DUKES. FOR Peace

st. Petersburg, April 5.-A meeting
of all Of the members Of the grand
ducal circle was held in the palace of
the Grand Duke Vlsadimir, at which
the czar was present and at which the
question of war or peace was thorough.
ly discussed.
A majority Of those present favored
the beginning Of peace negotiations.
but the Grand Duke Vladimir and his
intimate associates stated that in their
opinion it would be far better to con-
tinuethe fighting at least for the pres.
ent. This view apparently met the
approval of the czar, who, in an i'm.
passionate speech, declared that he
could not conceive how any Russian
would be willing to abandon the filed
to an army that could yet be conquered.
Another conference is planned for
the near future.
The newspaper Slove, which is usu.
ally inspired by the Grand Duke Alex
ander Michaelovitch, prints an article
in which it sets forth the necessity for
immediate peace in order to give Rus
sia time for the preparation Of new
and successful campaign. The news
paper declares that Russia must ulti.
mtaely defeat Japan. retake Port Ar.
thur, reestablish her mastery Of the
Pacific, and this she can not do except
as the result Of q new and entirely
fresh s}Iuggle.

PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Preparing for the Big sattIe-on to
harbin.

The signs point to another clash be-
tween Japanese and Russians this
week unless the latter see fit to retire
toward Harbin. Field Marshal Oyama.
after time of brief reorganization Of
his main army during which small
bodies have been skirting the Russian
tanks, has evidently begun another ad.
vance Of his entire force with wings
far extended. 1t will be for the Rus
SLAMS to fight or fall back.
At several points north Of Tie Pass
the Russians have thrown up heavy
entrenchments, and in the positions
most easily defended there will no
doubt be stubborn resistance. 1t is
hard to say whether a permanent
stand can be made. but there are slight
reasons for believing that such will
be the case. Although reinforcements
are reported to have been reaching
General Linevitch daily, he is still nu-
merically inferior, and, unless better
generalship or stronger fighting quail
tiles are shown than in the past, it
would seem that there will be nothing
to do but sound the retreat again.
Oyama Is operating to the west, and
there is always the fear that he will
cut the Russian communications. 1t
has not been given out by the Rus
slams whether they hope to hold their
present ground, or intend to delay the
Japanese advance only in order to get
things in shane in Harbin and DrO-
vide for protecting the line Of COM
munications from that city toward the
west. But their intentions heretofore
do not seem to have cut much figure,
and for some time to come their move
ments will, as in the past, probably be
determined by what Oyama succeeds
in doing.
