FEAR PEACE WILL, FAIL.
Pessimistic Fesling Prevalent a
Portsmouth-First Nesting
Il Held.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 1O.-Opin-
ion as to the outcome of the peace ne
gotiations among those who are con-
gregated here to watch the proceed
ings has become decidedly pessimistic.
This is due to the growing conviction
that Japan's conditions will not prove
as moderate as were at one time anti
cipated and, especially in the matter Of
indemnity, may preclude the possible
ty of their acceptance by the Russian
ENJOYS as q basis of negotiation.
The first meeting Of the plenipoten-
tiaries Wednesday was of an entirely
informal character. d.
1t was decided to hold two daily ses-
sions, one in the morning, beginning
at $3.50, and one in the afternoon, be-
ginning at three. To avoid delay and
give the plenipotentiaries and delegates
time for consultation between sessions,
it has been arranged that luncheon will
be served at the navy yard and the
ENJOYS upon leaving their quarters in
the morning will not return until the
afternoon session adjourns. Three Sec
retaries for each side will be in attend
ance to draw up the protocols of the
meetings, which will be written in both
English and French.

grown in size, and that the general vi
