There is what is regarded rs abso-

ment that NJ. White is not referring the
questions regarding the various arti-
clcs to st. Petersburg or Peterhof. If
the time should ever arrive, however,
when in his judgment concession should
be made upon either of the two main
propositions IL can be regarded as Ger
tain that he would consult the Empcr-
or before committing himself. 1t is
known that he shares the Emperor
view that peace is impossible for Rus
STA upon the basis of indemnity or ces-
sion of territory and in all his public
uttcrances he continues absolutely I'M
compromising upon those points. All
the indications from Japanese sources
are that Baron komura IS equally firm
and that the payment Of the "cost OF
the war" and the cession of Sakhalin
are conditions sine qua non.
