MEETING
AGAIN DEFERRED
Conference Scheduled for
This Afternoon Postponed
Until Tomorrow
PROTOCOLS ARE NOT COMPLETED
Special to rhe Evoning Journal

Portsmouth. n. H.. Aug. 22-Ihe
peace envovs of Russia and Japan did
not meet this afternoon at the Kittery
Point Navy Yard as was scheduled
after a recess of three days. 1t was
decided TO postpone the meeting until
Tomorrow because Of the failure of
the secretaries to complete the
procotols.
The result of President Roosevelt's
effort to save the peace conference from
failure remains in suspense No direct
reply to the Presidents proposition
communicated by NJ Witte yesterday
had come from Emperor Nicholas last
night. but other advices received from
St. Petersburg indicate that the
Emperor and his councillors are un-
shal<en in their determination neither
to cede territory. nor pay war tributes.
What the President is doing on the
japanese side remains as deep a mys-
terry as ever. Little light is shed upon
the visits Of Baron Kanel1o to Oyster
Bay. The japanese do not even admit
ithat he is their medium OF communi-
cation with the President. They go no
farther than to reiterate that Mr..
Roosevelt understands their position,
and that they have fullest confidence
I I'm him.
They show not the slightest indica-
I tion that they have I'm any wise chang
ed their position or are prepared to
yield more than they were last Friday,
wneu the plenipotentiaries adjourned.
Both sides will present their pro-
tocols for signature tomorrow. one side
or the other must then make a move
or all that will be left VIII be a brief
final protocol certifying that they have
reached the parting Of the ways and
to bid each other farewell. But such
an abrupt termination is hardly antici-
pated.

local dealers who could furnish some
OF the supplies enumerated IN the pro-
posals, but could not comply with the
