Russia Raised No Serious Objection to
Any Of Them Yesterday.
CRISIS is ANTICIPATED WHEN THE
CESSION OF SAKHALIN IS REACHED
Japanese Said to be Preparing to Strike With Army

II China could not find the money
some other power or powers might
do so and the road would become
bypothecated to the powers which
advanced the money as other Chi
nese roads are TO those which ad-
vanced the money for their construc-
ton. II was Witte himself who or
ganized the Russian-Chinese bank
in 1895, and who has always been
considered the real organizer of the
Chinese Eastern company. Mr.. Berg,
attorney of the Russo-Chinese bank,
which owns practically all, if not all,
of the shares of the road, is attached
to the Russian mission.
Sessions Were Amicable.
Both sessions of the conference
today are described as "amicable."
There were several slight jars, but
none of them serious. Today in the
ordinary course of proceedings the
first great stumbling block to peace
should be reached, as after Port Ar
thur and leases of Lao Tung. which
are included in article four, and
which Witte is undoubtedly prepar-
ed with slight notifications, to &C
cept, comes article fve-the cession
of Sakhalin. But 1t is by no means
certain that when this obstacle is
reached it will not be postponed UNI
I'll all articles upon which agreement
is not possible are disposed of.
Wittc Won Victory.

the evacuation of the troops should
take place concurrently. White Is
said to have contended that he was

Russia but of all neutral powers. On
the other hand the Japanese claim
not only that they did not resist the
provision for simultaneous evacua-
ton by the troops of both countries,
but the distinct credit for the strong
regarding the preserva-
ton of the territorial integrity of
China.
China's Integrity Assured.
A Japanese authority said to the
Associated Press tonight: THE in
tegrity of China is assured II the
treaty of Washington is signed, as
Japan has insisted that this point
be set forth in language that can
neither be evaded nor misunder-
stood. Japans policy which, on this
subject has always been in line with
the Hay doctrine, will find q more
vigorous expression in the treaty of
Intercede for Russian Jews.

schiff, Oscar S. Strasu. Adolph Kraus
Of Chicago, Adolph Lewisohn and
Isaac Seligmann. had a conference
last night with Witte concerning the
of the Jews in Russia.
After the conference 1t was stated
by member of the deputation that
both sides discussed the question
with much frankness and that the
result cannot but bear beneficial re-
suits. While the matter of money
