Portsmouth, N H, Aug. 2S.-The life
of the peace conference seems to hang
by thread, but the thread will not be
broken to-day. After conference last
ing three quarters of an hour, between
Mr.. Takahira and Mr.. Witte, in the
latter's room in the hotel annex, Sunday
night, the announcement of postpone
ment was made. Mr.. Witte explained
that Mr.. Takahira had told him that no
new instructions had reached him from
Toxic, and fearing none might be re-
ceived before the meeting scheduled for
this afternoon, he had suggested the
propriety of postponing the meeting un-
til Tuesday To this Mr.. Witte said he
had readily assented. Mr.. Takahira
made the following statement:
Not Hopeless, But Almost.
"Inasmuch as this conference was in
itiated by the friendly offices of your
president, after consultation, we felt
that we should be cautious about termi-
mating its labors."
Pressed as to whether he regarded the
situation as hopeless, Mr.. Takahira
said:
mo, not hopeless, but almost hope
less"
1t is Up to Japan.
But to save the situation now, Japan
must speak If, on Tuesday, she has
nothing to offer. all is over. Mr.. Witte,
even if he would, is powerless to take
a new step. His hands are tied. He
row occupies the role of an imperial
messenger who transmits his masters
orders to Baron Komura, and Baron
komura turns them over to Toxic for
the response. The conference room has
ceased to be place for negotiations. 1t
is simply the place where the emperors
of the warning countries exchange their
communications by the hands of their
cnvoys. And upon the point of in
demnity or reimbursement Of ''fras de
guerre" under any disguise, Emperor
Nicholas has given the japanese en-
perer his last word.
Russia is Adamant.
Mr.. Witte accepts it as final, and in
writing Informed the Japanese plenipo-
tentiaries that Russia would have moth
ing further to say upon this subject.
Russia would cede half of Sakhalin and
pay the cost of the maintenance of the
Russian prisoners, but that was all.
Emperor Nicholas had given the same
response to the president through Am
kassador Meyer. The Russians gen
orally seem not displeased with the sit
uation. They believe Japan has been
automatically meneuvered into corr
ner from which, if she now persists
in her attempt to exact tribute with the
alternative of continuance of the war,
she can not extricate herself before the

in the swim, on Thursday afternoon
N. P. Cassavant, cook at the Crystal
Lake house, took lake trout weigh
ing 1873 pounds. These are but few
of the really fine catches made in the
lake this season.
Considering the really fine sport
furnished by the bass fishing here in
the middle and late summer, it is
doubtful if any lake in the state fur
nishes greater variety of excellent
fishing than Crystal Lake.
Coming to the matter of accommo-

companying cuts to see that enter
tainment is of the best as we'll as the

game that requires little preparation.
With a sharp stick a strip Of ground
about nine feet wide and about twenty
feet long is marked off. This represents
the drawbridge Of the castle Of Sir
Montgomery Of Skye. One Of the
players is the warder of the castle
gate. He stands on the bridge. At the
other end Of it stand the players, who
represent foemen desiring to enter the
castle.
They can only go on the bridge one
by one. The foemen wheel their imag-
mary steeds and gallop up and down,
making feints at charging to bewildr
the warder, till suddenly one Of them
spurts and races up the bridge. Once
he is there he must not run of the
bridge again, but he may dodge the
warder in any way he pleases so long
as he stays on the bridge. He may run
zigzag or retreat or duck or do any
thing else that may enable him to slip
past the guardian Of the castle.
The warder must touch the foeman
three times before he can claim that
he has made a capture. If he does not,
the captured foe becomes warder and
the old warder joins the b~esiegers.
