But Government Gives No Indications
OF Disseminating the War.

Of Disseminating the war.
ST. Petersburg. Jan. 9.-The confer
ences which Emperor Nicholas has
been holding with members of the
council OF the empire. NJ. Witte and
other ministers and advisers on the in
ternal and external situation have not
yet been concluded, but nothing has
occurred which would indicate that the
government is prepared to depart from
its present program Of continuing the
war to the bitter end. Nevertheless,
talk of peace was heard Sunday in
many quarters, the foundation for 1t
being ascribed to Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff's alleged position in favor
OF such a course, on the ground that,
aside from the humiliation to military
prestige involved, it would only mean
the REIMBURSEMENT of Manchuria, to
which Russia already Is formally
pledged. There is no confirmation OF
this statement OF Count Lamsdorff's
position beyond the general knowledge
that he always has belonged to the
peace party. 1t is quite probable that
the peace talk gossip has been pro-
duced by the arrival Of foreign papers,
as It receives no encouragement in re-
sponsible quarters here.
The belief which existed in excep-
tionally we'll informed diplomatic cir
cles that Japan would follow the fall
of Port Arthur with moderate peaes
propositions has not been realized. Up
to the present time nothing has reach
ed the government either through the
United States or other channels. Diplo-
mats here cannot figure out the gen.
eral lines of a treaty at this juncture
which both the belligerents could ac-
cept, but realize that II Japan makes
any sort Of offer, unless 1t is rejected
outright, as not entertainable, nego-
tiatiops would be opened; and negotia-
tons once entered upon, friends Of
both parties could use their Offices to
bring about terms. This is the only
hope for a termination Of the war
which diplomats can see.
