THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE
Russians Wanted French, and the Jap
anese Preferred EneIish.-Finally
Agreed That Both Should Be Used.
Today's Meeting Informal.

Portsmouth. N. H, Aug. 9.-The
first session of the peace conference
has been concluded. 1t lasted about
an hour. No business was done, ex-
cept exchanging credentials and ar
ranging the program for future ses-
sions.
Shortly after the plenipotentiaries
entered the navy general store it is
learned that M. Witte and Baron Ko-
mura exchanged compliments, the
latter however using Mr.. Honda as
interpreter, as neither Baron Komura
nor Mr. Takahira are very familiar
with French, while NJ. Witte although
cannot speak it. Immediately after
this formality the ENJOYS proceeded
to exchange their credentials. The
first points to be considered were the
determination of the official language
or languages to be used, and then ta-
king up the program to be followed
each day. Russia prefers French, and
Japan prefers English as the official
language.
The ENJOYS finally agreed that the
English and French languages shall
be used Jointly, and that the official
minutes shall be recorded in both
languages. On behalf of Baron Ko-
mura and Mr.. Takahira, Mr.. Sato han
ded the Associated Press the follow
ing official statement regarding the
mornings meeting: t'Today's meeting
was informal, for the purpose of set
thing the method of procedure, ana
in this meeting it was decided that
formal meetings shall commence to-
morrow morning at $50. Sessions
will be held twice a day, one from
$50 to 1890, and the other from
800 to $50 or six o'clock in the af
ternoon, subject to such notifications
as may be agreed upon later. No Sc
rious business was transacted at his
mornings session.
