PORTSMOUTH, n. H. Aug. 26.-In
an authoritative quarter 1t was learned
tonight that the latest suggestions Of
fered to the Emperors of the two war
ring powers a. to an amicable adjust
ment of their differences also were
communicated simultaneously TO the
ENJOYS of Russia and Japan. This ac-
tion on the part OF the PRESIDENT was
taken In order that no possible ground
for offense could be taken by the pieni-
potentiaries because of his direct ap-
peal to the Emperors.
While the terms suggested by the
President are not disclosed - is known
that they were framed on broad hu

the most heightened civilization. 1t is
permissible to say in the words of the

PARIS, Aug. 26.-Owing to the re-
ports from Portsmouth indicating that
the question of peace between Russia
and japan hinges solely on Russia pay
ing an indemnity to Japan, the Matin
cabled tonight a remarkable appeal to
John d. Rockefeller at Cleveland. The
appeal, in part, follows:
The question of money threatens to
unloosen afresh and with redoubied
violence the scourge of war. Presi-
dent Roosevelt Is making noble and
heroic efforts to end struggle be-
tween two nations, whose populations
amount to one-seventh of the entire
population OF the globe. His initia-
tive honors America. In the opinion, of
the civilized nations.
The question arises as to whether
another American would not share the
glory of Mr.. Roosevelt and complete his
work by overcoming the sole obstacle
now hindering peace. He would thus
demonstrate the might of money In
powerful and generous hands.
THE Matiu, constituting itself
spokesman for this sentiment ad-
dresses the richest citizen in the world.

PORTSMOUTH, n. H, Aug. 2e.-As
indicated in these dispatches last night
there was no rupture in the peace ne
gotiations to-day. Peace is by no
means assured. but an important crisis
has been tided over and the fact that
the life Of the conference has been
prolonged into next week adds ma
terially to the chance for a favorable
Issue.
According to the Russian version it
was Japan and not Russia which
weakened this afternoon. Mr.. de WItte
publicly announced after the sitting
that il was Baron Komura who asked
for an adjournment until Monday in
order TO have time 10 submit a new
proposition. Yet II is known that Mr..
de Witte has received Instructions.

and 70 permit liberal compensation for

guise. This was described as Russia's
ultimatum," leaving over the same old
question of money-the stumbling
block 20 an agreement.
In the regular course of procedure,
after the presentation OF the Japanese
compromise proposition on Wednesday,
the diplomatic move passed to Russia
and il was Mr.. de Whites turn, natural
ly, 10 present the counter proposition
CT his Government. If he succeeded,
as intimated. in Withholding his card

ULTIMArUM OF THE GEAR.
Will Not Pny One Penny of Indemnity
I'm Any Guise whatever. S

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 6.-Embas-
sador Meyer to-day communicated to
President Roosevelt Emperor Nicholas
ultimatum, namely. that Russia will not
pay one penny of indemnity TO Japan,
in any guise whatsoever Russia is
ready to agree to division OF Sagha-
lien, Japan retaining that portion pre-
viously belonging to her and Russia re-
tanning the northern portion Russia
will pay for the maintenance OF her
prisoners, but will make no conces-
sions in addition to those already made
If Japan does not accede to these terms
peace is impossiGe and the war will
continue.
Mr.. Meyer to-day received number
of cablegrams from Washin gton, as the
result of which he called upon Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff this afternoon.
The Foreign Office announced to-day
that the situation was still unchanged
and that there had been no develop
ments over night affecting Russia's po-
sition.
The Russ says: 1T is self evident
that Japan is greatly in need of money
and that she will not be able to con-
tinue the war without it, but Russia
has no reason to pay an indemnity, d.
rectly or indirectly, and will not do SO.
1t may be that President Roosevelt VIII
be able to find an outlet from the i'm
passe. Americans can work miracles
in matters of finance.
The Novoe Vremya says: Cannot the
fortunes of war come our way we
have learned something in the last
eighteen months and have strengthened
our army and improved its equipment
