Roosevelt Praised by French.

Paris, August 21.--The morning papers devote lengthy leaders to expressing ad- mlration for President Roosevelt In his efforts to bring about peace. The papers adopt a hopeful view. yet they consider the situation extremely delicate, and claim that the tide will depend upon the influence of the President of tine United States. On the other hand the corres- pondents at the various centers of con- fiict are pessimistic with regard to peace.
 The report from St. Petersburg pertain ing to the financial position of Japan which is purported to have been submit ted to Emperor Nicholas and his minis ters to allow them to judge of Japan's re- sources in carrying on the war.
 The correspondent there adds that the usual stucV of this financial document shows that Japan with indemnity will be- come very powerful without indemnity she will be ruined For this reason he adds Russia will refuse to pay a kopec. The correspondent of the Matin at Ports mouth says that in the course of an in- terview M Witte expressed a deep sense to President Roosevelt for his efforts in behalf of peace, M. Witte adding: 'Un- happily discord remains between Russia and Japan on the two main points. Rus sia will never consent to reimburse Ja- rsn for the war or the cession of Sakha- lin I speak in the capacity as simple Russian citizen as we'll as that of a plenipotentiary. The Japanese claims are not only unjust but insulting"

cHARAcTERlZEs REPORT
 AS A PURE INVENTION.

''The report is a pure invention There is not a word of truth in 1t.
 "The national council for defense has held no meeting The Grand Duke Nicho- las never uttered statement like that attributed to him. On the contrary, the news from General Linevitch is entirely reassurring. I am not military. man and I cannot therefore give advice or express opinions on military affairs but what I know Is that the whole Russian army, and especially General Linevitch, his officers and the soldiers under his command, beg most insistently that peace should not be concluded"
 The issue will not necessarily be de- cided on Tuesday Indeed 1t Is quite like ly that there may be some delay in the answer from St. Petersburg, In which case an excuse will be found to adjourn the meetings over from day to day. The Japanese will not be impatient, but the final decision will without doubt come this week. One of the members of the Jap anese mission tonight expressed the opin- ion that whether treaty was signed or not. the conference would complete It's labors by the end of the week. "Once the basis are agreed to-, said he. few details remain to be arranged.
 He added that he did not believe any member of the mission would go to Oys- ter Bay.

 Later the premier received Sir Claud Mcdonald. to whom he granted an ex- tended interview, presumably with re- lation to the crisis in the peace conference at Portsmouth.

President Eagerly ADaits
 Decision 0n His Proposal

Oyster Bay, L. l., August 20.-No news of developments in the negotiations for peace in the far east reached President Roosevelt today. The President remained quiet at Sagamore Hill during the great CT part of the day, and the executive of fees in the village were closed except for an hour or two. A few dispatches were sent and some were received, but they are understood to have been of a routine character.
 The Presidents great effort to bring about a successful issue of the peace con- ference at Portsmouth practically was concluded with his conference yesterday evening with Baron de Rosen. The prop osition then submitted what is to be pass ed upon by Emperor Nicholas himself. On the determination reached as to that proposition. very likely will depend peace or an indefinite continuation of hostili- ties.
 It is not expected here that the Presi-

adherence of one before submitting it to the other.
 To Emperor Nicholas, the author of The Hague conference, the suggestion of arbitration which will necessarily imme- diateiy command the sympathy of public opinion of the world and will be par ticularly hard to reject. If he agrees, Japan who has not already done so. will be the more able to submit her claim to the decislon of an imperial ar bitrator. Acceptance by both sides would involve a great extension of the prin- ciple of arbitration as nations have heretofore declined to arbitrate ques- tons involving their "honor and dig nIty" Both M. Takahira and NJ Witte in the earlier stages of the conference absolutely rejected the idea of arbltra- ton and only yesterday both reiterated their disbelief in such a solution. It Is noticed however. that M. Witte's opin- ion was not expressed as strongly as 1t was last week

n PORTSMOUTH. N. IL. August 2o.-
 The Associated Press is able to
 announce that the feature of the proposition of President Roosevelt com municated through Baron Rosen to M. Witte, and transmitted by the latter to Emperor Nicholas, was based upon the principle of arbitration
 Whether the proposal contemplates arbitration of all the articles upon which the plenipotentiarles have failed to agree, or only upon the question of indemnity, cannot be stated with posi- tiveness, but It is more than probable that it relates only to indemnity or to the cession. of the island of Sakahlln. Neither Is it possible to say whether the President has yet made similar proposition to Japan. The customary diplomatic proceedings in such case would be to submit the proposal simulta- neously to both countries. but there might be an advantage in securing the

There Is ground for belief that the Japanese plenipotentIaries were cognizant of the Presidents final effort to prevent rupture of the conference, and are prepared SO far as their government Is concerned to carry into effect the proposition he sub mitted to the Russian envoys. No inti- nation of the nature of the proposition is given here.

Papers Praise curzon's Work.

London, August 21.-The resignation of Lord curzon as viceroy of India, which is the chief theme of the morning papers. was discounted by previous reports that disagreement was impending and that his resignation had been rendered, all of which has been steadily and 1atly denied by MT. Brodrick. secretary of state for India. The correspondence given in the white booh however, makes 1t clear int the situation has been an impossible one for some time. and that the breach be- tween Lord Curzon and Lord Kitchener could not have been patched up by minor concessions to Lord curzon.
 All of the editorial articles praise Lord Curzon's administration unstintedly and credit him with having done as great service in India as any of his predeces- sors, If not greater. It Is conceded that the Earl of Minto takes the reins at a difficult stage. but he Is credited with ability equal to that of any man in Eng land to quickly grasp and master diff ficult administrative work
