Portsmouth they are proceeding actively
through President Roosevelt at Sycamore
Hill. He Is in practically constant COM
munication with the St. Petersburg and
Toxic government. BY both OF the warning
nations hts good Offices have been sought
and his efforts to bring their plenipotenti-
aries into accord and thus prevent failure
of the peace conference are unremitting.
o Early In the day the president had an
extended conference with Baron Kaneko,
the recognized confidential agent of the
Japanese government in this country.
Neither the president nor Baron Kaneko
would discuss the nature OF the interview.
While the baron's, expressed views of the
peace negotiations were not optimistic, he
left distinct impression that the last word
by no means had been spoken, and hope of
successful issue Of the conference still was
strong. He protested that Japan had no
wish to do anything to humiliate Russia,
but expressed the belief that the Japanese
terms were quite Reasonable and that no
further concessionsS~ouid be made.
y After the departure OF Baron Kaneko,
Presidency Roosevelt was engaged with
Acting Secretary Barnes for two hours

Inc DISCLAIMER or the Russian Foreign
once of the statement purporting to have
been made yesterday by Count Lamsdorff,
minister OF foreign AFFAIRS, declaring that
Russia would pay no indemnity to Japan
under any guise or make any cession OF
territory, was received by the president
with satisfaction 1t Indicated no willing
ness on the part OF Russia to accede to
Japan's terms as to indemnity. but the
disclaimer is regarded as leaving the way
open for further discussion of terms that
may lead to a satisfactory conclusion of
the conference.
Whether the negotiations now being oon-
Quoted through President Roosevelt will
have reached such state by the hour
at which the conferees are to reassembe
Mt Portsmouth tomorrow to enable
the plepipotentiaries to proceed with i'm
portant considerations is regarded as
doubtful. II appears to be likely that the
{enyoys will meet and after a perfunctory
session, adjourn their deliberations unit
Monday or possibly until Tuesday
This adjournment will afford them ample
time to receive and consider instructions
from their respective, governments which

PIERRE, s. D., Aug. 25.-(Special up to
the present the State Taxing board has
done nothing in the way of listing private
car systems for taxation in this state. At
the late meeting of the Board Of Review
this matter was brought UP and a resolu-
ton carried for the investigation OF the
number Of such cars operating in the state
and the manner Of taxation followed on
such property in other states Under the
new revenue law the board has until De-
cember TO investigate and place on the
tax lists any property which has escaped
taxation, and It is the intent OF the board to
take some steps toward collecting the
proper revenue from this source, and II is
more than likely that this class will yet get
on the list this year and certainty that It
will be placed on in the future assessment
