RUSSIA MUST NOW
GIVE WAY OR THE
FIGHT CONTINUES
Japanese Ambassador viii Tell British
foreign Office That Peace Is
Impossible.
NEXT THING TO uLTiMATuM
Is EAYAsHps ANNOUNCEMENT

London, Aug. 25.-6 a. m.-Viscount
Hayashi, the Japanese ambassador to
Great BrlCain, received only this morn
ing from Baron Komura at Portsmouth
a lengthy cipher dispatch summarizing
the events of the last few days and re-
questing Hayashi to communicate to
the British foreign Office the statement
that Japan could make no further con-
cesslons to Russia, and that if the ne
gotiations are to be brought to a close
ii will be simply because Russia does
not desire to pay reasonable price
for her defeats.
1t can be stated upon the highest
authority tha. the Japanese ambassa-
dor will today communicate tC the
British foreign Office statement. and
in his opinion there is no chance of
the Portsmouth convention ending the
war and that hostllities must continue
Indefinitely.
Japan is SO far convinced or this fact
that she has already sent word to her
armies in the field that they must be
prepared to advance against the Rus
SLAMS Immediately, and there is declared
to be feeling at the japanese en-
bassy that momentous news can be
expected from Manchuria within 72
hours at the latest.
The dispatch which Viscount Haya-
shi received from Baron Komura this
morning was of fully 300 words in
length and. while in cipher, is known
to have told in detail the present situa-
tion in Portsmouth and to have stated
in unmistakable language that, while
Japan was pleased at the conciliatory
attitude of President Roosevelt in en-
deavoring to have the negotiations con-
tined, there was no reason why the
world should be further deceived, but
that the time had come when Japan
should make her position known and
insist that no further foreign interfer-
ence should be tolerat--
Great interest centers here this morn
ing on the meeting of the foreign min
lister of Great Britain and Viscount
Hayashi today, and 1t is generally be-
lieved that following 1t an announce
ment may be made public that will
clear the air in Portsmouth, so far as
the japanese end of the negotiations
are concerned.

RUSSIA STANDS FIRM
M. Witte Says She Will Pay No
Indemnity.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 24.-"The
situation is unchanged" said M. Witte,
the chief Russian envoy tonight. MY
government stands firm against the
payment Of any indemnity to Japan of
whatever nature. have not yet heard
personally from Count Lamsdorff.
have, of course. seen the newspaper
accounts of what he is reported to have
said in st. Petersburg, but cannot dis
cuss them. 1t is possible that | may
receive dispatch from him later to-
night or tomorrow morning, but as yet
/ have nothing"
IF he confirms your views that Rus
sia will in no way pay for Japan's war
expenses, will the conference end Sat
urday?"
Perhaps" replied M. Witte. "but
really cannot say. | do not know, but
the way looks dark"
A more outspoken statement of the
situation from the Russian standpoint
was made by a member of M. Whites
suite as follows:
"The Japanese ENJOYS have an
nounced that under no circumstances
will they make peace unless Japan is
indemnified in some way for the cost
of the war Russia, on our SIDE, has
definitely determined that under no cir
cumstances will she pay war tribute
to Japan in whatever guise the demand
is presented. There you are, Some one
must give way II there is to be prog
ress.
Now, If at the Saturday conference
it is suggested that there shall be a
further postponement until some time
next week, there may still be hope
Otherwise, Saturdays conference will
be the end unless one of three things
happen. Either japan must yield and
make concessions. President Roosevelt
may have some new proposition to sug-
gest, or there may be mediation by the
powers.
II have seen no hint of the latter as
yet. 1t is impossible for the present
situation to drag along indefinitely. In
to an end, If neither of the things |
have mentioned occurs, the meeting on
Saturday will be the last"
From the Japanese headquarters
comes the statement that Japan's last
word has been said, unless the Russians
accept the principle of her proposal
for the sale of half of Sakhalien.
Thus tonight IL looks as though the
peace plenipotentiaries of Japan and
Russia were In deadlock. AT the
same time 1t is not believed that the
peace conference will come to definite
rupture on Saturday. There is little
doubt that in the meantime the infiu-
ence of President Roosevelt and the
neutral powers will be exerted to the
uttermost to affect compromise and
bring about mutual concessions from
the ultra stand taken by the envoys OF
the two belligerent governments.

CUSSlON AT TOLEDO.
Municipal Ownership Keeps Cropping
Out in League Of American
Mur.ic !palities.

Toledo. O., Aug. 24.-The feature OF
the convention of the League of Ameri-
can Municipalities today has been the
outcropping of discussions along the
line of municipal ownership. There is
strong sentiment among the western
delegates to the effect that the conven-
ton should thoroughly thresh out the
subject and place itself on record
as either favoring or disapproving the
plan and give the reason therefor. and
it is possible that before the conven-
ton adjourns motion along this line
will be offered by some delegate from
either Chicago or St. Louis.
Today's sessions of the convention
were for the most part devoted ex-
clusively to the reading and discussing
of technical papers on subjects of mu-
nicipal government. The attendance
was large and the discussions for the
most part animated. Peter Witt, of
Cleveland, precipitated the best dis
cussion of the day when he took the
platform to reply to certain charges
made by Henry BOIL, of Columbus,
Ohio, that he had tried to make po-
litical capital for the Democratic
party out of the convention. Witt was
mad clear through and denounced the
attack on him as malicious.
II want 1t understood" he yelled,
that l have in no way used politics
in my address and nothing was said
with political intent. haven't
enough respect for the country's So
called partisan politics as to respect
either party. They are both rotten" "
Mayor Dunno, of Chicago, was ten
dered a reception that reached the
height of an ovation when he put in
an appearance at the session. The
business of the convention had to be
suspended ten minutes as he made his
way to the seat reserved for him on
the platform. He was greatly inter-
ested in the discussion on the various
topics and followed the speakers close
ly.
A decided sensation followed a
scathing. virulent attack on Mayor
Dunno of Chicago and the advocates of
municipal ownership at the late after
noon session by Mayor Woodward of
Atlanta. Mayor Dunno had explained
his views, declaring that municipal
ownership was the only plan by which
the citizens of city could get salts
factory results out of public utilities.
Mayor Woodward followed and at
tackled the advocates Of municipal own
ership in bitter language. declaring
that the scheme is but an frridescent
dream, impossible of fulfillment. He
attacked Mayor Dunno for having, as
he claimed, deceived the voters of Chi
cago by promising something he could
not do. This attack startled the con-
vention, which adjourned in great
confusion.
Mayor Dunno declined to answer
Mayor Woodward in any way.
