Dr Bixby, one of the surgeons attend ing Jay. said to-day that the injured man still has fighting chance for life. Complications for internal in- juries were the greatest source of danger, he said.

 His mission will be 10 consult with the president with view to bringing about an agreement between the Rus sian and Japanese enroys that will prevent final rupture between the TWO sets of plenipotentiaries The representative will come to Oyster Bay by direct invitation of the president That invitation was transmitted to NJ. Witte last night after the president had had a conference with Baron Kaneko, who came here late yesterday afternoon as a representative of the Japanese government.
 Neither the president nor Baron Kaneko would disclose any of the de- tails of their conference, but after the baron left at s o'clock an important message was sent to Herbert H. D.. Peirce. assistant secretary of state, at Portsmouth, which Mir Peirce com municated to the Russian envoys. Later an exchange of messages took place between Oyster Bay and Ports mouth, Secretary Peirce acting as in- termediary between the president and the Russian plenipotentiaries.
 While details of these communica- tlons are lacking, it is known that they represented an earnest effort on the part of the president to bring the envoys into an agreement that would he satisfactory to both belligerent gov ernments Whether the president urged that concessions be made by either side or suggested any other means by which an agreement might he reached is not known.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug 19.-Presi- dent Roosevelt has stepped into the breach and is making last desperate effort to save the peace conference from shipwreck. That in sentence is De- lieyed to be the situation this morn- ing. Just what the president is doing has not transpired. but it is regarded as certain that he has appealed both to TOkio and St Petersburg to induce the warning countries to show a splrit of concession and not allow the con ference to go on to the rocks next Tuesday, Mir Griscom and MT Meyer may have been instructed to make direct appeals to the emperors Of the two countries. If the cooperation of France and England, the allies of the respective belligerents, is secured, something may be accomplished. ln the last report the main obstacle to success of the peace negotiations is certain to prove to be the question Of indemnity. Russia will not pay "a cOpeck of tribute" the language of NJ. Witte. That is believed to be Rus sia's last word on that question. The question of the cessiOn of Sakhalin may be. arranged. Unless Japan re linquishes her claim for "the cost of the war" therefore, hope is gone. It is said at Tokio, consequently, that the issue will probably be decided. France, it is certain, will support the presidents efforts. If England will now bring pressure to bear. as it is definitely stated she is now prepared to do, the situation may be saved.
 Arrangements have been made for as many of those connected with the pease missions of Russia and Japan as may desire to go to the York Country club at York. Me. this afternoon. The trip will be made by launch and troll ley The launches will leave the hotel landing at o'clock and connect with a special electric car at Kittery.
 The return will be made in the same manner It is not known who of the delegations will make the trip. The courtesies of the club have been ex- tended to the party and those who go will doubtless avail themselves of Its privileges during the afternoon.
