short lived Traffic managers of all
western and southern lines got to-

the announcement of the cut by the

to Chicago and 1 cent less than that
from Omaha to Minneapolis and st.

but twice instead of three times as
formerly. They will now pay Ia
cents at each end of the haul. The,
new rates will be effective August 10,

OUTLOOK GLOOMY
JAPAN's PROPOSITION is RE.
FUSED BY RUSSIA.
MAY Be PARTING OF THE WAYS
One Side or the other Must Now
Make a Move or the Extraordinary
Meeting Is Likely to End Without
Accomplishing the End Desired.

PORTSMOUTH - The Japanese
plenipotentiaries at the conclusion OF
the afternoon session Wednesday OF
the peace conference threw the card
upon the table. 1t was the dramatic
moment-the moment TO which all
the previous proceedings of the con-
ference had led. The protocols in
volving agreement upon eight of the
twelve conditions originally present
ed by Japan had been signed.
One side or the other must make
a move or the plenipotentiaries had
reached the parting of the ways. The
adversaries faced each other across
the table. OF course it was we'll
understood what would happen, but
that in way only made it more dra-
matte. Figuratively, President Roose-
welt suddenly entered the conference
room. M. White sat silent and the
move in the great diplomatic game
passed to japan. Baron Komura, in
few words, explained that Japan in
her great desire for peace was ready
to make certain notifications" of the
original articles in the hope that Rus
STA could find it possible to accept
them. He then presented in writing
to M. Witte the compromise PROPOSE.
ton which President Roosevelt had
suggested. 1t was concrete and spe-
cific, and it followed the lines out
lined in these dispatches. 1t offered
to withdraw article tx, providing for
the payment by Russia of Japan's bill
for the cost of war, on conditions that
Russia would accept article v, which
provides for the cession of the island
of Sakhalia, so modified as to include
an arrangement for the repurchase by
Russia of the northern half of the isl
and for 1,200,000,000 yen. In addition
it offered to withdraw entirely arti-
Giles XII and xii Surrender of the in
termed war ships and limitation upon
Russia's sea power in the far east.)
1t was President Roosevelt's compro-
mise, and M. Witte knew it's contents
as we'll as Baron Komura.
The question of whether he had
been "bluffing" was put to the test.
Without moments hesitation M.
White explained that the modification
proposed was merely sham, a
change of phraseologJ, diplomatic
attempt to "dorer Ia .,ilule' and ask
ed Russia to pay war tribute under
another name. He could not accept
it. He told Baron Komura Russia
wanted peace. 1t had given the proofs
in accepting every article involving
the issues upon which the war was
fought, but it could fight, and money
for tribute it would not pay, not a
kopeck. He asked Baron Komura to
withdraw all demand for tribute.
The outlook is black. Many be-
lieve it was never so black as now
The Japanese are not talking. Indeed,
they appear to be more taciturn and
more resolute than ever. The only
possible line of further Japanese con-
cession is considered to lie in the d.
minution of the amount of the pur-
chase money demanded for the north
half of Sakhalin.
