DECLARES DONNA To Be
A GREAT HUMBUG

Chicago, Aug. 22.-A special cable
gram to the Daily News from st. Pc
tersburg says:
Opinion in this city declares that in
the matter of the new national assem-
bly, the mountain has brought forth a
mouse.
The manifesto has disappointed all.
The Novoe Vremya, however, while
admitting that the douma is sadly de-
fioient in real power, finds solace in
the fact that half loaf is better than
no bread, that the Rubicon has been
crossed and progress having become
positive, is therefore imminent. But
the leading zemstvoists are respondent
and think their hopes of a pacific solu-
ton Of the nations needs have been
blighted.
Prince Wolkensky, whose opinion
has great weight with the Russian peo-
pie, said:
"The sincerely conceived, secretly
elaborated and stealthily proclaimed
douma is humbug. It deceives no.
body and will preoipitate revolution.
The ukase outlining its scope excludes
from the franchise professional men,
laborers, shopkeepers, the entire mid
die class and the Jews. Twenty mil
lion Of city population get less num-
Der OF representatives than 1900, 900
iuiterate Muzhiks, because the latter
are under official guidance.
''parody OF Popular Assembly,"
Odessa, with 100000 inhabitants.
and Riga, with 800, 900, have only one
representative each. though the ma
jority Of their people are Christians.
Cities in which Jews form a majority
are denied representation altogether.
Jews are forbidden to reside in the
country and thus they are excluded
from the douma. Neither Poland. Fin.
Land, nor the Caucasus il represented.
1t is not necessary for bills to pass
the douma to become laws and the
ministers Of the czar are not bound to
answer to the members Of that party.
Its minutes and its debates are secret.
These regulations make the douma a
mere parody Of q popular assembly.
while preserving intact the autocracy.
which the representatives of the peo.
pie must swear to uphold. Thus the
whole reform 10 ephemeral, like the
zenstvo and judiciary reforms, which
the autocracy granted and then sbro-
gated"

fOTtemOuGbn, n. H., aug. 15.-I0e
Associated Press il now in q position
to reveal substantially the suggestion
Of President Roosevelt for breaking the
existing deadlock in the peace negotia
t1ons and rescuing the conference from
failure.
His solution would ingeniously per.
NIT the Satisfaction Of the japanese
demands for reimbursement for the
cost Of the war and at the same time
enable Russia to face the world with
the declarations that she had not ceded
a foot of territory or paid kopeck Of
war tribute to the victor.
The solution, tersely stated, consists
imam agreement by Russia to ~repur.
chase possession Of either all or hall
Of the island Of Sakhalin, now in the
military occupation of Japan, for q
sum the amount Of which, if the two
countries cannot agree, shall be de-
cided by some method Of arbitration
hereafter to be determined.
The purchase money, together with
the sum Japan would obtain from the
road and the maintenance Of Russian
prisoners in Japan, would, it is esti-
mated, about equal the amount claim.
ed by Japan as her bill for the cost Of
tho war. Possibly, therefore, the so.
luton offered by the president involves
recession by Japan upon article 5 (the
cession Of Sakhslin,) and the recession
by Russia upon article 8 Indemnity.
japanese Statement.
1t seems practically certain, though
this cannot be affirmed positively, that
the president has been able to give M.
Witte substantial assurance that Japan
would be willing to accept such com.
promise.
This is apparently supported by the
authoritative Japanese statement made
to tho Associated Press in reply to q
question az to whether Japan had not
decided to make substantial conces-
sions: Il all depends upon Russia. -
A high authority believes it impos-
sible that final rupture can como TO-
day, no matter what the character Of
tho emperor's final instructions to M.
Witte may be.
"If the negotiations can be pro-
longed into next week." he said, $50

between the conferees when they re
convene this afternoon at Portsmouth.
Events Of Importance succeeded each
other rapidly here yesterday. On an
early morning train Baron Kaneko, q
confidential representative in this
country of the Japanese government,
arrived in Oyster Bay quite unexpect-
eddy. He has general invitation to
visit the president at any time, and
was received as soon as he arrived at
Sycamore Hill
That he was the bearer Of important
information is known, but the nature
of his message is not disclosed. He re-
NAMED with the president three-quar-
tiers of an hour. At the conclusion OF
the conference the baron declined even
to discuss the mission, although he
politely expressed regret at his inabil-
ity to enlighten his interrogators.
Baron kaneko's Opinion.
Surrounded by half dozen newspa.
per men he talked with apparent frank
ness, but his words were not luminous
with information. He expressed the
opinion, which he was careful to note
was simply his own, that Japan had
made every concession in the confer
ence that a victorious power could be
expected to make, and that the Japan
ESQ people would resent any serious re-
cession by the ENJOYS from the position
they had taken.
Following Baron Kaneko's visit,
President Roosevelt had his acting Sec
rotary, Mr.. Barnes, with him for two
hours. In addition to the matter which
the baron had presented to him, the
president received and considered an
accumulation Of dispatches and letters.
Late in the day important messages
were received from Portsmouth, the
responses to which occupied the presi-
dents attention for considerable time
Not the slightest indication Of the
character Of the correspondence wal
permitted to become public. The pres.
ident, acting as intermediary between
the two warning governments, feels
that secrecy is even more incumbent
upon him than though the matter re.
lated wholly to him personally or to
the United States.
