81. Petersburg, Aug. 24.-The Asso-

anl authority for declaring again,
with increased emphasis. that Russia
will never consent to payment of in-
demnity to Japan.
Furthermore. the A sociated Press
has the same reasons and authority for
the declarat ons that if Japan with

would practically be assured, as the
Russian attitude on the other three
points. including the cesaion or SAX.

Witte Rejects RooseveIt's Com
promise Scheme
ADJOURNMENT UNTIL SATURDAY
Japan Offers to Sacrifice Two Articles
AltOgetIler--President Roosevelt
Still Busy

The outlook is black, many Believe
it was never so black as tonight. The
Japanese are not talking Indeed, to
night they appear more taciturn and
more resoIute than ever The only
possible line of further Japanese con-
cession is considered to lie in the dim
| mutton of the amount of purchase
money demanded for the north half
of Sakhalin. The decision rests, there
| fore, as it has from the first, with
| Russia. Unless the emperor agrees to
| yield between now and Saturday, the
end is likely to. come on that day. In
dications from Peterhof seem to in
| dicate a flrmer determination TO yield
neither territory or indemnity.
Witte is Firm.
| The long instruction received last
night, while not reply to the com
munication of President Roosevelt
given to Witte yesterday afternoon,
| was of character almost completely
TO destroy the hope that it will be pos
sible for Witte to satisfy the Japanese
demand. Witte himself has been
lqnoted as saying he would not If or
dered to do so by the emperor sign
Ia treaty involving the payment Of a
copeck
But 1t must be horne In mind that
| Witte in the negotiations is not a free
| agent. He represents his emperor.
iIf he were absolutely free this con-
ference would not fail He would
Il make peace. He sympathizes with
the solution offered BY the president,
but his hands are tied and unless he
receives an imperial command, he
cannot -move
Still Room For Hope.
Black as the prospect appears to-
night, however. failure Of the negotia-
tions is not certain The Russian
camp is pessimistic to man, but
they all know the quick and startling
changes of front that somtimes take
place at Peterhof. And there are
factors in the situation which might
effect one of those sudden and mex
plicabe changes in the emperor's at.
