It was coupled, however. with an expression of the hope that if it developed that the conference was going to pieces, President Roosevelt might again step in.
 very important conference oc- cvrred in M. Witte's rooms shortly be- fore midnight. There were present Baron De Rosen, the other Russian envoy. and MT De Martens. General Yermaleff. MT. Polotiloff. MT Shipon and Captain Boussin, the five Russian delegates. It is the first time a full meeting of the plenipotentiaIies had been held since the conference began.
 It can be stated that the individual views of the members of the Russian mission differ as to what point should be yielded if a compromise is to be offered. Some favor the surrender of Sakhalm, others an indemnity. None are ready to give up both points.
 The Associated Press learns at mid night that during the conference the Japanese envoys several times mani fested a sort of desire to couple tho consideration of the disputed points. This might indicate a willingness to bargain at the end. The Russians watched this move with great interest waiting for their adversaries to press them but without showing their hands. MT Sato is quoted as saying that the Japanese will tomorrow propose again the taking up of the articles which have been passed over. If that is the case the Japanese may have decided to openly propose joint consideration.

PEACE MAY BE FORGED.
The Nations May Supplement the . Portsmouth Proceedings.

Paris, Aug. 17.-Notwithstanding of ficial reticence regarding the exercise of mediatory influence for peace by neutral powers it is the general inn pression in well informed quarters here that pressure is being brought to bear both directly on the plenipotentiaries and in Tokio and St. Petersburg and the rapidity of the negotiations so far is looked on as a result of these in fiuences.
 Pessimistic advices emanating from other capitals are regarded as urwar- ranted, especially fn financial circles, where it is the general view that the Portsmouth conference will be crowned with success. The remarkable firm ness of Russian stocks and their ten dency to rise in value show the depth of this feeling.

Increase
Total
.s11.6S7.56G.5S


 The total with the assessments Cn Improvements will bring the whcle a:s- sessments of patented mines up t0 about S15,000.000. This is an increase of nearly $11,000,000 over the amount re- turned by the county boards Coehise will be affected more than any other county in the territory, the increase in that county alone being more than S3,0OO,O0O
 After this had been disposed of the board took up the matter of city lots. The returns from the counties were permitted to stand except in the case or the returns from Tina where the assessment was made on thirty-Seven and a, half per cent of the valuation. Some inquiry was made. resulting in the showing that taxpayers there were understood to have returned a valua- tion considerably lower than the ac- cided to raise the per cent of assess ment of Pima county lots to fifty. This will make a difference of $2O0. .OO0 in that item alone in Pima
 While the question of increasing the assessment was under discussion Au- dltor Hill said that he had gone over this matter with the assessor of Pima 'county and he had further written to him about it. He read the reply of the assessor in which he not only defend ed hlS assessment as being fair but he took a fling at the board, saying that he believed the assessment of the Pima county lots would compare very favorably with the assessments the territorial board had made on the rail- roads.
 The greater part of the morning ses- sion was given to a hearing of Charles G. Wilson and Arthur c. Ide of Chi cago attorneys, the former represent Ing the Armour Refrigerating Car line and the latter the Swift line, in an ar gument against the assessment of their cars, claiming that there was no au- thority under the law for making the assessment Attorney General Clark replied that this line of argument was useless but that the board would be willing to listen to an argument showing that the assessments were too high. After that MT. Wilson said that his company did not have on an aver age as many cars in this territory as had been put in the list, 1000; the average he said would not be more than seventy-five. Neither were the cars worth as much as they had been listed by the board. Mr. Ide present ed the same argument in behalf of his company.
 Though no action was taken by the board there was an understanding that material reduction in the assess ments would be made. The assess mentS had been made at the June meeting for the first time on property of this class. They amounted on the cars of Swift, Armour and several other special lines to about $SOO, 900 It was supposed at the time that the taxation of the cars would be resist ed so that the assessment was re- garded as a sort of an experiment The whole amount will probably be reduced to s100,0OO. It has not been so very long since the taxation of Pull mans was begun. At first the com pany refused to pay, denying the right of the territory to make an assessment The tax collector of this county found it necessary to attach one of the cars and since then there has been no con- troversy on the subject.

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, Nov. 29.-The pace of
speculation was hated in today's stock
market partly as a natural reVulsion
from the volatile rise of the last few
lays in special stocks and partly from
4 narrowing of the resources in the
money market which exercised some
constrant uDon speculative activity.
The effect of the revu!sion from excess
sivc buoyancy was pronounced in the
southern iron group and some other
metal industrials. The railroad list
moved but narrowly. The general list
was not free from evidence of de-
preston and violent fluctuations con-
linued to characterize the industrial
department. Lead especially made y
further advance of 6 IL. Tennessee
Coar and Sloss on the other hand
sIumped in a way to cause apprehen-
sion Of disastrous consequences TO the
speculative holders OF the stock.
here was q fear that the contest in
the open market. if there was one. had
been completed by the acquisition of d
majority of holdings of Tennessee Coal
and that the market for the minority
of the stock would be allowed to
take care of itself. The persistent
heaviness of the United States Steel
stocks in face of the movement in
other iron and steel industries is in
spite of the rumOr industriously cir
| culated with control of the independ-
| ent companies sought on behalf OF
| that CORPORATION. The rumors con-
| corning the group continued. and the
| shares showed considerable resiliency.
The assertions of passing of control OF
National Lead also persisted. and the
movements of Cotton Oil and Virginia
| Carolina Chemical were coupled with
| talk of an intended merger. The decla-
ration of another ten per cent. extra
| divident on Lackawanna was regard
ed as explanatory of the extraordinary
price Level at which the stock has
been held. but it's general effect was
not discernible. The unsettlement was
| accentuated in the latter dealings
both the furry in call money and st
