conference remains to be written. No
one yet knows exactly what considera-
tons induced the Toxic government to
waive all demands for cash. While it
is known the president was continuing
his labOrs TO the last moment it is not
possible TO make any definite state
ment as TO whether at the end he ad-
viscd Japan 10 forego entirely the cash
demands.
Held Tint Opinion.
In can be stated. however on author
ity, of the Japanese commission, he
was originally of the opinion that
Japan should not demand an indem-
nifty and 1t is therefore possible he may
have urged this view at Toxic when
he found Russia was obdurate. In his
communication to Emperor Nicholas
through Ambassador Meyer, last week,
while the Japanese were insisting upon
indemnity remuneration for the cost of
the war it is known he urged upon the
car the expedienCy OF accepting
compromise by which the redemption
price of the north half of Sakhalin
sould be determined by some sort of
impartial board or commission.
