SECRECY. DUE TO RUSSIANS.
japanese Give New Version of Decision
TO Withhold News.


TO withhold News.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H. Aug. 13.-The
Japanese version Of the origin and his
tory of the decs sion of the plenipoten-
tiaries to observe the strictest secrecy
regarding the proceedings OF the peace
conference differs materially from the
Russian. From an authoritative Japanese
source, it is learned that secrecy was one
OF the conditions prelminarily arranged
between the repre- sentatives of the two
countries at washington before the pleni-
potentiaries arrived in this country. One
of the chief reasons advanced by Count
Cassini. for not dc string to have the con-
ference held in Washington was that pub
lie sentiment in America was hostile TO
the Russians and that the proceedings
could not be kept out of the press. There
fore, he insisted that If the conference
were to be held in the United States, it
was essential that the most rigid secrecy
be observed. The matter was the subject
of an exchange of views between Count
Cassini and Mr.. Takahira, conducted
through medium which is not disclosed,
as result of which secrecy was agreed
upon as a condition precedent to the con-
ference.
: Moreover" said this Japanese author
ity. ..all international precedent and US
be manifestly improper for a. gerat in
ternatienal issue to be tried in the news
papers day by day and hour by hour.
Publicity would necessarily hamper and
harass the negotiations.
TT would be considered remarkable If
Mr.. de Wftte was not apprised, before his
arrival at Portsmouth, of this prelirnin-
ary agreement as to secrecy entered into
upon the particular suggestion of Count
Cassini AT any rate. when the question
was raised by our plenipotentiaries at the
first session of the conference he as
sented and has not since protested
NJ de- Witte, however, still insists
that he courts, on behalf of the Rus
slams. the widest publicity of the pro-
ceedings. He said to-day. in response
to the Japanese statements
IT am not acquainted with the UNDER
standing which may have taken place
before ] was appointed plenipoteniary
for the peace negotiations. What !
said and what repeat is that the initi-
ative of keeping the deliberations of
the conference secret was taken at the
tirst meeting by the japanese pleni-
potentiaries. 1t is true that the Rus
sian plenipotentiaries made no opposi-
tion TO it. because the Russians did not
come to America to defend the rights
OF the press. There are so many differ
ences on serious Questions between
Russia and Japan that we would not
undertake to add more or less import
ant affairs. What / wish to have clear
is that, IL the Japanese have nothing to
the contrary, am ready at any mo-
ment to publish the full text of all the
documents concerning the peace con-
ference, as well as the record OF the
proceedings"

CHICAGO. Aug. 13.-Former Senator
John NJ. Thurston, who is a guest at the
Auditorium Annex, en- route to- Washing
ton from the Pacific Coast, said to-day
that he had completed bill of exceptions
to the trial of United States Senator
Mitchell by Federal jury, in Portland
Ore, and would appeal the case to the
United States Supreme Court.
One of the many exceptions which for
ner Senator Thurston has incorporated in
his bill for an appeal and a reheafing OF
the case by the Supreme Court is that
Senator Mitchell was denied a jury trial
by plea and abatement.
Public opinion has been so much
aroused over the publicity of graft said
Thurston. "and over the reports of graft
ing all over the country, that when a man
against whom charges of graft have been
made goes before a jury the minds OF
the jurors are already prejudiced against
him.

HOPEFUL TONE IN RUSSIA.
Growing ChccrfuIness Is Noticeable In
Oficial Quarters.


ST. PETERSBURG. Aug lS-The Rus
sian capital Is In the dark regarding the
meaning of the prolonged conference at
Portsmouth on Saturday. The purport OF
M, de Whites message received here has
been impaired only to a few officials.
Nevertheless in official quarters to-day
there is a certain feeling of hopefulness
noticeable, which is not altogether ac-
counted for on the ground that thus far
there has been no rupture and that the
terms are still under discussion, with a
chance of an. understanding being
reached
The only comment vouchsafed officially
was that M. de Wittes answer seemed
not altogether unacceptable to the Japa-
nese, else the conference would have end
ed then and there. Count Lamsdorff, who
is keeping in close touch with the EN-
peror, went again to Peterhoff to-day
bearing the latest messages, but appar-
emily there were no important develop
ments here affecting the negotiations.
The Emperor has seen the other Minis
ters also during the last two days, but
has found no occasion to summon a
council Of Ministers, and M. de Whites
course seems to be meeting with his full
approval
All official dispatches received from
Portsmouth after being deciphered are
forwarded to the Emperor, whose COM
ment and suggestions thereon are some
times expressed in marginal notations.
There is reason to believe that no man
ifesto on the subject of national assem-
bly, will be issued until definite news is
received from Portsmouth, so that If the
peace negotiations fail the promise Of an
assembly and the publication of the re-
jected Japanese terms, made simulta-
neously, viii combine to stir up the pa
triotism of the country.
