SUGGESTS ARBITRATION.
That Is Said to be the Presidents Plan
Of Action.

Portsmouth, Aug. 21.-The Asso-
ciated Press is able to announce that
the feature of the proposition of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, communicated thru
Baron Rosen to Mr.. White, and trans
mitted by the latter to Emperor Mich
olas, was based upon the principle OF
arbitration
Whether the proposal contemplates
|hrbitration of all the articles upon
which the plenipotentfaries have
failed to agree or only upon the
question Of indemnity cannot be
stated with positiveness but it is more
than probable that it relates only to
Indemnity or to indemnity and the
cession Of the island of Sakhalin.
Neither is it possible to say whether
the president has yet made a similar
proposition to Japan.
The customary diplomatic proceed
ings in such a case would be to sub
NIT the proposal simultaneously to
both countries, but there might be
an advantage in securing the adher-
ence Of one before surnbitting it to
the other. To Emperor Nicholas, the
author of The Hague peace confer
ence, the suggestion of arbitration,
which will Immediately command the
sympathy Of the public opinion of the
world, will be particularly hard to re-
ject.
If he agrees, Japan, If she has not
already done so, will be all the more
bound to submit her claim to the deci-
sion of an impartial arbitrator.
Acceptance by both sides would in
volve a great extension of the prin-
ciple of arbitration, as nations here
tofore have declined to arhitrate
questions involving her "honor and
dignity" Both Mr.. Takahira and Mr..
Witte in the earlier stages of the
conference absolutely rejected the
idea of arbitration and only Saturday
both reiterated their disbelief in
such solution. 1t was noticed how
ever, that Mr.. Whites opinion was not
expressed as strongly as it was last
week,

ENGLAND WILL NOT AID.
Not Likely to Ask Japan to Modify
Her Demands.

London, Aug. 21.-The Associated
Press was informed at the foreign Of
fee today that President Roosevelt
has not requested the British govern
ment to make representations to japan
on the question Of peace. The foreign
office thinks it would be impertinent,
for the British government to request
Japan to modify her demands.
The government believes her de-
mands are moderate and Japan should
not be deprived of the fruits Of her
victory. The foreign office further said
it did not believe Japan would modify
the terms put forward at the opening
Of the conference The official reports
received by the government from Rus
sia take gloomy view of the situation.
Members of the British cabinet are di-
vided, some taking a hopeful view,
others believing all nope of peace mas
been dissipated.

remains for decorators is the dusting
of the walls in the north and south

Berlin is skepticaI.

Berlin, Aug. 21.-There has been a
decided weakening Of confidence felt
by the government officials and mem-
bers of the diplomatic corps that the
negotiations at Portsmouth would re-
suit in a peace agreement.
The worst symptom, as it is looked
at here, is that President Roosevelt
should have found it necessary to
again take action. One of the bellig-
erents it is said, invited the president
to intervene. Whatever the president
may have done is likely to be strongly
supported by the German government.

That more were not killed is mirac-
ulous, for the accident occurred with
a suddenness that precluded any hope
Of escape for those on the front end Of
the car. Most Of them were women
and young girls. Six Of these were
killed, the other two victims being
men. Protruding from beneath the
bottom Of the mass Of twisted and
broken timbers, were the feet and
lower limbs Of several victims, the
limbs badly crushed and the feet Of
one woman were almost completely
severed just above the ankles. Her
agonizing screams could be family
heard, but as the remainder Of the
body was obscured from view It was
impossible to identity the victim. II, Y
train which struck the street car was
composed Of fourteen freight cars. The
street car was approaching from the
south and there are conflicting stosies
as to whether It made the uslsssl cross
ing stop, although 1t is believed it di;l.
Conductor Hoagland says he was on
top Of the train with q lantern, and
warned the motorman, but the latter
put on speed and attempted to cross
ahead Of the train.
