was Count Lamsdorn's statement truly representative of the intentions of Rus ria or was 1t in the nature of bluff?"
 Tt was official, I understand" respond ed the baron, and so I suppose we must swallow it."
 What do you think of the prospect of successful issue to the peace confer ence?"
 Baron Kaneko hestated an instant and then with a shrug of his shoulders, re- piled:
 Tt Is very much like the weather down herei It Is very much"
 A rain was falling heavily and the weather was dark and gloomy and dis agreeable.
 The baron remained in conference with the President for three-quarters of an hour, returning to the Oyster Bay station in time to catch the 1920 D. m train for New York.
 "Will Japan, in your opinion, make any more concessions or propositions to bring about an agreement on the points of diff ferences?"
 "I hardly think so." he responded
 Japan has presented her terms. They are reasonable. They are a sort of ulti- matum. Our war expenditures have amounted to eighteen hundred million yen, about s9O0O ,0OO. We have made all the concessions: we have yielded every thing to bring about peace. I think there can be no more concessions.
 Japan wants peace, but we want peace with justice Russia wants peace with honor Those desires are not incompatible We may have peace yet I hope so."
 Baron Kaneko said his visit was not made on invitation of the President, but he had simply come to Oyster Bay to talk over the situation with the President. He said he was not going to Portsmouth and had no message for the Japanese plenipotentiaries

NEW TREATY WITH
 JAPAN IS SIGNED
NEW DOCUMENT DIFFERS LITTLE IN IMPORTANT RESPECTS FROM THAT MADE BEFORE THE DEG LARATloN OF WAR.

London. August 25.-The Associated Press has good reason for stating that a new Anglo-Japanese treaty of alliance has been signed, but the Associated Press understands that the treaty was signed some days ago. There is no reason why it should not be signed prior to the conclu- sion of the Portsmouth conference, as the action of that conference will not affect it's terms
 The new treaty Is broader In scope in some respects than the former treaty, notably where 1t includes the recogni- ton by Great Britain of Japanese pro tectorate over Corea and on other points which 1t was not necessary to include in the old treaty
 In some respects the new treaty con- tains limitations as compared with the old treaty. For instance, the latter con tN1ed clause to the effect that in case or a combination of the powers against Great Britain Japan would be obliged to assist her ally, while the clause of the new treaty only requires the assistance of Japan so far as the British colonies in the far east and the Pacific are con- cerned. The Associated Press under stands that the terms of the new treaty were fully agreed upon before Parliament adjourned, but 1t was also agreed that the official announcement of it's signature and of its full terms should be deferred until after the conclusion of the Ports- mouth conference.

Komura May Be Consolidating.


 This would seem to indicate that the Presidents second effort had failed at St Petersburg. What If anything he has been able to do at Tokio through his in- terview with Baron Kaneko this after noon still remains mystery That the last word had not come from TolSio and that Baron Komura may still appear in a concllatory role tomorrow may possibly be inferred from the following fact
 'The time for the sitting of the con ference tomorrow was not set when tic adjournment was taken on Wednesday. This evening M Witie rotlfed the Japa- nese mission that he was ready to meet it in the morning at 30 o'clock. The Japanese after consultation demurred on the ground the minutes of the last meet Ing was set for o'clock in the afternoon. Information received at a late hour indi- cates that President Roosevelt's efforts are not exhausted; that he Is still in communication with Tokio and with St. Petersburg. Tomorrow's conference is not likely to prove decisive. It will probably be perfunctory and some pretext will probably be found to adjourn over until Monday or Tuesday.
 At midnight no message had reached M. Witte from the President and it was regarded as practically certain that an adjournment would be taken tomorrow until Monday

 Finally admission f the payment of this s6S5,000 to the M,fcantile Trust com pany on July IA, last, is made, but it Is stated that this occurred only after the trust company had asserted a claim against the Equitable and after this claim had been resisted and disallowed by the present managing officers of the Equitable society.
 The $250,000 loan to the Depew Improve ment company Is next admitted with a proviso which states that this admission is restricted to those of the individual defendants who were, or ought to have been, cognizant of these tr~ actions"

Examination Now u der Way.

The directors then announce that an ex- animation of all the facts in connection with the improvement company is now being prosecuted with a view to reeov- ering either by legal action or by adjust ment out of court any sums that may be found due to the Equitable society. whether the persons now possessing this money are officers of the E 'Qitable or the Depew Improvement sompany. Charges of the existence of exc i've de- poslts in the National Bank of \ nmerce of New York; The Mercantile TT Ft com pany of New York: The Commercial Trust company of Philadelphia, and at least ninteen other banks are admitted, but this admission is restricted to those directors and officers who actually had charge of or knowledge of these trans actions.
 Precisely the same restricted admission is made concerning the officers of the American Deposit and Loan company. a corporation which Is admitted to have been organized for lending money to policyhclders upon policies held in the Equitable and used to the profit of direc- tors and others in the Equitable.
 The s1o.0Oo,oO0 surplus held by the Equi- table society Is the final item considered by the directors and in substance their reply to this charge Is that they do not know precisely what their rights are reearding the surplus and that they are willing to leave this matter for the courts to decide.
 In conclusion the answer says:
 'Wherefore, this defendant joins in the prayer of the plaintiff in this action and thereon submits its rights and interests in the matters in question to the judg- ment of courts"
