A FEELING OF RELIEF.
At the meeting yesterday Mr.. Witte

cepted this answer and did not even
suggest fixing time limit. Among them
a feeling of relief seems to be mani

know how TO wait.
Among the Russians Il is already ap-

ly those asking Russia to foot the bill
for the cost of the war, cessation OF ter

naval forces in the Far East, are con-
sidered absolutely unentertainabie. on
these points the Russian answer Is sure
10 be a non -possimus.
Nevertheless this will not end the ne
gotiations. Mr. Witte is sincerely desir-
