Portsmouth, n. II. (SpcciaD.-In a
last desperate effort to secure the resto-
ration of friendly relations between
their country and Russia the Japanese
peace plenipotcntiaries will Tuesday
make concessions that it is hoped may
lead up to peace.
To President Roosevelt is due the
credit of having produced this concilia-
tory move on the part of Japan, for il
is upon suggestions submitted by him
TO the Toxic government that the new
proposals are based.
While the Russians profess emphat-
ically that they do not know what the
Japanese representatives intend TO offer
or, indeed, that they will offer anything
at all in the way Of modified condi-
tions, they have heard unoficially that

20 PEOPLE DROWNED AT SEA.
Steamer Peconlc Sinks Off Florida Coast
Only Two Lives Saved

Fernandina, Fla. (SpeciaD Twenty
men, constituting all but two of the Off
GERS and crew of the American steam
ship Peconic, bound from Philadelphia
to New Orleans with coal, were drown
ed by the sinking Of that vessel off the
coast of Florida. The disaster was the
result of fierce gale which ragged along
the coast during the night and early
morning.
LaShed by the storm, an immense wave
struck the vessel with terrific force abou:
1890 O'Clock A. NJ. The impact, COM
ing just -as the vessel was making a
turn, caused shift of the cargo, and
the vessel leaned over and sank imme-
diately. The accident occurred so quick
~ that only two Of those aboard her
an Indian and a Spanard-were able to
save themselves They succeeded in get
ting into a lifeboat, reached Amelia
Beach about noon, and on landing told
the story of the disaster.
These men could speak no word OF
English. They said they were the only
survivors of the crew OF the Peconic
commanded by Captain Jones.
