SPECIALIZATION As 10 Result.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 28.-The
Associated Press has definite knewl-
edge that several days ago the presi-
dent was authorized on behalf of ia
pan to waive all claim for indemnity
or reimbursement for the cost of the
war and to ceGe back to Russia the
north half of Sakhalin island, leaving

to the arbitration of a mixed commits
sion This statement was transmit
ted to the Russian emperor through
the American ambassador at st. Pc
tersburg. An Associated Press tele-
gram announced that the cars reply
was partially responsive" There is
reason to believe that this PROPOSE
tion on behalf of japan was not
clearly understood at Peterhoff, but
was supposed to be revival of the
effort of Japan to secure an indemni.
~ under the guise of purchase money
for the fraction of Sakhalin.
1t is believed the conference which
was held last evening between Messrs
Witte and Takahlra was for the pur-
pose of clearing up the situation, ano
II is not now improbable that follow
ing the precedent of its ally, Great
Britain. Japan will agree to settle the
whole question of redemption pro-
ceeds of Sakhalin as the degger bank
troubles were adjusted. The Japan.
csc contention is that Sakhalin Island
IS defacto Japanese territory and that
Russia has no means at her command
for it's present recovery. 1t IS under
stood that Mr.. Witte has accepted
this view in principle and expressed
the judgment that Russia should pay
something in the nature Of redemp
ton money. 1t is believed that the
Toxic council, which is in session
this morning. is considering this phase
of the question.

to-day says:
THE Japanese conditions for peace
would only be acceptable II a Japan

burg and a Japanese army was oceu-
plying Moscow. Russia will not bow
to the Japanese yoke to fulfill Presi-
dent Roosevelt's desire to guarantee
the American creditors Of Japan and
to cover herself with glory as a peace
maker. Japan needing peace seeks it
through an intermediary of her
friend, President Roosevelt, ana
makes exorbitant demands, while the

act the consent of Russia. After long

seem that we are on the eve of what

Richard Bartholdt president Of the
American group, presented report
on behalf OF the United States, in
which he said:
Mr.. BsrTholdt's Address.
The status Of our common cause
On the United States never justified a
more favorable report than II does at
tie present time. Two causes have
mainly contributed towards this re-
v.val OF interest in the peace move
ment: the meeting of the Interparlis-
,no7fsry Conference on American soil,
ana me deep-gOing disgust with that
barbarous war In the Orient. Over
200 members OF the American Con
gress have now Joined che Interpar-
hamentsry group. Mass meetings
have been held in nearly all large
American cities during the year which
declared in favor Of the arbitration
treaties then pending in the Senate.
These treaties failed, Il is true, not
however, because of any objection to
The principle Of arbitration, but be-
cause of their indefnitness which
finally compelled the President to
abandon the treaties. Under the
Hague Convention he alreadys enjoys
larger measure Of discretion than the
new treaties, in their amended form,
would have conferred upon him. The
failure OF these treaties may prove
blessing in disguise. Ii justifies the
hope that the outcome will be the ap-
proyal. by the Hague Convention, Of
Z treaty wider in scope and yet more
ldehnite In detail.
Il Is with pardOnable pride we

that Il was left TO an American Presi-
