The nominations are claimed by the dem

strong fight. The following were already
declared nominees, having had no oppo-
sition:
d. /. Eggleston of Charlotte, for secre-

Portsmouth. N. H.. August 22.-The As
ISOLATION Press is now in a possession to
reveal substantially the suggestion of
President Roosevelt for breaking the ex-
listing deadlock In the peace negotiations
and rescuing the conference from failure.
His suggestion would permit the salts
faction of the japanese demands for
reimbursement for the cost of the war,
and at the same time enable Russia to
face the world with the declaration that
she has not ceded foot of territory or
paid a kopeck of war tribute to the
victor. The solution Is the one which
has heretofore been described in the AS
ISOLATED Press dispatches as the natural
and logical compromise.
Tersely stated II consists in an agree
ment by Russia to repurchase possession
of either all or half of the island of Sak-
halin now in the military possession of
the Japanese for a sum, the amount of
which, II the countries cannot agree.
shall be decidede by some method OF ar
bitration hereafter to be determined The
purchase money, together with the sum
japan would obtain from the cession of
the Chinese Eastern railroad, and the
maintenance of the Russian prisoners in
Japan, would, 1t is estimated, about equal
the amount claimed by Japan as the
bill for the cost of the war.

Deep soIloItude In Paris.

Paris. August ga feeling of deep So
iocitude prevails concerning the crisis
at Portsmouth, which officials expect VIII
continue for some days pending the last
desperate efforts to avert q rupture. The
view In official quarters took discourage
ing turn apparently as the result OF con-
fldential advices through official Russian
sources.
The bourse today at first showed sur
ps.ising buoyancy, Russian As opening at
an advance of % centimes. but Later dis
eouraging advkces from Portsmouth for a
time dispelled the optimistic feeling OF
the market and caused general decline.
Shortly before the close Russian and
other securities were heavily offered, and
the closing was weak. This was IN marked
contrast to the steady sentiment of con-
fdence heretofore prevailing.
Financiers continue hopeful that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will find a way to prevent
n renewal of the war. but at the same
time they say that a continuance of the
war will not seriously affect the market
owing TO the fact that Rucssia has enough
balance In Paris from the last loan to
carry on operations for several months.
Nevertheless the uncertainties of the sit
uation have produced feeling of nervous
apprehension throughout official. finan-
cial and diplomatic quarters.

where the Russian headquarters are
located.
Shortly afterwards the translation

of her desire for peace In the articles
already accepted, and that more she

Willing to Continue War.

ST. Petersburg, August 23.--(2:30 a. m.)-
The effect of President Roosevelt's per-
sonai influence towards reconciling the
differences between the Russian and jap
anese plenipotentiaries Is being watched
with the closest attention here. Though
all save the highest representatives of
the foreign offices are In ignorance of the
exact status of the negotiations. 1t Is felt
generally that the negotiators are on the
verge of deadlock.
The public at large has practically re-
conciled itself to the apparent necessity
of continuing the war, and there Is only
one opinion about the desirability OF
peace-if obtained without humiliation
The action therefore of the President Is
far from unwelcome. A growing convic-
ton Is noticeable in official circles that
If the conference failed, 1t would be be-
cause of inability TO agree upon the
question of indemnity which is regarded
now as practically the one point on which
there is no hope of agreement. unless the
Japanese reduce their demands very ma
terfally.

BOTH SIDES MUST
MAKE SOME CONCESSIONS.

Possibly, therefore, the solution offered
by the President involves recession by
Japan upon Article 5 (the cesson of
Sakhalin) and recession by Russia upon
Article Indemnity. 1t seems practical
ly certain though 1t cannot be affirmed
positively, that the President today was
able to give M. Witte substantial as
surance that Japan would be willing to
accept such a compromise. This is ap-
parently supported by the authoritative

question to whether Japan had not

the conference, which was to have been

assigned was that the protocols for subs

MYSTERIOUS Mr.. M'GRAW
APPEARS ON THE SCENE.

j. L. McGraw, one of the stenographers
attached to the executive offices at Oyster
Bay, had arrived with a communication
from the President for the Russian pleni-
potentiaries. NJ. Witte and Baron de
Rosen had left the hotel ostensibly for
ride in an automobile car to York Beach,
but instead had quietly stepped over to
the conference building at the navy yard
to receive the message from Assistant
Secretary Peirce. The most elaborate
preparations had been taken to secure
secrecy, but 1t leaked out by a tip from
New York, which reached the Associated
Press. From 10 to 12 O'Clock M. Witte
and Baron de Rosen remained at the
conference building with Mr.. Peirce.
All those present decline to make any
statements regarding what transpired at
the navy yard, even refusing to admit
that any Importance was attached to the
matter. M. Witte would only admit that
he had gone to the building to send a
message" and Baron de Rosen and Mr..
Peirce absolutely refused to make any
statement. Mr.. McGraw took the 3zo
train to Boston, whence according to re-
port he took the merchants limited, after
