Trumpeting wildly as they ran, the
elephants frightened several automobile
parties and sent not a few horses off
the road before they reached barren

up several trainers and provided them
with mounts. These men were accom-

day:
The cession of Saghalien Island and the re-
endorsement OF Japan for the cost of the war

Russians refuse TO accept the proposed terms

Russian PopuIace Expects n Deadlock
at Portsmouth.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 23.-The eff
feet OF President Roosevelt's personal
influence toward reconciling the diff
ferences between the Russian and the
Japanese plenipotentiaries is being
watched with the closest attention
here. Though all save the highest rep
resentatives of the Foreign Office are
in ignorance of the exact status of the
negotiations. it is felt generally that
the negotiations are on the verge of
a deadlock.
The public at large has practically
reconciled itself to the apparent ne
cessity of continuing the war, but there
is only one opinion about the desirable
ity of peace, If obtainable without
humiliation. The action. therefore. of
the President is far from unwelcome.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 22.-Under
the provisions of the plan for the con-

peasant element will have an absolute
majority over the land owners and ur-
ban electors in the eastern provinces
Including ffty-one insured by a spe-
cia1 provision of the project peasants
are certain of 1853 representatives in
the Assembly.
In the provinces of Vladimir and
Moscow the urbans have an absolute
majority and in Minsk and PoItava the
land owners dominate. In the other
provinces there is no absolute major
ity. 1t will be seen that an overwhelm-
ing initial advantage is enjoyed by the
peasants.
