the overtures the force of coming from
 responsible quarters whereas the pre-
 viOus movements lacked official origin.
 This clears the way for conversations
 between officials and diplomats here
 and at other capitals which are now
 actively going on. M. Nelidoff, the
 Russian ambassador here, has already conferred with the French authorities,
 who are fully aware of the desires of
 Count Lamsdorff and M. Witte. The change of the foreign office portfolio from M. Delcasse to Premier Rouvier caused a slight delay, but there is every. indication that M. ROuvier will lend strong aid toward bringing the parties together. This is likely to occur both through the Japanese au- thorities here and indirectly with Lon don as an Intermediary of 4sIace'aa British and American influences are chiefly relied on to move Japan now that Count Lamsdorff and M. Witte have made the preliminary approach es. The sentiment here is strongly against over optimism, as it is said that serious obstacles remain. One Os the chief is the emperor's failure per sonally to approve Count Lamsdorff's initiative, which leaves doubt as to whether the movement has the silent acquiescence of the emperor. Diplo- mats here hold the view that Toki0 would prefer to continue the war until VladivostOk is taken and all the terri tory up to Lake Baikal is under Jap anese control. The diplomats also be lieve that Tokio will hesitate to lay down terms until 1t is clear that Elm peror Nicholas is willing to treat for peace.
