satisfaction Of the Japanese demands for
reimbursement for the cost of the war
aud at the Same time enable Russia TO
face the world with the declaration that
she had not coded a foot OF territory or
paid Il kopeck of war tribute to the VIC
tor.
The solution is the one which has here
tofore been described In the Associated
rress dispatches as the natural and log
icnl compromise. Terscly stated. 1t con-
sists In an agreement by Russia to repur-
chase possession of either all or half OF
the island of Sakhaln, now In the mill
tnry occupation of Japan, for u sum. the
amount of which, II tho two countries
cannot agree, shall be decided by some
method Of arbitration hereafter TO ne
determined. IA
Japan Willing.
The purchase money, together with the
SIM Japan would obtain from the ces-
sion of the Chinse Eastern Railroad and
the maintenance of the Russian prisoners
| in Japan, would, 1t lis estimated, about
| equal the amount claimed by Japan as
| her bill for the cost of the war. Prac-
| tically therefore, the solution offered by
the President involves recession by Japan
upon article five 0hc cession of Sakhalin)
| and recession Dy ftuSSltt upon al tiSlc i1t'ie
| Indemnity.
II seems practically certain, though this
cannot be affirmed positively, that the
President to- day was able to give M
Z. Witte substantial assurance that Japan
would be willing to accept such com.
PROMISE This is apparently supported
by the authoritative Japanese statement
madc to the Associated Press tonight 4
the reply to a question as to whether
Japan had not decided to make substan.
tial concessions.
1T all depends upon Russia.
