Washington, June 15.-Russian for
NAL response to President Roosevelts
appeal TO the Far Eastern belligerents
cor 4 cessation OF hostllities has been
communicated to the Toxic govern
ment by the President. The note writ
ten by Count Lamsdorff, by direction
1 OF Emperor Nicholas, and handed by

placed, In turn, in the hands OF Min

The president is in hourly expectation
that a response may be received from
the Japanese goyernmnt.
Doubt is expressed IN important Guar
ters whether the Russian response Is
satisfactory to Japan. The govern
ment OF the island empire is wary OF
its big European antagonist and has
indicated its intention Of not sacriicing
its dearly bought victories at arms In
the conflict OF diplomacy. which now

Is inclined to look sskance at that

have no objection in principle TO such

SAkHALIN ARTICLE
Was POSTPONED

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. l6.-The
crisis in the peace negotiations upon
which the eyes of the world are fast.
ened is approaching rapidly, and the
end OF this week or the first Of next at
the latest should witness the deadlock
and the end, il the conference is to 60
to pieces. Two more of the twelve ar.
ticles mum bers four and six have been
disposed Of.
Article consists Of mutual pledges
to observe the integrity Of China and
the policy Of the open door for the COM
MERGE Of all nations, and article GOV.
ers the surrender of the Russian lease
to the Liaotung peninsula, Port Ar
thur, Dalny and the Blonde and Eli
oft islands.
To article both parties gave ready
assent, and the official statement of the
adoption Of that article took care to
state that it was agreed to "unsni-
mously."
Article 5, the consideration Of which
was passed until later, provides for the
cession Of the island Of Sskhslin. Dis.
cussion appearing useless at this stage
on account Of the firm negative tone Of
the Russian reply, it was decided upon
the motion of the Japanese to defer it,
discussion, thus revealing the japanese
intention Of postponingto the end the
life and death struggle.

States minister to China, and since
last April American AMBASSADOR to
Mexico, will return in the near future,
il present plans are carried into effect,

scarcely more than three months at
his new post in the city Of Mexico, is
summoned to the United States to con-
fer with the president about the Chi
nese boycott Of American goods. He
had long conference with the presi.
dent yesterday.
While neither the president nor Am.
bassador Conger cared to discuss fo1
pu blication the nature Of their inter.
view, it is known that the am bssssdor
will not return to Mexico and that ar.
rangements are being made for bis
projected mission to Peking.
Mr.. Conger spent eight years in Chi.
ma as the American minister. He is
we'll known and popular among the

COUNTY BOARDS MAY
Change ASSESSMENT

Olympia, Aug. 16.-County boards
of equalization may raise or lower real
estate assessments this year, according
to letter sent out by the state tax
commission to the county board of
equalization Of Chehalis county. The
letter says:
"Answering your inquiry as to
whether the county board Of equaliza.
ton can pass upon realestate values at
this session and the propriety Of 90 do
ing, We have to say:
This question was subject Of pro-
found thought and careful considera-
ton Of Hon. Thomas NJ. Vance in
1898, at which time he held that coun
ty boards of equalization should re.
view and equalize real estate property
the same as personally at their annual
meetings. This conclusion, in our
Judgment, is correct, and it has been
the custom. at least in most counties
Of the state, to annually equalize real
estate values.
Some confusion has arisen from the
fact that while the assessor views,
values and lists real property in the
even numbered years, using his best
Judgment as the: basis for valuation, in
the odd numbered years be lists and
values real property as equalized by
the county board the preceding year.
This tax roll Of real and personal prop.
erty is then before the county board
for its consideration in quasi. judicial
capacity. Errors of judgment will
happen, and changed conditions and
surroundings will frequently materi.
ally affect values from one year to an.
other.
Equity suggests that if by disaster
ones property is rendered much less
valuable in year that the assessment
should be accordingly, and, by the
same token, equity demands that a
sudden appreciation Of value in prop.
erty should pay tribute by increased
assessments"
