Russian Attitude.
st. Petersburg. Aug. 11.-Among the
officials of various departments the
Japanese peace terms were declared
to be excessive and impossible OF ac-
ceptance if they constituted Japan's
ultimatum, but generally they were re-
garded merely as basis on which to
negotiate further. 1t was argued a
settlement might still be possible If
certain features such as relinquish-
ment of the interned warships and the
limitations of Russian naval power
in the Far East were open to possible
modification.
